Welcome to the board.


Are you actually objecting to the speaker being allowed to complete his talk?


They no longer teach manners where you come from?
Or is it simply over-exposure to Alinsky?

A bit of an overkill and actually it's criminal assault unless he was pointing a gun at Ryan.

Democrat operatives are paid to interfere with republican appearances. That an older person was found willing to take a buck to cause a problem isn't surprising.

Actually, this senior citizen and others are Congressman Ryan's actual constituents , but Ryan refused to meet them at a free public meeting during his recess last year. The elderly constituent had no choice but to pay 15$ plate far away from majority of Ryan's constituents in order to speak.

Yeah, Ryan is such a caring guy! Not!

What a pithy post.
Hard to imagine that you were able to pack so much factual and analytic material into such a small space.


But...what difference does it make whether or not you are enamored with him, if his expertise is able to save entitlements and increase the fiscal health of the the nation?

Are you able to think that far into the debate?


Or...to put it another way...did you stop using Arabic numerals after the attacks of 9/11?

Grow up.

It's easy to understand why Romney chose Ryan, he wanted an authentic loony to confirm he is an authentic loony. Some ammunition below for those who argue this crackpot is good for America.

"You [Paul Ryan] can’t tell somebody that in 10 years your economic situation is going to be just wonderful because meanwhile your kids may starve to death." Father Stephen Umhoefer Ryan's pastor

"[ Paul Ryan] is the embodiment of the machine that our music has been raging against for two decades, I clearly see that Ryan has a whole lotta ‘rage’ in him: A rage against women, a rage against immigrants, a rage against workers, a rage against gays, a rage against the poor, a rage against the environment. Basically, the only thing he’s not raging against is the privileged elite he’s groveling in front of for campaign contributions."

"There was a time, not so very long ago, when perfectly rational people ran the Republican Party. So how did the party of Lincoln become the party of lunatics? That is what this book aims to answer. Fear not, the Dems come in for their share of tough talk — they are zombies, a party of the living dead."

But the old coot was cool with Obama cutting $700B from medicare to fund Obamacare?

Really?

Tom Morello? LOL Che loving Communist cocksucker

He wants his $716 Billion back.....poor old guy. He should try that shit on Obama.....

Morello lives in a mansion in Beverly Hills, and has a net worth of $60 million. He's the Michael Moore of irrelevant rock bands that are overly reliant on effects pedals......he's a pocket full of shells.....

Maybe all seniors can start taking money from the Mafia and direct funds to their relatives like Harry Reid?

I have it from very reliable sources, that wish to remain nameless, that Harry Reid had that old bastard in the video brought to his secret sexual dungeon in DC. He then put on his clown make-up , then placed a ball gag in his mouth.....his own mouth...and let the old guy rape him with a policeman's nightstick. But the rest is really super dirty, so my unnamed and exceptionally reliable sources refuse to elaborate further. Suffice it to say, the old man no longer complains about Medicare.

Daily Kos: Putting that $716 billion back where it was originally would actually HURT seniors

"Like the loathsome opportunist that he is, Mitt Romney has been running around saying that, if he is elected, he will restore the $716 billion he claims Obama "stole" from Medicare to give to Obamacare.

But, counter-intuitive though it may seem, putting back that money would actually reduce benefits for current seniors.

Let me explain:

That money is actually savings culled in part from ending tax-payer subsidies to private insurance companies in the Advantage program, a program that routinely over-charges the government for services that regular Medicare provides for far less. And not a single benefit to a single senior is lost in the process.

Obama then turns around and gives this money back to seniors in the form of free preventative care and a closing of the doughnut hole which saves seniors hundreds of dollars a year in prescription drug costs.

Thus, it's Romney who would be the one stealing from seniors if he puts that money back, not Obama. Seniors, under Romney, would lose that free preventative care and would go back to paying exorbitant prices for their drugs.

But the private companies would sure be happy.

I thought Republicans were supposed to be for more efficient government, not less.

Obama is doing what everyone says he should be doing, that is making Medicare into a leaner, more efficient system without reducing benefits to those who depend upon it. And what is his reward for that? To have Republicans, who proclaim to hate socialized medicine and everything about it, pretending suddenly that they are the serious defenders of Medicare. It's sickening, and they need to be called out on it. "

Perhaps someone can ask Mitt why he's proposing to move the date of Medicare's insolvency up nearly a decade to 2016. And how bankrupting the trust fund in his first term and offering no proposals to deal with this Mitt-induced mess satisfies his pledge that "Nothing changes for current seniors or those nearing retirement."
