But just as you are, I'm beyond disgusted with Ryan. He didn't even pull back when it was known that any cuts the 'pubs agreed to would be overturned, even though he gave up the sequestor.
The way I see it is that Ryan had the opportunity of a lifetime to be a true conservative and articulate those values. Instead, he was not able to win over enough conservatives. Too many saw through Ryan and Romney could not seal the deal with the voters.
Exactly right! It’s obvious the cuts the Dems agreed to are so they can later say look how heartless the Republicans are. Those will be headlines next year, in time for the election. The Fed prints $85 million a month. I heard Tom Coburn say he can show $25 billion in waste and fraud just this past year. What the hell was Ryan thinking—$26 billion in 10 years. Not to mention giving Dems benefit of increasing taxes with simple majority vote in the senate! Who knew House Rinos would be Reid’s best friend.
