Pick Your Paragraph

Choose carefully, readers:

"Democrats will replace Republicans as the party of “no.’’

Obama will use his veto....   Much of the government spending has been politically untouchable. About 60 percent goes for entitlement programs, including Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.  

What a lie when half of the $1.5 trillion in spending is to the Pentagon.

Then why did we smash them to smithereens?

Both parties have considered it politically foolish to mess with Medicare and Social Security.

The [Pakistan Peoples Party] government will be sandwiched between the US and IMF on one side and the opposition parties on the other.’’

“She made the astonishing statement to me that she was more fearful of our own soldiers than she was of the enemy’’

Of course, a government that lies to its heroes would never lie to you would it, Americans?
