Why Are Conservatives Covering Up the John Boehner Knuckle Dragger Comment?

Although I’ve been attacked by fellow conservatives, FINALLY someone is speaking the truth about Paul Ryan lack of true fiscal conservatism. And John Boehner’s reply – together with complicit cover ups by some conservatives – had better damn well wake the rest of you up who are partying as if the Ryan nomination means the election is over.

The entire 50 second video is here, but I will paraphrase it:

Greta Van Susteren: Ryan’s supposed to be a fiscal hawk. How does he explain his vote for the stimulus in ‘08, the auto bailout, and TARP?

Speaker John Boehner: He’s not a knuckledragger right? He’s a practical conservative with a conservative record.

RedState and others are a bit upset, ironically after most of the same shamelessly embraced the Paul Ryan TEA Party label. Mark Levin (as usual) has an extraordinarily good rant, but also gave no caution to conservatives in his ringing endorsement of Ryan earlier this week. A very few of us have been cautioning against unrestrained joy at the Paul Ryan nomination not as much as a warning against Ryan himself, but in what this means for the election, Mitt Romney’s administration (should he win) and the perpetual compromise that we might have to live with eight more years. And if anyone held delusions that Ryan would influence Romney to be more conservative, they might want to note Byron York’s column this morning documenting how just the opposite is already happening. Once again, Ryan is falling in line with the GOP establishment without a peep.

Even close conservative friends have been telling me to quit being negative, having fully succumbed to the GOP mind control and Romney campaign marketing of the “comeback team.”

You're basing your entire rant on Speaker John Boehner staements?
That clown is part of the problem and serving under false pretences. I pray the clueless RINO leaves soon.

Ryan's proved his bona fides in his famous face to face put down of Obama at the contrived Obamacare fiscal legislative workshop. I have yet to see or hear of any great elected official who agrees with me 100%.

Any incumbent of ANY party who calls the Tea Party "knuckledraggers" is for sure on borrowed time. Poor John continues to be clueless.
