What legacy is that?

Being unabashedly pro-life, favoring a constructionist view of the Constitution, and rejecting Keynesian economics both in rhetoric and in action.

“Being unabashedly pro-life, favoring a constructionist view of the Constitution, and rejecting Keynesian economics both in rhetoric and in action.”

How does that line up with Paul Ryan’s stance?

>>>>Being unabashedly pro-life,

He’s unabashedly for states’ rights and “local control” of abortion. He ranks right-to-life below states’ rights. Not exactly “unabashed.”

>>>>favoring a constructionist view of the Constitution

When it favors him. He’ll slide around it when it doesn’t. He objects to funding a Rosa Parks medal but favors funding art contests. Not exactly an impressive record of consistency.

>>>>and rejecting Keynesian economics both in rhetoric and in action.

Lots of conservatives have also done so.

He criticized Newt’s “dirty money”, yet had no problem profiting from his newsletter sprinkled with racist comments (the knowledge of which he later denied).

Paul will retire never having followed through on his cry to “audit the Fed.” Like most politicians, he’s simply an opportunist. He had no interest in auditing the Fed; he was simply trying to draw attention to himself with that exhortation so that he could make another failed bid for the Presidency.

He’s a crank on border issues, and a complete naif on foreign policy.

No wonder Rachel Maddow likes him.
