Ragin liberal you are my hero!!!! but what does it say underneath Jesus loves you?

[RagingLib]

It says "But I think You're a Cunt." Well not YOU, but a more general Repiglickin "You."

[Silberdachs]

Dick Armey. You couldn't make up a name like that.

All Dick, no army.

[fuckyiuyiu]

What a coincidence that all Republicans are led by DICKS

@xinecallaw You bonehead it was the forced participation he describes as tyranny not the medicare. You are the person taking it to the level calling the program tyranny but it's really just the forced participation of the program he calls tyranny. Again you fail. Your the one with comprehension issues.

You said .. quote,

So, he does consider Medicare Tyranny,

So ..you are the one that considers medicare tyranny, ..not him. He only has a problem with forced participation.

pwned.

@matthias4085 dude, 90% of what Rachel does involves fact finding and reporting on those facts. It seems absurd, but this is primarily because Politicians still have not realized that EVERYTHING you do, say, positions you held on issues, voting record, interviews, speeches, EVERYTHING is now accessible to ANY and can be obtained in minutes. You cant serve bullshit without being caught.

Now, I will agree that she does NOT apply the same dedication to exposing BS from democrats/liberals/ect.

[xinecallaw]

@Chslosers I agree Dick knows shit, like bullshit, dogshit, ect.

[xinecallaw]

@cutwagman Actually, you need to work on your english comprehension skills. At the very begining Dick griped about Medicare being a forced option and it should be something that is given as an option (which I agree with, but its not practical) . Then @ 01:12 Dick then states that forcing a program onto individuals without their say in the matter is "Tyranny". So, he does consider Medicare Tyranny, and social security meets his 'Tyranny' definition too. Sorry, if you are unable to keep up.

[cutwagman]

Medicare is not tyranny but not being able to opt out of a program that has $46 trillion dollars unfunded liability is.

DICK Army NEVER said Medicare is tyranny. Maddow was the one to take it to that level.

Maddow quoted Dick saying he doesn't want to be part of it.

But again he never said Medicare was tyranny.

Shame on you Maddow! Burn in hell for misleading people.

Dick expained himself completely and she can't stand it or allow it.

Calling this radical opinions is a strait up lie.

[Hopeful71]

Yes, yes, I remember fondly back in 2003 when Mr Armey was rallying the public against Medicare D.....wait, what? You don't remember that? Perhaps that is because Dick here actually supported the bill. You know the unfunded pharmaceutical give-away that cost about 90% of "ObamaCare" while actually providing VERY little benefit to Medicare recipients.

I guess its not "socialism' when you simply GIVE money to the wealthy & powerful and get NOTHING in return.

[Wanderlustus]

Tell me that ain't booze in his cup. That last bit about Canada pretty much slams it. "The right to buy private citizens." Knock these monkeys out of the park, my southern cousins.

[Chslosers]

@RagingLib richard armey isn't just some republican hack, he used to be an economics professor, he knows his shit.

[ETericET]

I understand not all americans are this stupid .... What I don't understand is why are all the stupid ones on TV ?

[Rudolph5000]

I don't see her coming up with any compelling arguments despite her pile of notes. Why can't I be a Libertarian Conservative?
