Annonymous letter writer from Montana cuts RINO Alan Simpson down to size.

Every once in awhile you come across a piece of writing that is so eloquently written and yet so bluntly spoken that you feel it must be passed along. What follows is just one sort of letter. The letter writer is anonymous and the only thing known is that he or she comes from out West in the Big Sky Country of Montana, a place where individualism still lives strong.

Alan K. Simpson is an ex-U.S. Senator from Wyoming who happens to be one of those RINO-type Republicans that Obama likes so much. Simpson made some scurrilous comments about retired people on Social Security in an email to Ashley Carson, executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based Older Women's League. When his remarks were made public they blew up in his face.

Wyoming is right next door to Montana so Mr. Simpson is probably not well liked there either. Here is the letter commenting on Simpson's remarks.
Alan Simpson, ex-Senator from Wyoming, Co-Chair of Obama's deficit commission, calls senior citizens the Greediest Generation as he compared "Social Security" to a Milk Cow with 310 million teats. August, 2010.

Here’s a response in a letter from an unknown fellow in Montana…

“Hey Alan, let’s get a few things straight…

1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole for FIFTY YEARS.

2. I have been paying Social Security taxes for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63).

3. My Social Security payments, and those of millions of other Americans, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid the account and give OUR money to a bunch of zero ambition losers in return for votes, thus bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme that would have made Bernie Madoff proud.

4. Recently, just like Lucy & Charlie Brown, you and your ilk pulled the proverbial football away from millions of American seniors nearing retirement and moved the goalposts for full retirement from age 65 to age 67. NOW, you and your shill commission are proposing to move the goalposts YET AGAIN.

5. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying into Medicare from Day One, and now you morons propose to change the rules of the game. Why? Because you idiots mismanaged other parts of the economy to such an extent that you need to steal money from Medicare to pay the bills.

6. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying income taxes our entire lives, and now you propose to increase our taxes yet again. Why? Because you incompetent bastards spent our money so profligately that you just kept on spending even after you ran out of money. Now, you come to the American taxpayers and say you need more to pay off YOUR debt.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To add insult to injury, you label us “greedy” for calling “bullshit” on your incompetence. Well, Captain Bullshit, I have a few questions for YOU.

1. How much money have you earned from the American taxpayers during your pathetic 50-year political career?

2. At what age did you retire from your pathetic political career, and how much are you receiving in annual retirement benefits from the American taxpayers?

3. How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance?

4. What cuts in YOUR retirement and healthcare benefits are you proposing in your disgusting deficit reduction proposal, or, as usual, have you exempted yourself and your political cronies?

It is you, Captain Bullshit, and your political co-conspirators who are “greedy”. It is you and they who have bankrupted America and stolen the American dream from millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers. And for what? Votes. That’s right, sir. You and yours have bankrupted America for the sole purpose of advancing your pathetic political careers. You know it, we know it, and you know that we know it.

And you can take that to the bank, you miserable son of a bitch.”
Epilogue: Like I said, Barack Hussein Obama and his leftist Democrats love to have RINOs around to help them with their dirty work. Here is the outcome of this story from The Star Tribune
Ex-Wyoming senator Simpson remains on deficit commission after controversial Social Security remarks

CHEYENNE -- Former U.S. Sen. Al Simpson, R-Wyo., will remain as co-chair of President Obama's deficit commission despite controversial comments he made to a critic saying Social Security is "like a milk cow with 310 million tits."

Simpson apologized Thursday for the comments, which he sent in an e-mail on Monday to Ashley Carson, executive director of the Washington D.C.-based Older Women's League.

But several women's groups and opponents to any changes to Social Security are still calling for his resignation from the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility, a bipartisan panel created by Obama in February to find ways to reduce the national debt.

The 16-member panel is considering, among other potential solutions, recommending cuts to Social Security benefits and raising the retirement age to help reduce the nation's $1.4 trillion deficit.

Simpson wrote Carson in response to an online article she wrote in April accusing him of "ageism and sexism."

"If you have some better suggestions about how to stabilize Social Security instead of just babbling into the vapors, let me know," Simpson wrote. "Call me when you get honest work."

Simpson's comments quickly brought an outcry from groups ranging from the National Organization for Women to the AARP. Several members of Congress have called on Obama to remove Simpson from the commission.

"The ugliness of his disrespect for women is matched only by his dogged determination to dismantle Social Security by cutting benefits or increasing the retirement age," National Organization for Women President Terry O'Neill said in a media release. "If Simpson does not have the decency to resign, then President Obama should relieve him of his duties."

On Thursday, Simpson e-mailed Carson to apologize.

"Over the last 40 years, I have had my size 15 feet in my mouth a time or two," he wrote in the e-mail. "To quote my old friend and colleague, Senator Lloyd Bentsen, when I make a mistake, 'It's a doozy!'"

Simpson did not return a phone call Thursday seeking comment.

Carson responded that while she appreciated Simpson's apology, she still believes he should resign.

"This is much more than a 'foot in your mouth' situation," she wrote in an online statement Thursday. "Mr. Simpson has demonstrated a consistent, decades-long pattern of making statements that are offensive to seniors, to women and that are just plain unacceptable in 2010."

Despite the criticism, the White House said Thursday that Simpson will remain as co-chair of the deficit panel, along with former U.S. Sen. Erskine Bowles, D-N.C.

"Alan Simpson has apologized and while we regret and do not condone his comments, we accept his apology and he will continue to serve," said Jennifer Psaki, the White House's deputy communications director, according to the New York Times.

  1. I love this letter ... the editorializing is flawed.

  2. Just goes to show you that they will go to any means to stick it to the people who support their household on a daily basis. These are the people who sustain the Occupy Wall Street gangs!
