Ryan is very good and he’s about 100% smarter and more strategic than anybody here, including the bloviating Rush doing his “show prep” (since Rush has bunches of bucks and has never held an elected or decision making position in his entire life).
If you want to criticize one of Ryan’s positions, point it out and send him an e-mail.
If you don’t support anybody because you’re too pure and can’t find a candidate who meets your criteria...then go back to being a Keyboard Kommando, who accomplishes nothing except venting his spleen.
You may not agree with him or anybody else on every point (and neither do I), but you have to support him on the things with which you can agree. Otherwise, we’ll be out there pointing the gun at our own heads because nobody is pure enough for us.
Thanks for the laugh. It's sad people put elites like Ryan on a pedestal.
Please, tell me how Ryan and other GOP in D.C. have moved our Republic one micro-meter towards Liberty?
We need leaders with a Warrior mentality, ones that will use every tool at their disposal to thwart the evil efforts of the left.
The cold reality is that government is accelerating in it's power and control. Ryan and others never indicate the severity of the problem and how the left is seeking absolute control.
He speaks like a technocrat, more worried about "process" than facing evil.
Ryan is strategic?? That is the most ridiculous thing I heard in a good while. Please tell me just one aspect of Ryan's "brilliant" strategy.
The best from this fool I have seen is cuts 10 years out.
All very well said and kudos for your courage in saying it. As I've always said, if you want someone to govern or legislate precisely as you would, then you need to run yourself. Short of that, we need to stop crucifying our own people for the occassional straying from what we agree with while ignoring the 97% of the rest of the time we're with them and they're with us. The fact is no one is better on fiscal issues and the need to reform the country's entitlement and tax system than Ryan. But unfortunately the country is too stupid to get his vision and voted for the destructive "what's in it for me" parasite vision of the Obamanation.
The purity brigade doesn't understand that sometimes you have to go into strategic retreat to achieve a greater good. Like it or not, Obama had us over a barrel on the fiscal cliff. And with Obama in near total control of the media the blame never would have gone to anyone other than Republicans for going over it. So what then? We hand Congress back to Obama and Pelosi in 2014 so Obama's last 2 years can be a spasm of left wing legislating to up-end what's left of free market capitalism in this country that will never be undone? At least this way we still have a shot at holding the House and getting the Senate so we can mitigate some of the damage Obama is doing and could do if he were in total control. And in the end, we need this debate about tax hikes and lack of spending control to go from the realm of rhetoric and theory and into the realm of practice. Now Obama's got both. Let the nation WITNESS the results---and Obama will have no excuses left.
What do you bet these same carpers are among the 3 million conservatives who sat home drooling on themselves about how they can't vote for a "Mormon and a RINO" rather than voting on election day and now whine that guys like Ryan can't get them everything they want out of an fanatically ideologically-driven president they basically helped re-elect by ignorantly staying home on election day?
I’ll crticize this position of Ryan’s.
He’s weak. He’s purposely weak. Not only is he weak, he does not even try to be strong. He signals in advance how he will fold, just like every other republican.
How is he any different from Boehner, McConnel, McCain, Goober Graham, Cantor, Powell, Romney, ...any one of them...
How is he any different than every single other utterly inconsequnetial republican that has ever walked the face of this earth outside of Ronald Reagan?
