Few states can claim to be as uniformly conservative as Utah, where many Mormon residents consider Mitt Romney a native son. (Romney claimed a whopping 90 percent of the GOP primary vote here.) But even Utahans appear to be deeply worried about the impact of proposals by Romney and his running mate Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) to make deep cuts in Medicare and Medicaid.Last Thursday night, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) was in Salt Lake City to campaign for Mia Love, the African-American mayor of Saratoga Springs and tea party darling who's trying to knock off the state's only Democratic House member, Jim Matheson. At an open-air amphitheater in West Valley City McCain and Love held a town hall meeting attended by about 250 people. There they were peppered with questions by people who identified themselves as loyal Republicans but were seriously concerned that the Romney-Ryan proposals would make life harder for them. Ironically, Love and McCain attempted to quell their supporters' concerns by offering up proposals that have already been implemented—by President Barack Obama.
do republicans listen to any channel other than Fox do the read any poll other than Rasmussen, do they not by now realize the lies they tell have an archive of truth not what they they try to substitute for it.
Another woman, Jessica Kerr, the mother of a child with autism, said, "I know you say we’ve got to cut, cut, cut. I'm concerned with the cuts to the disabled and Medicare and Medicaid." Kerr, who identified herself as a loyal Republican, told the story of being on a waiting list now for four years to get medical assistance for her disabled child and finding her concerns falling on deaf ears of the state legislators.
Love, who has supported the Ryan plan to cut $1.5 trillion out of the Medicaid budget over the next decade and drop between 14 and 27 million people from the program, responded, "Anyone who has said to you or anyone else that I'm going to pull the rug out from under you…is absolutely lying to you."
they ignore stories like this in favor of their own agenda to make it all look so bad that when they try to lay it at the Pres.'s feet, their lies become loud and offensively clear to those who would support, and you have to believe those who impose know as well.
