Good luck there fella'

Paul Ryan is addressing the AARP today...just as this is being re-reported:
"Social Security right now is a collectivist system, it's a welfare transfer system."

-- Rep. Paul Ryan in a 2005 audio recording talking about privatizing the "socialist-based system" of social security -- or as he jokingly said he preferred, "personalizing" it.

Wanna bet that one of the punch lines that he's used over the years with his fellow Ayn Rand buddies is that AARP stands for the American Association of Real Parasites? Or something using "parasites."

I'll take $10K of that action.

"Personalizing" is a Luntz-ism, right from the Republican playbook (bottom of the first page).

The sound of boos and No! and You Lie! during his speech was music to my ears. The geezers didn't buy his bullshit like the MSM does.

There has been no record of the ill-effects of hoodia on children and pregnant women, but still they are not recommended to take hoodia appetite suppressant pills. Products like UniqueHoodia diet pills capitalize on the body's natural capacity to control itself. Hoodia is a species of luscious plants in the family Apocynaceae, which is commonly used by the South Africans. The active ingredient which suppresses hunger and thirst is called p57 and has only be found in this desert plant, p57 is a steroidal glycoside which triggers chemical reactions within our body allowing us to loose weight.
