Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan plan to end Medicare as we know it. Now, as voters react, Romney responds by lying about the President's record on Medicare.

Romney-Ryan: using bogus attacks to hide their plan to end Medicare.

2. Nice web ad, but we need something like this to go on TV so that seniors can see it.

7. I agree that this needs to go on TV for seniors to see!

While talking to my husband (66) the other day he repeated this lie to me! He definitely should know better and if he believed this I am afraid that many others do also.

3. Good web video but I agree a TV spot is essential to counter the lies.

5. Shouldn't they use the term "false attacks" instead of the term "bogus attacks" since

the ad is aimed at seniors and, correct me if I'm wrong, but the word "bogus" is a word Jeff Spicoli used in the movie Fast Times At Ridgemont High? Seniors would know the word "false" more than the word "bogus".

6. The derivation of "bogus" goes back to the 1800s.

8. They may have forgotten some things... but not what "bogus" means :)

20. False vs. Bogus

COOL POST BRO!
Maybe you should develop a seminar where you teach senior citizens the difference between false claims and bogus claims? Your efforts in the battle against intentional obfuscation and the willing deception of the less fortunate would be consistent with your progressive values.

11. Yeah! Let's send this VERY important advice to the campaign NOW! (LINK).

Your thoughts are extremely valuable to us. http://barackobama.force.com/questions

Check the "Would you like to be contacted with a response?" 'Yes' box under 'Message' before sending.

(Donating or promising to donate after receiving the 'response' could help for a 'quicker' one...)

13. Is that an official ad? The sound quality need a lot of work before it can hit the air waves.

15. This needs to get out more

My first post on this board. I was a republican until I saw how much my father needed medicare , he lived to be 89.

Most young republicans , I call them kids really won't understand this until it really touches them personally.
I will be voting for Obama / Biden this election.
