From another forum:

Have you seen the John Kerry commercial in which George Bush pledges to
help Seniors on Medicare and "the very next day imposes a 17% premium
increase - the biggest in history"?

That ad is a stoke of genius on Kerry's part and will surely gain him
many votes among the uninformed. I found it so amazing that I did some
homework on the issue.

As it turns out the 17% increase was not imposed by President Bush but
was mandated by the "balanced budget agreement" signed by President
Clinton, voted into law by Senator John Kerry, and was scheduled to come into effect during the Bush administration. President Bush had no authority to reverse what had been voted into law by Senator Kerry during the Clinton administration.

Once again Kerry is counting on the ignorance of the American people. Don't be duped by his mendacity.

Does this surprise you? Politics is full of this sort of things on both sides....

Personally I'm shocked that a person who is running for President could do such a thing. It's not like he's a politician or something...wait a minute...hmmm.

I personally support mandatory euthenasia for senior citizens, we don't need them wandering around being confused anyway. That and I would get a kickass inheritance.

I know, it's shocking, isn't it? it's almost like ...propaganda ...

Biff is right. Maybe if you Democrat and Republican Americans were not so partisan and hostile to each other this sort of thing would not happen?

as compared to bush relying on the stupidity of the american public every day?

It's about time those idle seniors started pulling their weight. Do you know most of them don't even have jobs!!!

Medicare should be means tested. Social Security should be means tested. The wealthy seniors should pay their fair share.

the character of Kerry.

Not if your elders read this.
