Subscribe to RSSOn Friday, social conservatives gathered in Washington, D.C. at the Annual Values Voter Summit. NBC's Domenico Montanaro reports.
Updated 1:02 p.m. - WASHINGTON -- Paul Ryan added a personal dimension to his attacks on President Barack Obama, using his own Catholic faith to criticize the president for having impinged upon the freedom of religion.
In a speech before activists at the annual Values Voter Summit -- interrupted twice by hecklers -- Ryan leveled attacks on Obama's foreign, economic and social policy.
"In the president’s telling, government is a big, benevolent presence -- gently guiding our steps at every turn. In reality, when government enters the picture, private institutions are so often brushed aside with suspicion or even contempt," Ryan said at the annual Values Voter Summit. "This is what happened to the Catholic Church and Catholic Charities this past January, when the new mandates of Obamacare started coming."
Sasha Issenberg the Washington Correspondent for Monocle, columnist for Slate and author of The Victory Lab joins The Daily Rundown to talk about the secret science behind winning campaigns…it's more complex than you think.
The Republican vice presidential nominee continued: "Never mind your own conscience, they were basically told, from now on you’re going to do things the government’s way. Ladies and gentlemen, you would be hard pressed to find another group in America that does more to serve the health of women and their babies than the Catholic Church and Catholic Charities. And now, suddenly, we have Obamacare bureaucrats presuming to dictate how they will do it."

Ryan, who had agreed to address the nearly 2,000 person conference prior to being named as Mitt Romney's running mate, assured the crowd a Romney administration would give freedom back to religious institutions. Republicans have argued religious freedom has come under "attack" under the Obama administration, particularly due to a regulation requiring employers to cover contraception as part of their health insurance, even if it is an employer affiliated with a religion that might have philosophical objections to the use of contraception.
"As Governor Romney has said, this mandate is not a threat and insult to one religious group -- it is a threat and insult to every religious group. He and I are honored to stand with you -- people of faith and concerned citizens -- in defense of religious liberty," he said. “And I can assure you, when Mitt Romney is elected, we will get to work on day one to repeal that mandate and all of Obamacare.“
The House majority leader, Eric Cantor (R-VA), echoed this theme during his remarks at the event co-hosted by the Family Research Council.
"Sadly today, as a result of Obamacare, many of our fellow Americans are now being forced to take our government to court, to sue them, to sue our government in order to practice our faith. Now this is not what America is about and this is why we must repeal Obamacare once and for all," Cantor said, adding: "This is why we need a president and a senate who will stand up with us – who will stand strong for religious freedom."

Religion wasn't the only focus of Ryan's nearly 30-minute speech. He also wadded into foreign policy just three days after the attacks on the US consulate in Libya and US embassy in Egypt.
"Look across that region today, and what do we see? The slaughter of brave dissidents in Syria. Mobs storming American embassies and consulates. Iran four years closer to gaining a nuclear weapon. Israel, our best ally in the region, treated with indifference bordering on contempt by the Obama administration," Ryan said.
"Amid all these threats and dangers, what we do not see is steady, consistent American leadership. In the days ahead, and in the years ahead, American foreign policy needs moral clarity and firmness of purpose," he continued. "Only by the confident exercise of American influence are evil and violence overcome. That is how we keep problems abroad from becoming crises. That is what keeps the peace. And that is what we will have in a Romney-Ryan administration."
The Daily Rundown's Chuck Todd breaks out the decision app to take a look at campaign spending and takes a look at, if spending was the deciding factor on the road to 270, who would win.
There was no shortage in Ryan’s speech of new, quick attack lines on President Obama, either.
“No politician is more skilled at striking heroic poses against imaginary adversaries,” Ryan claimed. “Nobody is better at rebuking nonexistent opinions. Barack Obama does this all the time, and in this campaign we are calling him on it.”
Obama spokesman Danny Kanner responded: "Mitt Romney chose Paul Ryan to be his running mate because he’s the intellectual leader of the Republican Party. That leadership included a budget that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops said failed a ‘basic moral test.’ Today, speaking at a values summit, he unleashed a series of over-the-top, dishonest attacks against the President that once again reminded voters that he’s just not ready for prime time. In the not too distant past, Mitt Romney and Congressman Ryan said they wanted a serious debate on substantive issues. We’re still waiting."

