TPM: D’oh! Romney Backer Attacks Santorum For Same Votes He Cast Himself

On February 14, 2012, Talking Points Memo reported:

From Political Surrogate Usage 101: Don’t send your surrogate out to attack someone for exactly the same thing he once did.

The Romney campaign did just that when they dispatched former Sen. Jim Talent (R-MO) to attack Rick Santorum’s budget-busting vote to add a Medicare prescription drug program in the Senate. The problem they quickly ran into was that Talent voted the same way.

Renacci: Ryan Plan “Not a Voucher System”

In this clip, Jim Renacci gets into an argument with a constituent over Paul Ryan’s plan to replace Medicare with a health care voucher program. Renacci takes issue with the term “voucher.”

“I do want you to take a very good look at the Ryan Plan, it is not — it puts it into a free market system, it privatizes it, it gives subsidies, not vouchers. It subsidizes more for those that need more, it subsidizes less for those that need less.”

This footage was captured by an American Bridge tracker in Wooster, OH, on September 28, 2011.

George Allen on the Ryan Plan

In this clip, former Senator George Allen discusses Congressman Paul Ryan’s plan to revamp Medicare by replacing it with a voucher program.

Allen says the Ryan plan is a “thoughtful proposal,” particularly in terms of how it would remodel the tax code and turn Medicaid into a block grant program to the states, but Allen thinks “we should do much better than that.”
