What an evil hypocrite.

Paul Ryan collected social security benefits for two years after his father died. Then Paul's grandmother came to live with them. She had Alzheimer's he did his duty and helped care for her. He brushed and braided her hair.

according to this article...

=========================================
With his father’s passing, young Paul collected Social Security benefits until age 18, which he put away for college. To make ends meet, Paul’s mother returned to school to study interior design. His siblings were off at college. Ryan remembers this difficult time bringing him and his mother closer.
Within months, Paul’s maternal grandmother moved into the house. She suffered from Alzheimer’s, and it often fell on young Paul to care for her, including brushing and braiding her hair. Ryan credits his father’s death and the care of his grandmother as giving him first-hand experience as to how social service programs work.

Wow Paul, you brushed her hair. Let me tell you something Paul. My Dad lived at my sisters house with the same debilitating disease and we both were care givers and were not paid one cent for our time. Care meant a hell of a lot more than brushing their hair. Bathing one owns father was very difficult at first, shit took me a bit to get over it, hell he bathed me as a child and now became the child. Then had to deal with his anger when I stayed and helped him. Feeding them... using baby monitors at night to know when they got up. Reams of laundry, emptying urinals and a victim of their uncontrolled rage. Constant vigilance in case he escaped...which he tried to do more than once. Poor pitiful Paul.

==========================

Ryan sure did get first-hand experience on how social programs work.  They made it possible for Paul Ryan to attend college, get an education, and make a name for himself in the political world.  And he's now using that name to make sure others don't get the same opportunities he did.

What an evil hypocrite.

FUCK PAUL RYAN. He stands at the podium and laughs as he takes away our benefits...the same ones he used to benefit himself.

THIS SHOULD BE THE HEADLINE OF EVERY PAPER IN THIS NATION

Or that she insisted that smoking cessation promotion was a conspiracy. She died of lung cancer, of course, compketely in denial about that and her dependency on the govt program called Social Security.

Ronald Reagan made sure it stopped when I turn 18. The thing that really pisses me off is that MY FATHER PAID INTO SOCIAL SECURITY!

Now as 27 year veteran teacher I worry my pension won't be there and many teachers don't paid into social security.

Our state pensions are all we get!

Republicans are evil!

I had no idea Reagan changed the law. My life would have been more secure if I had had 4 more years of benefits.

My dad was a doctor and had paid a large amount of social security taxes over his working lifetime. My dad, unfortunately, was a Reagan supporter. He didn't live to see how it all turned out.

Ryan and McConnell who I want to see in orange jumpsuits, these men hate the American people and have no respect for us. Isn't that enough to start pushing these SOB's back hard?

The Democratic Party needs to start a long, vicious campaign against this pecker-head yesterday! Right now through 2018, a bunch of ads like the filthy and very effective type that Handel just used in Georgia should be aired. I don't care how gerrymandered this guy is, he can be knocked off. But first, we have to believe and act like it's possible. No half measures here. Get behind our new guy Bryce and really help him out. We can beat this rotten turd, but we can't wait until a few months before the election to seek traction. We need to put our cleats on now and start kicking him in the shins. Beating Ryan isn't just taking back one seat in the House - it's a huuuge thing. And hang Drumpf around his neck just like they did with Obama and still do with Pelosi to our candidates.

And these 'Con reps are Evil.

I usually say cons are evil and/or ignorant.

My poor MIL is not evil but she sure is ignorant.

I hate this evil motherfucker more than anything. I actually think I hate him even more than Trump because he is willfully evil instead of just stupidly evil. I want him to go down more than any of them. I can't even say what I really want to happen to him.
