Democrat hatred knows no bounds

Take what happened at the Iowa state fair yesterday: Just two days after Romney put the House Budget Committee chairman on the ticket, hecklers tried to shout Ryan down, even rushing the stage where he was speaking and reportedly punching a backer.
So much for civilized discourse.
But the attackers were one with the Team Obama message: Demonize. And distort.
Ryan’s plan “would end Medicare as we know it,” Obama campaign boss Jim Messina claimed.
Democratic Party Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said Romney would force seniors to “choose between Medicare and meals.” Sen. Claire McCaskill claimed the Ryan plan would “blow up” Medicare.
It’s all nonsense, of course.
In truth, it’s the Democrats who’ve already passed $741 billion in Medicare cuts, via ObamaCare (and spent it elsewhere).
Plus, Ryan’s plan wouldn’t even affect anyone over 55. And a voucher system he proposed, the primary focus of Democrats’ assaults, would be just one option.
Now, folks can quibble over the specifics of his reforms, but no one — Democrat or Republican — can disagree that they represent the most serious attempt in years to prevent Medicare’s collapse — which is financially inevitable, absent reform.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Caveat: I am not a representative of either Romney or Ryan, but I believe both to be honorable men and I don't like to see them treated as trash by actual trash.
The Democrat's scorched earth policies have killed civil discourse within politics, and actually within the country as a whole. I don't want any scorched earth politics, and I want no lying politics. I'm tired of the name calling that is done in an attempt to destroy another human's life.

+7As the election gets closer and Obama's numbers continue to slide, I expect things like this to get worse.
Team Obama is already running ads in Florida raking him over the coals for his Death to Medicare plan. If there is one thing the silver hairs in Florida want to protect, it is Medicare. Ryan can expect more boos as the days wear on. My guess is Romney will have to do what McCain was forced to do with that bimbo Palin... have goons standing there to guard her .
