Weiner’s exact quote on the floor:

“You gotta love these Republicans. I mean, you guys have chutzpah. The Republican Party is a wholly owned subsidiary of insurance companies.”

Ah, much better.

And, this...



I suppose America would never have existed without the promise of Medicare and Social Security. Remember, Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Lincoln, all were on Medicare and had Social Security.

This little LeftLibProgg is simply offering Other People's Money in exchange for votes. Looters attracting moochers.

Sweat it, you little bitch.
