Inside News from The Musical Patriot

An unidentified Democratic Party source who was not authorized to speak for attribution told me that Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin was conducting a listening post today. Reports from the scene indicated a lively event, evidently similar to another listening session the Congressman conducted recently in which animated constituents quizzed the legislator closely on his recommendation to end Medicare as we know it and slash numerous government programs for the poor and needy.

Ryan's heartless program would chop the feet out from under millions of Americans who would suddenly be subject to out-of-reach medical care and a lack of services in other areas. All this in a time of economic stress and distress for so many.

It is entirely right and proper that Ryan is suddenly now viewed as potentially vulnerable in next year's election.