Can someone please explain to me why someone who hates our evil government as much as Lyin/Ryan does, has never held a job outside of it?
He has served 14 years in Congress during which time, with a whole bunch of hard work and dedication, he managed to pass 2 bills! lol
One was to name a post office and the other had something to do with arrows & taxes!
Yet, we pay this clown, $179,000 per year with full benefits to work 9 days a month at a job he hates so much?
Let's give the little guy some relief and send him to a career he would be happy in, instead of one he seems to suffer at so much!
Feisty: I will tell you that when you can tell my what went wrong with the Catholic church, I had to leave.
Obama/Biden 2012
Yes and isn't it interesting that he has passed two budgets through the house in the last 2 years and the president hasn't gotten even 1 yes vote on his.
Congress isn't just about passing bills and creating more regulations. THANK GOD!
Are the Catholic Bishops still after this marathoner Lyin?
Don't forget Lyin/Ryan claims to not eat sugar either... well, until he got caught on tape stuffing his face with a doughnut! lol
Just24,
As are the Nuns on a Bus
I guess Catholic Lyin only
@!$%#his wife when they want to make babies and the rest times they masturbate even that is sin. Lord have mercy.What part of separation of church and state don't these fools understand? If you are a church and want to run a univiersity, expect to follow the same requirements of other universities. Don't like it, don't start a university.
Paul Ryan is currently being HOUNDED by Catholic nuns, priest and bishops for his "Immoral" budget which cruelly hurts and deprives the middle class low income Americans.
Ryan and Romney lied aggregiously about Medicare, which this President expanded and strengthened.
President Obama extended the life of Medicare, while under RomneyRyan, it will end in 2016, after they "Kill" Obamacare. Under the GOP candidates, Medicaid will die soon after that.
Paul Ryan should stop touting himself as a Catholic. Catholics have many penances for different kinds of lies. The priest will be blushing as well, when Ryan gets around to admitting them ALL to himself.
Looks like Paul "cupcake" Ryan has his " panties " in a twist again !
money! money! money! that is his belief system, his only belief system, and he will steam roll anyone who gets in the way.
Laugh Out Loud.
This from the idiot who touted Ayn Rand until the nuns and the bishops called him out.
What this guy knows about charity would EASILY fill the pointy end of a needle.
And he still touts Ayn Rand, but now he denies it.
Begone, Mr. Ryan, you have no power here.
Amy,
Paul Ryan made reading Ayn Rand's books obligatory for his political staff.
And he did that for YEARS - no matter what Ryan says today. Rand was Ryan's posthumous mentor, and he spoke publicly about her many times.
Anyone not making the big time, was a 'moocher' according to Ayn Rand. Including seniors on Medicare, or anyone needing any kind of assistance.
Which explains why Vulture/Voucher will 'Kill" the ACA given the chance. Killing Obamacare would end both Medicare and Medicaid within a few years. Then they'll be rid of the all moochers for good - right?
And what a world it will be then, Backhouse. I can't wait. The elderly will be competing with young people till they die for dirt jobs that will pay for medical care. When Medicaid goes, their nursing homes will be street corners and the undersides of bridges.
And what do I mean by "their," anyway? I'll be in that position some day. We all will.
By the way, Ryan hasn't given up Ayn Rand. But when you ask him about it, you just don't understand him.
Funny thing, nobody seems to understand him.
What we know is that Paul Ryan is from a very privileged background - for starters, his great-grandfather started up a road, rail, later highway business in the 1880's.
He has been in politics all his working life. He claims to be Catholic but shows none of the concern for the less fortunate in that tradition. And he is being called out for it.
He wrote a terrible 'Immoral" budget that GOP voted for in lockstep.
Ryan's budget would put $10Trillion on the deficit.
The Ryan plan would voucherize and end Medicare. The death of Medicaid would follow after.
They put him up for V-P as a "numbers guy", but his numbers are completely terrifying for everyone but the very wealthy.
Thank you Feisty for POINTING OUT THE OBVIOUS ON "LYIN' RYAN"
By the same token, maybe someone can explain to us why a guy with so many wealthy contributors, only attacks the one rich guy who's running against him, as not having paid enough in taxes?
Let's ask Obama, and HIS wealthy friends to pay more taxes. I don't see any of them volunteering to pay anything beyond what the law says they should pay, and I don't see Obama criticizing his best pals for not paying their fair share.
