Liberal Protesters Baffled By Their Own Signs at Romney-Ryan Rally
By: Brian Sikma
At their first stop in Wisconsin after becoming a ticket, Governor Mitt Romney and Congressman Paul Ryan found a receptive crowd of approximately 15,000 waiting for them in Waukesha. Predictably, a handful of liberal protesters stood outside the venue waving signs and chanting rote slogans accusing the Romney-Ryan ticket of standing up for rich people. One liberal protester managed to work his way into the event and heckle Governor Romney before he was shouted down by the crowd’s spontaneous chants of “USA! USA! USA!”
Jeremy Segal, a video blogger with Breitbart.com, captured footage of the protesters and their signs littered with trite sayings. At one humorous moment, about halfway through the video, Segal asked a man to tell him about the Romney economy. The man was holding a sign that read “Ask me about the Romney economy,” as if a former Massachusetts governor and presidential candidate has more to do with economic policy than the sitting President of the United States.
Speaking of interesting statements by liberals, Vice President Joe Biden recently told voters to look at the Ryan budget plan to learn the priorities of the Romney-Ryan ticket. Paraphrasing his own father, Biden said, “Show me your budget, and I will tell you what you value.” Biden then claimed the Ryan budget shows that neither he nor Mitt Romney value the middle class. For three years now President Obama has run the U.S. government without a budget, and the budget plan he submitted last year to Congress was considered so unserious that the U.S. Senate voted 97-0 against it.
If the budget is how you judge priorities – as Vice President Biden claims – it is clear President Obama doesn’t want to be constrained by a budget and doesn’t care about the nation’s mounting debt and deficit.

Obviously the black guy holding the sign was instructed not to say anything by the SEIU front group. Perfect example of the SEIU”s soft racism of low expectations

Local Madison NBC affiliate said on Sunday night the crowd was 8000. The Milw journal said 10,000 on Monday morning. Maciver said 13,000 later on Monday. Now you guys say 15,000.
My theory is that the rally is still going on, people are still just arriving, and by Labor Day the size of the crowd will rival Woodstock.
Remember, do not take the brown acid.

I am disgusted by people’s ignorance of the facts. This is what the Obama White House depends on for getting votes. As to the Lady from California who just moved there I have this to say about Unions..At one time they were good for the worker..now GM (Bailout by the American Taxpayer is getting screwed by the Gold Ticket of Union Wages and Pensions. Obama keeps toting his badge of honor at the bailout of United Auto workers while the union bosses cherry picked the ones they wanted GM/Delphi Corp was not one of them.. Obama’s former auto czar Steve Rattner admitted in his memoir that “attaching the union’s sacred cow” could” jeopardize” the auto bailout deal. The right to work states are for the real America worker not the coddled union workers who have turned into an entitlement people…So if your Union I suppose you would vote for the Democrats…who use to be for the people..

the right to work/red states are also some of the poorest states and receive more in federal funding then they pay in with taxes. They’re the real welfare states funded by blue states. Just look at Msissippi, the most conservative and poorest state in the country
