But I don't really think the author carries through with that statement. If anything he poses Ryan as Obama's straw man, or stalking horse.
So when do we get Obama attack ads that state Ryan is an axe murderer? lol
zherok:
There's plenty of material to go after that doesn't involve making shit up. Like his stance on medicare and social security when Florida is such an important swing state. I doubt Ryan's stance on abortion is going to help Romney's already trailing numbers with women, either.
I can't say I see his budget work as terribly strong on identifying where the numbers are coming from either, but that seems par for the course with the Romney ticket.

I would like you to clarify your "his stance on Medicare" It just makes no sense to me, other than fiscal/political blindness on your part. Medicare would not have had enough money, through payroll deductions as the funding mechanism starting in 2017. They've known that for years. But that was before Obama raided this source of money to pay for Obamacare. Yeah, to the tune of 1/2 TRILLION dollars over the next ten years.
Do you finish off Medicare, or do you do something to fix it. Oh yeah, raise taxes, that's right. I just love the idea of paying more in taxes to fund you pie in the sky crapola. I am not part of the 1%. So, I guess the middle class is going to be taking the brunt of this, that or gramma will just have to hope she drops dead before she really needs medical attention.
Ignorance is the Obama/Biden ticket's best hope for a victory. Because no one from the left seems to remember that we do have to actually pay for things somehow.
Burkingam:
Yeah, jaybug, we all know you love it when sick people who can't afford health care just die, because then you don't have to pay more taxes and that's great.
