Any Dem Who Supports Chained CPI Or Medicare Means Testing Might As Well Be GOP - They Are Giving -

them what they want in the end. No amount of revenue agreed to by the GOP is worth tampering with Social Security and Medicare. For Nancy Pelosi to say that she and other Dems support such measures as long as the don't effect the poor and vulnerable must be on something. Screw that shit. Screw that rhetoric.

Then to say they will support such idiocy as long as it is "framed" not a cut but a way to save both programs. They are really stupid if they think they can fly that garbage. What part of NO to these idiots NOT understand. Even saying you support these ideas and you lose. And what do you do if they answer your bluff?

We are now down to the point where the lesser of two evils is becoming very little different. They way some of the Dems are thinking if the GOP came up with the idea of shooting gays because they are immoral, the Dems would agree to jailing them for life as a compromise. Dem"s logic on this latest battle can't even be defined as stupid. It is insane. And I am pissed.

Revenue at any cost is a loser and 2014 will be a blood bath. And the Dems are gambling with the lives of millions.

AND I AM REALLY REALLY FURIOUS BECAUSE CHAINED CPI WILL HURT DISABLED VETS AS WELL. The message I get from this bull is that if you are wounded on the battlefield JUST DIE. We cannot afford to pay vets who can no longer take care of themselves.

the OP writes "We are now down to the point where the lesser of two evils is becoming very little different".

The more candidates on their side that wins, the further right it goes, so it will be even further to the right than one might want now, and it's 100% due to the stupid protests vote in years past, including the sit on ones hand and help elect republican/teaparty/libertarians in 2010.

How did that protest vote help where today is?
Answer- it hurt 1000times worse than if one came out and voted.

Not one candidate on the right would have won had people come out to vote for the democratic candidate in 2010.
Great message it sent. Only inspires the same type of this wrong logic in 2014.

imho
