Ryan, a fiscal genius my azz.: “We haven’t.. I don’t want to get wonky on you, but, we haven’t run the numbers on that specific plan.“ Paul Ryan, the numbers guy, hasn’t run the numbers. He probably won’t run the numbers any time soon either. Doing so could prove that he’s a fraud. You’ll just have to trust him when he says he can balance the budget while also annihilating the tax base. It’s Tax Cut Magic. Paul Ryan’s biggest asset, which he did not disclose until he was vetted by the Romney Campaign, was inherited. In other words — he didn’t build that. He had help. Despite the repeated mantra from the Romney-Ryan campaign that “hard-working Americans are what create jobs, not government,” Paul Ryan’s family business — for whom he briefly worked as a
“marketing consultant” — was built in large part on government contracts. Salon reports Ryan Incorporated Central began in 1884 doing government-subsidized railroad construction, then moved into building federal interstate highways, and helped build O’Hare Airport. Ryan Incorporated Central” has had at least 22 defense contracts with the federal government since 1996, including one from 1996 worth $5.6 million. … Mr. Anti-Spending secured millions in earmarks for his home state of Wisconsin, including, among other things, $3.3 million for highway projects. And Ryan voted to preserve $40 billion in special subsidies for big oil, an industry in which, it so happens, Ryan and his wife hold ownership stakes.
Romney/Ryan Rommunism: eliminate ALL taxes on capital gains and dividends, the estate tax, and the gift tax. (the main sources of income for the wealthy), raise taxes on the working middle class, lower taxes for the wealthiest, gift wrap Social Security and deliver it on a silver platter to Wall St., and give grandma a $5,000 voucher for her $20,000 hip replacement.

Where did Paul Ryan develop his “fiscal genius”? From what experience? From what education?
Ryan majored in economics and political science at Miami University, in Oxford, Ohio. Not exactly Ivy
League. He allowed taxpayers to buy his college education for him, even though his family was wealthy. After his sophomore year he flipped burgers at McDonald’s. He worked summers as a salesman for Oscar Mayer. In his early years working on Capitol Hill, Ryan supplemented his income by working as a waiter, as a fitness trainer and at various other side jobs. In 1997 Ryan returned to Wisconsin and worked for his relatives’ construction company, “Incorporated Central”, as a marketing consultant for a year. His entire career – after his free college education – has been in politics where our money covers his paychecks, healthcare, retirement, etc.
In 13 years in the U.S. Senate, Paul Ryan passed just two bills into law:
1. Named a post office, 2. Changed the excise tax on hunting arrows! And his hero is a Russian woman who did not believe in God or that the family has any importance in society…Are those new Tea Party values?
This guy is a complete phony. He preaches fiscal conservatism to the public and then grabs all the taxpayer cash he can when he thinks no one is paying attention.

Polls: Ryan beats Biden in popularity..

Paul Ryan has had a higher favorability rating than Vice President Biden in every major nonpartisan national poll since the Wisconsin lawmaker was picked for the GOP vice presidential slot.
In these polls, Ryan averaged a likability factor 7.5 percentage points higher than Biden and he even bested President Obama’s favorability rating four out of six times.
In CNN’s most recent poll, 49 percent of likely voters had a favorable opinion of Ryan while just 38 percent had an unfavorable view of him. Meanwhile, Biden earned favorable reviews from 46 percent of likely voters and unfavorable reviews from 47 percent. That means Ryan’s overall favorable rating was 12 points higher.
Among independents, the gap was stunning, as Ryan’s favorability rating stood 33 points higher than Biden’s. Lest you think that’s an outlier, a Fox News survey showed a 30-point gap between Ryan and Biden with independents.

Paul Ryan is like bottling a fart and packaging it like it’s Cool Water Cologne. Might be okay to look at, but the insides stink to high heavens.

Ryan better hope his house doesn’t catch fire and his wife and kids are trapped inside. They might not be able to find the address in time. Especially if they know he is home too. Likewise for the Romney’s.
