Does supporting legislation that could force seniors in our state to pay more than double for their health care make one a "guardian of seniors"? Pete Sessions and his 60-Plus Association friends must think we're stupid enough to believe that.

I do not find funny Pete Sessions' latest claim to be a guardian of senior citizens' interest.
The same Pete Sessions who seemingly couldn't say enough good things about the financially and morally irresponsible Ryan bill he so enthusiastically supports, now wants folks to think he is something he has shown clearly that he isn't.
The same Pete Sessions who voted to gut Medicare in favor of a voucher system that will cost seniors well more than twice what they currently pay for traditional Medicare, is now showing a picture on his taxpayer-supported web site claiming to be a "guardian of seniors' rights." If he is a guardian of seniors' rights, Al Capone was the greatest champion of law and order of all time.
Does he really think seniors (or seniors-to-be like me) think we're going to fall for his con and then claim that the shady "60-plus association" represents seniors? If he really thinks so, he really must think we're dumber than first graders.
