of two fold. i mean everybody says oh congress is very unpopular. it s unprecedented that it s ever been this unpopular. so to bring somebody from the house republican caucus and put them on the ticket brings that onboard to the romney campaign bchl tu other thing is the bun thing paul ryan is famous for is the bunt and the other is which privatizing medicare, turning it into a coupon system and voucher system, ending medicare as we know it. he s the kill medicare guy. that won a lot of elections, especially at the time republicans were voting on that. it now becomes it s a choice election. it s now kill medicare or the president. there s also the argument from a political standpoint when the wall street journal wrote their editorial, there was a relatively decent political point in there which is the budget is going to be hung
intro tuesdays him and introduces him by attacking the president for $700 billion to cuts in medicare which got a rowdy and throaty and heartfelt set of boos from the audience and i think it speaks to the point how complicated and tangled how
medicare funding by $700 billion, we will preserve and protect medicare and social security and keep them there for future generations. and under the current president, health care s only become more expensive. we re going to reform health care so more americans have access to affordable health care and we ll get that started by repealing and replacing obama care. at a time when the president s campaign is taking american politics to new lows, we re going to do something very differently. we re going to talk about aspirations and american ideals, about bringing people together to serve to solve the urgent problems facing our nation.
health, social security. we re neglecting some pretty important things here. they cut money over the next 10 to 12 years. it gross gdp at plus 4.5% and also for people under the age of 556789. but the medicare, two points about that. i m glad you brought that up. a, the medicare cuts are on payments to insurers rather than on the customer s side. let s have that debate. let s have that debate. ryan keeps the medicare cuts. that s the bad them. him and president obama have the same. they get it in different ways but they keep the cuts. it s not like he s repealing the
that among senior citizens in florida and pennsylvania and elsewhere. the ryan medicare plan was too much, too fast, politically. it might be a good thick to discuss some day but politically it s a bad plan. you shouldn t be running on it. and i think it will hurt him and i think it is obama grasping at anything he can get. pat: the ryan plan, the problem is the d.n.a. of the republic with voters in their d.n.a. believe that republicans want to kill medicare and social security like the voters d.n.a. they believe democrats want to tax and spend. for ryan to put that span out with no consensus i said at going is a political disaster. romney embracing it is. sometimes you think the republicans want to throw the campaign away. the issue is, the president has so many problems in going in so many different ways.
