Yeah I remember, I was like moderately pleased with the VP pick. SOL tossed cold water on it immediately. Just another member of the establishment.
Ryan was pretty dull and clueless in 2012 race compared to all the talk radio hype we got.
Look, under GWB he joined the GOP club to break the bank on medicare expansion which was just another Obama-like bribe to get votes.
Fast forward to Ryan 2011 :
“Good news and bad news, the good news is that all those we gave those medicare goodies to (our base senior voters) we will make sure they get them for life. The Bad news is that if you retire exactly 10 years from ~now, or next month, or next years or later, not sure exactly when it starts but its 10 years for sure, you are just out of luck, The money will be gone. We are brave to tell you the truth. All we can afford to give you younger folks is a government Ryan discount coupon to give your Doctor. That is reality, but we are SAVING medicare for YOU. We are serious adults in the room. We tell the truth.”
This is what we were lectured was our conservative Super-hero.
