Okay, I really like Paul Ryan. But he just said, after describing the polarization Obama has created in the country, that Romney “reached across the aisle” to the Democrats in Massachusetts, and that’s what we need now. If Ryan thinks that’s what we need, or that’s what conservatives want to hear, he needs to wake up FAST.
No but most of the Ind voters who will decide this election think this way. That is a pitch to the Independent vote.
Yeah. That jumped out at me too. It is a fact though that to get anything done, there has to be some cooperation. It is a war in Washington but at they’d of the day, it takes some votes from both sides for most any bill. The key, and Ryan is a great example of this, is to look for common ground and pull the guys on the other side to ours. He has Ron Wyden of all people on board with his reforms. He moved Wyden to the right....not the other way around. Reagan did this effectively too....getting his key agenda items through a democratic house.
This is a key to putting a dagger in the Obama presidency. He absolutely has refused any inkling of bipartisanship at any point in this presidency...and this ticket is wise to compare and contrast this term with Bush’s, Clinton’s, Reagan’s presidncies and Obama. Using Romney as a GOP governor and a Dem same house in MA is fine with me...as it does illustrate a contrast with the Obama years.
The point is that Obama did not reach across the aisle. He is an ideologue. When Obama had total control over Congress his first two years, he pushed his agenda down our throat including Obamacare and the stimulus. Obama with his executive orders and czars has ruled like a tyrant. He is intent on destroying the opposition.
You need to wake up fast! When he told his mom that she built her own business that’s all we needed to hear for the day!! He’s the real deal and understands that for the most part you can’t always legislates from a single party.It’s how you cut the deal that matters,how you cave or don’t cave that matters. Just ask other dems how Ryan negotiates he is as tough as they come.Time we supported him and Romney and stopped with the nitpicking!
Like it or not, people always want to hear that. So Ryan is going throw out sound bites that might sway persuadable voters. A large majority of Americans say they want A) politicians with principle, and B) politicians that want to work together and get along. Unfortunately, both things can't happen. It's sort of like the majority of voters want A) less spending, and B) no actual spending cuts to almost any program. The two just don't go together, but that is what the public says it wants when polled.
So Ryan has to say he and Romney want to work together with the opposition. I suppose everyone does if the opposition is willing to agree with you, so that's not a lie. I don't think either one of them is as foolish as GW Bush was when it comes to this "kumbaya, lets reach across the aisle crap". R/R know the score and these sorts of statements are just for public consumption.
Wake up and smell reality. The country is not all conservative, it is not all liberal. This is a DEMOCRACY and not a dictatorship by either party.
Remember, this is not a red America or Blue America. It is UNITED states of America. Together we stand, divided we fall.
You are a Democrat proapanda bot in everything but name. Your sort of "conservative" are the useful idiots of the Democrat Party propaganda machine.
