On NOW (MSNBC)...it was brought up, that if Ryan's Medicare is SO good for all UNDER 55 years old...

Then why wouldn't you want to implement it for ALL, NOW!

OMG! I almost busted a gut laughing because...it's so true. Come on Dems! Hit Herman and little Eddie with THAT question!!!!

Also...Lizz Winstead had a fabulous point about how much money now, it was costing her family to supplement Medicare
costs for her mom. She made the super point that if it is costing family extra money now, what kind of a disaster (my word)
will it be in the future, when seniors may need to pay up to an additional $6000 per year!

Great questions and I wish the Obama campaign would start taking about those.

She's the first one I heard it from.

It's a real muther of a question that leaves the GOPer spewing talking points just sputtering because there's no good explanation.

Why blow your whole wad now when most of the electorate is enjoying the rest of the summer and many are on vacation (and not paying attention)?

This is why Mittwitt and LyinRyan are left whining about how mean Obama is and playing the wedge issues card.
