Paul Ryan Gets Testy And Ends Interview






Ahead of Biden Debate Romney Camp Freaks Out when Paul Ryan is Asked About Tax Cuts

The Romney campaign threw a fit tonight and cut off an interview when a local reporter asked Paul Ryan a tax cut question. If Ryan can’t handle the local media, how will he deal with Joe Biden?

When Paul Ryan was pressed by a local Michigan reporter about how his tax cut would reduce violent crime, his Romney campaign handlers immediately jumped in and ended the interview.

Boom, just like that, Ryan’s Romney campaign handlers jumped in and put an end to the interview. As Ryan was taking his microphone off the Romney aide said, “That was kinda strange, you trying to stuff words in people’s mouths?”

The Romney campaign then put out a statement blaming the reporter for asking the question, “The reporter knew he was already well over the allotted time for the interview when he decided to ask a weird question relating gun violence to tax cuts. Ryan responded as anyone would in such a strange situation. When you do nearly 200 interviews in a couple months, eventually you’re going to see a local reporter embarrass himself.”

They let bullies bully them.. That and , of course the threat of corporate advertisers plays a role . Can't but note , Ryan's aide , Likely media consultant and pr guy, know when to cut off the questions in order to stop penetrating questions that reveal who they are.

He can't even get thru a simple interview with getting rude! There are tough questions to be answered, but between the two they can't answer even the easy ones!!!!!

They had NOTHING prepared for such a question.

Okay, I'll give you an example of something that would fit inside the bubble.

Q: And you can do all that with a big tax cut?

A: You can do that by changing the focus from government dependency to employment in a prosperous free market economy.

Then talk about how crime goes down as employment goes up. Then launch into the pride one feels from earning a living and being a good upstanding member of your community. How you can hold your head up in pride instead of down in despair.... yada, yada, yada....

Instead, let's just put out some video of Ryan acting like a primadonna and then WHINE about being picked on.

Damn these people are stupid....

Ryan political career is on the brink of destruction. His 1st mistake was allowing himself to become a VP pick. Loosing both the seat in WI, then the white house will put him in a different ball game and one he has no idea how to compete. Guess he can live off the company “GREEN BUSINESS” and the 20 million in stimulus. Or his wife’s trust. Too funny! He is one lazy individual with no tact just like Mitt the mullet! Old fish stink and they are both full of maggots!

Or suggests that tax cuts might not have much to do with teaching troubled youth good character?

it was a fair question. lyinaynryan is not worthy of votes . He put inner city(meaning black people in his comments on gun violence and then the great white father talks about teaching discipline, values ect to "those people", mittytwits words. How disgustingly arrogant.

The linked list shows that since Columbine most shooting hav occured in the Midwest, primarily in colleges, churches or at places of work. The shooters are all white males including stock brokers, students, truck drivers, hunters, and vets.

The places where the mass shootings occured: Arkansas, Colorado, Phoenix, Alabama, Dekalb and Ft Hood
