Paul Ryan Booed At AARP (VIDEO)

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) was booed by the audience while pledging to repeal Obamacare at AARP's annual conference Friday in New Orleans.

"The first step to a stronger Medicare is to repeal Obamacare, because it represents the worst of both worlds: It weakens Medicare for today's seniors and puts it at risk for the next generation," said Ryan, drawing boos from the audience.

Speaking about the cut in the rate of growth for future Medicare spending, Ryan said, "The money wasn't walled off to stay in Medicare. Instead, the law turned Medicare into a piggy bank for Obamacare." That earned louder boos.

"You don't have to take my word for it, you don't have to take my word for it," Ryan pleaded.

They are really courting the elderly vote.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Sounds to me that they were booing Obamacare.

Yeah, it sounded like a mixed reaction to me. Hard to tell if they were booing Ryan or Obamacare. Probably a bit of both.

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

no. they weren't.

Well, if they were booing Ryan it wouldn't surprise me. The AARP is a left leaning organization bent on their own personal greed.

Which confirms what I said, probably a bit of both. I frankly don't see the big deal one way or the other.

Go past the first sentence.

Actually people over 50 tend to lean right except when the right is out to hurt their SS or medicare.

The AARP is a left wing organization. Not surprizing that Ryan would get boo'ed there. At least Romney and Ryan will go into the lion's den, obama only goes where he knows people adore him.

Right, they want their freebies. Only most of them will kick the fucking bucket before anything changes to hurt their freebs so it's like taking Matlock from 6:60PM to 8:00PM.


NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

 

[CMike]

Seasoned citizens aren't thrilled with Obama taking out $716 billion from Medicare.

Amazing how all of the sudden the AARP is a left wing org. Funny how that always is the answer when someone disagrees with the tea party on anything-they are automatically branded marxists regardless of all else.

Mitt lost Florida when he chose Ryan. If he loses Virginia or Ohio...it is all over.
