Geee Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Daily Caller:Democrats haven’t fielded a competitive opponent against Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan in years.But now, as they are trying to paint the rising GOP star as a bogeyman because of his plan to overhaul Medicare, an effort is being made by Democrats to run a serious challenger against him in 2012.Cue Rob Zerban, a Democrat Kenosha County Board supervisor running for the seat, who summed up his campaign message in Milwaukee this weekend: “My opponent not only endorses the plan to end Medicare. He wrote the plan.”In an attempt to alienate Paul from seniors, Zerban has launched a website called “Hands Of My Grandma.com.”Ryan’s “Path to Prosperity” plan would revamp Medicare, allowing seniors to use a “premium support” system to purchase health care in a private market. The Wisconsin congressman has said Medicare is on the verge of collapse, is unsustainable and will vanish if nothing is done to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
