Cue reality:

Teabaggers are FAUX viewers. Assuming they are watching FAUX because they are poor AND on Social Security and Medicare/medicaid, why not have SOMEONE from the Left just get up and tell these assholes that they will LOSE their cherished Gubrment doll if the Repukes take over again? Or maybe they just need to have Social security and Medicare explained to them.

Or maybe they never bothered to READ (or can't) their Social Security check where it says UNITED STATES TREASURY




And the Obama Administration is afraid of these asscarots?

2. When I was MUCH younger, we called them Blue hairs and straw hats
because whenever you ran into them, all they did was bitch, about EVERYTHING, and yet here they were living on the government dole. Now they have their very own network, and they STILL find reasons to bitch and complain about what is keeping them alive.

3. It's not very surprising that there are at least 3 million stupid seniors in this country.

4. True story
Edited on Thu Aug-12-10 07:59 PM by nadinbrzezinski
last year at the coffee shop, I was working on some fiction and our resident curmudgeon went on and on as to how he didn't support no damn guv'ment health care, but stay away from my medicare.

So I asked, gently mind you... "You do know who runs Medicare!"

"Don't care! If the government takes over they will destroy my medicare."

So I did the ever so popular, take browser here

http://www.medicare.gov/Default.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1

And then asked him after showing him the page... see that GOV at the top? What do you think that stands for?

He had that look of deer in headlights.

So gently I told him, the Government has been administering that Medicare since 1965... yes that federal government...

And that conversation repeated itself a few times over the course of the summer. To say that they were surprised or shocked is to put it mildly.

6. They have been fed so much crap they just don't know truth any longer
I saw an elderly couple at the Target this morning in their (what else) Ford Taurus will ALL of the Teabagger bumpers stickers. As I was paying for my prescriptions, guess who ambled up to the pharmacy counter? Yup, them, and I am SURE they need their whatever provided by Medicaid.


I could not hassle them because it would have done no good.
