Translation: If it's not democrat sponsored, Krause won't support it,
even if it is the only viable solution.

Major solutions to problems are going to take a bi partisan effort to
implement.

The we's against the they's mentality is killing the country, the same
way unions killed American industry.

Agreed.


Raise the flag and set off fireworks. We agree on something.

...David Frum, Republican conservative who thinks his party has gone too
far to the right:


"You've worked hard all your life. You've paid Medicare taxes for almost
30 years. But under the Republican plan, Medicare won't be there for
you. Instead of Medicare as it exists now, under the Republican plan
you'll get a voucher that will pay as little as half your Medicare costs
when you turn 65?and as little as a quarter in your 80s. And all so that
millionaires and billionaires can have a huge tax cut."

True, too.

--------------------------------------------------

Not exactly. Those are the fighting words by those opposed to
Medicare reform, but don't really tell the whole story. Ryan has
modified his original plan several times in attempts to make it more
palatable to all. Bottom line is that unless modified, Medicare will
become insolvent and there won't be any program for anyone. Key points
to be made:


I appreciate your analysis of Ryan's plans, but I prefer modifications
of Medicare to come from the party of those who actually care about our
aging population, and not from a snarky young congressmen and a
political party whose only interest is protecting the wealthy.

I am surprised at your response .... or the lack of a thoughtful one.
Your comment is not a position ... it's a mantra.

Harry's like a programmed robot.

Just not a very bright one...

The intelligence of a robot is controlled by the programmer. Without the
programmers, Krause would just be a pile of crumbling bones.

Flynn has also endorsed Scott Brown. He's obviously changed parties.

I don't know much about Flynn but maybe he's one of these guys who
actually thinks about issues and candidates instead of knee jerk
voting along party lines. This country could use more of that in my
opinion.

You are free to "infer" whatever you want, but that doesn't mean your
"inferences" are any more accurate than any of your other assumptions or
conclusions, w'hine.

Surely a benevolent "creator" wouldn't let those who believe suffer. Oh,
wait...

I've come around to the point of view that your so called compassion
for the common man is limited to those who might vote for a Democratic
election ticket. Those drought stricken mid-western farmers are as
conservative as you can get, and you poke fun at their religious
beliefs.
