1. I don't think this could've happened to a better guy.

But I just feel so annoyed at the people who have been conned by Ayn Ryan, and actually tried to drown out the lady who asked him about Medicare. I just don't understand their mindset in supporting a guy who clearly wants to take from them.

2. While I agree with the sentiment, democracy works only when all views are presented.

[zeemike]

3. In this kind of thing all views cannot be presented.

And there is no attempt to present any other view that the speech he has practiced contains....any heckler or someone that shouts out a question is either ignored or taken away by the cops.
How much different it would be if he actually addressed the question yelled out by the hecklers?....and if they persisted or did not like the answer invite them to the microphone to debate it?
And how much more respect he would get from the crowd if he did that...he would say to them I am confident enough in my ideas to do that...

It is like Harry Truman and his whistle stop tour....Truman never ignored hecklers but would fire right back with an answer....like the famous one..."give em hell Harry"...and his reply..."I just tell the truth and they think it is hell"...And that is why he won after all the polls said he would lose in a landslide...that kind of thing makes people listen to you...and he grew large courts everywhere he went.

But we are in the TV age now...everything is created as an image and it is all choreographed and staged for the image...and there is no room for other views, and no substantive debate....just a Madison ave campaign.

5. The point is that Ryan isn't allowed to present his points.

Only the hecklers, points are allowed.

6. Paul Ryan is a Congressman and is running for VP

What bigger megaphone can you have in this country? His opinions and point of view are splashed all over this nation every day. The heckler's points were never answered. The hecklers don't have their opinions splashed across the country every day. I think Ryan is in no danger of being hushed up. Yet, you can't say the same thing for the heckler.

The rich and powerful always have the upper hand. Ryan is not an underdog.

4. i don't see him being any good on the stump. he doesn't yet know how to

hold a crowd . . . like someone else we know. he's not as awkward and insincere as rmoney but he is definitely not comfortable up there yet.

8. Wtf is with the USA chant all the time?

[Heather MC]

9. That's their collective way of drowning out the person with the question

I will not refer to those women as hecklers they are very brave, and have a right to know the answer to their questions. Unfortunately now adays with Rmoney and now Rand being so scripted, and careful. The audience is nothing more than a backdrop to look they give a car. At least McCain did Town Halls, and people could talk to him.

Has Mitt been that open to the public yet?? I don't know if he has or not, people don't want to be talked at. We want to have a conversation with these people that are trying to take over our Country with lies. Sometimes shouting is the only way they hear us

So I applaud those women's effort's they are not "hecklers" they are voting citzens from that state who deserve the truth, as we all do

10. I'm not even american and the rich wing hijack of anything "real american" even pisses ME off.

[Heather MC]

12. Their Definition of "Real American" is

Rich White Male
Land Owner
With Guns and Slaves

11. "Middle Class" = "People Who Only Have a Million Dollars"

It would really help the "Middle Class" if they only had to pay the help $2 an hour.
