The REAL Reason Paul Ryan Got Booed:

[theKed]

It's not because he's an immoral Randian shill, whose machinations are transparent to the seniors depending on Medicare. No! They're in on the scam! Those crafty seniors!

There's an article over on Free Republic which is referencing this article from Forbes:

Obamacare cuts $716 billion from Medicare in order to pay for its $1.9 trillion expansion of coverage to low-income Americans. It’s one of the reasons why seniors are more opposed to the new health law than any other age group. So why is it that the group that purports to speak for seniors, the American Association of Retired Persons, so strongly supports a law that most seniors oppose? According to an explosive new report from Sen. Jim DeMint (R., S.C.), it’s because those very same Medicare cuts will give the AARP a windfall of $1 billion in insurance profits, and preserve another $1.8 billion that AARP already generates from its business interests....

C'mon repubs, just admit your boys' plan sucks.

1. Just because AARP is a slimy front for insurance companies

doesn't mean that Paul Ryan is anything but an ignorant little rich kid who thinks he can kick senior citizens in the teeth and still get them to vote for him.

It is possible that the management of AARP represents a bunch of greedy bloodsuckers and Ryan is pushing a plan that benefits the same greedy bloodsuckers. It's the membership of AARP who will get screwed if Ryan's proposals ever see the light of day. And they're smart enough to realize it.