Obama says he's fired up and ready to go......so, let's FIRE HIM, and SEND HIM ON HIS WAY back to Chicago!
DEMOCRATS FOR ROMNEY 2012
Talking Points,
You're more than welcome!
It's just to "easy"... ;o)
Oops, I just puked on Paul Ryan. I think Paul Ryan ought to give us the address of where we women can go to receive this "health care" at which Catholic Church, and where?
Paul Ryan should know that it is a sin upon the Catholic Church to try to use the church for political gain.
Furthermore, Paul Ryan is an outrageous liar. The Catholic Church does not allow the use of any type of birth control, ANY TYPE, and of course abortions are strictly prohibited. In fact, any act whatsoever that would tend to interfere with God's devine plan is prohibited by the Catholic Church.
I sure don't know what he's talking about the Catholic Church does for women's health, because I sure haven't ever been able to go to church and get a pap smear, or a mammogram, or a pregnancy test, or even a vitamin for that matter.
Jump in the lake Paul "Lyin" Ryan!
Obama/Biden 2012
Feisty, Paul Ryan would NOT dream of leaving Government! In fact, Paul Ryan is running for TWO political positions this fall; Vice President AND he's running for re-election to keep his House Seat.
In fact, Paul Ryan's entire family estate, which he is set to inherit, was ALL BUILT on Government Money, oh yes OUR taxpayer dollars!
He's one of the folks that the First Lady was speaking about at the Democratic Convention when she spoke about the benefits of Government and how some (like Paul Ryan) had built their fortuntes with the help of Government and now want to close that door so that no one else could reap of those same benefits.
Pisses me off!
Just like health care. Now that Paul Ryan and HIS FAMILY has their "Cadillac Plan" of full coverage for anything and everything for the rest of their lives, all paid for by "We the People" he can't stand the thought that every American might have safe Affordable Health Care, even though whatever the People get STILL won't be as good as what HE has, he wants US to pay for HIS, but he doesn't want anything to do with paying for ours!
Obama/Biden 2012
American Girl,
Let's not forget how he sucked off the gubment teat by collecting social security he didn't need!
He got his... now he wants to screw everyone else!
Now the "devout" Catholic is raising a whole new generation of little liars...
Hey "feisty" why don't you GET OFF that FAT ASS of yours and get a JOB instaed of the FREE CHEESE , Welfare Checks, Food Stamps and Medicaid you depend on ???
And Turn Off that RED LIGHT you have on ALL Night......
American Girl, the Catholic Church owns many hospitals and medical centers where one can get the help they need. Although the church is opposed to some of what these women are all about they don't sit in judgement but leave that to a higher power. What the Catholic people do is show compassion and generosity toward others especially for those who are in greatest of need.
"Whatever you do to the least of my brothers, you do unto me". Do unto others as you would have done unto you.
Adler, I am Roman Catholic and have been since I was 5 days old.
I asked for an address, city or state, name of the Church, anything that would tell a woman where she can go to acquire these services, because I know, there aren't any that provide "health services for women" at least nowhere around where I live.
Got an address? a name? a city or state? If so, let's have it.
Obama/Biden 2012
where is the article on the new downgrade of our govt???? obozo and bernake, the real downgrade team.
hows it feel knowing it wasnt a tea party downgrade and they specified it was the reckless feckless spending of obozo and co!!??
what a bumbling idiot!
oh yeah carney, ACTIONABLE INTELLIGENCE? please go away you TOOL! LIAR! MURDERER!
THE SHAME! breitbart has the real stories you wont show, losers!
too bad for ryan, their are nuns discounting him
Nitt-Witt Mitt RoMONEY and Lyin' Ryan are two "Bobble-Heads." They have NO IRON. They are nothing but pinheads graveling for anything to hang on to. Those two have a combined number of, "zilch" experience in "Foreign Policy." They have thrust themselves into the "Political Sea" and no one (not even their own Party) wants to throw them a life preserver. Every time they open their mouths, they just suck in more "BP Oil Spill" water. Someone ought to "pump" them--they'd be rich with spewed crap!
RoMONEY and Lyin' Ryan said, "All hell is breaking loose in the Middle East." NO...all HELL "breaking loose" is all the lives lost in 9/11, Iraq and Afghanistan.
