Instead of blaming Paul Ryan, Republicans ought to blame Speaker Boehner for allowing the Ryan budget to come to a vote and insisting that they all vote for it. Boehner's in way over his head as Speaker of the House. Hearing him slur his words as he gives important speeches suggests the reason he doesn't have a clear head for strategy.
He thinks he's getting over because he looks good in a suit. But the wreckage he's leaving behind ought to alert the party elders to the danger they've put themselves in. They need to look beyond Eric Cantor, too. Conditioning relief to Missouri on tax promises shows he's politically tin-eared.
Republicans are falling apart. We Democrats should thank our lucky stars that John Boehner leads the opposition. What a lucky break!
From what I'm seeing there are few rushpublicans blaming Ryan...they're attempting to spin his lies and circle the wagons. Many not only support Ryan's draconian scam but want to go even further. I just saw one of those asshats on C-SPIN. All but 4 of those shitstains voted for this sham and run as they might, they will now wear it like a Millstone.
Regarding boner...he's one of the worst leaders I've ever seen. Besides not getting any legislation passed (other than the dog & pony votes that are destroying his corrput party) he has no real control of his caucus. He's scheduled votes he's lost and has had to appeal to Democrats to bail out his sorry ass. And he's a gift to the Democrats as his inept leadership has accelerated his party's self destruction. Why help the opposition when they're doing such a magnificent job of destroying themselves...
I'm not comfortable with an active alkie two heartbeats from the presidency. True, the Ryan budget fiasco is good for the Democrats. The partisan in me supports Team Boehner - go team! But still . . . I worry . . . this isn't good for America.
