Ryan: Romney’s Assets In A ‘Blind Trust For Pete’s Sake’

Romney surrogate and VP contender Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) said on Sunday that the Obama campaign using Bain Capital and the issue of Romney’s taxes to distract the country from the issues people really care about.

“People are not worried about the details as to when Mitt Romney left Bain Capital to save the Olympics or the details about his assets, which are managed by a blind trust for Pete’s sake,” Ryan said on “Face the Nation.” “They’re worried about their jobs and their family’s future.

Romney is either a liar or a felon or both, but "people are not worried about the details," he said.

Real early in a campaign for desperation to set in, but Romney is fucked.

Obama sent you assholes bills for jobs, but you assholes voted them down. If Rev Wright was important for what Obama did in his church for 20 years, then Rmoney time at Bain is important too asshole.

These people make me sick.

They’re worried about their jobs and their family’s future.
Which is WHY we can't risk turning the country over to the likes of Romney.
‘or the details about his assets, which are managed by a blind trust for Pete’s sake,” Ryan said ’

In 1994, when he was running for the Senate against Ted Kennedy, Romney attacked Kennedy for disclaiming any responsibility for his investments, declaring at one point: “The blind trust is an age-old ruse.”


Between this shit and Gillespie now claiming that Romney retired "retroactively", I really have to wonder why the pundits keep telling us this race is tied right now. Is anyone seriously gonna vote for this clown? I'm beginning to wonder if he's even going to make it to the convention. This is getting good.

9. Ryan Budget

I think President Obama was being very generous in calling the Ryan Budget social darwinism, when in reality it should be called for what it is: genocide. Obergruppenfuhrer Ryan wants to cancel Medicare, Medicaid and a host of safety net programs for the poor. He aims to disenfranchise millions of Americans who will literally suffer starvation and lack of medical care under his program. Nice call Ryan. Ryan, you have a nice, kind and ordinary face, no different than the nice, kind and ordinary faces that sat in the docket at Nuremburg.
