On the ticket just ONE DAY and they're already heckling him?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021124911

Geez, usually there's a little bit of a honeymoon for the newly named VP candidate before the heckling starts.

Wow! I've been observing politics for a LONG time and I've never seen that before!

Being heckled in Iowa by old people! Right out of the box!

This cannot end well for the R ticket...

I just caught a glimpse, and they looked like youngish women to me. Code pink, maybe??

Like I said, I just caught a glimpse of a couple of women being hustled away. They were nowhere near that old.

On second thought--are you sure he's one of the protesters. He's right in the middle of a bunch of Romney signs.

It was a Romney rally! Lol. It looks like these are old Republicans pissed off at their ticket. No evidence of code pink. Did you see pink shirts? A press release or statement? Code pink usually owns up to their actions.

Do you remember the hell Ryan caught in his town halls when he first tried to ax medicare? You'd think he'd be used to the protests.

He could have been angry with the hecklers. Or maybe the woman in front of him stepped on his feet. Who knows?

It's like winning on "The Dating Game" where the only choices were Larry The Cable Guy, Pee Wee Herman, and Genghis Kahn, except there isn't even a weekend at a Mediterranean spa.

America wants a divorce, and Romney can keep the stereo.

He represents nothing short of a war on the people.

And President Obama also needs to be pinned down publicly and forced to make a stand on opposing austerity and not cutting safety nets. Nothing like the Grand Bargain, ever again.

We have had enough. It is time for the people to be clear that we will not accept a war on us from those who are supposed to represent us.

How are they going to stand up to Middle Eastern dictators and North Korea when they can't even take a slight hint of well deserved criticism?
