Geez, it’s just never frickin’ good enough....
Idiocy. The “heartless conservative killing granny” had a devastating effect on conservatives in 2010. /SARCASM
The author of that editorial is a complete and total fool.
He also misuses the phrase “begs the question.”
These are the same charts the liberals are posting all around on Twitter. I wonder if they originated from a democrat website or if the article itself is supplying the opposition with them.
Heard a lib say today that Romney’s VP pick “is a sign of weakness”. So making something stronger is a sign of weakness. Got it.
The author is a cynical Libertarian, unwilling to ever give any credit to anyone who tries to make a difference for the Conservative cause.
Screw Libertarians, they don’t know how to win much of anything!
Which, particularly?
I enjoy Durden more often than not, but I think he misses the boat here.
Yes, it is an incremental approach to resolving the deficit, but it is far, far better than what we have today.
It is already a very tough sale politically. I am not sure the American people will even buy this relatively modest proposal as it is. I can’t even imagine going to them with an even more aggressive plan — although I sure would love for that to be the case.
Its harder to sell $1trillion cut than give vague answers without offending anyone, but when they get into office, they have no excuse not do do massive cuts. That is what most conservatives are hoping for
Give this crap a rest.
Working to get Barry , HOlder , Janet and the radical left reelected.
Right, so now Paul Ryan is a big spending RINO liberal?
The author can take this brilliant analysis and shove it.
Excellent points but, what were the other choices?
Which, particularly?
Start with these:
Washington crossing the Delaware was an act of desperation.
Nothing wrong with that.
The author is trying to score points for himself swimming against the tide. My libertarian friends are thrilled with Ryan, especially his Ayn Rand quotes.
There aren’t very many true conservatives Romney could have chosen that would improve his electability. Who would they be? Duncan Hunter? Palin?
The Left and the media(redundancy, I know) will try to kill of anyone Romney chooses, regardless. There’s no perfect person, AFAIK.
Ever go over to MassMitt’s website, and look at “his” “issues” section?
“cutting the deficit” Sound familiar? Like the Coffee Server before the Blair House Show.
“building energy independence” Sound familiar? Like the Coffee Server again?
“ensuring Americans have the skills to succeed” Sounds familiar? NCLB again? Big Bureau Ed?
And how about his getting rid of Obamacare ...BUT....REPLACING IT!!!
It takes a Cronyville.
It is desperation and an attempt to shake things up substantially in the hopes of energizing a splintered and unimpressed Conservative base.
Perhaps so and why are conservatives unimpressed? This is a reasonable start on that answer:
...the Republican party only fights for fiscal sanity when they are a minority party, the second they become the majority they expand Government programs at an alarming rate.
Picking Ryan may be desperation on Romney's part or not, but my first impression is that Romney is showing why he has been a successful business man.
His picking Ryan will turn a lot of conservative heads his way and has already opened more than a few wallets and purses that would have stayed closed to him and his campaign.
If picking Ryan is a sign of desperation, it's being rewarded with exactly the kind of support he was hoping for.
Point goes to Romney.
Is that author really Zakaria?
