Ryan is now marginalized by hitching himself to that lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal Romney.
It’s only going to get worse.
This supposed conservative savior, it going to come out of this experience compromised beyond belief.
It's an American tradition... recall how the founding fathers compromised on the slavery issue even when human liberty was the whole point. Imagine that- compromising on human liberty actually led to broader human liberty, albeit incrementally... or should the most principled ones have refused to make deals with the slaveholding ones even if it meant no one would gain liberty so long as everyone could not have it all at once? Where would this country be now if Franklin blew off Washington and Jefferson because they were not principled enough?
