Congressman Ryan gets called out on his own bullshit. ;)
Paul Ryan on upper income taxes

That fucking moron needs to read history and PAY attention since he says its so important. The economy BOOMed during the 20s after tax rates were cut. What people dont understand about the Great Depression is that it wasnt the stock market crash that caused it. It was the REACTION to the crash that caused it. The unemployement rate went up after the crash to about 9%, then went back down to 6 % . Hoover passes SMOOT HAWTLEY, jackes up minimum wages, raises taxes, and the unemployment rate goes up to 25%.

Its amazing how parasites who pay nothing complain about those who do.

Weren't there a bunch of YouTube videos posted a while ago about how bad the people were being at those ObamaCare townhalls and that they were all Republican robots or planted audience members?
In that context I find this threads premise a tad amusing.

Meh, a bunch of Democrats voicing their stupidity. Nothing of importance here. NEXT!!!!

yeah, plants happen from both sides all the tiem, i'm sure. the repub gov walker said he considered the use of VIOLENT protesters. So the idea of protesters booing should be pretty easy and common to fake.
you slap an obama shirt on 5 idiots, pay them $100 to boo during the national anthem for the cnn cameras, and voila... drudge runs with it and rush is on it, and morons are talking about it on message boards for months.
rachel maddow (no hotness) did a nice piece last year on a 'grassroots' movement - showed that many of the random people had worked on repub campaigns that year.

So these were all democrat plants that decided to sit in on Ryan's town hall? lol Give me a break. ::)
Poll: Tax hike before Medicare cuts
By: Jennifer Epstein

Most Americans oppose the big spending cuts that many in Washington see as necessary to bring down the budget deficit, a new poll suggests, but they do support one idea for deficit reduction that President Barack Obama has pushed for years raising taxes on the rich.
Only small slivers of the group of Americans surveyed for a Washington Post/ABC News poll released Wednesday said they support cuts to Medicare and Medicaid 21 percent and 30 percent, respectively and cuts to defense spending get the support of 42 percent of those surveyed. Seventy-eight percent of Americans are opposed to Medicare cuts, while 69 percent are opposed to Medicaid cuts.
The potential solution to the debt crisis that gets the strongest support is raising taxes on Americans who make $250,000 or more annually, an idea that Obama campaigned on in 2008, backed away from last year to make a legislative deal with Republicans but has returned to as hes begun discussing his vision for long-term fiscal responsibility. Of those surveyed, 72 percent said they support tax increases on people with incomes of more than $250,000, including 54 percent who strongly support them. Twenty-seven percent are opposed, including 17 percent strongly.

hahahahah!!
People been doing that forever. The fact nobody was really that surprised or outraged when a governor said he considered the use of violent protesters - well, that shows everyone knows this goes on.
Anytime I see something that's just too Drudge photo-op friendly, i have to wonder. I mean, wearing on obama shirt, with a sign that says "Michelle Obama is right!" while booing the national anthem... it's just too perfect.
Same with the right. When you see a fat bald tea party guy, holding a sign with a racist slur spelled incorrectly, blowing snot rockets while chanting "Tell the gob-mint to stay outta my medicare!"..... I mean, that shit can't be real.

Like julio and peggy?

Yeah, I'm close enough to DC that I've seen it a good bit. Never seen anybody paid for it, but it wouldn't surprise me.
