"We'll know that if when Obama wins."

Fixed that for you.

And no Republican will ever meet him/her in heaven. They are going to the warmer place.....

He needs to be forced to define what part of the population is at the soup kitchen. Because he's already defined 30% of Americans to be nothing but 'takers' as Romney has defined 47% of Americans as irresponsible.

It's against Ryan's doctrine to stop them from starving, as they deserve per Rand. He is firmly on the side of 'job creators/producers.' He and Mitt are the epitome of Ayn Rand's 'Supermen.'

About this publicity stunt, I'd ask him:

Why would you encourage the 'takers' at the soup kitchen, instead of telling them to get jobs?

C'mon people this is priceless

That Fake-azz Ryan

and other should be ready to send support, if they can.

I'm not buying that.

There is more, probably enough more to call it professional PLANNING, behind that dish-washing.

“We’re a faith-based organization; we are apolitical because the majority of our funding is from private donations,” Antal said in a phone interview Monday afternoon. “It’s strictly in our bylaws not to do it. They showed up there, and they did not have permission. They got one of the volunteers to open up the doors.”

It's possible they thought lunch was to be served. Possible. But just showing up for a photo op was rude. Bully boys, classic definiton.

And I'm thinking SS are really not very likely to have happily gone along with that.

I wonder what their protocol is on spur of the moment photo ops. How much time would they need? I wish someone would interview the volunteer who opened up the place.

Anyone can walk into one of those places. They aren't expecting anything. No doubt the person who let them in thought it was publicity for the soup kitchen and didn't even know who they were. The St. Vincent De Paul's stores in my area don't restrict anyone from coming in to look things over.

I'm guessing as I've never been to that place, is that one of the homeless was working in the back and they are often apolitical. But the Ryan brigade planned this out, figured it'd be a good campaign commercial for him. That they are a Catholic charity would make it more credible to low-info voters, who won't see this online.

out! Can you say, backfired!!!

I think someone on the inside set this up.. the logistics of having to detail out a place by the SS before the arrival of their charge would have been obvious and no mention about that has been reported.

I think it was pre-arranged by someone who didn't know about the bylaws and now, hopefully, that volunteer with get a good thrashing for forcing a private apolitical organization into the middle of the most political, partisan fight of the year.

Also, it seems to me that the president of this organization needs to stop leaving it unsaid what their organization can and cannot do with respects to candidates looking for unearned photo-ops.

Did I mention "weasel"? I'm running out of words to express my disgust.

now that I think about it, you're right. Friggin weasel!

to the weasel.


Loves me some low hanging fruit.

I go up and down, but I feel very optimistic today. Fingers crossed for tomorrow although doubt if it will change minds. Hell, we already voted! Screw Paul Ryan! Figuratively speaking of course.

any morals they'd be ashamed. Here's what good parents teach their kids:





Mrs. Obama and Sasha served coffee to guests seated at tables, while Malia and Mrs. Robinson walked around with platters, offering to replenish barbecued chicken, potato salad, cornbread and assorted Danish. The President greeted folks by the kitchen and posed for photos, then got onto the lunch service line.

"All right, let's go to work," President Obama said. "I'm ready!" Joined by volunteers, the President scooped macaroni and cheese and served barbecue chicken, and shook hands with those who came through the line, saying alternately to each one, "How are you, sir?" and "Good to see you."

And his wife isn't any better. They ought to be ashamed of themselves. What fools they made of themselves.

You are 100% correct, the Ryans are teaching their children to be phonies.

After teaching the kids to be smug bet they went to eat out somewhere real nice but only after they showered and washed the children from the ickies they caught at the food shelter
Because even while faking it you can get all icky = bet you that is what the Ryans thought

>sign me as some one who has actually volunteered and done this not faked it !!!

Not a big FAKE like Lyin Ryan Rmoney

I can tell you that your sleeves would be soaked if you just give them a little flip up over your wrists like he did.

And you don't wash dishes with your frikkin watch on!

so true

Who knew??

When I saw that pic of Ryan "washing" that pot, I just reacted, ah the phony is at it again.

Little did I know that he was just barging in for an uninvited photo-op!

worthy of being asked in the first place.

Subsidized noble$$$$$$$$$$$$e oblige monopolizes collective resources, such as taxes, for the benefit of the CHOSEN few, without delivering anything of benefit to the "unworthy" in return and, then, justifies their own pay-checks on the backs of the poor and disadvantaged, without even asking them.

This is the way things are done in Kansas. google Kevin Yoder.

Romney and Ryan are shameless liars who cannot be trusted.

They lie about their own policies--Voucherizing Medicare, Orr-existing conditions covered in their health plan and their $5-trillion tax plan that they can't remember.

And now they even lie about volunteering at a homeless shelter.

This should be a campaign ad!!!

Phony motherfucker, ain't he?

The wheel of Karma turns. Slowly, but it turns.

I hope this gets a lot of coverage. That was so tasteless and pathetic.

Ed Schultz is reporting on this tonight!!!

I'm glad St. Vincent de Paul spoke up, they are a good organization!

Yep! He's a Republican!

Rudeness. Lack of respect for rules, other individuals, or institutions. Muscle your way in to get what you want, in this case, a photo op of Lyin' Ryan "doing good."

I'm sending out the links via email. Thanks!!!

The head of a charity in northeastern Ohio where Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan and his family were photographed cleaning dishes over the weekend said Monday that Ryan was not authorized to be on the premises and "did nothing" while there.

Brian J. Antag, president of the Mahoning County St. Vincent De Paul Society in Youngstown, told the Washington Post that the Romney campaign had not asked to make the Saturday visit to the soup kitchen. He said that he runs an apolitical faith-based organization which has bylaws barring it from hosting political candidates, and that the visit jeopardized donations from private individuals.

"They showed up there and they did not have permission," he said. "They got one of the volunteers to open up the doors." Antag added that Ryan and his family "did nothing" while on the premises ...

let's hope

Thanks for the thread, MissMarple.

This campaign is certainly doing its best to answer that question.

pan.

The GOP just hasn't realized it yet.

They go an do this! They just keep lowering the bar...Sigh....

spit on the 47%, then make it look like you care about them. It's so obvious it was only for a photo op, why else would he arrive late? I haven't heard a single thing proposed by Ryan/Rmoney to help the homeless, or any downtrodden for that matter, so why would he show up there? What good did that visit do for the homeless?

Seriously, news of this phony stunt needs to be spread around far and wide.

Do you think this'll hit the MSM? Pfft.

Edit: By "us" mean liberals who pay attention.

Ryans stayed 15 minutes, but claim it wasn't just a photo op.
I don't know whether to go with "B.S." or LOL

i wonder how this will play for his house seat race

tool-belt intact, per GWB.

Is this last minute appeal to the bleeding hearts Rove's idea? It's not like we haven't seen it before.

And sued.
