So you've gone from denying that Democrats are attacking Ryan's plan to joining in their chorus. Yeah...those big bad democrats shouldn't be so "systematically" mean as to "attack" that plan by pointing out its features ...LOL... PS: What you posted is an opinion piece in a conservative paper, not news. Al At the time, Democrats could barely muster a yawn. So imagine the surprise when, after Mr. Ryan re-released his plan in late January, it became a sudden sensation. Two days later Mr. Obama used his visit to the Republican retreat to thrust it into the national spotlight. The cameras rolling, the president praised Mr. Ryan for putting forward a "serious proposal." He in fact singled out the congressman at least three times. Having done his spotlight bit, Mr. Obama then left it to the rest of the Democratic Party to systematically distort and trash the road map. Within two days of the retreat, Obama budget director Peter Orszag had begun deflecting questions about the White House's ugly budget by hammering on Mr. Ryan's plan, claiming it "shifted costs" to families. Congressional Democrats held a conference call with reporters devoted to road map trashing, howling that it showed that Republicans would privatize Social Security, voucherize Medicare, and give tax breaks to the wealthy.
