Thanks for nothing Paul Ryan

 

In negotiations there is a saying "shoot for the stars and you might get the moon." Basically ask for everything you could dream about and you might be able to end up with close to what you really wanted. Republicans in Congress have never learned this lesson. They shoot for their nuts and typically end up shooting their own feet. Meaning they start out asking for less than they should dream about and end up with only looking spineless with a bloody foot.

Ryan as VP is a great plan

I realize I haven't been around much this month. Sorry bout that. Trying to move and got a little busy and a few things suffered for it. Don't believe I haven't been thinking about this place though. We still have to stay vigilant and make sure we get Obama on the unemployment line come Nov.

All that out of the way. Congrats to Mitt Romney for not screwing this up. In Paul Ryan you have a man that will destroy Joe Biden in every debate that they have for the VP's provided Obama and Biden are man enough to actually agree to any. Which I still doubt they will agree to any more than 1 or 2 and with this pick I don't believe Obama has enough faith in Biden to go against someone like Paul Ryan and actually not look, well exactly like Joe Biden.

Paul Ryan Confident in Repeal of Obamacare

I wish I could share his confidence during his interview with Breitbart. However I don't believe for a minute that Mitch McConnell or John Boehner have any kind of back bone to pull it off. I think Boehner can be forced into the vote by the actual adults in the room in the House but the Senate I fear is a lost cause.

Reid will never allow McConnell to bring the bill forward and, McConnell will fold like the cheap suit he is just so he doesn't upset the apple cart. Remember it was McConnell who killed Senator Jim Demint's bill to force the entirety of the Obamacare bill to be read on the Senate floor before it could be voted on. I guess he wanted to wait until he passed it to see what was in it.

Ron Paul in Iowa

I'm not really going to delve into the concept of "could" Ron Paul win Iowa. Frankly it's a caucus and no one is better organized or has more of a rabid fan base. But my real question comes from the intrigue that Hot Air threw into my mind when I was reading this post.
