Hey, Mack, tell me another one.

While I live in Miami, I don't know much about Florida politics. I know that Allen West is a mental case and Governor Scott is a Martian. But other than that, not much. This morning there was a Congressmen on CNN with Soledad O'Brien: Connie Mack. A nice-looking liar. It's sad to see a grown man transparently lying through his teeth. When Soledad mentioned that people are concerned about the Republicans plans for Medicare, he, like all Republicans, changed the subject. He pointed out that Obama took 178 billion out of Medicare and put it into the so-called Obamacare. Like all Republican liars he said that Floridians don't want Obamacare. Interesting that they don't want good health care, protection for preexisting conditions, a safety net that will protect their finances if they get sick. They don't want that? Also he didn't mention, of course, that the $178 million in cuts was mostly administrative and did not affect member benefits. His biggest lie was that he said the people of Florida, for the most part, ask him to fix the Medicare problem. What a crock! Can you imagine Florida's northern crackers making such a request?  What makes toadies like Mack so willing to lie and embarrass themselves with scenarios that ring so false and make them look so pathetic?  Poor lemming.
