That's what Rep. Armstrong, a repuke from GA, just said on Tweety.

Did Bob Kerrey do anything of a sort? (I can understand Breaux)...

5. Well, obviously it does to the republicans because they are using it in their
pushback. I'd be interested in hearing from Kerrey on this...

3. The desperation is evident. They're trying to find a new way to spin their disaster.
Ryan started it this morning..."It's not a voucher, it's premium support, just like Bill Clinton wanted!" Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit.

4. In 1999 it may have seemed more feasible as we hadn't seen a lot of the explosion in costs yet.
In retrospect it won't work because it's the health care system that is broken.

6. Oh, I agree. There are better ways of doing this...the pubs don't care.
Their real goal is demolition of the welfare state...it's all ideology. They really don't care one bit about Medicare...
