Paul Ryan seems Uncomfortable with the Booing and Heckling

he gets weird and nervous when it happens. looks like being in the House he was mostly getting his ass kissed by the wingnuts. he was closed off from different people. and didn't care to hear what others had to say.

even Palin seemed to handle it better though she could get nasty. mccain also. Democrats always seem to have fun with it . just look at Obama and some of his encounters.

but Paul Ryan seems shocked someone would disagree with him.

i think Pawlenty would have handled it better and come off as more likable. not very charismatic but a nice guy.

at him about his budget at town hall meetings, he decided only paying constituents could attend.

then he needs to get the hell out of the kitchen.

Being a Vice Presidential candidate isn't for thin-skinned folks.

That piece of shit killed 13 people in the 35W bridge collapse. He cut funding for MNDOT for YEARS before that happened. He also DESTROYED women's shelters and got rid of funding to help abused children.

I hope that asshole prick rots in hell.

He could have gained experience facing opposition. Now, he gets to learn via crash course.

Just one day after his selection, he was booed at a campaign stop! Even Palin had a "honeymoon" with the press and the public. This guy steps onstage to people yelling at him...

Wow. I go back a long way in politics, but this is the first time I've seen anything this disastrous, this early...what a train wreck...
