Wow, Paul Ryan Pretending to Honor Labor Day...The Town Protested Him In A Very Big Way!

Paul Ryan Lost His Home Town

Posted on 11/10/2012 at 3:30 pm by JM Ashby


Not only did Paul Ryan lose his home town of Janesville, Wisconsin in a battle against Democratic challenger Rob Zerban, the Romney-Ryan ticket was annihilated.

via Political Wire


Even though Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) won re-election at the same time he was on the national ticket, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel notes he was crushed in his hometown of Janesville, WI by challenger Rob Zerban (D), 55% to 44%. Ryan had never lost Janesville in a re-election campaign before.

In addition, the Obama-Biden ticket defeated Romney-Ryan ticket in Janesville by a whopping 25 points, 62% to 37%.

Remember when Paul Ryan was going to swoop in and bring substance to the campaign trail? He was suppose to be the “bold” choice.

Good times.

As a bonus, here’s Mister Substance pretending to honor Labor Day last year


Janesville is no fan of Ryan.

...and I'm not a hater. But he is dangerous. We shouldn't forget this. He wasn't booted (sadly) and he'll be pushing his sick agenda for years to come. We cannot ever be complacent again. 2014 is around the corner. Get geared up, fired up and remain vigilant. The Paul Ryans of this world have not given up yet...trust me on this one.

push Boehner out of the Speaker role and slide Tea loyalist Paul into that slot. Teabaggers are working overtime to make this happen. Listen to Boehner's words about memers of his party--he knows that the knives are out. Boehner is in a Hell of a lot of trouble with his party and I do not see how he is going to remain as speaker.

That atheist who was all about selfishness, greed, and gigantic assholism!

Ryan, Ayn-- Rand, (R) -- was she his reptilian mother, did he hatch from her egg like Rand Paul? Wait--

selfishness, greed, and gigantic assholism--

Did they both hatch from eggs, perhaps placed in suspended animation?

Wait --

selfishness, greed, and gigantic assholism

--That defines the repigs, completely!

So, which came first, the reptilism, or the assholes who lined up to suck on it?

Wait--now let's add religion into the equation-- NOW how much would you pay?

But WAIT! For the first 100 callers, you also get this Gigantic Baby Jesus BUTT PLUG! And eternity in heaven! NOW how much would you pay?

But wait! You also get Mitt Romney's personal kiss on your ass!

NOW how much would you pay?

Use your credit card, unless it's one of those Mittens cancelled. Then go into bankruptcy 'cause that asshole made you spend all your own money and left you out and fucked you royally.

Thanks for playing!

You LOSE.

Unbelieveable. That poor young man, asking what he had to learn or do to get a job, and this jerk Ryan has the nerve to offer him a piece of candy . . .

Yeah, that'll shut him up. "Run along, boy . . ."

Words fail me.

to the constituents in their home town was mind boggling!
I could say that we dodged a bullet and we did!
However my faith was with the O team. We saw what they did in 2008....they had a fabulous ground network going then....I knew it would be the same in2012!
Viva Obama....and he could not have done it with out Joe!!!!!!

Agent Mike, in a drunken stupor during our famous drinking binge/road trip, convinced me to to never confront assholes like him in public, with witnesses present. Best piece of advice he ever parted with.
