1. Well it won't get past the senate without cleaning up the garbage first

:D

[Lovette]

3. Thank God for the Senate!

[kentuck]

2. I never thought they were that stupid...

I thought they would actually vote it down. Voting to kill Medicare? And cutting the top tax rate to 25%?? Unbelievable!

[MannyGoldstein]

5. Who ever thought that continued tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires

would make it through? Why should they stop when they've encountered little resistance yet?

[vanbean]

4. "Sinkingfeeling" is about right.

Please don't tell me any democrats voted for this.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

Actually, it would appear by just the raw numbers that a few Republicans voted no

I'm willing to bet big money no Democrats voted yes on this one. Political suicide for any of Democrat, no matter how conservative, to even think of a yes vote on this one.

[create.peace]

13. no dems supported it!

It lost the Republican votes of Walter Jones, Ron Paul, Denny Rehberg, and David McKinley -- every single Democrat voted against it.

6. Which Republicans defected?

Or should that be defecated on the bill?

[Lone_Star_Dem]

9. Answered my own question. All Dems voted no. Republicans defecating on the bill were...

Republicans voting against the Ryan plan were Reps. Ron Paul of Texas, Walter Jones of North Carolina, David McKinley of West Virginia, and Denny Rehberg of Montana.

7. Draconian times right ahead

If this thing comes to reality, we can kiss the United States goodbye

[SteppingRazor]

11. Except it won't. The chances of this passing the Senate are a million to one...

the chances of it overcoming an Obama veto, even less so.

8. And now Dems need to start reminding Ryan of what he said of underfunded health plans for seniors,

just a couple of years ago:

10. 4 Republicans voted No: Ron Paul, Walter Jones, David McKinley, Denny Rehberg.

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/04/15/6478024-ryan-budget-plan-passes-house-only-4-gop-reps-vote-no

Republicans voting against the Ryan plan were Reps. Ron Paul of Texas, Walter Jones of North Carolina, David McKinley of West Virginia, and Denny Rehberg of Montana.

All Democrats voted against the budget.

[LynneSin]

14. I would never vote for Ron Paul but at times he seems to be an ok sort of person

His son could learn a bit from him.

I know Ron Paul is also anti-war - perhaps the senior Paul is more like the old school republicans that were actually truly fiscally conservative and not fundamental nutjobs.

[Major Hogwash]

12. Yee-haw! Let's get this rodeo started!! First up, in chute one, Ryan, ooops, didn't make 8 seconds

Fell off in the chute.
Sorry, pard, better luck next time.
