Why wouldn't he take the stimulous money?
On principle maybe?
And this is why I have a hard time with people on the right. Arrogantly claim the moral high ground until push comes to shove. With all the stuff you post on here you actually have the titanic size brass ones to ask why he took the same stimulus money he so aggressively opposed?
And you guys act all offended when grt1 calls u guys trolls. Go figure

This is what Ryan said...
"After repeated denials, Paul Ryan has admitted he requested stimulus cash even after sharply criticizing the program. As recently as Wednesday in Ohio, Mitt Romney's running mate told ABC's Cincinnati affiliate, WCPO, he did not. "I never asked for stimulus," Ryan said. "I don't recall… so I really can't comment on it. I opposed the stimulus because it doesn't work, it didn't work."
All YOU had to do was READ the article Barn before you came on here looking silly.
Here's the deal. A lot of Christian, well-educated blacks will be voting for Romney. They aren't announcing it, but that's the plan. How do I know? They did it in 2004 with John Kerry and George Bush. If enought blacks for Romney and enough apathetic blacks don't vote plus all the super liberals who are disenchanted with Obama vote for the Republican ticket...we very well may have a new president. I think the clock is ticking on ole Obama. *I'm sipping my lemonade and rocking in my chair...waiting for change...*

Nothin much man. Just watchin the lengths mugs will go to in order to not admit that they are cosigning bs.
"If enought blacks for Romney and enough apathetic blacks don't vote plus all the super liberals who are disenchanted with Obama vote for the Republican ticket...we very well may have a new president."
Words of wisdom for the first time ever in my humble opinion from Stormzee which goes along with what I have been saying. This is exactly what the republican party is counting on but all these "Obama aint doin anything for black people" cats still don't see what is gonna replace him.

I don't know how you do it but you definitely have more patience than I do. But I'm not gonna argue with Barn over something that is laid out as plain as day. The article says Ryan TOOK stimulus, and he also ASKED for it, then tried to lie about it until proof was shown. If Barn is going to sit here and make herself look silly then that's on her.
Hypocrites. Republicans are a bunch of goons out to punish citizens. The solution to medicare, social security, disability and other social programs is not to cut from them but to get the non citizens out of it. I am sure if they cut those people out of the system not meant for them they will see the majority of Americans are not on govt programs bec the govt denies it to citizens but approves it for illegals/non citizens. For example, in college a friend of mine, a US citizen tried to get medicaid for her kids, she was denied. But her illegal cousin from Monterrey, Mexico was approve for medicaid and she wasn't even pregnant. Another example, a family friend sold one of his homes to a Hispanic family. A 5 do not work and receive some kind of social security and disability or other form of assistance. Those mainly on govt assistance include Dominicans, Guatemalans, and Mexicans. Non citizens are crippling our system. Causing many of us to foot the bill. I had a friend who tried to get her autistic son into headstart. She was put on a long waiting list bec it was filled with non citizen children. The solution is not to cut but to end Bush tax cuts for the wealthy that are hoarding their money in tax *** and big business. Because of jobless for the middle class and slow job growth the middle class can no longer sustain the economy at this rate. The GOP will cripple the economy just as Bush did in the last 8 years before Obama. This is a big mess the GOP left that Obama has to try and clean up. He has also done many cuts including cuts to medicare and military spending. So the GOP can't say that all he has done was spend. In fact, out of all the Presidents he has spent the least. The GOP will try to spin in any which way they can to get Obama out of office.
@grt1
You are absolutely right. In primaries all candidates have their haters and what not. But they REALLY did not want this dude. So its hilarious now to hear some of the statements about him. Everybody and their mama got to try that front runner hat on like
"pleasenotromney pleasenotromney pleasenotromney...........***.....Romney 2012....."

SIGH... Ryan wrote a letter asking for stimulus money then lied about asking for it. He only admitted it once his signature was found on his request for the money. What about this is so difficult for you to understand, or admit???
"I never asked for stimulus," Ryan said. "I don't recall… so I really can't comment on it. I opposed the stimulus because it doesn't work, it didn't work."
"I'm not one [of those] people who votes for something then writes to the government to ask them to send us money. I did not request any stimulus money," the congressman answered.
In 2009, Ryan wrote to Energy Secretary Steven Chu and Labor Secretary Hilda Solis asking for stimulus money to cover costs on two energy conservation projects in his home state of Wisconsin.
"After having these letters called to my attention I checked into them, and they were treated as constituent service requests in the same way matters involving Social Security or Veterans Affairs are handled," Ryan said in a statement. "This is why I didn't recall the letters earlier. But they should have been handled differently, and I take responsibility for that."
