Early 2011 it dawned on me that he was a manufactured conservative cult hero. It started with that ‘Obama-care debate’ he took part in 2010.
Then the budget wizard proposed the Ryan Medicare plan which was never intended to get near being law.
That got Rush and CO pumping him up to be that conservative messiah to counter O , but didnt work out to well.)
But my personal favorite was when he was running with Romney last year and he got on Sunday News show (Laura OD CBS I think) and denied he ever supported the automatic defense cuts in budget control act, the act that a year earlier he called ‘historical bipartisan deficit reduction agreement’ on the floor of the House.
Ryan is just another tool, propped up to be something he's not by a desperate party. We had plenty of make believe heroes the past few years a true sign of desperation. .
I remember I was mildly enthused about the VP choice and you were like “nope” he’s a firm part of the establishment. ;)
I wasn’t excited when he was being pushed as a possible challenger to Boner since they seem to be on the same page and I don’t want him to run in 2016, I don’t think he’s the right man. Being in Congress right now is not conducive to electability anyhow. Governors.
