Ryan's hoodwinking old folks, ya'll

[madashelltoo]

This clown is spewing every lie Mittens has told and the crowd is tepid in their responses. They may be old Repigs, but they know this is a bunch of hooooey. Those big, sad, blue eyes and introducing Momma three times won't help them. These are wealthy old folks who really don't DEPEND on Social Security or Medicaid or Medicare. It pads their bills and they appreciate it, but they don't depend on it.

Now he's pulling on the Momma's struggle heartstrings. Ryan's momma inherited her husband's companies. She's never been dirt poor either. These are all folks outside the bubble. Now he's straight up lying. If they cut Medicaid the nursing homes will not take in poor patients and families will have to struggle with them at home if they can.

Wake up, America. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaase.

2. About his lies on cutting Medicaid...

"Now he's straight up lying. If they cut Medicaid the nursing homes will not take in poor patients and families will have to struggle with them at home if they can"

I'm confused because I didn't watch his speech.

Who's saying this? Ryan? Or are you calling him out for telling seniors that there won't be any negative effects for them?

5. Yes.

Ryan was straight lying to the seniors about EVERYTHING. I love the way they don't mention opening the recently closed donut hole that helps seniors with their medication costs if they get in and reverse the ACA.

6. Right wing lies work. Repeat it early and often and

people will believe it.

7. When I heard he was bringing his MaMa with him

I thought I'd gag. And to imply that Betty is just your average Grammaw is laughable. It is a pretty well known fact that Ryan's grandfather started a paving business that was quite successful largely due to government contracts. So to imply that Ryan's Mama is anything other than pretty darn rich (if not filthy rich) is laughable on the face of it. Add to the fact that Ryan himself is no slouch at amassing wealth, Betty has no worries about HER future, regardless of whatever happens to her dough. If and when Betty has to enter a nursing home at some time in the future, she will either have her own resources or her son can pick up the tab. If Romney/Ryan have their way and destroy Medicaid (which few people are talking about at this point), there will be NO safety net for those seniors who do not have long term care. (And that is most of us!) So that leaves their children or nieces and nephews, cousins......other relatives.... to pay for nursing home care or take them into their home. That will never be an issue for Betty.

P.S. Show us the tax returns, Mitt. We're still interested in how you made so much moola while the rest of us were tallying our losses.

8. Paul Rien and Mitt Romney have come to depend on suckers to get by in life

Romney's antics of loading companies with debt and then selling them off takes hoodwinking to the level of an art form, the way he's doing a snow job on the electorate in hiding anything about his past.

9. He brought his Mom to protect him

harder for Dems to smash him over his lies cause they'll claim we are attacking his mom. What a freakin' coward. What national politician hides behind their mom?

10. You know how every once in a while the Repubs propose means-testing

Social Security and Medicare? Want to take any bets as to whether Ryan's Mom would qualify?
