The battle over Medicare and Social
Security for seniors and retirees is among those debates and is wasting no time
heating up on the campaign trails. Candidates are using mailers, telephones, TV
and radio commercials and even door-to-door operations to spread their
messages. Which has prompted one senator’s unsuccessful quest to have an attack
ad pulled off the air?
Democrats and Republicans are battling each other in a campaign season that can change the political view of the national capitol for the next two to six years. In some races they have not become bitter sweet; instead they have become a bit ugly. Democrats are hammering the republicans for backing Rep. Paul Ryan Medicare plan, and the republicans are hammering democrats over the healthcare overhaul passed into law by fellow democrats and President Obama.
The enacted Affordable Care Act which was passed by the democratic controlled house and senate, and signed into law by now President Barack Obama, is projected to reduce the growth of Medicare by $500 billion dollars over the next 10 years, but some estimate that it would actually increase that same budget over the next 10 years.
Barber a candidate for congress in Arizona is running for his former boss seat Rep. Gifford’s, whom is retiring this year. Barber has quoted to the Hill newspaper the He would never vote for a cut to Medicare benefits. However his opponent Kelly disagrees with Barber claims, by also quoting People need to see the contrast between myself and my opponent, who has made some very disparaging remarks about these programs. He called them both ponzi schemes and said they out to be eliminated and privatized.
Republicans can’t really put the blame solely on democrats, when almost all of the House Republicans voted in favor of Rep. Paul Ryan plan to change Medicare and cost senior’s to lose their healthcare benefits and services back in March.
There is no reason for republicans and democrats to distance themselves from their party beliefs over such issues as this heated issue.
This hot issue has even reached all the way down into the sunshine state of Florida, where Sen. Bill Nelson is defending is record on Capitol Hill to save his current seat. The negative campaign ads that is currently being ran by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has forced Sen. Nelson to act through his attorney to request that the television stations stop airing those political ads, that he claims is false.
It is known that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is behind a lot of this negative campaigning in regards to the Medicare and healthcare legislations that has been proposed and passed on Capitol Hill. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce should not be a driving force in these races, and should let the candidates and their respective campaign face their voters themselves as this campaign season progresses.

The voters will decide one way or the other, but they should not
have to decide off of hearsay rhetoric.
