GraniteGrok: First she votes to take $500 Billion away from Medicare, now she want to do "kissy-face"

Carol Shea-Porter, NH CongressCritter from NH's CD-1 (Democrat), voted with her mistress, Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, to take $500 Billion away from the Medicare program via Obamacare.

After all, the ONLY way to "bend the curve down" is to NOT pay for stuff and with the Boomer generation retirements starting to rev up quickly, what's a "vote 100% with the Democrat Leadership kind of politician" to do?

She knows, she knows! Using her Congressional perk, send out yet ANOTHER full color mailing and invite all those folks she is about to defraud ("Oh no, THIS won't lower the quality of your care!") into her offices for a nice "sit-down". Make nice, make small talk, make "kissy-face".

There's another phrase that describes this: Pandering to seniors is one. CYA is another. Best one?

Sleight of hand

No, not like magicians - think more like the Three Card Monte shillmen.

So, TEA Party Seniors, time to go tell her a piece of your mind - that is, if she has the courage to even show up!

for every one that RSVP's to get in... how many of them can be in wheelchairs? how many of those wheelchairs need to be pushed by people that won't have to RSVP? are they really going to deny someone pushing granny (who RSVP'ed) in a wheelchair? put THAT on the news!

Probably only if her security is as lax as it is at a WH state dinner, ha!

The $500 billion is from new efficiencies, you know that. None of the Democrats' health insurance reform bills will hurt Medicare one bit. And as someone who is just about a senior who will soon benefit from Medicare, I'm pleased that Carol Shea-Porter is willing to spend time to explain benefits for seniors. We know that Congresspeople have in past years certainly spent a lot of their time making sure that well-to-do businesspeole get their benefits from our government.

Humph! $500 B is from new efficiencies....easy to say, harder to do, eh? It's all just talk right now... Yep, against the well-to-do business people who have worked their butts off...oh yeah, doesn't our US Senators and Congressman have really great health coverage and pensions? Difference, they haven't worked their butts off except to try to destroy our country. Carol Shea Pompous could give a hoot about seniors or veterans. It's nothing more than a photo op for her as usual. I've heard from many veterans that have attended her supposed "caring" little talks and were sick to their stomachs by her obvious photo op set-up. But, she'll be gone soon as people are waking up and starting to take notice of the other half of the Pelosi twins!
