I like Ryan and wish he was at the top of the ticket, but what you state is true. Ryan has already folded his tent and is now flying Romney’s flag. As VP, he has no choice but to defend the company line. And the company is, the GOPe.
This one is all about the Beltway kingmakers, the pundits, the press, the fundraisers, the Powers That Be - that used to be an ironic phrase, didn't it? The K Street crowd. To vote Romney is to perpetuate that system; to vote otherwise is to hand it back to 0bama and his carpenter ants on the Constitutional framework. I'm as angry as you about it and for the very same reasons.
I'll wait. I said I would and I'm going to. Romney can show me a staff, he can commit to policies and win my vote despite what he clearly has been in the past. Because I don't have another choice. But if he doesn't do that, it really won't matter much which way I vote.
Much to go, much to go. Prayers and tears and a lot of shouting. God Bless America.
