Scummy anti-Romney-Ryan talking points Obamabots will be repeating until election day.

Annapolis, MD (PRWEB) August 12, 2012

In choosing radical Congressman Paul Ryan as his vice-presidential running mate, Mitt Romney chose to double-down on his corporate agenda to enrich the top 1% at the expense of working families, according to the president of one of the largest labor unions in North America.

William P. Hite, General President of the 340,000-member United Association of Plumbers, Pipefitters, Sprinkler Fitters and Service Technicians (UA), warned that Ryan “would happily shred the social fabric of our nation without a second thought.”

“Paul Ryan was the architect of the infamous ‘Path to Prosperity,’ a budget plan which sought to abolish Medicare in favor of a voucher system, drastically cut Social Security benefits for seniors, raise the retirement age and gut healthcare for families in need—all while calling for tax cuts for millionaires but raising taxes on the middle class,” he said.

“We think it’s time for a more thorough explanation from Congressman Ryan on these and other issues. He needs to explain to the American people why he wants to wage war on the middle class and the disadvantaged among us,” Hite added.

Well, seeing as our our “social fabric” is increasingly made up of entitlement welfare parasites, illegals, homosexuals and their supporters, abortion lovers, various liberal crazos and anti-military pinkos, I’m all for tearing up a bit of THIS social fabric and REPLACING it with something a bit more reliable and durable.

I think Ryan will lend a great hand to this effort.

It NEVER fails to amaze me how these people would have a lot more pipes to fit if they’d get off of the Democrat plantation. If they’re doing the same type of plumbing work that I’ve done in the past, that tells me that they are highly skilled and they don’t need to the amalgamated brotherhood (or whatever the hell they call themselves) to find them work - their work speaks for itself.

They just seem oblivious to the Dem (and Rick Perry, to be fair) policy of coddling Illegals - how does that help them. Or the Dems trying to shut down the country - there are not many pipes to fit at a closed factory.

It’s already been shredded.

Secretary of the Interior Palin. Has a nice ring to it...

[Eye of Unk]

It certainly does. Get this country motivated, get the oil rigs running, its boom or bust and we just had bust.

Unions fail to realize that there are States that don’t have unions and they are doing much better.

[pingman]

Yeah; Obozo and the Democraps may regret having passed the bill allowing the president to appoint his cabinet positions without Congressional approval.

Paul Ryan IS the social fabric of this nation

Even though Mr Hopie Change has pledged to unravel it

His plan slows the growth of government

That's a warm fuzzy way of saying exactly what I said. There were other budgets proposed that cut the size of government.

[andyk]

reduce the size of the federal government to 20% of GDP in 2015 and 18% or 19% after that.

I understand the argument, but the federal government will continue to grow larger and more powerful. I really don't see a in victory in returning to a percentage of GDP from just a handful of ago, representing a gargantuan, unconstitutional government.

[Caipirabob]

And unions completely bankrupting us would not?

The intent is to shred the "socialist" fabric of the nation.

Far better than what will happen to them during an actual collapse.

It's worse than that - Ryan's selection threatens to rend the very fabric of space-time itself and throw the universe into a singularity denser than Joe Biden's cerebrum. Not much hyperbole here.

Ryan's budget proposal will not be enacted, although it ought to be. That isn't how the Vice Presidency works anyway, or we'd have been under the Cheney plan or (shudders) the Algore budget. Wrap your head around that one without cringing.

Now that it isn't me - and I can assure my fellow FReepers that my beanie was in the circle until the very last - I can reveal the Drill Plan. Now the downside to a lot of these schemes to cut the size of government is that it will put a lot of bureaucrats out on the street - I'm saying that like it's a bad thing - and that we'll have the darlings living out of the backs of their limos while they search for some hideously unfortunate community function to administer. I don't think the rag-pickers are unionized yet but I'm a little out of touch.

But here's the deal - actual personnel costs don't appear to be all that high in the scheme of things, not even when you throw in a retirement cushier than any of the rest of us could ever contemplate. It's the rest of the stuff they do that costs money. So here's the deal - we pay them to go to work and sit at their desks and leave us the hell alone. Yes, I realize that makes government the functional equivalent of a protection racket. And that differs from now...how?
