The Republican base buys it because it speaks to their biases, but the rest of the country can be made to understand if the Dems would just do it, and not screw around playing games.
]]>As a vegetable he would be like a palm heart – not really worth the effort required to make it edible and there is a lot of destruction and waste involved.
I don’t think there can be any doubt that selecting Ayn-Rand-Paul-Ryan was because the Mittster is more worried about the Republican base than ‘swing voters’.
]]>Rubio, from our standpoint, would have been a hazardous pick: like the worst of Republicans, he talks a good game. The Zombie-Eyed Granny-Starver, OTOH, is a gift to the Obama campaign and (separately) to the American people, probably balancing at least a few hundred million in campaign contributions to Rmoney.
You know, I never used to be such an “eat the rich” kind of guy. But old age and dwindling fortunes are rapidly changing me. I wonder if BBQ sauce would help me overcome my distaste. I’m already persuaded that Ryan, at least, is a vegetable…
]]>It has to be close to be stolen, or there will be too much trouble and Repubs know it. With the selection of Ryan, Florida just dropped off the list and Obama just got a boost, because seniors weren’t really getting worked up over Romney, but they know who Ryan is and what he wants to do. Rubio would have been a better choice, and not just for Florida.
They might not make the effort to vote ‘for’ Obama, but they will be there to vote ‘against’ Ryan.
I’m waiting to see if the busload of Nuns who have been protesting Ryan’s budget, will start following the Romney campaign around the country. That would be a hoot.
