Sean Duffy “Paul Ryan’s Budget was GOOOOOLD” (AUDIO link of a Republican strategy session below)

http://www.politiscoop.com/us-politics/wisconsin-politics/1529-sean-duffy-paul-ryan-s-budget-was-gooooold.html

Wausau Wisconsin – Raw Video of a Republican strategy session held in Wausau Saturday was released this evening and “Struggling Sean Duffy”, struggled to contain himself while speaking to the Republican echo chamber.

It is no secret when Republicans talk about Democrats that they are more times than not speaking about themselves. It’s straight out of the Karl Rove play book which says “When speaking of your opponent, talk about your weaknesses as if they were your opponent’s weakness”.

Duffy spoke to those gathered today by saying Democrats believe a “representative democracy is too complicated” and continued with “This elite group of Bureaucrats” has gone so far left. Sean Duffy pandered to his base in giddy vocal tone when he spoke about Paul Ryan’s Medicare killing budget. Duffy stated “If you look at the budget that, ah, we put out in the house, some will say its Paul Ryan’s budget. Uh….it was goooold!.”

Someone forgot to tell Duffy that yesterday, while speaking to an audience of seniors at the AARP’s annual conference in New Orleans, vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan was booed for his “Repeal Obamacare” speech. The speech came just as the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services released a new report that shows the Affordable Health Care Act will save the average person with Medicare $5,000 from 2010-2022.

In repealing Obamacare, Romney would immediately eliminate these kinds of services. Asked by CNN if Romney supported free preventive care, Romney campaign press secretary Andrea Saul said no.
