3. The last cry of the old, ugly, racist white folk. |

I see a lady in a wheel chair. Are we paying for her health care? WTF is she doing there? I see a lot of disabled people at these marches, drawing disability from our hard earned taxes. I see a lot of retirees, too. If it weren't for Social Security, I doubt they would have anything left to live on as most people don't invest all that wisely. They didn't pay even close to what we younger ones are paying in now in Federal taxes, Medicare and Social security, yet they would deny those that come after them the same benefits they are enjoying. They don't want the people who are breaking their backs to ensure they get their govmint checks every month to have affordable health care. They have no compassion or mercy on those who are unable to work or feed their families on minimum wage and who have to watch their child get sick with no hope of health care, because it's out of their reach. Fuck them. I have no use for their ilk.

then they're either ingrates or fools... possibly both.
Most of us who are on Social Security and Medicare and still have a brain to understand what it is exactly, aren't down there and we back some kind of health care for all.

10. I'm an old white woman |
|
who doesn't understand why there would be any old white people demonstrating. Social Security has helped so many people over the years who would otherwise have nothing. Again, I just don't understand these people. The people they are demonstrating with want to get rid of social security and medicare. It just defies logic. I pray for President Obama every day. I just wish he would be a little less "bi-partisan" with the republicans. They don't want to work with the Pres nor with the democrats in congress.

4. What else are they going to say? |
|
"Some of these demonstrators are almost as ugly as Candy Crowley"?

O puleeze. It was a bunch of white rednecks. There was no diversity whatsoever. Unless you count income.
