Horrible… DNC Chair Wasserman Schultz: Mitt Romney Will Force Seniors Out of Nursing Homes

(Portsmouth Patch)

It’s come to this…
DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz told Democrats in New Hampshire that Mitt Romney will force seniors out of nursing homes.
Really, Debbie?
Fosters reported:

Mitt Romney will force seniors out of nursing homes and “out into the cold” if he’s elected president, the head of the Democratic National Committee warned voters in Portsmouth Friday.

Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz toured the Granite State Friday to draw attention to how the 2012 presidential race will influence the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Monday marks the 47th anniversary of the establishment of Medicare, according to President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign.

In a short speech at Obama’s campaign office at 125 Brewery Lane, Wasserman Schultz warned supporters that Romney “and his Tea Party extremist allies” are planning to strip seniors of safety net benefits provided through the Medicare program.

Schultz said Romney endorses the GOP budget crafted by Congressman Paul Ryan, which would “end Medicare as we know it” by converting the program into a voucher system. The change would cost the average senior an extra $6,300 in annual Medicare premiums, she claimed.

Republicans are also striving to convert Medicaid into a block grant program, she said. As a result, seniors who rely on Medicaid benefits to pay for nursing home care will no longer be able to afford their bills.

Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz says “Romney will force seniors out of nursing homes” and at the same time says “Romney endorses the GOP budget” which would “end Medicare as we know it”

Uhh, Ms Shultz, Medicare does not cover nursing home care.

This is the oldest trick in the Dems playbook!! They must have an exclusive patent on this . Because they are the only ones to make such an outrageous claim. Obviously they are scared and are in fear of keeping their job.

Don’t they know that the Repubs have relatives in nursing homes too?

It sure is fun watching DWS digging a grave.

She and the rest of the Democrats are loathsome. If we had some real journalists instead of Obama cheerleader hacks, she wouldn’t be able to get away with these outright lies. I am more disgusted by the day. Please November, get here soon. We need to vote them all out.

I just was watching the Olympics ((;30 PM ET Sun 7/29) when his highness Barky came on and told “us” that the election will be about 2 different visions — Romney’s (who’ll give tax breaks to the rich) and Barky’s who has shown that his way has worked! (I was not paying attention early in the ad because I thought Barky said that this was yh Olympics, a time to come together, and not a time of politics. Apparantly I was wrong.)

I am so disgusted that this A-hole used the Olympics to launch such a lying attack. Disgusted, but not surprised.

How’s that GNP Barky? How’s the unemployment rate under your watch Barky? Not going above 8 % right Barky? Esp. w/ shovel ready jobs, right Barky?

Hoping Roney team has a response.

I’ve convinced myself, because of this statement, and other delusional statements she’s made, Wasserman Schultz needs a serious Psychiatric Evaluation.

Yet the left denies fear- mongering and blames us for it. Here is a classic example of their lies.

I'm not a Racist; I don't like Biden or Pelosi either commented:

If people are stupid enough to believe that any party wants to put seniors out on the street (or whatever she’s implying), then they deserve another 4 years of Debbie and Obama.

In point of fact, of course, when Obama is finished destroying the economy, EVERYBODY will be out living on the street.

I kind of find it hard to believe that the American political class, especially Democrats, couldn’t get any worse, and then people like this Wasserman-Schultz idiot (Obie is in that class as well) comes along and dashes that notion all to hell.

As opposed to Obamacare which will just pull the plug before they even get to a nursing home. Oh yeah, that’s much better.
