Ryan Gets Booed At The AARP

[highplainsdem]

Source: ThinkProgress

On Friday afternoon, Paul Ryan addressed the AARP’s National Annual Conference in New Orleans. The GOP vice presidential candidate attacked Obamacare for taking $716 billion out of Medicare — the very same cuts he included in his budget — and made the case for transforming seniors’ health care from a guaranteed benefit into a premium support “voucher” program. The address didn’t go over well. One man called Ryan a “liar” at the very beginning and the audience repeatedly booed his critique of President Obama.

Note..Ryan may not be in a real good position to win his seat...So goes Wisconsin to President Obama..so goes Thompson and hopefully Ryann !!!

[Raster]

17. No we cannot get over confident. The Evil R*s will work overtime to steal this election.

Evil Rs = Rethuglicans: (R)money, Ryan and Rove.

[INdemo]

29. Well this election cycle we would have to add the Koch

Bros to the evil list..not that they weren't there before but they were the silent money bags...

[LynneSin]

3. Somewhere in Wasilla Alaska a woman is having a good chuckle over this

thinking 'And they thought I was a bad choice for VP'

[Bernardo de La Paz]

4. He calls overwhelming negative "a mixed reaction". And catch his forced over-smiles. nt

[nolabear]

21. Was tht fabulous or WHAT! Mixed, as in "That guy over there kinda likes me. Right Guy? Guy?"

[Ebadlun]

5. Unbelievable

Bill Clinton called him out on this in front of 10s of millions of viewers - how does he think he can still say it?

[Angry Dragon]

[bluecoat_fan]

9. Ouch! Wish I could see the audience

[uwep]

10. Coming out of his mouth.

I always thought a bowl movement came out of a person's rectum, not his mouth.

[irisblue]

12. "you don't have to take my word for it"

as you say, Mr Ryan, I don't take your word for it. You are telling a lie, over and over.You can repeat that lie till your tie turns into a bolo, and it will still not be true.

[JaneQPublic]

13. I love old people!

[CBHagman]

14. I think I counted nine separate instances of booing...

...and that's not including the jeers and shouts.

[Lucy Goosey]

15. This makes me so happy

It's so nice to see this smug little prick have to deal with a crowd that doesn't adore him!

[skeewee08]

16. look @ that smirk

[jtuck004]

18. I saw that same smirk on a documentary about Nazis in the death camps. n/t

[jonesgirl]

19. Whip his azz Granny! Lalalalove it

[VWolf]

20. Somewhere in Wasilla,

a woman breathes a sigh of relief for no longer being the stupidest VP candidate ever.

Oh, who am I kidding?

[nolabear]

22. "Mixed reaction." Now I see how he arrived at that marathon time.

As my poeple say, "That boy ain't right."

[JDPriestly]

23. The familiar Republican smirk.

What an unlikable fellow. Wisconsin, why in the world did you vote for him?

[bluemarkers]

24. and this is the second best they got?

with mittens being the best... omg

[rachel1]

25. Could he not see this coming?

Perhaps he believed his own BS and thought that others would approve of it.

[still_one]

26. Maybe seniors realize that they are being threatened by the republicans finally /nt

[BeyondGeography]

27. That reaction was about as mixed as Don Logan in Sexy Beast

[imanamerican63]

28. Now that is priceless!!!!!!!

[LongTomH]

30. The real question: Why was Eddie Munster dumb enough to show up in front of a crowd of seniors.....

....after talking about turning Medicare into a voucher system?

Mixed responses, my left testicle!!!! They should have ridden his smirking little ass out of town on a a rail!!!!!

[JackBoik]

31. You Lie!!

I wish that any time teabilly numb-nuts or MittWitt RobMe throws out the bs line, "taking $716 billion out of Medicare," someone in the audience would yell-out, "You Lie" a la Joe Wilson

[sevenseas]

32. Lyin' Ryan makes my blood boil

Hooray for you folks in New Orleans!

And I love DU...

I'm so proud I even made a SONG about the "FAR REICH" Republicans...

a rousing song to sing while they join arms and take a flying leap:

(sung to the tune of "We Are The Champions&quot

(With Gusto)

"WE ARE THE DOUCHE-BAGS!...WE ARE THE DOUCHE BAGS"!

While you are at it, please take 'Crazy-eyes Bachman' and all the other Sarah Palin clones over the cliff with you.

Good Riddance.

Thanks again, New Orleans- you got the spirit!

[Arugula Latte]

34. Welcome to DU, sevenseas!

[sevenseas]

39. Thank You!

Thank You, Arugula Latte- You are so kind!

I am still all aglow with pride over the folks in New Orleans. It was beautiful.

Two things have really given me hope- one was finding DU, and the other was watching the Democratic Convention- woooooo-ah! Every speech was great!

[sarcasmo]

33. The proles are revolting.

[Arugula Latte]

35. Question about this video's "views"

I clicked on this video hours ago and it was 301 views ... now it is still 301 views ... Any insight?

[chuckstevens]

36. Seniors Aren't Stupid

There is an assumption that senior citizens only care about THEIR medicare. This is not accurate. These people know that there grandkids now will be able to stay on their parents policy until they are 26, they know that their sons and daughters won't be denied health care do to "Pre-existing conditions", and they know that nt a dime of the $700 million medicare cuts were taken from their benefits.

This country has never been "center left" as the bull shit Faux News talking point would like people to believe. Americans want fairness and a balance of capitalism with government acting as an umpire. Seniors citizens have seen a lot more in their life time than "Skippy Ryan" and they know a PHONY when they see one.

[Mkap]

37. that young whipper snapper!

I hope they turned the hose on him and shouted "GET OFF MY LAWN"

[and-justice-for-all]

38. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give to you the new smirking chimp...Paul Ryan (L-Liar)

[George II]

40. Is Ryan really that stupid? Going to a convention of seniors..................

.............and telling them he'll cut off their benefits?

[underpants]

41. He is shrinking into his suit

I haven't seen him anywhere for weeks now.....I see why now.
