Senate Democrats are pouncing on Rep. Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) role in delivering the Republican response to the State of the Union address to make the case that Republicans are intent on destroying Social Security and Medicare.

Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), the master political strategist for Senate Democrats, wants to turn Ryan into a bogeyman that voters think about whenever they hear about a Republican proposal to cut federal spending.

Schumer’s strategy is to highlight the link between GOP efforts to cut as much as $50 billion from the federal budget and a “roadmap” to create private accounts for Social Security and Medicare that Ryan created.

Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Bernie Sanders (Vt.), an Independent who caucuses with Democrats, organized a conference call on Monday afternoon to press Boehner to explain his support for Ryan’s roadmap for curbing the costs of Social Security and Medicare.
