Breaking New Ground in Chutzpah Politics:
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan intend to end Medicare, replacing it with a private voucher scheme. So, naturally, the first campaign commercial from the Republican ticket since the weekend’s announcement is an attack ad going after President Obama on … Medicare
In this painfully ridiculous spot, the voiceover tells voters Obama “cut $716 billion dollars from Medicare … to pay for Obamacare.” The ad goes on to say, “So now the money you paid for your guaranteed healthcare is going to a massive new government program that’s not for you.”
What’s remarkable is just how spectacularly dishonest Romney is. It’s like he heard about an award that goes to the lyingest liar who ever lied in the history of liars, and Romney’s so eager to win the award that he’s becoming a parody of himself.

Medicare vs. RyanCare: Seniors Pay Twice Under the Republican Plan: See How Much In Your State
Well it looks like Palin’s death panels may actually come true.
The most interesting thing to come out of Paul Ryan’s budget-reboot speech today is that he’s toning down the debt-hysteria angle and returning to his supply-side roots. The speech is full of lamentations about class warfare…
Of course Ryan gave a speech filled with “lamentations about class warfare;” he’s trying to deflect attention from the fact that it is his party and his budget that is actually waging that warfare. — Ryking
