wow. just read today that Ryan married a trust fund baby who also used to work as a Washington lobbyist for big pharma and tobacco companies. this weenie may actually give Romney a run for his money in the unlikeability department.

born into inherited wealth, married into more inherited wealth, worked on the taxpayer dime his entire professional career -- no wonder he idolizes Ayn Rand. lol!

here's another Paul Ryan gem from the WSJ.

Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan told an Ohio television station that he never asked for federal stimulus money. But hours after the interview was posted online Thursday, the Wisconsin congressman backtracked, saying that he’d forgotten about letters he wrote, endorsing stimulus projects in his state.


lying or stupid? you make the call.

Seems Ryan and Romney work from the same play book...

Is 'forgetfulness' a quality one should look for in a potential Vice President?
