“the failed policies of the past” Those would be George Bush’s policies........ right?
It only took the Obama White House a few minutes to respond to the Ryan pick along the lines of we regret that Romney has chosen to sacrifice seniors and the middle class to preserve the perks of the rich with this VP choice. I think the comments went over the head of the Dems comic book constituency. They are lining up the wheel chairs and blue haired ladies for a group action photo at the side of the cliff to make sure it registers with their dullard constituency.Ryan is an excellent in your face choice.The Republicans just have to keep repeating the mantra that “It does not affect anyone over age 55” until it registers.After a while the wheel chairs and cliffs will get old
What Romney and Ryan need to talk about is the failed policies of the present.
Remember how Obama treated Ryan like a little kid who was being allowed to sit at the grownup table back when he held that sham of a “bipartisan budget meeting”? I’m sure Paul Ryan does, and as the “attack dog” for the Romney campaign he’s earned the right to show just how brilliant the man-child President really is.
This is going to be good!
I do not understand why the Repubs haven't jumped on this phrase which is used by every Liberal. Notice that there is no claim that Ryan's plan would END Medicare. The caveat is always carefully added by the Libs. Of course, Ryan's plan would end Medicare "as we know it". As we know it, Medicare will go bust in a decade and if we don't do something about it NOW, there will be no Medicare at all. "as we know it" it is a failing, if not failed, program which must be saved for our children's future, etc, etc, etc!
“Failed policies of the past.” Jim Messina, and anyone else reciting that mantra, got it exactly, perfectly right. The policies of the past three years have most certainly failed. BIG time!
More unemployment, more gas price increases, more class warfare, more food stamps, more voter fraud, more divisiveness, more crony capitalism, more socialism, more extreme left-wing Justices, more "get-out-of-jail-free" cards for New Black Panther thugs, more kowtowing to our enemies, more abandonment of our allies, more excuses, more lies, more pure unadulterated bullshit. I can hardly wait, Messina.
There is is, the Obama campaign strategy. They are going to hammer Romney on picking Ryan who tried to cut Medicare.
It's why I warned he shouldn't pick Ryan. Not that I'm going to vote for either Romney or Obama.
How utterly predictable, banal, and childish:
* failed policies of the past
* most extreme budget plan passed by a House of Congress
* end Medicare as we know it
* slash the investments we need to keep our economy growing
* cutting taxes for those at the very top
I predicted they would use these points in another post about an hour ago (except I forgot Medicare).
FUBO and FU Jim Messina!
Bush legitimized the absurd liberal "stimulus" concept. Obama applied it to the maxiumum degree. With predictable results.
Reagan implemented long term structural reforms to reduce government's burden on the economy. Ryan's plan does the same.
Finally, a true economic growth agenda!
Give 'em hell, Romney/Ryan. Go over the heads of the media right to the American people, as Reagan did!
Here is another one for the Commies in the AFL-CIO:
While Mitt Romney announces Rep. Paul Ryan as his vice presidential pick today, a politician who will tout the same failed policies that have benefited only their deep-pocketed donors, tens of thousands of working families will launch a campaign to demand elected leaders support an agenda that gives economic rights for all.
The rally for the middle class today is about people, not secret money. It stands for everyone, not just Wall Street. We’re fighting for our economic rights, for a more secure future for all of us.
Click here to sign your name in support of working families and real economic justice for the middle class.
The demand is simple. All of us should have a right to full employment and a living wage, full participation in the electoral process, a voice at work, quality education and a secure, healthy future.
All of these rights are vital to getting our country back on track and making it work for everyone, not just the Mitt Romneys and Paul Ryans of the world. But if you can’t be in Philly today, you still can get involved.
With the election only three months away, we need to start working together to hold politicians accountable for their votes on these issues and make sure they listen to us after November. Today, Mitt Romney doubled down on his drive to destroy the middle class by selecting Paul Ryan, someone who wants to end Medicare as we know it, kill jobs for working families, and give tax breaks to the rich.
If you believe everyone should have basic economic rights, show your support here by clicking on the link and tell us what issues matter most as we head into Election Day: http://go.aflcio.org/2ndBillofRights.
