    Can't say I have a lot of commentary on this except that Paul Ryan is a huge (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)bag.

    Some OP's never tire of being lying libs in mommy's basement.

    The sponsors of a catered event are charging $15 a head admission.

    I would pay the $15 to ask a question...and then my question would be:

    "Mr. Ryan, Why did you charge me money to be able to ask you a question?"

    Why can't he just hold public town halls? Why must there be a cover charge just to talk to your representatives?

    “Paul Ryan has had a hard time going before open crowds, and for good reason,” Zielinski said. “I’m sure Ryan doesn’t want to go before the public to explain while his extreme ideology caused Standard & Poor’s to downgrade U.S. long-term treasury bonds. Beside, Ryan likes smaller settings — the kind where you can cozy up to a hedge fund manager and get a good $350 bottle of wine.”
    Lol,wow,so now its Ryans fault S&P downgraded us?I thought it was the Tea Parties fault?
    Why cant they make up their minds who to blame?lol

    Did you even read your own article? I would understand...I get busy too and try to skim as much as I can.

    $15 dinner with your rep seems pretty reasonable to me. Its not even close to him sticking out his hand and demanding $15 per question.

    Many reps also don't hold town halls.

    Thread fail!

    Don't know about you, but I'd rather not be required to pay to talk to my representatives during the August recess.

    Then hold a fundraiser. Don't require your constituents to pay you just to ask a question.

    Doesn't sound nearly as bad as Obama charging $25,000 a plate for a fundraiser?

    That's a fundraiser, not a town hall. It's got fund right in the word...

    Tough to charge more then $15 per plate when your serving peanut butter sandwiches, burgers, dogs and soda.

    So what, it is still raising money like Ryan. You just don't like Ryan so you want to put a failed thread like this up to bash him. You need to find some real issues AZ, you are just too lame with this one.
