strong, independent individual epitomizing bootstrapism and making on your own without government assistance, yet she ended up taking Social Security benefits as soon as she could.

Ryan is even worst though. He's been trying to gut social safety nets his whole career but as a post on the home page today stated, he went to public school, god Social Security benefits from his father's death that helped him pay for public college after which he began working in the government and cashed government checks for 25 years and now will draw a government retirement pension on top of whatever cushy lobbyist job that awaits him.

Can't get anymore anti-Randian than that, nor can you get anymore hypocritical than that—he's been on the public dole his whole life just about but doesn't want anyone else to be helped.

An asshole el supremo.

This bimbo is pathetic. Honestly, I think she is thinking back to the days when a republican was actually someone who put country ahead of party. That hasn't been around for the past 35+ years. Get a grip crazy lady.

Yeah, screwing over anyone and everyone that is not part of the ruling class is nice. Not looking for reality based political commentary from her, but ugh. On a side note, Ben Sasse is a joke, talk talk talk, but then votes right along with the orange one kind of like hmmm....kind of like her dad!