If Jeb Bush didn't "FIX" the 2000 Election, Al Gore would have won. And if Al Gore was President, 9/11 would NOT have happened. And if 9/11 wouldn't have happened, WE would not have gone to war (in the wrong country, no less.) And if we had not gone to war, the deficit would have been on schedule to be "balanced" by 2012--by NOW.
The only people who should be "housed" in Guantanamo should be: Bush (Dubya), Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove and Libby.
Romney: Favors U.S.-Mexico border fence, opposes education benefits to illegal immigrants. Opposes offering legal status to illegal immigrants who attend college,
Romney will allow people to serve in the Military then he might let you in. Vote OBAMA
Lyin Ryan is just one more corporate lapdog that the gop trots out like zombie robots. Rmoney didn't even have a choice in selecting lyin, the koch boys paid to get their puppet selected. Americans are rejecting the corporate welfare state takeover the republicans have been forcing America into since reagan started it. Lets boot them all out in November.
Paul Ryan is such a Pharisee, he'd throw Jesus under a chariott to keep his government job.
My ancestors fought and died so I wouldn't have to be governed by the likes of Brother Ryan and Bishop Romney. He is not qualified to preach to me, either. President Obama is closer to embodying my religious beliefs, anyway. I am a Congregationailist.
Aren't Catholics still free to not actually use birth control?
It's not about freedom Da Noid, it's about Catholics telling everybody else how to act and how to think. Ryan pretends to be a Catholic hoping to get the Catholic vote, but anybody that lies as much as Ryan does, and hates as much as Ryan does, is not a Catholic. To listen to Ryan, he's every denomination there is except Muslim. He even tries to be human once in awhile.
Da Noid
Aren't Catholics still free to not actually use birth control?
They have been for years, but once the 4Th kid comes along, the economics of raising kids makes you use something.
As I listened to Paul Ryan, I can't help thinking, what a terrible example he is setting for his children. Teaching them to lie and to hate those that think differently. This I can assure you is not the Catholic way. The nuns and priests who taught him, must really wonder about him. The home he grew up in failed him, for those ways are taught at a young age and example reinforces what is taught.
"They have been for years, but once the 4Th kid comes along, the economics of raising kids makes you use something."
I heard somewhere that aspirin works.
Two liars together, Cantor and Lyin Ryan.....
Your legislative efforts say you do not stand strong for freedom on any level, least of all religious!
I can just Lyin being attacked by a bus full of Nuns with rulers...Karma at it's finest!
Paul hates the government except when he cashes his government check. Folks Paul is part of the government he pretends to hate.
Paul also is a all for government bail out of wall street and corporate subsidies!
The very definition of hypocrit
Young Ryan is channeling his fourteen years as a politcal insider.
"Oh and if I lose with Romney, please vote or me back home in my district, I love Congress and need a job."
It's pretty ironic Ryan is pouring money into his race for the House. He is afraid to risk losing the only job he's ever had (besides driving a weinermolble) on the chance Romney will win his election.
I'm surprised joining the free market is such scary stuff to a big brave Ayn Rand fan. Doesn't he want to prove he's got what it takes to be a businessman?
Maybe Romney can put in a good word for Lyin' Ryan at Bain! Jeez, and to think these two are considered the GOP "brain trust'! Ha! ;-)
Obama/Biden 2012
After reading this latest stuff from Rep. Ryan, I need to ask this again - Does this man own any guns? For safety's sake I certainly hope not.
When Little paulie was talking about Iran he forgot to say that the republican idol Ronald Raygun had sold guns to Iran. Ask ollie north he was the salesman. Oh how they forget.
This is a quote from Paul Ryan today in a speech.
No it's not. That's just a lie you have been tricked into repeating by the Obama propaganda machine.
Sorry Kannin but he actually said it. I couldn't believe he said it either but he did. Just Google Ryan's speech to the social conservatives. First honest thing Ryan's said sense he was announced to be Willard's VP.
I did. Sorry, that "quote" was never said. It's just another Obama campaign lie.
By that statement Kannin it's obvious you didn't read the speech. You're just making false statements that you did.
Mo - you have been asked repeatedly for a source and you can't provide one. Give it up.
Kannin are you even awake? Why do you keep asking for something you've already have? And then claim you don't have it.
No Mo. You have been caught in a blatant lie. Your hysterical denials won't help you. Everyone knows what you are now.
