Paul Ryan: What Kind Of Person Is He?

You know about his budget proposal; that's not what I am talking about here. I am talking about his response to people who reasonably differ with him. The response is simple: he kicks them out of town hall meetings, and in some cases has them arrested.

Here's Jason Easley at PoliticusUSA on 9/7/2011 (linked from his more recent article here):
Paul Ryan held his PPV town hall event at Klemmer’s Banquet Hall in Milwaukee. When some protesters who had paid their $15 ...
Wait a minute. Wait a Dog-damned minute. Fifteen bucks to attend a "town hall event"? I could almost stop right there, but it gets worse...
Paul Ryan held his PPV town hall event at Klemmer’s Banquet Hall in Milwaukee. When some protesters who had paid their $15 stood up and asked him questions about jobs and the Bush tax cuts, Ryan not only had them kicked out. He also had three of them arrested.
Arrested... at a paid-admission "town hall meeting" ... for asking questions Ryan understandably doesn't want to answer. Read some of the questions in Easley's article. This is the sort of man Ryan is: he has his political adversaries arrested.

And he seeks the office a heartbeat away from the presidency?

We've already had too many dictators in the Oval Office. One was too many. Enough is enough. Send this man home to dictate to his doubtless long-suffering family.
