Medicare, Ryan, Romney, Medicare, Medicare




Republicans will try, every day, from now until November, to say they are trying to save Medicare from inevitable bankruptcy and destruction.

They have, of course, invented a fatal disease for Medicare, which does not threaten it. 

As Democrats, we should all emulate Gail Collins, who cannot write about Mitt Romney without including some reference to a dog strapped to the top of a car.

We must always mention Romney/Ryan want to kill Medicare and substitute Coupon Care, as if you can replace a living thing with a dead body and call it life saving.

Romney/Ryan, the Medicare Murderers. Romney/Ryan, axe murderers of Medicare. Romney/Ryan, Medicare killers.

I don't know...vote here for your favorite. But this should be not just the lead sentence, but part of their names. 

For Republicans, it's the "Democrat Party."  For Democrats it should be...What? The Medicare Killer Party?  

I'm not much with Marketing Phrases.  Help me out.

  1. Thinking murderers, killers maybe a touch to graphic--vote for destroyers of medicare used repeatedly every time their names come up. In much the same way the Republicans have convinced many of the non-reading public that the Democrats are fiscally irresponsible Socialists--by simply endlessly repeating it....

  2. Republicons : Because the Republican platform is a massive con perpetrated upon our great nation.
    Republicants: Because it is the party of “No”, for everyone except the 1%.
    Republiars : Because all they do is distort or outright lie to confuse the Fox Joes.

  3. I like them all. The difficulty is in the choice.
    Medicare Destroyers has a certain panache--sounds straightforward and has truthiness.
    I do like Republicons, which has the con of contrary and the party of No, and the con job reverberation.
    Whatever it is, all Dems should use it, print it on T shirts and bumper stickers and start a movement. That's what the Republicons do. As you say, say it often enough and it acquires a patina of truth.
