I would really wish that one of them would have
his fill of the lies and start thrashing someone
with a cane. Too bad the Code Duello isn’t enforced
any more.

Yes he is and so is Harry Reid. I remember Reid in Las Vegas. Still the slimly scum he was.

Dan Milbank is the Tokyo Rose shilling for the Democrats. The misinformation he spreads is by design.

This in no way absolves Ryan from failing to be a limited Federal G’ment type. So yes, Ryan is a RINO ala old man Rockefeller, and yes Ryan does desire to rule over us serfs.

Sometime last year or maybe two years ago. National Review has done a number of puff pieces, one on Ryan, another on Boehner and still another on Cantor.

I do not know what has happened to National Review, but there is something going on. The latest case involves some gumbie editor at NR having issues with the Great Mark Styen’s free speech article regarding Duck Dynasty.

Isn’t Milbank a Washington Compost stooge?

The demographics of Congress are different from what they were in the past and different from those of the population (religion, etc.).

“pretty boys who pretend to be conservative “

Frankly, I don’t think Palin is all that attractive or even conservative.

And, I sense that you think one must be and old ugly fart to be qualified to be conservative.

You are wrong.

The only thing we have going is what to do about these shlups in November of next year...

I do not see any real changes in our favor as far as gains in either house...I believe we’ll see ni real significant change, because everyone things their guys are doing a fabulous job and those detractors don’t mean anything because they live outside the state and district for that matter...

I’m not holding my breath, but I will make note as who survives and how the survive this supposed backlash from all the nonsense they caved on in the last two years...

We’ll see is anyone in those states have the guts to toss there guy in favors of a Constitutional originalist, or Tea Party person...

Something tells me those reps that are vulnerable will show their true colors over the next year...

You are the one who implies that if you look too good then you must be a faux conservative.

You said “pretty boys who pretend to be conservative”.

I understand if you say “ryan pretends to be conservative”

I don’t understand your wholesale bashing of “pretty boys” which says that a pretty boy is pretending to be conservative.

It sounds like liberals who pretty much assume if you are conservative, you are a nazi.

You sound like that only you say if you are a pretty boy, you are a faux conservative.

Straw man.

Just because you're a pretty boy doesn't make you worthless, but Ryan and Rubio are pretty boys and they are worthless.

You know, Michelle Obama revealed a lot about herself when she said “for the first time in my life, I am proud to be an American.”

She and the DNC can try to spin all they want, but the remark stands for what it is.

You said “Ryan and Rubio are peas in a pod... pretty boys who pretend to be conservative when they are really progressives.”

Fact is you are suspicious of people who are too good looking because you assume “silver spoon, Ivy education (bad), not one of the regular folk, always got the pretty girl, life is too good for them to be able to understand the regular guy”

And much like Michelle Obama, no matter how you spin, that is what you think.

Like I said, you just make stuff up and pretend like it’s true.
