Morning Plum: Republicans double down on another Big Lie about ObamacareBy Greg Sargent at the Washington Post

"SNIP.....................................
Its official: The GOPs big lie about the CBO report that it said the law will kill 2 million jobs is now the new Obama gutted Medicare to pay for Obamacare.
The claim about the CBO report which has been widely debunked by fact checkers has now found its way into its first ad against an incumbent Democratic Senator. Heres the spot hitting Senator Kay Hagan of North Carolina, paid for by her opponent, GOP Rep. Thom Tillis:
....
Kay Hagan votes with Barack Obama 96 percent of the time. What will it take to change her mind? How many families will have to lose good health coverage? How many workers will have to lose their jobs? How many people will have to pay for Kay Hagans loyalty to Obama?
As the narrator talks about workers losing their jobs, the ad flashes a padlocked factory on the screen, with the words: Congressional Budget Office estimates 2 million lost jobs do to Obamacare.
