There are well over 100 such households around me...and some of the brief conversations had with some of them will make your head spin.

Have to say,had the same encounter with many of our neighbors.. The retired military folks are the worst. Talk about being blinded to reality and full of hatred towards anyone of color,so sad,but true.

As in how McConnell did when pressed about his conference presentation in June.

I'm certainly worried about an increased Rethug presence next year, but if their BEST strategy is turning tail and running, my worries may not be that well founded.

I don't want to give that kind of snark too snarky. She could have gotten those talking points from Erskine Bowles, co-chairman of the Catfood Commission.

that folks will vote for. So they couch their rhetoric as 'those who have it now' and other weasel words.

They are doing this across the country. They know they will get clobbered if the truth comes out about SS & Medicare.
Do whatever you can to help get the truth out.

We can only save these programs for future generations by eliminating them and creating new Republican programs that leave seniors in dire straits. And all conservatives said, "amen".

... It's always an evasive duck & cover switch back to their 'values' crap.

But huge kudos to the TV reporter for doubling down on her nonsense, and to the TV station for airing this interview.

Most TV stations would simply follow orders 'from above', and switch to the next segment without showing anything that would embarrass or expose Republicans.
