I know you wanted to basically save your own political skins, but thanks anyway. And to Rand Paul, meh, you want Granny to die faster, because you only wanted deeper cuts.

Harry Reid, where has the real you been hiding?

"The Republican plan to kill Medicare is a plan to make the rich richer and the sick sicker."

THAT is the rallying cry. 40 PUKE Senators voted FOR the Ryan plan, 40 PUKE Senators who signed their political death sentence.

I could not be happier.

"The Republican plan to kill Medicare is a plan to make the rich richer and the sick sicker."

^snip^

A handful of Republicans � Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Olympia Snowe (Maine), Scott Brown (Mass.), Rand Paul (Ky.) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) � joined Democrats to reject the House budget, 40-57. Paul voted against it because Ryan�s plan still adds $8 trillion to the debt over the next decade.

I don't like him either, but if we are going to talk about the (R)s who voted against the Ryan budget then IMO we should include all of them.

8. I think the "why" is important.

Rand is just an idiot and an embarassment to Kentucky.
