Here is a post from this Yahoo article "Poll: Vast majority of tea partiers
oppose cuts to Medicaid, Medicare":
A remedial history lesson for the Obama bashers:
First the GOP gave everyone massive deficit causing tax cuts while saying,
dont worry about the deficit, the tax cuts will cause economic prosperity
and increase tax revenue.
Then they push to invade the wrong country while letting the mission in the
right country get totally mismanaged, all while putting the bill for this war
on the national credit card.
Then they didnt pay attentions to signs of the economy going off a cliff, due
to their own economic priority of deregulating the financial industry
Then Obama takes office with the economy losing 700K jobs/month, but in the 2 yrs
since then has net positive 1mil+ jobs created. This is after total net jobs were
lost over his predecessor's 8 years (see First above).
Then a bunch of GOPers who voted for Bush twice rename themselves Tea Party
members out of embarassment and shame at the past 8 years, and hope they can
misdirect the anger in the population at the results of the policies they
spent 8 years supporting.
Then the GOP obstruct as much jobs legislation as possible in the senate while
pointing fingers at the dems saying they arent doing enough about the jobs situation
Then they run on the need to cut spending, despite CAUSING THIS PROBLEM THROUGH
THEIR OWN POLICIES (see above)
Then the GOP get elected on a mandate they'll create jobs but after the election
they immediately hold UI benefits and middle class tax cuts hostage unless those
making 1mil+ get their tax cut extended too. The end result is extensions of these
tax cuts at a cost of 70bil+/yr. So much for the deficit and fiscal responsibility. (jobs?)
Then their first bill through the house attempts to redefine rape to restrict a
woman's abortion rights in rape situations, as well as reducing womens' rights in
general by make date rape much more easily defendable in court (jobs?)
Then they attach riders to the 2011 budget attacking womens' healthcare and school
lunches for poor kids(jobs?)
Then these Tea Party members (ie ex-Bush supporters) get 235 of their members to
commit political suicide by voting to end medicare while giving the rich YET
ANOTHER massive unnecessary tax cut.
Then the adults raise some taxes, close some loopholes, cut a little spending,
and balance the budget without tossing the elderly in the gutter. Instead they
toss the GOP/Tea Party into the gutter in '12
Yep, I think that about sums it up.http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_theticket/20110421/pl_yblog_theticket/poll-vast-majority-of-tea-partiers-oppose-cuts-to-medicaid-medicare;_ylt=ApmlMMslVy1MYg8PlKEY6tus0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTVrMHI0cTdpBGFzc2V0A3libG9nX3RoZXRpY2tldC8yMDExMDQyMS9wb2xsLXZhc3QtbWFqb3JpdHktb2YtdGVhLXBhcnRpZXJzLW9wcG9zZS1jdXRzLXRvLW1lZGljYWlkLW1lZGljYXJlBGNjb2RlA21vc3Rwb3B1bGFyBGNwb3MDNgRwb3MDMwRwdANob21lX2Nva2UEc2VjA3luX2hlYWRsaW5lX2xpc3QEc2xrA3BvbGxtYWpvcml0eQ--
