The President must hammer home the truth about the 716 billion medicare lie. The rethugs

[mfcorey1]

are painting themselves as the saviors of medicare. Unreal! Every speech needs a chart and the truth.

[Skittles]

1. repukes have a lot of people believing it

my own aunt believes it

[Freddie]

3. We have to come out with the truth on that one

Loud and often, because I'm seeing that lie constantly and people are buying it.

[TomCADem]

9. The Corporate Media Simply Ignores The Fact, But If A Democrat...

...Like Harry Reid says something slightly controversial, the corporate media swarms him.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

2. Republicans should be called out over Medicare

they want to get rid of it. Simple message to the voters. No Medicare if R$R are elected

4. Here is a good primer on that:

On the social spending, Obama has been very much the steady hand on the tiller, focusing on efficient management and good-government policies.

In contrast, the republicans in this election, both Romney and Ryan, are much more radical social engineers than the GOP has ever run before. It still eludes me how in the world they expect to sell such extreme measures to "conservatives", unless US conservatives are just fundamentally nuts anyway...

5. Limbaugh was pushing talking points today

He said the Ryan plan doesn't cut SS at all. He says only Obama does.

6. They need to get the VOUCHERCARE ads up RIGHT NOW !

7. I am wondering if that may have been their strategy from the

very beginning. My Rethug Congressman has been pushing that lie nearly every week on telephone conference calls for almost two years. It was the lie about Medicare cuts, Obamacare and death panels that won the 2010 Teabagger landslide.
There are many people that believe it.

8. The President and the rest of us need to hammer home that if R&R repeal Obamacare, under which no

one can be denied insurance because of preexisting conditions, and then change it to Vouchercare it won't matter how much that voucher amounts to they will be denied insurance because most people up in age have a preexisting condition. The Republican dream is that old people will have to use their life savings to pay for their medical expenses and then there goes their children's inheritance. This will affect young and old so people better THINK before they vote, and vote like their life depends on it because it does. And we know they want to turn soc sec over to Wall St and we know what will happen then - "oops, we lost it".
