Iowa voters are used to questioning presidential candidates up close during their caucus process and on Paul Ryan's bus trip in eastern Iowa on Tuesday it was no different. At a town hall in Clinton, Ryan was asked for more specifics from a voter. Friday, that voter wrote an op-ed in the Quad City Times objecting to how she feels her question was portrayed by the Obama campaign and the media.
"I am the woman in the Green Bay Packer jacket at Rep. Paul Ryan's rally in Clinton who asked him the question about specific plans to fix our economy," Linda Morrison wrote. "Needless to say, I was quite shocked to learn the Obama campaign seized my question, putting out the statement 'Even Ryan can't attend his own rally without being called out.' I was not calling Ryan out. I had the opportunity to ask a direct question to Paul Ryan and what I got was a complete direct answer with no spin."
On Tuesday, Morrison asked Ryan for specifics she didn't think she got during his appearance on Fox News Sunday just days before. going to … you know, what are your plans?"

Linda is naive....
She also appeared on Fox and expressed her concerns about being misrepresented.
Who’s the liar now?
The same person it has always been. The person who yells, liar knowing he is uttering a lie with thse uttrance.
Hussein and his minions are shameless liars. You wonder if people like her would have a case if they filed a lawsuit.
Also, a woman was on Fox this morning who had received two push-poll calls for each of her two kids in college. In the first call, the poller asked the mom who her daughter would be voting for. Mom said that, as a practicing Catholic, of course her daughter would not vote for Obama (abortion, birth control, etc.) The poller said, “I’m a Catholic”, and asked if she knew that Romney is a Mormon and doesn’t believe in Jesus Christ. Mom gave another strong answer. Poller brought up the subject of “nuns on the bus”. Call ended.
Minutes or hours later, another call with the same question, this time asking how her son would vote. Mom gave the same answer. Caller gave the same, “I’m a Catholic” and Mormon/Jesus Christ line. Mom said, “Next you’ll be asking about the nuns on the bus.”
Obviously, pollers are reading from a script, with canned retorts for every possible response. And... when it comes to Obama, the subject of religion is taboo. But it’s OK for Obama to attack Romney’s religion.
Ruthless, evil people
