Democrats launch campaigns by blowing up GOP Medicare plan

[Elmore Furth]

It's time to give the devil his due.

Democratic House candidates across the country are signaling a desire to make the GOP’s plan for Medicare reform a real issue — early and often — in the 2012 election.

From California to New Hampshire, Democrats are launching their campaigns with a united message on Medicare and hoping it will pay off next year.

That message? “Your Republican member of Congress voted to end Medicare as we know it, and it’s time for someone new.”

People tend to be pretty passionate about entitlement programs, and Democrats are banking on them continuing to be strongly against the GOP plan next year.

4. If Democrats stand firm, it will remain an issue.

Don't they know how pissed off people are?

On our side, they are pissed, thinking Obama will cave.

On the other side, they are pissed, thinking that their repubbie Senators and Congressmen will sell out their Medicare and Social Security.

Can't any of these idiots figure out anything? What will it take?

5. People are really annoyed at the Republicans on Medicare
