Dear Mr. President, Please Don't Hurt Me, Thanks, Jon Runyan

by: Hopeful

Thu May 12, 2011 at 03:28:07 PM EDT



I told you last week that Jon Runyan must be realizing he was a chump to vote to abolish Medicare and now this week he's confirming it. In a signed letter, Representative Runyan and his first-year colleagues asked President Obama to not say anything mean about his Medicare vote. I didn't expect a professional football player to turn out to be a policy wonk but I am surprised he'd be crying that politics is too tough in just five months.    

As Frank Pallone told a town hall:

"Under the Republican plan, Seniors who have worked hard all their lives will no longer have the security of knowing they'll have health care when they need it," said Pallone. "These cuts are a budget buster for seniors and will force them to pay more to get significantly less care."

Runyan the Puppet (0.00 / 0)
If anyone else is like me, I've been hitting Runyan with at least 2 letters a week.  There's issues, voting records, and bills to discuss.  I have let him know that in no uncertain terms is he courageous and that he really has no voice of his own.  He's a lock-step vote for the GOP and he knows we know it.  How pathetic.  

There is no political party to represent me now.

Thank you (0.00 / 0)
for speaking the truth.  So many of these Republicans are puppets and like zombies just mindlessly go along with this insane ideology.  In the future, we have got to get out and vote these useless people out of office.  We can no longer sit back and let them destroy our society!

Funny thing is, the Medicare privatization plan would cost more money than the current system.
