WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama's senior campaign adviser David Axelrod says the Medicare changes supported by Rep. Paul Ryan, the likely Republican vice presidential candidate, would put the popular health-care plan for the elderly in "a death spiral."

Axelrod said on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday that Obama thinks Ryan is a friendly and intelligent man, but he disagrees with his ideas on the direction of government.

Obama is putting the American Dream of a better life into a “death spiral.”

And speaking of deaths, chronic long-term unemployment — the most tangible impact of Obama economic policies — has led to a spike in suicides.

Axelrod is a typical Stalinist. He lies about what he intends to do by accusing the opposition of doing it. Obama is already stuffing Medicare into the coffin to pay for Obamacare. The elderly can look forward to having bureaucrats dictate their worthiness for treatment. Even so, a great many of them will vote for Obama and his new Soviet Utopia of America. As my grandmother used to say, there is no fool like an old fool. There must be something to that, since the Democrats have been playing old people for fools for decades, running the same old scam.

NO KIDDING? Guess that is because Ryan is not a socialist!

Do you think, Mister A-holerod, that Romney will slash Medicare like Obama did?

This morning, Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter appeared on Face The Nation, where she discussed Obamacare’s $700 billion cuts to Medicare. She touted those cuts as an “achievement”.

True! And the Dems have campaigned accusing Repubs of ending Medicare since thirty minutes after LBJ signed it into law.

And this is the primary reason, IMO, why the Dems politicians have pushed for universal healthcare, aka Obamacare, since whenever. The Dem leadership will make EVERY election about healthcare- Dems want to give more and Repubs want to take it away.

It will be difficult for the Republicans to explain the situation in simple words for the sheeple to understand. The Republicans need to use short phrases in simple terms. For example:

Obamacare looted $500 billion from Medicare. Because of that, Grandma will die.

This is the “Big Lie” and the GOP campaign needs to debunk it thoroughly completely and constantly

Paul Ryan needs to be in front of many many townhalls and conferences with seniors to address the democrat big lie

With back-up by Newt and Chris Christie- the straight talkers who excel at putting down the BIG LIE

And pound home the $500 BILLION MEDICARE cut in Obamacare

Axelrod = Hitler wannabe = MIND GAMES

And...someone needs to tell him to wash his ‘comb over’. The Left are poking fun at Paul Ryan’s hair and not a single word about lil Hitler’s comb over....LOL.
