 merrie says: Mr. Owens also indicated during his campaign that he was firmly opposed to cutting Medicare benefits, taxing health care benefits, and increased taxes on the middle class in any way as you can see clearly in the screenshot taken directly from Mr. Owens' campaign website. http://www.gouverneurtimes.com/images/stories/2009/11/06/oewns-screenshot.jpg The House Health reform bill contains sections that cut Medicare benefits, tax existing health care benefits, and increases taxes on the middle class, yet Mr. Owens stated today that he will now vote in favor of those things contrary to what he had promised the voters of NY's 23rd Congressional District that he would vote against. Mr. Owens indicated in his press release today that "This legislation will reform the insurance industry and provide increased access to affordable healthcare without taxing healthcare benefits, cutting Medicare benefits or raising taxes on the middle class, and that is exactly the direction..... . . we need to go.” When The Gouverneur Times attempted to contact Mr. Owens to clarify this information, we received no direct response to our phone or email inquiries. Both FactCheck.org and the Congressional Budget Office agree that HR 3962 contains potentially hundreds of billions of dollars in planned cuts to Medicare, yet Mr. Owens indicates that he supports this legislation and says that it does not cut Medicare benefits. Either Mr. Owens has been snowed or the public is about to be. HR 3962 also includes a range of various taxes on middle-class families as well as language to repeal tax relief already in place. Has Congressman Owens blindly followed Ms. Pelosi’s rhetoric in believi... Well he had to lie for the good of his district. People wouldn't support him if he was honest, so it's OK to lie. Ever notice how conservative the Leftists act during campaigns? You'd think they were Rockefeller Republicans. On the other hand, those on the Right are a lot more straightforward. Liberalism just doesn't sell, but their blatant lies tell a lot about the condescending attitude toward the proleteriat, er, voters. Why is anyone surprised. A leopard can not change its spots and a demonic rat will always be a demonic rat. It is becoming evermore apparent that the democrat election machine is overrun by lies, manipulations, deception and fraud. I believe they believe that their political machine is so well oiled that they can do whatever they want and still have the mechanism in place to get elected time and time again. After all their ABSENTEE BALLOT initiative is able to count dead people. TIME for a clean sweep me thinks. |
