Nothing new
here. Just concrete evidence of the DeMarxists stated intention to
destroy health care for senior citizens, minority African-American and
Hispanic seniors in particular. FOUR HUNDRED AND SIXTY BILLION DOLLARS
in Medicare cuts, just for starters. These cuts will be used to fund
other programs, including medical coverage for illegal aliens and
funding for abortions among others.
The Demarxitons, in lockstep, voted 58-42 to strip the funds from
Medicare in order to cover some THIRTY ONE MILLION ‘uninsured
Americans’, of whom up to TWENTY MILLION may be illegal aliens.
As far as the doubly treacherous AARP is concerned, Senator John
McCain stated it best when he said Thursday, “Take your AARP card, cut
it in half and send it back”. “They’ve betrayed you”. Seniors have
every right to be ready to fire up the tar kettles right now.
Politically, this could prove disastrous for Democrats, as they
desperately try to gain passage of the Senate version of the bill
before the end of the year and the advent of next year’s midterm
elections. The duplicitous AARP has given the DeMarxists the political
cover they think they need, while claiming to speak for the majority of
seniors which they DO NOT.
Republicans charged that Medicare is already in trouble. It needs to
be fixed, not raided to create another new program. The Medicare vote
went to the heart of seniors’ concerns that cuts from the program used
to finance coverage for the uninsured will undermine the quality of
their care. They are right on both counts despite the DeMarxists’
canned, thin and very unconvincing protestations to the contrary.
So what can you do? What can our seniors do? First, contact your
local Patriot groups and find out what you can do in your neighborhood,
region or state. Contact your local Republican district offices and do
the same thing.
We have to act locally…speaking for my own state of California, when
you have politicians who are more concerned with some mythical sea
level rise, such as our Governor, rather than the 12.6% unemployment rate and lack of jobs caused by his fiscal
irresponsibility, the crushing taxes and overbearing regulation that
are causing jobs to exit our state wholesale…yes!…we need to start
locally!
Add to that the continuing pressure we have to keep up on Congress, in
particular the members of the Senate with emphasis on those facing
election this coming year.
D ick Morris has stated that he believes we can win back both the
House and the Senate next year. From his lips to God’s ears. God may
need a little help folks…lets get busy!!
Semper Vigilans, Semper Fidelis
