Ryan was pretty dull and clueless in 2012 race compared to all the talk radio hype we got.
Look, under GWB he joined the GOP club to break the bank on medicare expansion which was just another Obama-like bribe to get votes.
Fast forward to Ryan 2011 :
“Good news and bad news, the good news is that all those we gave those medicare goodies to (our base senior voters) we will make sure they get them for life. The Bad news is that if you retire exactly 10 years from ~now, or next month, or next years or later, not sure exactly when it starts but its 10 years for sure, you are just out of luck, The money will be gone. We are brave to tell you the truth. All we can afford to give you younger folks is a government Ryan discount coupon to give your Doctor. That is reality, but we are SAVING medicare for YOU. We are serious adults in the room. We tell the truth.”
This is what we were lectured was our conservative Super-hero.
And now he’s palling around with MY Congressman whom I sure I’ve told you I think is one of the worst pieces of sunni in the country, so bad that any Republican that even speaks to him should be sent to a labor camp.
Ryan never passed the smell test for me. SOL was the first to
point to the Ryan shortcomings.IIRC, he got flamed for it too : )
