Florida Senate President and U.S. Senate Candidate Mike Haridopolos was kicked off a conservative Central Florida radio show after declining to answer questions about Congressman Paul Ryan’s budget plan.

Haridopolos called the Ryan plan a “good start,” but host Ray Junior, aka “America’s Loose Cannon,” wanted him to answer whether he would vote for it if elected.

“The question’s simple. You’re a senator today. The Ryan plan comes across your desk. Are you voting yes or no?” Junior asked several times.

Haridopolos said he wanted to talk about his record in the Legislature, and was not interested in taking a specific position on a “hypothetical” vote. After nearly five minutes of back and forth, Junior asked his producer to kick Haridopolos off the line. Listen to the exchange here.

Of course, the corporate mainstream media would never grill a Republican like that, because they are in on the joke being played on the American public. A Democrat would have no problem saying that they would not support the Republican Medicare voucher plan.

1. It is awesome for Democrats that the RW is demanding Republicans support Ryan's "Republican Voucher/

End Medicare as we know it Plan".

2. Its only awesome as long as we

stand strong and do not allow it to happen. And keep talking about it in plain English that people can understand so that people can see through the lies getting put out there.

3. Good,

it seems like these real conservatives are trying to destroy the repub party...good for them, all we have to do is concentrate on good candidates - that will do a good job in Washington.

5. I keep feeling like there is a really good reason

these clowns were in the minority for 40 years. I think repugs were more comfortable there. Whining is a lot easier than leading.

4. I hate seen the "What's a Haridopolos?" stickers on cars around here.

I have to fight the urge to answer the question truthfully.
