CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Sen. Chuck Schumer says he wants the Senate to vote soon on the Ryan budget to put Republicans, including presidential running mates Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, on the defensive.

The New York Democrat told The Associated Press Thursday that another public discussion and vote, this time on the Senate floor, would force the Republican ticket mates and GOP congressional candidates to defend the proposal's changes to government aid to seniors and the poor.

Said Schumer of Republicans: "Let 'em embrace it again."

2. Really and there I thought...

Let's cut medicare, and blame the President. Let's cut Planned Parenthood, but it is a cut and we hates them. Ditto NPR. Vouchers sound wonderful, to a Republican politician, they limit government liability. The hospitals can still charge what they want, no change there, and when the voucher is exhausted, well, isn't the Republican ideal that don't get sick if you cannot afford it? Or like the preacher in Blazing saddles said, "Son, you are on your own." Oh yes, voucher all government services, like schools. Prices go up, not the government's problem, is it?
