Hey Boehner! (look what landed in my inbox today)
Take a look at what landed in my inbox today. I must say that this development is a bit refreshing. I get depressed when we are the only ones who get "swift-boated".

From my inbox:


Hey Boehner,

1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole for FIFTY YEARS.

2. I have been paying Social Security taxes for 48 YEARS (since I was15 years old. I am now 63).

3 My Social Security payments, and those of millions of other Americans, were safely tucked away
in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid the account and
give OUR money to a bunch of zero ambition losers in return for votes, thus bankrupting the system
and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme that would have made Bernie Madoff proud.

4. Recently, just like Lucy & Charlie Brown, you and your ilk pulled the proverbial football away from
millions of American seniors nearing retirement and moved the goalposts for full retirement from age
65 to age 67. NOW, you and your shill commission is proposing to move the goalposts YET AGAIN.

5 I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying into Medicare from Day One, and now you
morons propose to change the rules of the game. Why? Because you idiots mismanaged other parts
of the economy to such an extent that you need to steal money from Medicare to pay the bills.

6. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying income taxes our entire lives, and now you
propose to increase our taxes yet again. Why? Because you republican bastards spent our money
so profligately that you just kept on spending even after you ran out of money. Now, you come to the

American taxpayers and say you need more to pay off YOUR debt. To add insult to injury, you label us "greedy" for calling "bullshit" on your incompetence.

Well, Captain Bullshit, I have a few questions for YOU.

1. How much money have you earned from the American taxpayers during your pathetic political career?

2. At what age will you retire from your pathetic political career, and how much are you receiving in annual
retirement benefits from the American taxpayers?

3. How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance?

4. What cuts in YOUR retirement and healthcare benefits are you proposing in your disgusting deficit
reduction proposal, or, as usual, have you exempted yourself and your political cronies?

It is you, Captain Bullshit, and your political co-conspirators called Congress who are the "greedy" ones. It is
you and your fellow nutcases who have bankrupted America and stolen the American dream from millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers. And for what? Votes. That's right,sir. You and yours have bankrupted America for the sole purpose of advancing your pathetic political careers. You know it, we know it, and you know that we know it. And you can take that to the bank, you miserable son of a bitch.

If you like the way things are headed in Republikstan, delete this. If you agree with what a fellow American citizen says, then please pass it on.

2. Who are the "zero ambition losers" referred to in #3?
Sounds like a RW talking point about welfare queens.

3. This sounds like a rehashed version of the letter to Alan Simpson
Still valid, though.
