So, the GOP wants to turn Medicare into Obamacare. Got it.

It’s amazing… through their own incompetence, McConnell and Ryan’s GOP colleagues managed to avoid shooting themselves in the foot by not passing TrumpCare. Undaunted, the Republicans are making yet another attempt to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by attacking Medicare, thus providing Democrats and their allied organizations with another reason to keep mobilized.

And of course, conveniently forgetting who has their back on this:

This is awesome! These stupid gits are signing their own death warrants with this scheme! Economically anxious older white voters whose retirement plans/savings took a beating in the recession, and who voted for Trump, will certainly love to hear about a Republican plan to slash the one health plan everyone over 64 relies on. They might as well propose cuts to Social Security while they’re at it. Don’t do suicide halfway! Bite the cyanide capsule AND a pull the trigger on a bullet to the head simultaneously!

So you couldn’t take healthcare away from the poor and needy next target seniors. It just seems they don’t care who suffers they just want to make Americans suffer

Sometimes I think that Republican members of congress perhaps just aren’t very smart.

This is one of those times.

Since the Republican base is composed of elderly whites many of whom depend on Medicare, I am pretty sure this is a bridge too far. It would seem that being a Ryan Republican is being a member of a political suicide pact.

So, not satisfied with only 75% of the country hating their guts, they proceed to try to enrage the remaining 25% too?

Morons.

Predictable Morons, but still, MORONS.

Even among the Trumpsters (ESPECIALLY THE ONES OVER 65) Medicare is sacrosanct.

As Obama once said: “Please proceed.”

Ryan is the stupidest Speaker of the House in probably more than 100 years. He has never shown the slightest understanding of any policy matter.

the republicans have wanted to kill “entitlements” since FDR’s new deal. This is who they are. They represent the investor class, not the working class. When are the voters gonna get that? The dumbasses think it’s all about abortion or gays or Muslims or black people stealing their American Dream. It’s about the money.

When you make Newt Gingrich and John Boehner look like proverbial geniuses by comparison, you’re not doing too well, Eddie…

I understand the need to reduce the deficit, but if he wants to do that he ought to reduce the defense budget. I read somewhere that Republicans want to eliminate all government programs except defense, but if you eliminate all the good things government does for average Americans, why have a defense.

Because it worked so well the last time…for a smaller program which affects fewer people.

And if you compare his morals with Dennis Hastert, you don’t choose Paulie.

Perfect picture because I can hear Paulie’s nervous laughter.

“C’mon guys, I know it was a big loss, but we can still figure out something to cut, right? Guys? Guys?”

Dumbass

Just come out and say it. You don’t believe US citizens deserve any services from the government, we should just pay taxes that will then be divvied up among the one percent. Go ahead and run on that platform, as it seems that it is all that you (GOP) stand for.
