Whats the point of the thread? Are you saying this 71 year old couldnt be bothered to listen to the truth?

I think Ryan will be appointing a "Death panel." Don't you?

How newspapers in swing states reacted to Ryan as Romney’s VP pick

"Ryan could hurt Romney in Florida," the Miami Herald said. "Ryan's plans to retool Medicare pose challenges in Florida, as does his one-time opposition to the Cuban embargo, a stance anathema to many Cuban Americans."

In Tampa, where the Republican National Convention will convene later this month, the Tampa Bay Times earned the award for punniest Ryan headline: "Fiscal Attraction."

That is what makes this so damaging to Ryan. Ryan's disrespect for the elderly comes out when he mocks this senior by making jokes about him.

You mean similar to this DEMOCRAT mocking US Border Guards by asking them "who are you going to kill today?":

I am confused. Are you for, or against, Paul Ryan mocking this senior citizen by making jokes about him to the audience?

Oh god no, Ryan will simply change the law to make it legal for anyone to shoot to kill anyone 55 years old, or higher, bypassing the need for any panel.

Do you understand that the cuts aren't to services or even to the existing budget, but it slows the growth of the costs of medicare over 10 years by cutting things like pork to insurance companies. I'm a conservative, and I'm floored that someone who calls themselves a conservative would complain about cutting FAT from a federal program.

The Ryan plan ELIMINATES medicare, and you think that's going to be a better option? The vouchers REALLY DO gut services, because people are going to have to purchase private insurance at a time when their health costs are the highest. It's going to mean sky high premiums that the voucher won't cover, or reduced services and much higher out of pocket expenses.

Obviously a ******* operative plant. And yes Social Security is an ENTITLEMENT. Look up the word sometime. Hopefully the geriatric ******* took his BP meds.
