A toxic political strategy is spreading across the land, one that involves Medicare. It threatens to bamboozle voters and allow the 2012 election to turn on a lie.
Democrats are making the obscenely false claim that they will "save Medicare as we've known it."

Seniors are being forced to sacrifice to pay for this.”
They really need to hammer away at this issue, and put the Dems back on the defensive.

we better stop this..and ditch Obamacare before we see a real tragedy
