A year or so ago, Paul Ryan revealed his plan to deal with the looming Medicare crisis. His plan improved the financial solvency of Medicare by assuming that future seniors woul get lower benefits.

What did Domocrats do? Did they deny that Medicare is in fiscal trouble? No. Did they offer an alternate way to cut costs? No. They made a commercial showing Ryan pushing an old lady off a cliff. That's as dishonest as it gets, but it worked on you.

We don't need to change our core values. We just need to look for forums where we can have an honest discussion about the merits of what we believe. But Democrats will do anything to avoid that. It's a lot easier to paint Republicans as monsters than it is to explain why reckless spending is healthier than fiscal responsibility.

We don't need to change our core values. Democrats (and the media) need to stop lying about what our core values are, so that an honest debate can ensue. If that ever happens, that's the end of liberalism. Because it's indefensible, and it's demonstrably unproductive.

Exactly, Romney was demonized by the Dems from day one,and went all
the way to the first debate before people could see his qualifications.
Statements by O like, "vote for revenge", showed his true colors.

How about the commercial that said Romney caused the death of a former employee's wife of cancer, and that he doesn't care about cancer victims?

That would be news to his wife Ann, who is a cancer survivor. And Romney stuck by her. Unlike the liberal hero John Edwards, who cheated on his wife when she had cancer. But to liberals, Edwards is a good guy, worthy of being President. But Romney is the monster.

Fly Rod says that Catholics don't care about women's rights. I guess Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, and John Edwards should teach us sexist Catholics how to treat women with respect.

Liberals say that conservatives have waged war on women? Funny. Ted Kennedy is the only politician I know of, with a confirmed kill in the war on women, and I never heard liberals hold him accountable.

But that's just me...

Jim, please don't respond to this nonsense. It will just lead to back and forth stupid stuff, and TDF will have to shut down the thread. Comments like these are not worth the bother.

Agreed!
