Paul Ryan to use his elderly mother as prop in Florida...

What a douche bag! Going to use his mother to make people think he won't bother their medicare. Give me a break. Have you also noticed how Ann Romney uses her MS in a lot of interviews. I didn't know there was a cure or anything that would put it in remission.
Nobody likes them, so they're using their families. But somebody needs to ask him, although he'll lie, if medicare is the only insurance his mother depends on like so many other people. Guarantee she has private insurance also.

last decade, Ryan has a lot of money, and his mom will be covered even when her voucher allotment is used up..

After all didn't he "forget" that he had a million dollar trust stashed away?

People fall for anything; like this woman would ever lack for the very best medical care. People hear exactly what they want to hear, and who wants to hear bad news?

Yes cryin Ryan needs to bring his mommy to lie for him. He'll try and convince the sea of blue hairs
that he will not cut their benefits. And for some it will work. Faux News will settle any doubt for them.
