Why didn't your header state a fact that the Romney people are liars, then I would read more of your post, if you ever expressed one little bit of truth. kentay

Actually I don't think the Romney people are liars.  They are truthful but misleading.  I think Obamacare does indeed cut Medicare but it doesn't really matter because Obamacare fills the void.  So technically Romney is correct but as a practical matter nothing changes.  Instead of one unsustainable government health care program there are two.

But this is just politics and each side does it.  Last election a Democrat candidate here in Minnesota accused her Republican opponent of wanting to impose a 30% federal sales tax.  Technically she was correct but highly misleading.  The Republican was in favor of REPLACING all federal income taxes with a 30% sales tax.  Her ads left out the fact that the sales tax was a replacement for the income tax, a critical piece of information.
