” Listening to the Romney speech, you’d have no idea he picked a principled, fearless, and brilliant conservative lightning rod as a running mate.”
That’s because he didn’t. Ryan was begging congress to vote for TARP even when it was a big no-no. His budget is also a gimmick that relies on assumptions of 2 percent unemployment and 5 percent growth every year (something we have not seen for 30 years) to “grow” (not cut) us out of debt by 2040.
Ryan is just the gimmicky Robin to Romney’s Camp version of Batman. The GOP hope to propel that loser as the new “Sarah Palin,” that way the real Sarah Palin won’t be able to threaten their interests.
Truly an idiotic piece.
This may be Romney’s best strategy. You have to consider the electorate. Fer cryin’ out loud! He has to appeal to people who were actually stupid enough to vote for Zippy in 2008. So regardless of his ideology, regardless of his ideas or lack of them, maybe laying low when it looks like he’s leading is a good strategy.
That’s what I would do.
If you’re heading for victory, don’t make any sudden moves that could send you off course.
You could argue that O-bummer has the wrong ideas because he has the wrong resume. I ran into people like him in academia, they have never had a "real job" where they were expected to have ideas and make them work in the real world.
Yes O-Bummer is out to destroy America but he is not, (Thankfully!) very good at it. Mostly because he has a head full of theory but has never actually done any of the actual work.
