Nancy Pelosi: Romney Now ‘Owns’ The Ryan Budget

After Mitt Romney announced that Paul Ryan will be his running mate, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) declared Saturday that the Republican nominee “now owns” the House Budget Chairman’s controversial Medicare plan.

Her statement:

“There is no question that former Governor Romney now owns the Republican, Ryan budget that puts millionaires ahead of Medicare and the middle class. Congressman Paul Ryan led House Republicans in voting to end the Medicare guarantee, which increases costs on seniors and weakens America’s great middle class in order to give tax breaks to millionaires, Big Oil and corporations that ship jobs overseas.

“As Democrats, we will always preserve Medicare, strengthen the middle class and work to reignite the American Dream by building ladders of opportunity for all those who work hard and play by the rules. The choice Americans are facing could not be more clear.”

Nothing on the political landscape is half so despised as the Republican contingent in Congress....

"Romney loves America like a tick loves a dog."
