20. heartless selfish punk

This little story is old and most people here heard about it,but it's worth reminding ourselves what a heartless,selfish punk Ryan is.Only link i could find with a short version.


During a recent rotary club luncheon where Paul Ryan was speaking, 71 year old Tom Neilson stood up to protest Ryan’s plans to gut Medicare and Social Security. Paul Ryan is currently U.S. Representative for Wisconsin’s first congressional district. He was recently named Mitt Romney’s running mate for the 2012 elections.

Tom Neilson a 71 year old retiree became obviously upset by Ryan’s plan to leave him without a future. He stood up to ask a question and was immediately surrounded by guards who strong armed him out of the room. While Mr. Neilson was being taken to the ground by several men Ryan decided to crack a joke, “I hope he took his high blood pressure medicine”.

Normally this examiner reports the news without bias or opinion. In this case however this examiner is both shocked and appalled by Ryan’s actions. The idea that this man could become our next Vice President both sickens and disgusts me.
