Democrats to demonize Paul Ryan the way they have Bush and Palin
Image via WikipediaSenate Democrats are pouncing on Rep. Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) role in delivering the Republican response to the State of the Union address to make the case that Republicans are intent on destroying Social Security and Medicare.Democrats know they can't win a debate with Ryan on the merits of his arguments so they have decided to demonize him in an effort to discredit his message. It is how they have survived with a bad argument for the last couple of decades and Ryan is just the latest in a series of Republicans who have gotten the "treatment." The did with Newt Gingrich, George Bush and Sarah Palin and now they are doing it with Paul Ryan. The media should stop going along with this deceitful process.
Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), the master political strategist for Senate Democrats, wants to turn Ryan into a bogeyman that voters think about whenever they hear about a Republican proposal to cut federal spending.
Schumer's strategy reflects an effort to revitalize a party messaging operation that many Democrats say fell apart after Obama won the White House. Senate Democrats face a daunting political map in 2012 and are looking to launch early, coordinated attacks on Speaker John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) new majority.
Schumer’s strategy is to highlight the link between GOP efforts to cut as much as $50 billion from the federal budget and a “roadmap” to create private accounts for Social Security and Medicare that Ryan created.
“This is an initial volley in a three-day effort — 72-hour window — to try to muddle Paul Ryan’s foray onto the national scene,” said a senior Senate Democratic aide. “We want to make the House Republicans or Republicans at large own his roadmap and what it would entail for Social Security.”

Democrats are on a mad dog offensive to mask their own irresponsibility on Social Security and Medicare.
In the new age of "civility" (supposedly a result of a Tuscon shooting that had nothing to do with politicl speech), the dumbocrats are demonizing Paul Ryan for the content of a speech that has not yet been delivered and about which they do not know anything. The one thing that is true about dumbocrats is that they are consistent--they lie with authority regarding subjects about which they have no facts, and they never let facts interfere with the propaganda they are spouting.
