Pay attention, Ryan explains it perfectly right here without the MSM spin.

You pay attention, Ryan claims he thought the others would cut their own gravy trains to protect his, ...months later from the bill passage ( his support of it) when they wouldnt do it when they passed it and he praised it, if you believe that...

O'DONNELL: Congressman, these defense cuts are part of the Budget Control Act. You voted for the Budget Control Act. In fact I went and looked, you put on the a statement at the time it was passed and you called it a victory, and you called it a positive step forward.
So, you voted for defense cuts. And now you're criticizing the president for those same defense cuts that you voted for and called a victory.

RYAN: No, no, I have to correct you on this, Norah. I voted for a mechanism that says a sequester will occur if we don't cut $1.2 trillion spending in government. We offered $1.2 trillion in various — the super committee offered it. We passed in the House a bill to prevent those devastating defense cuts by cutting spending elsewhere. The senate's done nothing. President Obama’s done nothing.

hehehehe...he needs all the spin he can get... basically his defense of his vote is 'i trusted that a pack of thieves, would later vote to cut their own pork products, and by extension commit political suicide, in order to keep the DOD bucks flowing'...???

is that his explanation in a nutshell ???

well, at least he can fall back on his proposed budget plan...
