From Politifact that named "Lie of the Year" to "Republicans who voted to end Medicare" comes this gem from the article:
"• They used harsh terms such as "end" and "kill" when the program would still exist, although in a privatized system."
Medicare is not a privatized, for profit system that payees have to qualify for. Perhaps Poltifact should be relegated to being a shill for conservative talking points.
It is time to simply tell media outlets that use Politifact to stop using their conservatively biased "fact checking" as being objective.

Obama: A disaster for civil liberties
Obama: A disaster for civil liberties
The choice in 2012 of lesser evils? But what if the President is indistinguishable from his conservative opponents on civil liberties?

’Dismal’ prospects: 1 in 2 Americans are now poor or low income
’Dismal’ prospects: 1 in 2 Americans are now poor or low income
Remember that the "solutions" Republicans offer are the same failed ones that Herbert Hoover did. Their so called policies would turn America into a 1st world Somalia of a subservient federal government to corporations, states rights, and a population that would be ripe for revolution because modern conservatives do not believe in the U.S. Constitution nor in the history of how the founding fathers ideological underpinnings of Enlightenment thought from Italy and Scotland.

Daily Mail: George Bush Cancels Switzerland Trip Over Potential Torture Arrest
Daily Mail: George Bush Cancels Switzerland Trip Over Potential Torture Arrest
Bush needs to be brought to justice. If the USA will not do it then it will be up the community of nations to do it. No matter how long it takes "W" should never be able to leave this nation under threat of arrest for his crimes against humanity.

What should #OWS do?
"Imagine you walked into a bank, applied for a personal line of credit, and filled out all the paperwork claiming to have no debts and an income of $200,000 per year. The bank, based on these representations, extended you the line of credit. Then, three years later, after fighting disclosure all the way, you were forced by a court to tell the truth: At the time you made the statements to the bank, you actually were unemployed, you had a $1 million mortgage on your house on which you had failed to make payments for six months, and you hadn’t paid even the minimum on your credit-card bills for three months. Do you think the bank would just say: Never mind, don’t worry about it? Of course not. Whether or not you had paid back the personal line of credit, three FBI agents would be at your door within hours...."

#OWS movement makes visible the fact that the Wall Street banksters are still walking free and still extorting taxpayer money for their high stakes gambling addiction.
