    Yeah it looks like Paul Ryans' mom is already tired of watching her son get beat-up by the Obamanation ... [​IMG]

    Paul Ryan Set to Appear With Mom at World’s Largest Retirement Community, Defend Medicare Plan


    WARREN, Ohio ~ Paul Ryan is headed to a Florida retirement community with his mother on Saturday to make his argument about the need to change Medicare for future generations.

    Ryan’s mother is in her late 70s.

    In defending his plan to have private insurers essentially run the program, Ryan made reference to his mother, Betty Douglas, in a 60 Minutes interview on Sunday.
    Douglas, who is in her 70s, lives part of the year in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, a beach community in Florida's Broward County.

    He’ll appear at The Villages, the world’s largest retirement community and a conservative stronghold that is a must stop for Republican candidates.

    In 2008, a massive crowd of between 30,000 and 60,000 seniors came out to a rally Sarah Palin held there.

    Despite the Republican-leanings it’s a clear sign the Romney campaign will continue to stay on the offense on Medicare, but with this trip they may be entering the lion’s den.

    Ryan’s mother, who will accompany him, can help her son connect with the senior citizen audience.
    She lives part of the year in Lauderdale-By-The Sea and part of the year outside of Janesville, Wisconsin.

    But if addressing a group of Florida seniors on Medicare reform is a challenge for Ryan, even as his drastic changes to the program would alter no benefits for those currently over 55, then Ryan is making his pitch to one of the friendliest lion’s dens possible: The Villages is a hotbed of pro-Romney money.

    Romney, retroactively, names August 18, 2012, "Bring Your Elderly Mother to Work Day"

    http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/...18-2012-Bring-Your-Elderly-Mother-to-Work-Day

    In a move political pundits are describing as tactical genius, Mitt Romney has declared his first "Day of Recognition" to help deflect criticism from his running mate, Paul Ryan, who is taking his mother, Betty Douglas, on his trip to Florida, to campaign on Saturday.

    The Romney Campaign said there will be an afternoon whiteboard conference to explain this strategy further.

    And Sarah Palin, her kids(even a baby), her kids kid, or any other woman who dares not be liberal.

    Add another woman to the list of liberals trying to crush in any way possible.

    Yeah and it lasted how long, a few months at most?

    The Palins have been targets of extreme hate since 2008. So yeah as 2 wrongs don't make a right, let's not even compare how each party attacks women on opposing sides. Republican women get way more abused by the left than vice versa.

    I wouldn't know about that, but two wrongs don't make a right, so you're right in that area.
