Alaska’s Republican Senate Candidate

The Republican candidate for the AK Senate seat, Joe Miller, speaks the truth regarding the Republican agenda and Social Security.

Alaska Republican Senate candidate Joe Miller repeated his view Wednesday that the United States needs to fundamentally rethink Social Security.

“Longer term, there has got to be a move outside of that system,” Miller told CNN’s John King. “Ultimately we want to transfer the power back to the states so that states can take up the mantle of those programs if they so desire.”

Miller previously said that the U.S. should “transition out of the Social Security arrangement.”

King, noting that Miller’s position is something Democrats have pounced on, asked Miller to make himself perfectly clear — that he wouldn’t take away Social Security checks from the people who currently count on them, but that he’d like to do away with the program for future generations. King asked: “Would [a person born the day Miller was sworn in] perhaps grow up in an America where there is not a federal Social Security program if you got your way?”

“Absolutely,” Miller said.

So there you have it.  Say “bye, bye” to Social Security.  Republicans have been trying to dismantle Social Security since its inception.  Having said that, it is also clear that the Republicans want to give tax breaks to the rich at the expense of the middle class.(psst… Toomey wants to dismantle Social Security and protect the rich Wall Street Bankers).

If you believe that the feudal system was the best, then support the Republicans because if they get their way, we will all be serving them for less than minimum wage while they enjoy their lives.   The Republicans dream of returning to the time of lords and serfs.

If you want to save Democracy and save Social Security, then you will vote for Democrats.

If you believe in Economic Patriotism, then you will vote for Democrats.

The PA Congressional District DINO

Yesterday, Representative Tim Holden sided with the Republicans and the Tea Party by voting against the best interests of his constituents.  He voted “NO”, twice, for health care reform.

The historic health care reform bill that just passed the House will immediately provide the following benefits to Pennsylvanians in the 17th Congressional District:

. Improve coverage for 444,000 residents with health insurance.
. Give tax credits and other assistance to up to 168,000 families and 13,000 small businesses to help them afford coverage.
. Improve Medicare for 120,000 beneficiaries, including closing the doughnut hole.
. Extend coverage to 18,500 uninsured residents.
. Guarantee that 7,300 residents with pre-existing conditions can obtain coverage.
. Protect 900 families from bankruptcy due to unaffordable health care costs.
. Allow 47,000 young adults to obtain coverage on their parents’ insurance plans.
. Provide millions of dollars in new funding for 7 community health centers.
. Reduce the cost of uncompensated care for hospitals and other health care providers by $59 million annually.

Democrats, Say “No” to Senator Specter

Last week, the Senate’s newest Democrat, Arlen Specter voted against protecting Pennsylvanians from losing their homes. In other words, he voted “no” on S.896 which would prevent mortgage foreclosures and preserve home values. The banks own Senator Specter because he votes in their best interest and not the best interest of his constituents.

When it comes to health care, Pennsylvanians will be on their own because Senator Specter also stated that he would not support a publicly funded health care plan. What he neglected to say was that he would still be keeping his publicly funded health care plan. Listen to what Senator Specter had to say on “Meet the Press“.

If Senator Specter continues to vote with the Republicans and expects to get the support of the Pennsylvania State Democratic Party, he may be in for a big surprise next year. The Democratic Committee people in Pennsylvania want a REAL Democrat on the ticket and not a DINO.

Arlen Specter only cares about getting re-elected. He will always vote with the Republicans and vote against the best interest of our nation.

And then there is Senator’s view on the Supreme Court.

Remember how Arlen Specter treated Anita Hill.

Listen to Specter’s view on the Republican Party. He misses “Reagan”.

Don’t let Specter’s “switch” fool you. He is still a Republican at heart and he will not be supporting President Obama’s agenda and the American people’s desire for change. It will be the “same old wine, but a brand new bottle” with Specter.

Democrats, say “NO” to Arlen Specter.

UPDATE: Specter first told President Obama that he would be a loyal Democrat and then he denied he said that today on “Meet the Press“.
