Back when George W. Bush was on the campaign trail for a second term in the White House in 2003, he went on to heap praise on Congress for approving a Medicare prescription drug benefit overhaul that he was 100 percent behind. The Democratic Party had been shaking their fists at the overhaul, trying to say that the GOP wanted to try and kill the publicly funded health care program for senior citizens. However, Bush was very clear when he called out his political opponents over this false charge.
“They used to call Medicare ‘Mediscare’ for people in the political process,” Bush stated during a visit to a hospital in the nation’s capital. “Some said Medicare reform can never be done. We’re acting. We acted on principle in Washington, D.C.”
And that wasn’t the first time this false claim was made. The exact same thing happened back when Bush was running against former Vice President Al Gore in 2000.
Bush said, “The man’s running on Mediscare — trying to frighten people to the voting booth.”
So it seems accusing Republicans of wanting to kill Medicare is a tactic that has been employed by radical leftists for quite some time. Scare the crap out of the voters by making claims that those on the other side of the political spectrum want to get rid of the programs and things that group of voters likes.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
