Video: Romney's Senior Adviser Goes Off On Ryan!!!

by joelgp

Get your popcorn, get your popcorn because this my friends is must see TV.

Today, Romney's Senior Adviser John Sununu got his panties all in a wad when Chris Matthews drilled him on Medicare. Here's a taste of how it went with video below:

"Matthews opened the interview by asking Sununu why he thinks Romney has made the effort to distance himself from Ryan’s budget. “This is not Ryan/Romney as a ticket, it’s Romney/Ryan,” said Sununu.

“He likes Ryan without the plan,” Matthews pressed.

Sununu answered that, while Romney appreciates the Ryan budget reform proposals, Romney has his own budget that he is running on.

“So he’s a cafeteria Catholic on this,” Matthews said, suggesting that Romney was picking and choosing what Ryan advocates that he would support. When Sununu argued that the government was going to have to reform Medicare or it would go bankrupt eventually, Matthews agreed.

“Are you still with Ryan,” Matthews asked again.

“No, I’m with Romney,” Sununu protested. “Forget Ryan’s plan.”

Anyone know where I can get some good popcorn coupons?

Mitt has lost control of his campaign, and his own lies are responsible.

Mitt Romney claims the Ryan plan actually expands Medicare

by Jed Lewison

Only Mitt Romney could say that a proposal to end Medicare as we know it is actually a plan to expand Medicare:

My plan, like his, really expands Medicare Advantage. It says let's give people more opportunity to take advantage of not just the standard Medicare, but also also the policies that are available in the market place.

Hmm. Let's see. Under the Ryan plan, Medicare Advantage is eliminated for everyone under 55. For everyone over 55, the Ryan plan cuts hundreds of billions of dollars of wasteful Medicare Advantage spending.

But other than the part about eliminating Medicare Advantage and cutting hundreds of billions in Medicare Advantage spending, Romney is totally right.

And we haven't even touched on the fact that Ryan's plan also ends traditional Medicare.

That's one heck of an "expansion" you got going on there, governor.

Mitt keeps getting tripped up by his lies.

Appears Mitt's plan is create a make-believe Ryan plan while running away from the actual Ryan plan.

Mittwit!
