LOL- Paul Ryan Looks Like Somebody KICKED HIM in the Gut When Romney ADMITS OBAMA DIDN'T RAISE TAXES

When Mitt Romney wandered off script and admitted that Obama hasn’t raised taxes, Paul Ryan looked like someone just punched him in the stomach.


Romney said, “I admit this, [President Obama] has one thing he did not do in his first four years — he’s said he’s going to do in the next four years, which is to raise taxes.”




The really priceless moment is happening behind Romney, as Paul Ryan realizes what Romney said, and tries his very best to maintain his smile. Ryan’s face transformed into a pained expression, as Romney accidentally let loose with a bit of truth.


Paul Ryan’s reaction to Mitt Romney’s accidental admission of the truth was priceless. Ryan has to be wondering what he got himself into here. He was once one of the GOP’s “Young Guns,” but now he is watching his image and his future national prospects go up in smoke as he finds himself trapped in the burning building that is the Romney campaign.

Tax Hikes Coming No Matter Who Wins White House
CNBC.com | September 25, 2012 | 02:06 PM EDT
Regardless of who wins the White House this November, the new health-care law will raise taxes on high-income Americans next year—and that could have implications for stocks and other assets.

Starting Jan. 1, there will be an additional 3.8 percent tax on investment income—including capital gains, dividends and rental income. It will apply to married couples with adjusted gross income of $250,000 or more and for individuals above $200,000.

There will also be a 0.9 percent tax next year on all salaries and wages earned above those same threshold amounts.

The new taxes, part of the 2010 health care law, are expected to help fund Medicare.

The first glimmering of non-pandering in quite a while. It gives me hope... because it gave Paul Ryan the sads.

We are not victims you prick. We don't buy it when Romney said it, we're not buying it when you call us that either.

I want to take off my shoe and throw it at you, you sorry sack of dog shit.

Couple this with reports that Ryan has been marching around his campaign bus, saying things like, “If Stench calls, take a message” and “Tell Stench I’m having finger sandwiches with Peggy Noonan and will text him later.”

Is that why Ryan does a double-take?

What's Romney saying? He admits Obama did one thing right he said he was going to do which was he didn't raise taxes over the next four years or something like that and on that account we can't afford four more years????? DId I get it right?


Edit: I will try again and see if it makes sense this time.
Another edit. Mitt is losing it.. he's contradicting himself, and look at his face.. he's crazed.

you can be sure Obama will raise them in the next four years if he's elected.

Fear tactics......scare the electorate into submission.

is where Romney says Obama is just going to continue the status quo
for the next four years
and we can't afford it.
After he had just said Obama was NOT going to continue the
status quo.
That's when Ryan did a wait wut and started to scowl.
