AS we all know, many times the staffers are the ones who run the show. <br /><br />Also Pocan doesn't need his ego stroked or popularity points by exploiting cancer victims so he did not need to tweet out BS Jeff Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12118335402641807712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-20042826071907334312017-05-18T08:56:20.521-05:002017-05-18T08:56:20.521-05:00The other question, Jeff, is why U.S. Rep.

Paul then changed the rules and said only a handful of the group could meet with him. Then when they got there he changed the rules again and did NOT listen to a single story but took a quick pic. <br /><br />Which is fine maybe he was actually busy, but the point is only a complete ass would then tweet, about hearing their powerful stories. <br /><br />I guess when you know you plan on leaving these moochers hanging, its so much easier if you dont have a face to think of when you do it. <br /><br />What were they supposed to do? spend time with them listening to their stories. Its so much easier to take healthcare away from 24 million people if you dont have to look them in the eye or understand the true consequences of your actions. <br /><br />On their website this is how they describe their DC trip. <br /><br />Students get an insider’s look at our government in action, as they spend a week in our nation’s capital participating in seminars, meeting with Congressional leaders and touring Washington’s landmarks, museums, and monuments<br /><br />They definitely saw how Government works. They all agreed that it was the worst trip they have ever had out there and all were disgusted with politics. <br /><br />Of course they tweeted out those pics, same way WASB tweets crap about working with the Governor. They cant speak their truth publicly. <br /><br />They also agreed not to bring the story up because things were so bad they didnt want to be attacked like what happens to anyone who dares criticize the GOP. <br /><br />That is why it took me a while to write the story and why i will never reveal my sources. <br /><br />Thats all kids with cancer need is to be subject to right wing attacks by the likes of you. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-63230726941946790912017-05-17T07:35:16.285-05:002017-05-17T07:35:16.285-05:00Jeff's other beefs are that Ryan did not accom...Jeff's other beefs are that Ryan did not accommodate all 50 camp visitors. But a check of their website shows that the delegation that day visited Reps. Grothman, Kelly, Messer, and Raja -- five congressional offices. I.E., they visited THEIR congressmen. Or is it your position, Jeff, that all five used a group of teenage cancer survivors as a political prop? Which raises the question, what were they supposed to do? Turn them away?David Blaskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14746169836462702879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-29018212527769316722017-05-17T07:23:23.584-05:002017-05-17T07:23:23.584-05:00But you weren't there, Jeff.

That the Speaker spent an insufficient amount of time with them? Would the other members of the delegation agree with your source, if you actually had one? As for Hot Air, it reproduced the tweets from grateful participants complete with actual names. Are you saying they were forged?<br />David Blaskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14746169836462702879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-80090296986035881402017-05-16T11:05:26.026-05:002017-05-16T11:05:26.026-05:00Unfortunately I can not share my sources, they wer...Unfortunately I can not share my sources, they were actually on the trip though.

The tweet has since been deleted but here it is ... Whedon has a particular hatred for Paul Ryan. In January he tweeted about how funny it would be to see Ryan killed by a rhino. The problem with the tweet above is that it’s not really focused on Paul Ryan. Whedon is making the young women in the photo contestants in an imaginary reality TV show and he seems to be mocking their appearance as well, i.e. “Not a 10.” That’s particularly despicable because the young women in this photo are teen cancer survivors."http://hotair.com/archives/2017/04/29/director-joss-whedon-steps-away-twitter-mocking-teen-cancer-patients/David Blaskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14746169836462702879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-49838375049516996042017-05-15T15:04:43.933-05:002017-05-15T15:04:43.933-05:00"Who would use a group of teenage cancer surv...<i>"Who would use a group of teenage cancer survivors as a political prop?
