Some Democratic lawmakers want to make sure that one question does not get asked at the upcoming first presidential debate—about Simpson-Bowles.
Three Democratic House members objected Tuesday to a request by four senators that President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney be asked which of the commission’s proposals to address the debt they support. The Democrats said such a question would force “candidates to choose solutions from one menu of options.” …
The Democrats also criticized the Simpson-Bowles commission in their letter, saying that while it seeks to address the debt, it doesn’t address priorities in infrastructure, education, research and other investments, and that the plan “asks seniors, the middle class, and military personnel to sacrifice more, while those with the most are asked to do even less to help in our recovery.” …

$6 Trillion in added debt which Caused a ruined economy, and they don’t want it questioned.

Yep, dem ads are all about personal attacks. GOP ads are about differences in policy. How this is going to play out w/ the conventions (GOP issues/dem personal attacks)and the debates (same) (and the media coverage) will be interesting.

Their attacks are usually successful, and quickly put the RINOs on small-ball defense for the rest of the election campaign.
Being good RINOs, the trembling Republicans usually say: “Ohhhhh, no! Not us! We will save whatever YOU say that we should! You Democrats know best! You will ALWAYS have our Bipartisan Support to keep on being the cave-in, pro-debt wimps that we have always been.”
