Paul Ryan's selection is 'appalling and sad'

He was one of them who gathered to plot the sabotage of the Obama administration.
Joe Biden did not make that comment out of the blue. They are ready and waiting on all fronts. Remember he will not end Medicare as we know it - he will end Medicare.


Paul Ryan throws grandma off a cliff

Attending the dinner were House members Eric Cantor, Jeb Hensarling, Pete Hoekstra, Dan Lungren, Kevin McCarthy, Paul Ryan and Pete Sessions. From the Senate were Tom Coburn, Bob Corker, Jim DeMint, John Ensign and Jon Kyl. Others present were former House Speaker and future – and failed – presidential candidate Newt Gingrich and the Republican strategist Frank Luntz, who organised the dinner and sent out the invitations.

Obama may have just won the election.

Paul Ryan is the exact arsehole Obama/Biden have been hoping for.

He's hideous.. more so than even Rmoney himself.

This is perfect- because we've already seen people in our nation- who actually
have a moral compass, attack and deride Ryan's budget meat cleaver which
(hopes) to decimate the social safety net. Really? are ALL repugs in congress on
board with this?

doubtful.

so now Obama's job just got much easier... we citizens who actually have a soul/heart
are going to smack Ryan's absurd "budget" down severely.

it's a win for Obama.

religious leaders in our nation have already smacked down Ryan's notion
he's going to take his bloody meat cleaver to our social safety net.

Rmoney is dumber than a fencepost for picking this guy. ureal.

Although I always intended to vote Democratic and for President Obama, I am one year and 361 days away from Medicare eligibility. Ryan can stuff his budget proposal up his you-know-what.

I've correctly predicted the winners of the last three POTUS elections.

I've been holding off on this election until now. Ryan's hideous, cruel plan to
decimate our social safety net while leaving the bloated military budget in
place-- will totally galvanize the Dem base... and a few pple who may not
have been planning on voting.

it's all good for Obama.
