Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan campaign on the freedom of living without Medicare

by Joan McCarter

VP talk is flying after Mitt Romney's campaign appearance with Republican wunderkind and austerity poster boy Rep. Paul Ryan in Wisconsin today.

Starting the fourth day of his heartland bus tour, Romney carried his economic message here to Janesville, the hometown of Rep. Paul Ryan, where he was introduced by the trifecta of Badger State Republican stars – Walker, Ryan and Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus. [...]

Ryan, who chairs the House Budget Committee, called Romney a leader with “bedrock of principles” and a “moral compass” as he tried to bestow upon Romney the fiscal credibility he enjoys among conservatives.

“In this coming election, we’re going to make a choice,” Ryan said. “What kind of country do we want to have? What kind of people do we want to be? We want to be free. That’s right.”

Yes, we want to be free from Medicare, and that's what Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan will deliver to us, if Romney's elected. That'll be true either with Ryan on the ticket with him, or continuing as the House budget leader. Ryan's and Romney's moral compass points to as much suffering for as many of the undeserving as they can ladle out, starting with ending Medicare.

2. If Romney gets in, Medicare is finished.

Social Security, too, although he will no doubt try to privatize it to reward his Wall Street buddies with the biggest pot of money of their lives.

But Medicare is just finished. He will have 85 year olds negotiating with insurance companies. We know how that will go.

3. As a TA in Florida in Rick Scott's "hometown"

I was paying $160 a month for just me with a $3,500 deductible, with a $450 deductible for scripts. WORKING with "employer insurance". This inclued NOTHING else. THINK about what they would want for Seniors after retirement. DIE, unless you are RICH, is what they want.

5. Free to die like dogs in the street.
