		<description>Why on earth are Romney and Ryan pushing a Medicare plan that is the exact thing that Governor Walker defeated in Wisconsin?

This is a disaster for Republicans nationally to be pushing for a solution where everyone who is working in 10 years will be told they have to pay for something they will never receive.

Ryan&#039;s Wisconsin did not want to pay for teachers to receive benefits they do not receive.  Ryan was even championing Walker&#039;s solution calling it &quot;immoral&quot; to ask workers to pay for benefits they don&#039;t receive.

Rather than learn from Walker and Wisconsin, the National Republican party has disgraced those of us who supported Walker.

The media needs to call out Romney and Ryan for disgracing us and Governor Walker.</description>

		<description>Romney could have just cruised with negative campaigning on Obama&#039;s record. Choosing Ryan was a bold choice and signaled that he wanted to address real issues. And what&#039;s the Obama campaign&#039;s topic today?----Romney&#039;s tax returns.</description>

		<description>Politicians often lie when they plan to shaft the people, Ryan&#039;s sincere. If you&#039;re a sick senior he&#039;ll dump you from the hospital to the sidewalk.Parallel lives: Paul Martin, Minister of National Health and Welfare from 1946 to 1957, played a central early role in the adoption of hospital insurance and is also remembered as the father of Medicare. National hero in Canada. Paul Ryan, the killer of US Medicare.</description>

		<description>Remember:  If you vote for the comedy team Rob-me and Ryan who will eliminate Medicare (and whose party has been against it from the start and voted against it 5 decades ago), your kids and grand kids will NOT have Medicare--they will be out in the COLD--thanks to the prevaricators Rob-me and Ryan who were for abortion before they were against it, for Obamacare before they were against it, and who have 5 different positions of every issue......................</description>

		<description>Seniors--Don&#039;t be fooled by someone who is afraid to release his taxes so we can see what his actual tax rate is and when he actually worked for Bain... AND if he told the truth.  Hi is obviously hiding something.....and he has SAID he wants to eliminate Medicare as we know it and replace it with a voucher system which is much more expensive.  The dems and Obama have supported Medicare from the strart and the GOP tried desperately to kill Medicare decades ago as they are once again trying to do with Rob-me Ryan.....</description>

		<description>According to the Associated Press, Romney&#039;s Medicare plan will make the program insolvent by 2016.  Yes, 2016!  So seniors, if you want to get rid of Medicare, vote Romney-Ryan.</description>

		<description>Loyal--come on--your two comedians (Rob-me and Ryan) can only fool some of the people.  Rob-me was for abortion before he was against it; then he was for Obamacare before he was against; Ryan said he didn&#039;t take stimulus money --the he said he DID--these guys are true comedians--W.C. Fields would be jealous.  You&#039;d have to have an IQ of 80 to vote for them.....

Rob-me Ryan will replace Medicare as soon as possible with VOUCHERS--which means it will go WAY up in price.  Seniors don&#039;t want Rob-me Ryan CHANGING their Medicare plan and making it more expensive and less effective--but that&#039;s EXACTLY what seniors will get under the Rob-me/Ryan vouchers plan.  There is no reason to change ANYTHING--Medicare is working fine now as it has for decades.  But Rob-me Ryan want eliminate ALL federal programs--they would eliminate Medicare TOMORROW if they thought they could get away with it.  But seniors won’t let them.</description>
