Ryan speaks to AARP

[celestemekent]

Think Progress reports "On Friday afternoon, Paul Ryan addressed the AARP’s National Annual Conference in New Orleans. The GOP vice presidential candidate attacked Obamacare for taking $716 billion out of Medicare — the very same cuts he included in his budget — and made the case for transforming seniors’ health care from a guaranteed benefit into a premium support “voucher” program. The address didn’t go over well. Audience members called Ryan a “liar,” told him to “go home” and the repeatedly booed his critique of President Obama and health reform"

If that's true it's losers everywhere

Wow just like Romney, Ryan's surrogate father, who tells us that 47% of all US citizens are lazy bums who refuse to take care of themselves. What Ryan failed to realize is that almost half of the seniors he talked to were republicans who were now set to vote for Obama because if his attitude.

The Romney/Ryan ticket is a time bomb waiting to self implode into itself. They keep saying and doing really stupid things that reveal their true characters.

Wow, I'm sometimes am amazed at the spin people put on comments that candidates make. The comment (in context) was referencing the fact that 47% of Americans pay nothing in federal income taxes (verifiable fact) and thus benefiting from those of us that do and that 47% are considerably more likely to vote for the party that keeps it that way. Interestingly enough the top 1% of earners in the US pay almost 50% of the federal income taxes received. So much for the rich not paying their fair share.

And the 47% want them to pay more .. The left reminds me of myself when I was a kid begging my parents for money or something. I came up with every excuse I could from if you loved me to trying to put them on a guilt trip.

That's what the left is a spoil rotten kid that just wants to see how much they can get away with.

If someone would just stand up and say that's it -- NO MORE -- they would suck it up and get back to work. They are nothing but little kids that need a strong person in their life to teach them morals like hard work is a good thing