To be fair, what he actually said is this: "These vital questions should be decided, not by the caprice of unelected judges, but by the conscience of the people and their elected representatives"

However, we have seen laws passed that are so heinous, passed by so called Compassionate Conservatives, that the Courts strike them down based on Constitutional grounds, just like was decided by the SCOTUS concerning abortion. Obviously, he does not like the fact that the 3rd leg of our Government with Equal Power to the Executive and Legislative is the Courts, which have struck down such misbegotten ideas like Ryan's, on CONSTITUTIONAL grounds.
Essentially the paraphrasing is correct, even if stretched a little bit. There is your proof of statement and a link.
Have a great day!
Kannin - he said it. Get over the fact that you're supporting a total moron!
Obama/Biden 2012
SS - Only in your warped liberal mind is the phrase "male politicians like me elected to office" equivalent to "conscience of the people and their elected representatives"
kannin, semantics, but its a gotcha moment, tyranny of the majority muddle minded. No thanks, why can't the ryan's of the world stay out of peoples bedrooms and anatomy?
Obama 2012
Wow! Well-said! and so true.
You watched Paul's speech but you seem to have missed this Kannin. And I quote "Women's issues shouldn't be decided by judges or courts or women, women's issues should be decided by male politicians like me elected to office". What did you do cover your ears or just ignore it?
Mo - that "quote" was never said. It's just another Obama campaign lie. And you continually repeating it just confirms the impression that intelligent people have that Obama's entire campaign is built on lies repeated by left-wing tools.
If you'd take the time to actually read the speech Kannin you'd see you are wrong again. I know you don't want to hear the truth. It's there for everyone to read, even you Kannin.
Kannin.....
"Look across that region today, and what do we see? The slaughter of brave dissidents in Syria. Mobs storming American embassies and consulates.
“No politician is more skilled at striking heroic poses against imaginary adversaries,” Ryan claimed. “Nobody is better at rebuking nonexistent opinions. Barack Obama does this all the time, and in this campaign we are calling him on it.”
Are the mobs imaginary? Seems like members of the imaginary mob killed four very real Americans. And weren't those imagined individuals once part of a group of brave dissidents?
Seems to me that the only thing imagined is the notion that Obamacare is forcing Church affiliated corporations to do something they find unconscionable. If it is unconscionable why didn't they voice their concerns long ago in the 26 states that have a similar mandate?
"At least 26 states have laws requiring insurers that cover prescription drugs also provide coverage for any Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved contraceptive. These states include: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin. An additional two states—Michigan and Montana—require insurance coverage of contraceptives as a result of administrative ruling or an Attorney General opinion. "
Do you see Wisconsin? Isn't that Ryan's state?
From someone that lives his life in his own private fantasyland of lies, that's a rather bold statement! Would be great to know what the he!! he's talking about!
Obama/Biden 2012
Ask Kannin Layton, he pretends to know what Paul is talking about.
Can you tell us what was well said and so true Kannin? Other than re-quoting what Paul said. Explain the meaning of what Paul said.
OK. Good example is the death of bin Laden. Obama claimed credit for killing this bad guy.
But he failed to give credit to Bush for toppling the entire fundamentalist theocracy of the Taliban in Afghanistan. Their iron grip on the country was brutal, especially against women. Bush changed that.
Changing the entire government of a country is, by any measure, a far more significant accomplishment than killing one aging straggler from the organization that President Bush defeated. Then Obama crowed that it was the "high point in my presidency!"
In fairness, I agree with him – it was the high point in his otherwise-failed presidency.
In other words you have nothing Kannin.
Dear Kannin,
1) the nearly $5Trillion spent by Bush on all the wars WAS PREDICATED on the Bin Laden/Al Qaida involvement in 9/11 WHICH WAS A LIE!
2) Unless you want to personally go over, the Taliban are coming BACK and going to be part of the NEW Afgan government because it seems the population are not courageous enough to stand up for themselves and America cannot continue to NATION BUILD on the backs of the US taxpayers any longer than the decade or so we've been there.
3) Please look up The American Century - the guys who brought you the Bush wars of choice financed by the American taxpayers to acquire the Iraqi oil fields that also didn't happen.
Jeff S - Are you calling Obama a liar? Just last week he bragged "We’ve blunted the Taliban’s momentum in Afghanistan"
Jeff S
Were you meaning to say that OBL/Al Qaeda's link to Iraq was a lie (which it was)? I'm pretty sure OBL/Al Qaeda had something to do with 9/11.
lyin ryan, he'll cary that the rest of his life
The Mandate is ACTUALLY protecting the freedom that you are accusing it of infringing upon, Ryan. A lie repeated over and over again will never be the truth.
