But then he sees Ryan on FNC explain that the first people affected are those under 55 right now and he is relieved that it is not him. Does he suddenly support it now knowing he hated it when he thought it was him? If he flips and supports it now that he knows he is protected from it and will get HIS bills paid is that taking the moral high ground?

That makes sense.

RE :"That makes sense."

There is some logic behind why they passed that particular bill and so now feel they have to defend it. One commenter on this thread said he is 62 (protected by the Ryan plan)and doesnt want medicare when he turns 65 , but you can bet after 65 when that doctor diagnoses some form of cancer he WILL use medicare to pay for treatments rather than die.

Similar life or death arguments Republicans used on Democrats medicare cuts to get the advantage will apply to this debate and will be used to now beat on Republicans. Watch each side act like they only see the OTHER side as demi-goding and lying about the issue for political gain.
