[ laughter ] >> or chris christie. >> stephanie: yeah i was going to go there. we almost collided in getting to the chris christie joke. >> how pleasant that would have been. >> stephanie: oh. you have seen all of these headlines republicans distance themselves from romney's medicare plan. so you are running in florida. we saw what happened in up state new york. that was only one race and that's my home district as you know. republican -- or excuse me democrat wins that and because of paul ryan kathy won that seat. what does this mean for people like you in florida? >> in florida we have three times of the older vote than the rest of the country. and they are waking up and

realizing it is true. they want to take your medicare away from you and destroy that program, all of that is true and now it's flight their face. and by the way, this exact same ryan plan, same ryan budget came up when i was in congress. the democrats put it up for a vote, and hardly any republicans voted for it. they went around and told every conceivable republican, don't vote for that. that's going to get you lost. and in fact, now we're going to see it happen, all the over the country, not just to the presidential level, but at the senate and house level. >> stephanie: i was going to say, alan i don't know if i'm getting giddy and ahead of myself is that is what i feel like. >> stephanie: it's important -- it's important that we drive the point home. we can't have weak democrats the

mattering, well maybe ryan isn't as good as simpson bowls or something like that. no, no, no. the ryan plan is going to throw grandma from the train, and that's what the democrats have to say every day between now and november 6th. >> stephanie: yeah i'm reading this peace, republicans moving to distance themselves from ryan and his budget in hopes they can win over swing voters by criticizing the medicare-ending plan. is it going to work alan? >> this is when a presidential candidate chooses a vice presidential candidate on the basis of his pretty blue eyes. >> stephanie: i have to say i sense as a woman this is another insulting choice. i was insulted by sarah palin. it's like no she is not like hilary clinton. >> she is like hilary clinton if

hilary clinton had a lobotomy.

time 235 republicans voted for this plan that will force seniors to pay $6,500 every year for their health care. and it is now the doctrine of the party. >> stephanie: i love this. >> the communist party, and now the ryan budget is now the doctrine of the republican party. they can't walk away from it. >> stephanie: while republicans insist they are not panicking over the ryan budget -- >> why would they think that [ mocking laughter ] >> only because they are heavily sedated. >> stephanie: stay on offense on medicare. oh, it's offensive all right. [ laughter ] >> stephanie: that's what i mean. i just think it's too easily -- and what you just heard mitt romney say, that's exactly where they are going to go. the president is the one that cut medicare -- >>um -- >> stephanie: yeah nobody that

has some basic understanding of it, is going to believe that. >> they have been whining about the fact that obamacare is now in effect, and did any seniors vote any cut in benefits? there aren't any. and seniors just have to wake up and look around and see obamacare has not hurt them. it has in fact helped them. >> stephanie: yep. absolutely. i love the fact that -- you must have loved this whole harry reid thing because you like your democrats fighting, like you and me, and now of course the news comes out that of course paul ryan had to release several years of his income taxes to mitt romney. is this issue back on the front burner? >> well, i have two seven year olds, and i know what it means

when i see one of the seven year olds holding his hands behind his back. and that's what romney is doing with his tax returns. >> stephanie: and here we go with ryan going i am only going to only release two years, when obviously everybody that was vetted had to give several years of tax returns. >> yes and john mccain knows whether -- john mccain has been very quiet about this whole thing with harry reid. john mccain could say who is lying and who has been telling the truth. >> stephanie: trust me when anybody behind closed doors, say, what the hell were you thinking about sarah palin? he is like trust me it was worse. the other ones were worse.
