Republicans and Medicare - NYTimes.com
"Politico suggests that Republicans are in a bit of a bind: they want to cut Medicare — in fact, they’ve always wanted to cut Medicare — but they
funneled millions into TV ads last year accusing Democrats from Pennsylvania to Missouri of “gutting Medicare” and “hurting seniors” — charges that compelled older voters to swing en masse toward the GOP.
I have to say that this was the great scam of the 2010 election. The fact that the party of this (See Attachment) managed to pose as defenders of Medicare was truly awesome, a testament to voters’ (and the news media’s) short memories."
