Paul Ryan Booed By AARP Crowd For Promising To Repeal ‘Obamacare’
Mediaite ^ | 9/21/2012 | Noah Rothman

Posted on 09/21/2012 10:17:40 AM PDT by markomalley

Republican vice presidential candidate Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)was not well received at a gathering held by the American Association of Retired Peoples on Friday. After Ryan said the first step to strengthening Medicare is to repeal President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, the crowd erupted into boos.

After promising to repeal “Obamacare,” the crowd jeered. “I had a feeling there would be mixed reactions,” said Ryan amid the chorus of booing.

“It weakens Medicare for today’s seniors and puts it at risk for the next generation,” said Ryan to more booing.

“You may not have heard this side of the story,” said Ryan, after detailing the Medicare funds stripped in order to fund the ACA. “The law turned Medicare into a piggybank for Obamacare.”

“You don’t have to take my word for it,” Ryan said. “Ask the chief actuary for the center for Medicare and Medicaid services.”

THEY WON'T ALLOW YOU TO QUIT. No matter how many times you tell them to STOP mailing you stuff. They will never, ever remove your name.

That’s what happens when you say the truth to the 47%.

AARP is not the friend of fiscal conservatives, and is no advocate for “retired persons”, as they claim.

They are an insurance scheme, looking for artificial sustenance from Federal sources.

Every time they send you something, you can wrap the envelope around a brick or a rock, or something else heavy, and write “Return To Sender” on it, and send it back.

They get to pay the return postage...

That was a golden opportunity to educate them. Hope he did.

Hold on there youngun. I am an OLD GEEZER, and I would sacrifice ANYTHING for the future of your and my grandchildrens future.

From some of the Polling charts I have seen, it looks to me like it will be the "silver haired voters" that will put Romney over the top.

And just wait for the old people on FR to blast you.

It is very funny in a way. Everyone is for a balanced budget, until it is their turn to go off the dole.

well I never joined but they mailed me the application when I turned 50. I sent it back in their postage paid envelop saying I wouldn’t join. I got another a couple months later and did same. When I got their third I wrote on it that I can send these back at their expense as many times as they send them. Haven’t rec’d one since - approaching 8 years now.

Actually, I called their customer service # and asked very politely to be removed. They wanted the numbers on the mailing label and did so. I haven't gotten a single piece of their garbage since that time.
