The Republicans are ranting and raving about the big deficit and the supposedly government takeover of the health care system in the country.
Most of these old farts who are opposing the health care reform bill are the ones who already have health insurance and most of them are on Medicare – a government run program.
The Republicans in Congress get their pay checks from the BOG government that they abhor, get their health insurance from the BIG government and will get their pension from the same big government. And these morons are ranting and raving about BIG government?
When their fancy homes are damaged by flood or hurricane, these same anti-government hypocrites will be the FIRST one in line demand government assistance.
What a bunch of fucking hypocrites!
It has been reported in the media that Republican Senator John Ensign paid $95,000 to the family of his former Chief of Staff after having an affair with his wife! Actually it was Ensign’s parents who decided to “make a gift” to the woman’s family.
The feeding frenzy about Judge Sotomayor’s nomination reached a new low a few days ago.
I watched on C-span a Republican Congressman talking to a group of high school students. This was part of the Students & Leaders series. The Congressman was John Culberson of Texas. This man’s theme was that that the federal government should get out of everyone’s life – especially his. He ranted and raved about how the federal government has taken away all the rights that are supposed to go to the states and individuals.
