Take a look at the video above – and then think about the fact that every member of Missouri’s GOP House delegation voted for Paul “Medicare Slayer” Ryan’s budget. Think back a little further, and you should be able to remember most of them campaigning last November on a barefaced lie – that they needed you to send them to Wasington to defend Medicare from the Democrats and Obamacare.
Now, they claim that reforming Medicare out of existence is necessary to get Medicare spending under control. But remember how they fought Obamacare, which attempts to preserve Medicare by addressing the reason Medicare spending is growing out control instead of cutting benefits?
Wonder if anyone will try to get our Missouri GOPers to explain their two-faced, logic-be-dammed approach to the welfare of our seniors? The video shows how it’s done.

And the Gas & Oil Party is counting on it staying that way! The republicans, and the uninformed who voted them into office, should be ashamed for what they are doing to those who can’t compete against their big monied sugar daddies. Their unending corporate lap dance is decimating the rights and wellbeing of middle and lower income families, and especially the ever increasing working poor. Facts and the truth about their radical agenda is, I believe, unknown to most of the people in Missouri. Sorry, but being nice and considerate to these sorry
bastindividuals and their supporters is not working and I’m done with it.I know, a little harsh. But President Obama really pissed me off today!
DW – I can relate to your disgust and anger. I’m just as disgusted at Nixon for “compromising” on Prop B after the voters passed it.
If we are going to get as steamed up this summer as the tea partiers did in 2009 when the health care reform debate was going on, we’ll have to organize now. We need to insist on OPEN town hall meetings, not those phony love fests the Repugs are so good at hosting. I attended one in 2009 with Akin and Leutekemeyer in St. Charles. When one man got confrontational and said what he was really thinking, a security guard escorted him out of the auditorium. We can’t let them do that to us this year. If they have to escort 500 people out of an auditorium, the guards will be overwhelmed. We need to use the Wisconsin model and get off our backsides now. Organize locally and speak up.