If these Religious organizations don't want to offer their employees the OPTION of obtaining birth control through their employee benefits then maybe said organization shouldn't be employing people. <----period
Mr. Ryan is doing a good job of being an attack dog but he actually has no bite when the facts are thrown at him. Especially when it comes to foreign policy. I mean if his statement is right we'll be looking at a draft just to cover the amount of soldiers and warriors if we want to show the type of "American Exceptionalism" that they like to bring to the world.
With the failure in the middle east approach of leading from behind. Ignoring Isreal. Attacking religion. Time for a change in the White house!!!
john, failure in the middle east, well we could invade all 18 countries nuke'em, turn the place into glass, that should cure what ails the middle east. However, take a gander at the following, its not the first time we have lost diplomats:
Markos/DailyKos:
Donald Rumsfeld: The attacks on our embassies & diplomats are a result of perceived American weakness. Mitt Romney is right to point that out. — @RumsfeldOffice via Twitter for iPhone
Donald Rumsfeld was Secretary of
WarDefense between 2001 and 2006, so none of this should be news to him:June 14, 2002, U.S. consulate in Karachi, Pakistan
Suicide bomber kills 12 and injures 51.
February 20, 2003, international diplomatic compound in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Truck bomb kills 17.
February 28, 2003, U.S. consulate in Karachi, Pakistan
Gunmen on motorcycles killed two consulate guards.
July 30, 2004, U.S. embassy in Taskkent, Uzbekistan
Suicide bomber kills two.
December 6, 2004, U.S. consulate in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
Militants stormed and occupied perimeter wall. Five killed, 10 wounded.
March 2, 2006, U.S. consulate in Karachi, Pakistan
Suicide car bomber killed four, including a U.S. diplomat directly targeted by the assailants.
Remember old Ronnie Reagan=Beirut, over 250 Marines killed, Ronnie Reagan=Iran Contra, arms for hostages, USS Cole, 17 Killed=Bush.
Take your pick, your memory is very selective.
Obama 2012

I'm not sure who's ignoring Israel. Israel has also done horrific things to the Palestinians, which is mainly ignored by right wingers, likely due to the Palestinians being an Islamic state. Israel is our ally, but only a fool would overlook that ally's inhumane treatment of its neighbor/cohabitant.
It is interesting to see and hear Paul Ryan tell us every chance he gets about the EVILS OF BIG GOVERNMENT, COMING FROM A MAN who has LIVED ON BIG GOVERNMENT ALL of his Adult Life. He has a Cadillac Health Care and Retirement that is bar none paid for by Tax Payers. The Very people he like to tell us HOW BAD Our Government is in our lives if you need help with CUT, CUT, CUT, for Taxpayers, and PROTECT, PROTECT, the Rich with no Taxes and Regulations.
Ryan wants to CONTROL WOMEN'S Bodies. I want to know why he and his wife only HAVE 3 CHILDREN. Ryan should have at least 10 children, since rape, incest, and no contraceptives should be the law of the land, according to his Ayn Ryn, Catholic Up bringing. Which begs the question, where was his OUTRAGE ON all of the MOLESTATIONS by the Catholic Priests? Talk about protecting the Children, suppose that was too much BIG GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE.
If Ryan is the GOP FUTURE, then the GOP HAS NO FUTURE or a BENCH if Ryan is their STANDARD BEARER, and their SHINING EXAMPLE OF HYPOCRISY and Lies.
I think it's time for Ryan to cancel he and his family's government paid healthcare, he obviously hates it so much when the government takes care of citizens. Otherwise, everything he says is 100% hypocritical.
What? Eddie Munster lying again? What a shocker!! Exactly WHO is surprised by this fact? Eddie will lie when the truth would do. Ditto for Richie Rich. These two clowns aren't leading from either the front or back. They aren't leading at all! Neither one of them could pour water out of a boot, even if the instructions were on the bottom of the heel. Tweedledum and Tweedledee--THIS is the best the Teapublicans could do? Seriously?
Ryan is excellent with a dog whistle and short on actually being honest. Career politician, term limits anyone, what a putzer our boy ryan. Still none of his business what I do or not do with my body: My Incubator, My choice, My Bedroom, vote for the ratso twins be ready for granny going over the cliff and ryan will make sure that there is a Uterus cop in every Docs. office, make sure the little lady knows what's good for her.
