Paul Ryan to recall his Irish immigrant roots at Republican Convention speech

paddyRanger Read my post again; you totally misread it. Who mentioned seniors? Don't be so quick to call the next person a liar when you're so obviously wrong.My post addresses the food stamp program and what I posted is fact.

took the shilling type - Likud MK Miri Regev, who came under fire last week after calling African migrants “a cancer” in Israeli society, apologized for the first time for her comments on Sunday, opting, however, to leave the migrants out of her apology. ------ A dysfunctional people like the Irish have little sense as to what or who they are - they're missing that poodle bit of their nation by which they might be whole. Nice work Sasanach overlord. Your divide and conquor keeps on working to great effect.

Was this Christie's 2016 convention acceptance speech? He said 'I" 37 times and uttered nearly 2000 words before mentioning Romney!!!

The Bull Sh*t Meters must have been off the charts in Florida on Tuesday when the "Key Note" Speaker, New Jersey's (my) Governor Chris Christie used the typical demagog's trick of putting words never said in an opponent's mouth and STILL couldn't stay on message (he admitted that his father used help from the G.I. Bill - well justified government assistance - to build his future). If Congressman Ryan rightly brags about his Irish Heritage, good for him - he should be proud of how far his father brought their family and the hard work he's done from that comfortable base - but listen close to the details of what he wants for the FUTURE and how much it will practically pave the road for OTHERS' success who aren't already millionaires or make life better for those who don't share his narrow theological perspective! Except for those who have "drunk the Cool-Aid" and refused to check their facts like "paddyRanger," however, we Republicans haven't gotten our money's worth out of this Convention (no wonder the Chairman of the National Committee doubts the modern Convention's worth!). As hard as our favorite country club wife tried to make her family "relatable" and Gov. Christie tried to bolster his faltering re-election chances (New Jersey voters with kids in high school or college are fully aware that he has built his "balanced budgets" on the backs of STUDENTS and their PARENTS not his hated teachers' unions the way he'd like us to think), thus far it looks like few legitimate "swing voters" are buying the snake oil.

bleeding heart Ryan reminding us of his families early struggle, then abandons the poor,the sick and the middle classes. What a hypocrite I notice there's only one dissenter below the usual teabagger who wishes to tax himself to give the rich a tax break.

paddyRanger: Your blatant ignorance of the facts doesn't make McNamara31 a liar. If Paul Ryan gets his way, and wrecks Social Security and Medicaid as he plans, you will rue the day you ever stood up for the cretin. Make no mistake about it: Ryan is looking out for the rich and the big corporations. He doesn't give a damn for the average American worker or retiree, despite his insistence that he does.

The Potato Famine was in the 1840's - worst year 1847. I guess ryan doesn't know his roots (or forgot them)!!!!

McNamara your a liar....Ryan is not taking 10 million away from seniors..Obama is the one robbing seniors !

Mcnamara, time to return a persons self respect back to them, the self respect that has been stolen by your welfare society.

He has been to Ireland????

Ryan is as dumb as they come. Typical Irish arse.

Interesting that McNamara31 thinks he/she has the right to say how all Irish people must think. Paul Ryan is the ONLY politician right now who has proffered ANY plan at all.

What part of his roots taught him it was ok to take $10 million from the food stamp program, and pass it on to those as a $245,000 tax cut for millionaires? The only thing Irish about Ryan is the green in his wallet.
