A new definition of desperate...

Senate Republicans trying to claim they are afraid that the health care reform bill will hurt Medicare... A program they have been trying to torpedo as long as I've been a legal voter.

Lets face it. They think Americans are idiots with no memories. Or at least, they think Seniors might be. That seems to be what they are baking on in this latest move to protect their big-money insurance industry supporters from reaping the field of distress they have sown among working americans

If I were a senior, I'd be pissed off at them right now. Course any Senior with still functioning neurons should have been pissed at them for a long time before this.

It reminds me of an old jewish joke...

"Chutzpah is killing your parents and then throwing yourself on the mercy of the court because you are an orphan."

Chutzpah seems to be in no short supply among the republicans in the senate.
