Wanna buy a bridge?
The Republicans have one to sell. Rush Limbaugh was talking about it on radio today. They call it the Ryan Plan. Limbaugh says the Ryan Plan is saving Medicare. Democrats want to destroy it. That is what Obamacare does - destroy Medicare.

Republicans want to save Medicare? What simpleton in America would believe such a tall tale? Of course, Republicans want to destroy Medicare and all social programs. That has been their goal for all of our lives. Now, they want people to believe they want to "save" Medicare? It's a real pretty bridge. You wanna buy it?

1. A bridge made of bullshit....
Scrap iron is $250/ton for #1 shearable just now - the Brooklyn is closing in on gold mine status.

Bullshit - same price as always!

Sorry to billboard your OP, but the fact is that they don't when to tell the TRUTH.

I could go on and on, simply because EVERYTHING they say is a L*I*E.

But it's your OP, apologies, but I'm glad to give it a kick.

6. They believe it until they think it has a chance a pass...
Then their vote is no longer safe.

8. Jesus fucking christ... They simply have zero shame and lie at will
Yeah Yeah Yeah... First amendment... Slippery slope, I get it, I get it but for fucks sake, they should at least be made to put a disclaimer at each gold scamming break that their content is devoid of reality.

9. Facts and arithmetic are fantasies.
If the media were to hold their arithmetic and their facts to the light, they might soon stop this shit?

11. You know... I'm not sure that they would
I don't think a single one of the right wing talking heads believes a single bit of the bullshit and hate that they spew. I think they do it for the pay check. They earn their checks by twisting facts and cherry picking through them to suit their corporate masters. Facts simply do not get in their way.

Well... That and the fact that the media pretty much tows the same corporate line... It's pretty fucking annoying.

10. Limbaugh expects his fans to be ignorant of reality...
And unable to connect dots on their own. I've had this argument with TeaBagger cousins... they all claim the Ryan plan isn't a Republican plan... sure.

Limbaugh can fool some of the people all of the time.

12. It's NOT the "Ryan plan". It IS the REPUBLICAN PLAN!
They all (except 4 or 5) voted FOR it. It is theirs to own.

It is NOT the "Ryan Plan". It IS the REPUBLICAN PLAN!

15. "Somewhere, a landlord is laughing
A landlord is laughing until he wets his pants"

Lou Reed - "the Dirty Boulevard" http://youtu.be/tpxJdlcd45U


Lou Reed - Dirty Boulevard



Pedro lives out of the Wilshire Hotel
He looks out a window without glass
The walls are made of cardboard, newspapers on his feet
His father beats him 'cause he's too tired to beg

He's got 9 brothers and sisters, they're brought up on their knees

it's hard to run when a coat hanger beats you on the things
Pedro dreams of being older and killing the old man
but that's a slim chance he's going to the boulevard

He's going to end up, on the dirty boulevard

He's going out, to the dirty boulevard
He's going down, to the dirty boulevard

This room cost 2,000 dollars a month, you can believe it man it's true

Somewhere a landlord's laughing till he wets his pants
No one here dreams of being a doctor or a lawyer or anything
they dream of dealing on the dirty boulevard

Give me your hungry, your tired your poor I'll piss on 'em

That's what the Statue of Bigotry says
Your poor huddled masses, let's club 'em to death
and get it over with and just dump 'em on the boulevard

Going to end up, on the dirty boulevard

Going out, to the dirty boulevard
He's going down, on the dirty boulevard
Going out

Outside it's a bright night, there's an opera at Lincoln Center

Movie stars arrive by limousine
The klieg lights shoot up over the skyline of Manhattan
But the lights are out on the mean streets

A small kid stands by the Lincoln Tunnel

He's selling plastic roses for a buck
The traffic's backed up to 39th street
The TV Whores are calling the Cops out for a Suck

And back at the Wilshire, Pedro sits there dreaming

He's found a book on Magic in a garbage can
He looks at the pictures and stares at the cracked ceiling
"At the count of 3" he says, "I hope I can disappear"

And fly fly away, from this dirty boulevard

I want to fly, from dirty boulevard
I want to fly, fro
