-- A vote for any Republican is a vote AGAINST: Social Security, Medicare, Minimum Wage, Fair Pay, Food Stamps, Clean Air and Water, Modest Gun Regulations, Public Schools, Rebuilding Infrastructure and Good Jobs, Women's Rights, Veterans’ Rights, LGBT Rights, and, of course, Your Right to Vote. Let's see what the actual GOP Platform says about these, shall we? The first two in your laundry list: Social Security "While no changes should adversely affect any current or near-retiree, comprehensive reform should address our society's remarkable medical advances in longevity and allow younger workers the option of creating their own personal investment accounts as *supplements to the system* (emphasis mine). Younger Americans have lost all faith in the Social Security system, which is understandable when they read the non- partisan actuary's reports about its future funding status. Born in an old industrial era beyond the memory of most Americans, it is long overdue for major change, not just another legislative stopgap that postpones a day of reckoning. To restore public trust in the system, Republicans are committed to setting it on a sound fiscal basis that will give workers control over, and a sound return on, their investments. The sooner we act, the sooner those close to retirement can be reassured of their benefits and younger workers can take responsibility for planning their own retirement decades from now." Source: 2012 Republican Party Platform , Aug 27, 2012 Medicare "Give older Americans access to the insurance plan Congress has, including medical savings accounts. Build on the strengths of the free market system, offer seniors real choices, and make sure there are incentives for the private sector to develop drugs. No more one-size-fits-all. Medicare also needs new measures of solvency. We must reduce the administrative complexities. A reformed Medicare program will provide reimbursement at levels that will permit providers to continue to care for patients." Source: Republican Platform adopted at GOP National Convention , Aug 12, 2000 So, you see, the GOP is not *against* Social Security and/or Medicare. They recognize that both programs are dated, heading for insolvency and something must be done to continue the best in retirement security and medical care. Sounds sorta "progressive" to me. More when I feel like looking them up ............. |

You agree that they need "modification" (so does the GOP) yet you say they will be destroyed if anyone other than the Democrats present ideas to improve them. But, that's not what motivated me to post the positions. You just made a big deal about some Fox News journalist who "made up" a story about printing ballots at home in Colorado. I agree, it was stupid. Yet, you do the same thing in your signature line. What makes you different than the Fox News gal other than the fact that she has nicer legs? |