Obama 2012
"no politician is more skilled at striking heroic poses against imaginary adversaries" Paul Ryan actually is referring to himself in this recent comment of his.....lets send these guys on an imaginary mission somewhere other than here! they are really good at imagining things these days...whatever they are smoking should be recalled!
Ryan is just repeating what Romney said....they both have not a clue related to foreign policy. But wait, I just read on CNN site that Romney said that President Obama will LIE during the debate(s). WTH ??!?!? Is this man for real ??? Romney is the biggest liar I have ever heard !!!! Why can't he just go away and take the other liar with him. Romney/Ryan will not win this election !!! OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
MSNBC is so one-sided. I don't know why I even think Ican find fair and factual information here. I rarely post but feel compelled to do so today. How do people have so much time to do this all day? It is usually the same people over and over with the same whiny, small minded, self serving comments who feel they need to speak the loudest and the most often.
(MS) NBC.... It's the same company that didn't honor Americans who died on 9/11 by having a Kris Jenner's breast augmentation segment shown rather than a moment of silence on the "Today Show" this week and it is the same company who's reporters doctored the 911 recording of Treyvon Martin shooting in March to look racist and incite rage. (You can google both of those if you don't believe me.). Al Shapiro and another reporter were also caught on tape conspiring to ambush Romney with a certain series of questions during a press conference this week. On 9/11 Over 9 minutes of airtime was spent criticizing Romney's "criticism of Obama" but only 50 seconds of airtime was spent by the president discussing our actions against the terrorists, and he stood there and apologized in front of the world to the MUSLIMS. His Secretary of State KNEW this was going to happen 48 hours ahead of time. It was a well executed plan with a "movie outrage" smoke screen. (read the European papers for that story because our administration doesn't want you to know about that). Our real allies think we are a bunch of idiots.
And Obama is out on the campaign trail trying so hard to be LIKED instead of standing strong for American freedoms. Really? I don't want to LIKE my President and our current government, I want to RESPECT my President. And I just can't do that with the state of our economy and the state of our national security.
One of our freedoms is to be able to speak our mind without being killed for it. I have never EVER seen Christians go on a killing spree because a FILM was produced that burned the bible or talked poorly about the Christian faith. Yes, the Christians had their Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition, but that was hundreds if not thousands of years ago....... THIS is the 21st century, how can behavior that is clearly still in the dark ages be tolerated by anyone??? Have we not learned ANYTHING by now??????
Campaign tour stops: Vegas, Letterman, The Pimp with the Limp in Miami? No one is going to ask you the hard questions there, are they? But the White House Press Corp might, so don't have any press conferences, or when you do, don't allow anyone to ask you questions. If he was an effective president, he would have NO need to campaign. We would all be lining up to vote for him. But I am not better off, are you?
The comments by the Democrats are ALWAYS about the "lying republicans" but the democrats are NEVER at fault, are they? It is so much easier to point fingers at others rather than looking in a mirror and owning up to your own mistakes. When will you ever say "maybe we did do something to cause this?" "Maybe our spending really is out of control, or our foreign policy needs to be unwavering"? Instead you just attack and blame - character assassinations, name calling, denigration, diversion tactics.
Did you know that the very "voucher system" that you protest by the Republican administration has ALREADY started by this current administration, for the poorest people on Medicare - and they have no choice about it. You can google it too of you don't believe me. You are hypocrites to the highest degree.
As for the "WAR ON WOMEN", Ryan nor the Republicans want to control your body, ladies Get a grip. The Catholic church doesn't want to control your bodies. Their stance on abortion and birth control is an IDEOLOGY, not a mandate. Nobody is standing over you forcing you to have a baby. Seriously..... You still have the free will to do what you want. The church just isn't going to pay for it. And they shouldn't have to! Nor should I, Suzy Taxpayer, have to. It is your body and your life. You fund what you choose to do with your body. THOSE are your reproductive rights. Religions want you to think about the sanctity of life and think about more than just yourself for a moment. (No other religion promotes abortion rights either, so why does just the Catholic church get such a bad rap on their position?) Liberal leftists are so good about saying trees have souls, but human life is just a blob of nothingness? I don't get the hypocrisy.
