Are The Democrats Trying To Have It Both Ways?

OK, so Paul Ryan (R) put forth a budget proposal that includes privatizing Medicare, at least to some degree for people currently under 55. The Democrats are now touting how Republicans in Congress have alienated their base, that their base thinks it's a really bad idea.

Fast foward to the other day when Newt Gingrich said Ryan's plan was "radical". Gingrich is being villified by Republicans for that. And the same Democrats jumped on that to show that Republicans are FOR Ryan and his plan.

The Democrats like stacking the deck with too many aces. Like global warming (if it's hot it's because of Global Warming, and if it's cold it's because of Global Warming), the liberals want us to believe that core Republicans are against Ryan's plan, except when they are for Ryan's plan.

On the one hand, they are trying to minimize Ryan, and on the other hand, Gingrich.

I realize this is politics, but I think the folks are getting real sick of politics as usual, and will jump on the wagon of any candidate who will simply tell them the truth.
