I see they didn't deny they are using drones.

No conspiracy….just outright lies and deceit. The most radical Rethuglians have found something to run on…. Obama's plan to screw the poor and retirees. Some unhappy news about Medicare and Social Security Graham wants to address the problem now and get entitlement funding in place for generations, and he plans to use a presidential campaign to spread the word. “Republicans have to clean up the tax code and eliminate some deductions for the few at the expense of the many,” he says. “Democrats have to agree to means-test benefits and adjust the age of retirement.” +++++ and just how will Lindsey do this? Graham doesn’t yet have a full blueprint for his entitlement reform plan, but he wants to borrow heavily from the so-called Simpson-Bowles Commission, which in 2010 issued a well-regarded, bipartisan report on how to solve all the big problems related to taxes and spending. Commission leaders Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles released an updated version in 2013. If you’ve never heard of Simpson-Bowles, or simply forgot about it, that’s because the plan would have done all sorts of sensible but deeply unpopular things that maybe three members of Congress would have the guts to vote for right now. The reports were widely praised, then buried. ++++++++ Yup, he wants to use Obama's plan to screw Americans. * Require wealthier seniors to pay for a larger share of their Medicare benefits. * Raise the eligibility age for Medicare from 65 to 67 and cut back on fees paid to healthcare providers. * Raise the eligibility age for Social Security, lower the annual cost-of-living increases and raise the portion of every worker's income subject to the Social Security tax withholding. * Replace the current income tax brackets with three new brackets: 12%, 22% and 28%. Tax investment income at the same rates as labor income. * Cut the top corporate tax rate from 35% to 28%. * Eliminate many tax deductions for both businesses and individuals. * Raise the federal gas tax by 15 cents, to 33.4 cents per gallon.

This is great: "Wal-Mart issued a statement Monday to TPM dismissing “rumors” that tunnels were being built by the U.S. military beneath closed stores in an attempt to launch a takeover of Texas. Tunnels under Walmart are the key to taking over Texas. I like it.

So, there is an allegation by the leftwingers that the rightwingers are idiots after the leftwingers actually wrote Wal-Mart an email to see if they were building tunnels between closed Wal-Mart stores in an effort to take over Texas. Is that what happened?
