   Hey, Ratboy better review the tone of your responses and try not to be too grumpy, or worse a bigger hypocrite

   As to your question, did they??

   Yeah sure! So did many other anchors, even the same comments were made on Fox News, they made the same links and comparisons, to Palin and Bachman, maybe it just makes you feel better this evening to take a tiny ineffective swipe at msnbc. who knows?

   Your post is all over the place scrambling for far extreme silly stories that really are not important nor accurate.

   There was a guy that had a bag of Palin Bachman, Chick Fil A, holocaust, Limbaugh, Chris Mathews, Joan, Slime blaa blaa blaaaa!!!

   Can’t we all just get along?

   @@@@@Sicilian Papa

   Thanks for your honest comments.

   It seeems to me that Mitt and Paul did not go over (spend enough time) their game plan as well as they should have. One wants to say one thing and the other one wants to say something else.

   Maybe they will come together by the end of the republican convention. If not; President B.O. has it in the bag. The president and his team will hammer Mitt with Medicare and his taxes. Mitt and Paul will be in a continuous state of disorder.

   A better explanation for msnbc numbers is that people were still trying to tune into the olympics not knowing they were over, and couldnt believe what liberal nuts were on this network.

   I disagree, wow, what a shocker. Obamacare takes 719 bil. out of Medicare to fund Obamacare. That is a powerful ad. The president says he is putting that money back in through Obamacare but Romney and Ryan make the point that the money will be used for Medicaid.

   Ryan has his own issues with how he will restructure Medicare but he does not touch current Seniors. Romney won’t go for the 55 age for the changes and he will let that be known.

   How much of this information is true? I don’t know your guess is as good as mine. I have reading about it but you never know if what your reading is fact.

    If Erin gets canned at CNN I would like to ask her to marry me. I’m pretty old but if I can scrape together a few million dollars she might say yes.

    You do realize that Obamacare provides better benefits to seniors then Medicare and has the added bonus that also cuts some wasteful spending. Ironic that the fiscally responsible Republicans have issues against cutting wasteful spending all of a sudden(call it fake outrage)

    Fox and MSNBC good nights.

    *I still can’t believe the MSM isn’t covering this (Ammo Buy)

    I have to admit I am stumped by this one. I can’t even get info from fellow reporters, there is a lid and I mean a tight lid on this. It could be as simple as a backup plan when the Iran war hits, or it could be something more serious.

    Usn? Do you ever remember a time when a number of different government agencies spread out a weapons buy? A Weather and Social Security? Fpr crying out loud, this one just doesn’t hold water, Maybe it’s a decoy to Iran?

    And you believe that Mark? Of course, the Government would never lie. Why pull the money out in the first place just add all the extra benefits to Medicare.

    I watched a young woman at an Obama rally four years ago say, My grandma had an operation and it added years to her life. Obama responded that in those circumstances sometimes it is better to give someone a pill. No filter I saw the exchange live on CNN.

    McCain refused to make an ad using the sound bite. Bad move it sounds like Obama would have rather given Grandma a pill. Palin said death panels and the media went nuts.

    Mark, Matthew, TheBoss1

    You guys are smart and you know a lot about numbers and policy. President Obama made that one comment to that woman and it told me what he wanted to do with old people.

    Hannity, Limbuagh, and Ingraham played the clip but the Lib. media ignored it totally. If they played that clip everyday for a month seniors would have flocked to the polls to vote for McCain.

    If McCain had said that the lib. media would have hung him with it.

    @Papa

    It’s hard to believe the party whose opinion on Medicare changes like the weather. The talking points may sounds nice but they contradict stuff that they just said a few months ago. You honestly believe the Republicans aren’t lieing when it comes to Medicare. One minute they want to turn it into a voucher program, the next they act all high and mighty like they somehow the saviors of Medicare. All I say to the Republicans is pick a side and stick to it, else they look like a bunch of flip floppers.

    As a so called fiscal Republican aren’t you upset that they backtracked on trying to fix the system(and all the costs)? they have given no plan what they are going to do other then they won’t touch it

    ALL

    Try to catch all of these politicians in their own words. It will tell you what you need to know about them. You may catch one small thing like Obama telling that woman that grandma should take a pill. It tells you more about that person than all the pundits and articles you could read in a month.

    All the Romney/Ryan ticket is trying to do is muddy the waters when it comes to Medicare, thankfully video footage doesn’t lie how they truly feel

    You make a good point they will have to do something in the near future to address the cost. It is a hard thing for all of us because most of us have seniors in our life and want the best for them.

    I am not saying the Repubs. have a good answer but they do have some kind of a plan. I would like to see the changes start with people around 42. They would still have 20 years to adjust to a different and less generous program.

    I never heard Romney or Ryan tell grandma to take a pill rather than have a needed procedure.
