Actually, I think a lot of folks on the right will mock him for this. Mike Ryan? Not just once, but four different times in the same blogpost?? What that rather strongly suggest is that he's just shooting from the hip, because nobody who actually did enough reading to blast Paul Ryan fairly could possibly mess it up that badly.
Here's the truth about Ryan and Rubio -- they think it critically important to defeat Obama, believe that Romney is the inevitable nominee at this point, and so think the best way to maximize his chance of winning is to unite behind him now.
They may be wrong about that, but that isn't an inherently immoral or corrupt position. It's a pragmatic one of making the best of a bad set of options. And if we're going turn on guys like Ryan, who pushed the most bold conservative economic plan in at least a decade, there's no hope for us. We might as well form the circular firing squad right now, and cede the Presidency, House, and Senate to the Democrats.
Obama vs. Romney - a communist or a fascist.
Not much of a choice for a conservative!
I might go along with Paul Ryan being ‘pragmatic’. But Rubio was bought and paid for by romney early on. There is nothing pragmatic about it.
