Explosive! Federal Gag Order on Medicare Cuts
Outraged that the federal government placed a gag order on healthcare companies concerning cuts in Medicare, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell took to the floor of the Senate to condemn this muzzling of free speech and to demand that the gag order be lifted.
Apparently the Humana Corporation, which offers supplemental Medicare insurance, sent out a memo in the mail to its customers warning
More.. them that certain legislation being pushed in Congress would more than likely result in a reduction of Medicare benefits.
That statement is true. Obama and the Democrats have proposed a 500 billion dollar cut in Medicare benefits over the next few years in order to help pay for 'healthcare reform' that will shift healthcare spending from senior adults to illegal aliens and those who do not presently have coverage. Less..

Obama must have found Karl Roves's old playbook in the White House.
I find it funny that Republicans are only now concerned about losing their constitutional rights.
Maybe this administration should have put the words "patriot" or "homeland" in the proposed legislation. That used to get conservatives on board for just about anything.
Any way you cut it, Jr. W. Bush set the precedent for this kind of shit, the Democrats just aren't as good at intimidating the dissenters.

And the Democrat sheep on this site continue to graze, graze, graze. Oblivious to the horrors of what it is to be a Democrat, focusing instead on bizarre shit like Fox News, Palin, and a plethora of conservative radio hosts. Meanwhile, back at the ranch their fearless leaders bob, weave, avoid, and duck the issues surrounding healthcare and the huge impact on our everyday citizens.
How proud you all must be.
OK, respond now with a barrage of personal insults and non-related nonsense.

Vote them out in 2010!
And vote who in, j? Both parties have failed the country miserably.
You will not see real change until you outlaw corporate lobbying and implement the death penalty for politicians who betray the public trust.

And words like "free" and "wealthy" are words that got leeches like you and yours on board for just about everything. If "homeland" was such a terrible word along with "patriot" then Dear Leader Barrack surely would have struck them from our vocabulary. Instead, the Dept of Homeland Security rolls on and the Patriot Act was responsible for busting a terror ring in New York 4 days ago.
I do agree that Democrats aren't good at intimidation. That's why we have this thread this morning on gag orders now isn't it?

I could have made the exact same statement 4 years ago and simply substituted the word "Republican" for "Democrat".
Wake up dude, it's the same people calling the plays no matter which team has the ball.
ALL sheep believe their shepherd is their savior because he keeps the wolves away........ of course this is so he can milk, fleece and slaughter them for his own profit.

Me and mine? I didn't vote for this shit.
Pull your head out of your ass and understand that the tactics haven't changed in 35 years, only the name of the party in charge.

Begin by NOT voting party lines. Vote for the individual. Examine the indvidual's actions, not rhetorick. Examine the individual's associations, not party. Know who you're voting for!!!
Abolish laws that protect Congress from insider trading prosecution, allow lobbyists in "Washington", and gives control of our lives to a government that we are supposed to control.
End the wealfare state. Need does NOT constitute a right. To deserve something means that you have earned it. To exist does not indicate that you have earned anything. To need something means that you require it to exist or to accomplish a task or goal that you have set for yourself. If you need something then earn it.
