Ryan Says "Distortion" of His Plan to End Medicare Cost GOP NY 26th District

He Needs to See Adlai Stevenson

Rep. Paul Ryan (R, WI) who authored a plan to end Medicare and replace it with a subsidized premium for private insurance is being quoted today as saying that Democratic distortions of his Plan are what caused the Republican candidate to lose a Special Election in NY's 26th Congressional District.

Ryan Claims Distortion

What Mr. Ryan does not apparently understand is that while in politics it is usually necessary to distort an opponent's position to make a point, in the case of the Medicare Proposal that the GOP House passed, such distortion is not required.  The Plan fails on its own merits.  See

Ending Medicare is Ending Medicare

Adlai Stevenson, a former two time Presidential candidate is reportedly quoted as saying

"If they will stop telling lies about me, I will stop telling the truth about them"

Mr. Ryan needs to heed that advice.
