Notes from VP Candidate Paul Ryan event at The Villages in Florida (POWERFUL!)
Fox News' Greta Wire ^ | August 18, 2012 | Greta Van Susteren and Joy Lin

Posted on 08/18/2012 1:16:44 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

There were approximately 3000 people immediately here in the square, reporters noted there were more people at the events Palin and Gingrich held at The Villages. I’m told about 5K people were in the crowd when Romney spoke but I wasn’t here and can’t provide a comparison. One official told a reporter said there were 10K total today, outside the clean area, but we’re skeptical about that estimate.

Here is a slightly tweaked version of the Medicare verbate I sent out earlier.

**10:33:35 AM Like a lot of Americans, when I think about Medicare it’s not just a program, its not just a bunch of numbers, it’s what my mom relies on, it’s what my grandma had.

10:33:56 We had a rule in Wisconsin. It’s kind of an unwritten rule:

you turn 65; you have to go south for the winter. We call them ‘snow

birds’. My mom is a snow bird. She is a Florida resident, and she

lives over by Ft. Lauderdale, and she like so many people here, she

comes down here for the winter—just like so many folks from all over

the country do. You know, my grandma moved in with us—with my mom and

me—when I was in high school. She had advanced Alzheimer’s. My mom and I were her two primary caregivers. You learn a lot about life; you

learn a lot about your elderly seniors in your family; you learn a lot

about Alzheimer’s. Medicare was there for our family, for my grandma,

when we needed it then; and Medicare is there for my mom while she

needs it now, and we have to keep that guarantee.

Whatever he’s paying, he’d be better off saving his money. I think it’s having the exact opposite effect.

Hey, dude—it’s in his friggin’ platform on his campaign web sites. State exchanges, high risk pools, grants, etc..

Romney’s idea of repealing Obamacare is so he can push through Romneycare state by state and somehow, in his mind, prove he was right all along.

I see you received today’s Democrat Talking Points. How much is the Obama campaign paying you to disrupt these threads anyway?

Do you have a perpetual frown on your face? :(

No. She just wants Obama to be President for Life because she can't find anyone who agrees 100% with her opinions.

Look at the real hard lefties going after Obama now because he didn't do "Exactly" what they wanted. He might have given them 80% but no... they want it all and damn it, they want it right now!

When they were kids, we called them spoiled brats.

There are a percentage of people who demand perfection from everyone --- but themselves.

That is not reality.

Hey dude, don't make it bad
take a sad face and make it better
remember don't let it under your skin
then you begin to make it better

you've got the power to help change the direction of this country... instead of friggin' complaining that Romney doesn't fly your kite, be a force to get him in office and pin his ears to the wall if he gets into the liberal weeds... c'mon maign, if we get him in we also hold the reigns to guide his scrawny little _ _ _!!! Comprende Muchacho?