Abortion is death, period. Have you ever seen an aborted baby or a dead mother? I have. I have been in health care for 30 years. It is sickening. But abortion is legal and the Republican party is not going to "unlegalize it" all of a sudden. It would have to go through the Supreme Courts and the right to an abortion is here to stay. But tax payers shouldn't be paying for your abortions!
Birth control has been around for 70 years now. It is extremely cheap and the majority of people in the developed world can afford it, EVEN WITHOUT AN INSURANCE PLAN. A visit to the gynecolgist once a year and pack of pills once a month is about 350.00 - 400.00 a year. The morning after pill can be purchased without a prescription at most pharmacies. A pack of cigarettes a day or a cup of Starbucks daily will cost you far more than that. Your cellphone and internet plan costs even more. But where are your priorities?
Wake up people. A War on Women in the U.S. ? The vocal slanted left liberal media screams loudly to sensationalize more outright lie. And if you tell lies long enough, anyone will believe them. Especially t
You have NO idea how good you have it. You are outearning men, you can get an education, you have the right to vote, you have the right to speak your mind. You don't have to wear a Burka over your entire body. You aren't getting stoned or beheaded for looking at someone "inappropriately". You aren't being married off at the age of 10 and 12 to a man who has three other wives. You can be openly gay (Iraqi police are rounding up homosexuals and killing them on trump charges in recent months - google THAT people). You can choose your religion and if you don't like it you can convert to another one. You can drive a car. You can choose how many children you want to have. You can choose to get married or not. Anyone else want to add to the list?
How about loooking into the Middle East and other dictatorial countries where every minutia of your life and liberties are controlled? THERE you will find the REAL war on women. Why haven't women of Democratic free societies banded together and voiced loud outrage or protested over these inequalities and outright brutalities? Why so silent?
I'm sorry to see that you seem to view all Muslims in a negative way. You tout how great free speech is that we can say whatever we want and don't have to worry about being killed for it. What about when the things we say get other people killed? I am in no way advocating the type of violence we've seen in the Middle East, but with our freedoms comes the responsibility that if we fan the fires of hatred and bigotry, others might not be so tolerant of it. Once again, this idiotic bigoted video in no way justifies the attacks on our embassies, but the fools who made it knew exactly what type of reaction it would get overseas. After the Danish cartoons made years ago, it's obvious that intentionally offending the religion of others' is never a good idea and will only cause hate. By the way, there's a HUGE difference between publicly condemning something and apologizing for it.
A few other things. There's already a ban on the government funding abortions, so, no, you are not paying for other people's abortions. You also state that one can be openly be gay, yet a few sentences down the line you also state that one can choose to get married or not. This is a direct contradiction, and the republicans are seeking a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. Yet the only argument I ever hear against it is that it's against what religions teach. Our government was set up to be both allowing its citizens the right to worship as they please, but also that religion wouldn't play into the laws being written governing the people.
"A uterus cop" in every docs office - wow - another small minded comment. Your decisions are between you and your doctor. But I or the government should not be paying for that. Period.
You've got to love this character, just 3 1/2 years ago Paul Ryan voted in favor of every government spending bill during the Bush Administration, spending like a drunken sailor but “NOW” he's a fiscal conservative and/or deficit hawk... REALLY? Are you that naïve?
A Baboon Family at 1600 needs a new address come Nov., Any ZOO's available in AFRICA ?????
You are a despicable racist piece of trash. I hope you feel really big and powerful, because you are absolutely pathetic. Were your parents cousins or siblings?
F-U, That is EXACTLY what that FILTHY Herd is !!!!
Sharky-3942236's comments have absolutely NO VALUE! Another example is below:
Let's just keep labeling him "No Value" and maybe he'll disappear forever.
Sharkey, how are those KKK meetings working out for you?? I bet those white sheets are a detriment to you while you are regurgitating on the computer. LOL. It must be exhausting being you with all that anger. Is it?? To dispise you would be a credit to you, to ignore you is the best thing for all. I doubt that you are a Catholic, if you are then you are a very bad one and do not practice your faith.
They are not "social conservatives". These people are extremists and radicals. They don't share the same thinking as mainstream Americans. Imagine these people in the White House!!! Oh, my Lord!!!
These Radical Extremist are "EXACTLY" the same as LIBERALS IN AMERICA. Anyone who would vote for Bad Oder Obama is an Extremist.
