It's the same math that makes the ARRA be one TRILLION dollars.

My thesaurus shows "strengthen" == "destroy".

someone needs to explain to the GOP base that you're not supposed to actually sniff that glue..

BB & SVT:

Thank you for your corrections. I placed too more reliance in this: <a href="http:\/\/www.mediamatters.org\/blog\/2012\/08\/14\/cnns-obrien-corrects-right-wing-media-medicare\/189336" target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.mediamatters.org/blog/2012/08/14/cnns-...">http://www.mediamatters.org...

There is a link there to a CBO letter, but that's from March and I think things have changed a bit since then.

It's important to get the facts out there. Particularly when I'm woofing on others for not being able to do just that.

"Tomorrow will be cloudy with a high chance of Romney lies in the AM, followed by several inches of lies in the afternoon. Later, it's likely to become dark, with an increasing chance of more Romney lies overnight."

Mittens was ready to make a deal with Satan, but then he remembered Ann Coulter endorsed him, so that would have just been redundant.

No wonder Sununu was so incensed earlier. Soledad nailed this ad's missing bona fides to the studio wall before it even hit the street.

Sununu in spasms; incredulous at being questioned. Reminds me of that cartoon: "<i>Hey</i>, they're lighting their arrows! Can they <i>do</i> that?" Warms my soshlizt librul heart.

This would be a good time for the news media to step in with an unbiased report that explains the two plans and how they differ in an honest factual way.

Which is about as likely as Kat Dennings showing up at my front door and offering to blow me.

Mitt's next ad: "why won't Obama release his tax returns?"

Not beloved ever since he endorsed Obama in 2008 and made a pro-Obamacare ad in 2010.

Mittens experiment to find out just how far you have to go those days before the MSM finally calls you a liar continues.
