Paul Ryan - doesn't make any sense

Post by D1B »

The more I read about this guy, the more I dislike him. Typical mealy-mouthed conk who says he's a christian but exhibits no christian values at all, except telling everyone he's a christian and making sure people see him at or near a church.
As I look at the ideas that Paul Ryan brings to battle, I see nothing in them that supports the Janesville that helped make me, and him, who we are today. I see nothing in them to suggest he recognizes the privileges he garnered simply by birth into a successful family. I see nothing in his ideas that reflects Catholic social teaching about finding dignity in communities that give preference to the poor and vulnerable. None of this makes any sense to me if I try to think of Paul Ryan as a sincere, thoughtful, bold leader. It makes more sense if I think of him as someone protecting his privilege, or as someone with a poorly formed sociological imagination.

What I don't get is all the blue hairs that are getting upset. Both his and Obama's plan is targeting more towards the under 55 crowd. No disrespect to our elderly, but just because you've lived longer than me doesn't mean I owe you the golden goose.

As mentioned before, he's a confused randian with a hero complex. Government didn't build his family's business, they simply paid his family handsomely for public works projects! :lol:

So you dislike him because he doesn't exhibit Christian values :lol:
I doubt you would like him if he did exhibit Christian values :kisswink: :kisswink:

Donks are big on the whole "say you're religious and get some good media photos near a church" thing too - it's called being a politician.

The one that shows Romney with a 45-44 advantage among likely voters. The one in which independents backed Romney 42-32%.

Is this a Rush Limbaugh poll? FoxNoise poll?

Every poll I have seen show Romney with a HIGHER disaproval rating than Obama. Obama may stink in the eyes of the voters, but next to Romney/Ryan/Akin, Obama is a sweet smelling flower.

And how many of those polls are oversampling Donks between 5% and 12%? :suspicious:

You can cry all you want, but it has been proven that Rasmussen is the most accurate poll out there. :nod:
