Mitch McConnell Speaks Forcefully In Favor Of Socialized Medicine - We Have An Ally!

[TomCADem]

Wow, my head is spinning. While in the same same sentence, Mitch McConnell is denouncing government run healthcare, socialized medicine, increased costs, and having the government between people and their doctors, Mitch McConnell is also denouncing alleged efforts to cut or tear down Medicare.

What? Is there anything coherent coming from the Republican Senate leader? Or, are the GOP talking points internally contradictory?

"Some in Congress seem to be in such a rush to pass just any reform, rather than the right reform, that they're looking everywhere for the money to pay for it, even if it means sticking it to seniors with cuts to Medicare," said Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., in the latest in a series of daily Senate speeches on health care.

McConnell's Republicans, unanimously opposed to Democratic-drafted legislation in the House, are watching warily while three members of their rank-and-file negotiate over a bipartisan plan in the Senate that could hand President Barack Obama a victory on his top domestic priority.

3. So, Dennis Kucinich Agrees With Mitch McConnell's Rants?

Strange, strange world. Also, I have not heard anything stating that we are cutting Medicare benefits to seniors. The only thing on the table is subsidies to private insurers. If there is a direct cut to Medicare benefits, I would like to here about it.
