Mr. Budget joins Mandate Mitt. Whoopdeedo.
So long as Paul appears in the name, so it seems. Ryan voted for the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003. He also voted for the TARP bailout and the auto bailout. With conservatives like these, who needs liberals?
Who cares? Being a VP is like playing left field in the pee-wee leagues ... nothing ever happens out there, but you gotta have a body there. Bit of a shame to waste Ryan that way ... I mean, he does have those piercin' blue eyes ....

He also voted to raise the debt ceiling. There's some chatter about him at least being a supporter of a gold standard, but Bob Murphy debunks that here: http://bit.ly/MoMEc2
"Note this Ryan proposal carefully. It is a perfect example of Ryan at work. He creates complex proposals that throw everything in upheaval that appear to be going in directions they are not. When things finally settle, they ultimately end up where banksters and elitists want things to end up in the first place. "

Very good article. Thanks, Angela. I guess behind those piercin' blue eyes exists a shifty character on par with Alan Greenspan.

ummm ... I'm confused (again) ... who the h*ll is Bob "Murphy"? Or did I miss a memo?

He has nice hair. Pretty sure I had a conversation with Laura about him regarding this important qualifier.

Even parts it on the same side as Reagan.

Thanks, Eric ... I think I'm caught up again.

Hair can be very important (albeit very superficial). Name the last bald president who was actually elected? DDE, and he was a war hero and national icon.
