In "The Way Forward: Renewing the American Idea," the 2012 Republican vice presidential nominee writes that he warned his fellow GOP that the shutdown “can't be the full measure of our party and our movement” and called it “a suicide mission.”

Yes, that budget Paul Ryan put together last year that took from Veterans and gave to illegal aliens told me all I need to know about him.

No one is buying the book, no one is buying the new/old butt-sniffing image, and NO ONE is buying Paul Ryan as interesting, credible or useful in any way.

Except on the Left.

He's a liberal Republican hand picked by the man who managed to lose to one of the weakest incumbents in years because he agreed on the one thing Americans hated!!!

Ryamnesty is still pushing for amnesty and thinks Romney should run again.

Ryamnesty may be hoping for a payoff like his amnesty buddy Rubio got. Rubio supposedly got about $3 million in campaign contributions shortly after he voted for comprehensive immigration reform.

When Ryan gave the presentation at the Republican Healthcare Summit with Obama, he seemed like a staunch conservative.

Sadly, he has dropped like a rock since then. Like so many others with potential, every time he opens his mouth, something stupid seems to come out. Makes one wonder what is in the water (or liquor) in Washington.

Yes, because according to the GOPe its NEVER the right time to fight for anything. The DC GOP skanks didn’t help either by abandoning the cause immediately.

He’s a New World Order elite wanna be. We need to pray that God Almighty reveals men and women “For Such a Time as This”.

Wonder if Benedict Arnold wrote a book for his new image. Paul Ryan has drunk the Kool Aid that turns reasonable people into tools for the elitist Republican establishment wing do the Democrat party.
