The Rotary violated our freedom of speech by having Ryan’s opposition silenced and I think its time we let the Rotary know what we think of this SHAMEFUL behavior.

1. There must be some Rotarians who are also DU

members. I am one.

I would suggest that all Rotarians, former and current, call this Rotary club and ask for details about what happened there. Don't object or condemn until asking. But a fellow Rotarian might get through to them better.

2. Paul Ryan Takes A Cheap Shot At An Elderly Man ... Freedom of Speech ... NOT

Paul Ryan Takes A Cheap Shot At An Elderly Man

Citizens in Wisconsin are not happy with Paul Ryan's double talk about the economy. People want their congressman to focus on jobs, but all we get is Republican repetition regarding the holy dyad of lowering taxes for the wealthy and "reforming" entitlements. That seems the best they can do these days, and folks are getting impatient.

.
Ryan is his own bobble head: back and forth, back and forth, lower taxes, reform entitlements, back and forth. However, yesterday, at his $15 a ticket lunch, a number of folks weren't having it any more. Ryan had been dodging them for weeks during his annual staged performance of statewide listening. Protestors showed up at his Rotary pay-per-view in Greenfield. They paid their fifteen dollars, and hoped to be heard.


Paul Ryan with the eyes of a Labrador Retriever looking for a Liv-a Snaps, explains, "Most of our debt, in the Future, comes from our entitlement programs."

From the back of the room comes a loud comment, "Hey! What is this you're trying to pull? I paid into this for fifty years with my unemployment and my social security … and my medicare, and now you're gonna… ..I'm on the ground, I'm on the ground…"

Ryan jokes, "I hope he's taking his blood pressure medication!" and gets a good Rotarian laugh from the crowd.

Welcome to the floor, Mr. Seventy One Year Old Citizen! We can all laugh at you now.

This, then, Mr. Ryan, is your "new normal" for Wisconsin: a concerned elderly citizen, frustrated because you won't meet with anyone who doesn't agree with you, gets invited by your minions to forcefully meet the hard hallway, to experience the floor horizontally, while you get off a cute comedy club quip.

Keep it classy, Congressman! I, too, hope he has his meds. I hope we all have our necessary meds. Because we certainly won't be affording them if your reformist wet dreams are realized. And lord knows we need to be taking something to make sense of your intransigent policies!

4. "Democracy was getting old anyway."

:sarcasm:

See how much the conservanazis are doing to "protect" our rights.

Now, remember this: Ryan has been on the public tit for a majority of his adult life.

Point that out at one of his "town hall" meetings, if you get the chance to speak.


Good luck with that conservanazi rat bastard.

6. Thanks. Correct. Ryan is a POS.

He's been living off the public tit most of his adult life.
