    Oh, wouldn't that be beautiful? 3 debates b/t Biden & Ryan.... couldn't ask for better entertainment than that.

    Looks like Obumma is going to need all the help, support, sympathy and cheerleaders he can muster up and his main cheerleader from 08 is now longer around .... Oprah.

    Gee, wonder what happened to Oprah Winfrey?

    Put your e-penis away. No one wants to see it.

    The topic of the thread is Ryan, who is running for Biden's current job.
    You can't talk about one without talking about the other.

    What the (*)(*)(*)(*) ever dude. You want to talk about Biden? You go knock your socks off. Go for it. You guys can sit around and talk about how much you dislike him.

    Now I am going to discuss things that matter.

    Right. How can people miss this? duhhh!

    Under the Ryan plan people over 55 have no reduction in their Medicare benefits at all so why wouldn't seniors prefer that? More importantly what is Obama doing to save Medicare which will be bankrupt by 2016 (according to it's trustees)?

    Obama, the "Vulture President," is looting Medicare before it goes under. Actually, that's how he's treating ALL of America.

    Strangely, I have encountered many conservative men telling me how attractive Ryan is, and that he'll therefore draw in the women.

    Actual women, however, more often use terms like "Eddie Munster" when describing him.

    It's also fascinating to see all the conservatives here swearing Ryan is good for cutting medicare, but that Obama is bad for cutting medicare. The Mittster has taught it to them well, the art of doing a complete flipflop in a fraction of a second.

    Then apparently you have no clue !

    Under the Ryan plan, Medicare as it now exists is preserved for everyone aged 55 or older. I guess that blows your uninformed comment out of the water ..... maybe you should take a break from here for a spell, as if this place is the apex of one's day, intervention is desperately needed.

    So it is not about any of our current elderly, but rather the younger folks, and their future.

    Romney-Ryan is a slam dunk there.

    Pssst: Obama Biden have no solution. No plan.

    Let me spell it out for you, TFM.

    VICE PRESIDENTS DON'T MAKE POLICY.

    Not Biden... and Not Ryan.

    Get it now? Apples & Apples.

    Careful. Someone will bust a gonad. And someone's chin will be all a mess.

    Not a ******* in Forum that can show us the Obama-Biden solution. (*)(*)(*)(*) them all.

    RomRy's not touching medicare for people over 55. Obama is. Ryan and Romney are trying to save it. Obama is running it into the ground trying to kill it.

    Exactly. Their constant blowing in the wind gets old. Last week, tea partiers were all old codgers... this week those same old codgers are going to turn their backs on Romney because he chose a VP admired by the tea party.

    You need a frigging scorecard to keep up with their nonsense.

    Really? Did I ever say I was going to vote for Biden?

    What is your issue? You seem to be determined to be incorrect and make snotty comments. Can you address the thread topic or simply lob poo?

    Allow me to spell it out for you.

    Your posts are consistently incapable of discussing the topic at hand and instead resort to petty title remarks due to the absence of facts and presence of incredible quantities of partisanship.

    I was discussing the OP. you came in and made a snotty remark. Perhaps you would be better served sticking to your virtual bars and talking about Michelle Obama's fashion rather than venturing into the land of facts.

    Yes, it shifted programs. It shifted it from Medicare, to Obamacare.

    Right.

    Not the same as being gutted. It is not as if there is a sudden absence of the funding.

    Of course it is being gutted. $700 Billion removed from medicare (gutted) given to Obamacare.

    Seniors who have paid into medicare are now seeing that money being moved to people who have not paid anything.

    As are the services provided. If we are going to criticize something, let's do so accurately.

    Right. No one else has paid anything. Just seniors.

    This is perhaps why your argument is a bit of a joke. It is incredibly inaccurate and seems to shun facts rather than be dictated by them.

    No, back to the topic at hand. Will Ryan bring in some seniors? I doubt it. The perception of him is that he will change the current system of Medicare, in my fine opinion.

    Romney rally in Highpoint, NC last Sunday. Appears to be more than a few women & seniors in this crowd of well-dressed, well-behaved supporters. Judging by this crowd, I'd say the OP is right on target.

    It's the truth.
    Obama is going to take $700 billion that was going to be used to fund medical treatment for seniors and instead use it to provide end of life counseling.

    They are not going to be provided. The services are going to be provided for people who do not have insurance coverage and who did not pay into medicare their entire working life.

    So not only does it gut medicare, it slaps those who contributed to it right smack in the face.

    Obama the racist, slapping old white women.
