Dem electoral strategy – convince Grandparents to throw Grandchildren off fiscal cliff

There is no more misleading imagery than the ad run by Democrats in which a Paul Ryan-looking figure throws Granny off a cliff due to Medicare cuts: (Ad at link)

The ad has it exactly opposite to reality. Republican proposals would keep Medicare the same for people already in the system or 10 years away from entering the system. Nothing would affect Granny, but restructuring would save Medicare for future generations while easing the national debt burden.
**snip**
Mediscare is an age-old Democratic tactic, but this time it’s different because left as is Medicare goes bankrupt in Granny’s lifetime and bursts a ballooning national debt.

Mediscare no longer is about Granny, it’s about Granny’s grandchildren being saddled with crushing debt.
**snip**
The Democratic Party electoral strategy in 2012 asks Grandparents to do something which is not in the natural order, to throw their grandchildren off a fiscal cliff.

Once grandparents understand what they are being asked to do, they will revolt against the Democrats’ revolting electoral strategy.

What younger person will stand up for the elderly knowing she/he will go on a troublemaker list in the vast health care bureaucracy?

I will. It is better to die with your teeth and claws in the throat of the enemy of the nest, and you get extra points for doing it with a good quip. God has something better for me than this.

(I have a cheesecake for anyone who identifies the source of the first part of my post, beginning with "It is better to die.)

Doorways in the Sand?

Bingo. Address to send your cheesecake? (You’d have to trust me ...)

Or you can settle for Praise!

“What grandma and grandpa are hearing from the AARP, the mainstream media, and Democrat politicians is that everything is wonderful and the evil Republicans are conspiring to take their earned benefits away and give the money to the rich.”

They’ll need to work harder on that one.

AARP FL seniors-Boomer poll: Romney 46%-Obama 44%

Well, get yourself a piece of cheesecake, and go read Doorways in the Sand again. It’s a good story.

““Traditional” societies have favored of the continued education of the youth by the elderly’s experience shared, but the bling bling “MArxist miracle” is supposedly free and can do away with that. Of course, that is not true, because it destroys all manners of passing on anything of value, and the bling bling is slavery and a prostitution business.”

The fourth and fifth generation of welfare dependents residing in the public housing of any major US city is proof of your statement. The elderly in the ghetto culture are passing nothing of value to the youth.
