Another quote from the article:
So far, Ryan appears to be willing to set aside his charts and tables in order to serve the political interests of an election campaign that has steered clear of detail, said Cal Jillson, a political science professor at Southern Methodist University.
“He’s being neutered to be an acceptable vice presidential candidate, and he’s obviously willing to have that operation performed,” said Jillson.
You find the reporting of Reuters and the musings of a liberal poly-sci professor to be conclusive, or even worth .... anything? Interesting. I’m sure that if Ryan were talking non-stop about Medicare, Reuters and Professor Jillson would be praising him! Yeah, of course they would, because they are unbiased observers and reporters!!! Yes, this is sarcasm.
