2. It's an excellent ad .... and ....
I hope, as Carville suggested today, some enterprising reporter investigates when Bush knew about this Medicare hike.

3. Forget the premium deal

Go ahead and call it a TAX INCREASE. They are paying more for something that is provided by the govenment. So it's really a tax increase.

5. This ad
needs to be on regular TV, especially on the networks. There are many older people who don't have cable or computers.

4. Announced the very day **after** the RNC show folded its "big tent"...
That fact should lead every dig about this, plus it's origin with the first-step-to-privatization of Medicare ramrodded through late last year!
