Guess war with Syria and Iran will still be on the table.....neocons are happy.
"Defense[sic]" Hawks placated
Hopefully, Ryan's belief that deficits are as big of a threat to our national security as Islam can help restrain Romney. I'll start barfing, however when Ryan comes out as an obsequious little toady of Mitt Romney like Palin did to McCain. We see how far that got Palin.
Oh, wait.....
Then there is this bit of political duplicity that makes Paul Ryan a perfect fit for the Romney campaign:
“Madame
Speaker, This bill offends my principles, but I’m going to vote for
this bill in order to preserve my principles, in order to preserve this
free enterprise system…”
And hold on there Charlie Brown before Lucy yanks that football away....talk is cheap: Ryan's ACTUAL record per
