I think that the Ryan budget is a joke and I am shocked that anyone takes Ryan seriously

but the sequester is close enough to his budget minus the Medicare destruction, and his budget is the only one ever discussed on the TV machines

Glad you're here! MAN he's an idiot, isn't he! And he looks at you with that "Lady Diana" look - chin down, eyes forward - big and round - and looking up a little bit (so you can see the white underneath the iris as well as around it). It's a manipulation, a "little MEEEEEE" look, in his case being "hey, I'm HARMLESS! How on Earth could you look at me and question my motivation?" And all the while he's robbing you blind, just distracting you with his "adorable" blue eyes so you won't pay close attention. You don't fool me for a nanosecond, pal. You're as evil as they come. I do nothing BUT question your motivation, every minute of every day! I don't care how innocent you try to look and how many times you try to bat your eyelashes and give us all those wide-blue-eyed little cutesy-boy "I'm so innocent" looks. NOT FOOLED.

Obama is subverting the constitution by being black.
Paul Ryan is a racist tool for a fool.

You nailed it madokie!

The guy is also a champion hypocrite.

Good one, TxVietVet! Like that a LOT.

and we will believe anything he says. I do think he is dishonest and corrupt. Just my opinion.

Sam

PS He also lies.

and he sure isn't "the numbers guy" as the idiots in his party thought.

He is not a numbers guy or an intellectual. He just plays one on TV.

Sam

As compared to the rest of his party.

Perhaps not as compared to a flock of turkeys, or a classroom full of high school students.

but as compared to your average teapartier, he sure does look like a shiny intellectual, numbers guy.

mostly proves your statement: "he thinks the rest of us are."

But Cruz can't pull it off as deftly as Ryan.

Ted Cruz takes his Shakespeare* too seriously. That is just another way of saying Cruz is not stupid. He is just a really, really poor actor. Someone should tell him to get off the stage.

BUT WAIT A MINUTE

After I posted this, I did a quick search and found out he does have acting experience. Take a look at this quote:

"Senator Ted Cruz is known for his acts of political theater, but the drama we’ve come to expect from him on the Senate floor may trace its origins from his days at Harvard Law School. A new profile of Cruz by Matt Viser of the Boston Globe revealed that the senator played a leading role in the drama society’s production of “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller, back in 1992.

The play, which depicts the demagoguery of the Salem Witch Trials, was written as a critique of Senator Joe McCarthy’s red-baiting tactics of the 1950’s. The character Cruz played, the self-aggrandizing Reverend Samuel Parris, may be fitting for a senator criticized for his own demagoguery."

I think he deserves a special award -- something like Worst Actor in the Political Arena.

*As You Like It.

a performance because cruz came to stage drunk?

he was unable to make it thru the second night. Walked off I think during the second or third act, leaving the cast to improvise for the rest of the show. Improvise as in they lost a main character and had to ad lib....

There is a video at the link above which I encourage you to access. I believe you will truly enjoy watching Cruz perform, and I do not believe you see in any difference in his performance on stage and off.

Perhaps I should put this in a separate thread for all to enjoy??? Or just wait for a strategic moment to do so?

Sam

when he was running for VP to apparently augment the statement he was making he would not cut Social Security. He had her standing right beside him as he spoke. I just could not believe the audacity of lying while campaigning in front of Mom about something that could impact her income....

There is no low too low for him to sink while campaigning for office.

Sam

He thinks he'll be the next president and he's got a little spittle on his chin.

The GOP tells their sheep to follow them off the cliffs and it leaves Democrats a full time job to try to hold them from jumping. The GOP gets together and soothes themselves by saying it is the mean old liberals causing problems but do not recognize those in the GOP making stupid statements about women's reproductive system.

Gee Paul: Do you think George W. Bush and his 100's of signing statements were increasingly lawless? How about lying the nation into an illegal war? Gitmo? Did you ever address that lawlessness between 2003-2009?

What a Fucking Loser! Keep playing to the "Blue Hair Fox News Viewers", who still don't like the "uppity black guy" in the White House. You should be ashamed of yourself, but and your Republican crowd have no shame!

would be more appropriate.

At it again. Paul Ryan should go do another fake charity event.

Which speaks to the problem Democrats face: enunciating a consistent
and coherent liberal vision with conviction and moral gravitas to a
populace that is totally wrapped up in and brainwashed by conservative
self-reinforcing ideology.

Shaking people from their mental tree is difficult, but we must try.

Isn't he the guy who made up the story about running a marathon, and it turns out he couldn't have run it, and there was proof to that.
Later he made some sort of joke. He doesn't know what he is talking about. He should go run another marathon. Fuck the media for giving him so much attention..

Paul Krugman came right out and said ... in a recent column, that Paul Ryan is INNUMERATE. Some of us will remember the excellent book, Innumeracy, by John Allen Paulos. It's about the mathematical equivalent of illiteracy.

The fact that Ryan is revered by Republicans shows how dumb they are.

another k & r

That's not stupidity, that's just plain evil and just plain wrong.

To operate at Ryans level of mendacity a person must be intelligent and have more than average creativity.

But I don't think 'Hunter' used the term to actually refer to Mr Ryan's mental acuity. It was used as a disparagement, to work as such a word merely needs to be recognized as transmitting a pejorative meaning.

I agree with you that Mr Ryan knows that his products are tools for the selfish capitalism of the politically active super rich who would destroy federalism and all expectation of obligation that the rich fairly contribute to society.

eom

In the tradition of Karl Rove, he continues to pretend it's possible to create his own reality, and make us all accept it without condition. When will people stop voting for clowns like him?

Question: What is meaner and stupider than one Republican?

Answer: More than one.

Sadly he is a traitor playing to a base of low information voters.

Who can forget those immortal words from the words from the Republican Convention? Also a theological nitwit. Thanks for that unsolicited conformation Congressman.

Their entire thought process is corrupted.

This is a guy who flexes on selfies.We could with as much authority say Paul Ryan is body builder.

theory. Both Bush and Reagan used this interpretation to nullify bills actually passed by congress. Bush and Cheney's abuse of power throughout their administration is well documented. To wit: Republican's are hypocritical assholes.

The republicans sure know how to pick their VPs.... Cheney...Palin...Ryan....

MH

with that widow's peak and he is the same color as a paper bag and when he furrows his brow he looks like a paper bag and has about that much hot air.

Paul Ryan violates the Constitution every time he walks in the door of the Capitol Building.
