Do You Really Want To Hurt Me -- Culture Club
Week after week, the same people. And truly, this week is no different. It wouldn't be so bad if there was a way to get some real questions answered. Wouldn't you just love to have a person in their 50s ask Paul Ryan on Face the Nation, "Do you really want to hurt me?" by eliminating Medicare? Or a pregnant woman to Rick Santorum on Meet the Press, "Do you really want to make me cry" and force her to carry a baby that is risking her life? Or ask Tim Pawlenty on Fox News Sunday why we should support his more draconian-than-Ryan fiscal plan when he left the state of Minnesota in such terrible shape economically? That's what I really want to see. These politicians being forced to answer for the consequences of their platforms. Instead, I fear that the only holding accountable and consequences we'll see will be the cowering Democrats like the DNC's Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Meet the Press siding with the RNC's Reince Preibus that Anthony Weiner should resign from Congress. *sigh*
