The Dems have been great at controlling the narrative with Mitt Romney and Bain/taxes/flip-flopping/etc. They need to do the same with Ryan, immediately. It should be easy. He's an Ayn Rand worshiping nutjob who wants to end medicare. Let's see the first ad!

(20,709 posts)I agree that the ads against Mitt and Bain and taxes and elitism have been very effective, and they should continue to press Mitt on that, but for better or worse, the VP choice is going to dominate the news at least for a few days. It's going to be the main topic for all the Sunday shows, etc.
I'm just saying that, before Romney gets to pat himself on the back about what a bold choice he's made, the Dems should already be taking shots. Control the narrative from the start: Ryan is an extremist, a desperation pick, and by choosing him Romney has officially decided he wants to privatize Medicare.

(1,418 posts)Paul Ryan is the exact arsehole Obama/Biden have been hoping for.
He's hideous.. more so than even Rmoney himself.
This is perfect- because we've already seen people in our nation- who actually
have a moral compass, attack and deride Ryan's budget meat cleaver which
(hopes) to decimate the social safety net. Really? are ALL repugs in congress on
board with this?
doubtful.
so now Obama's job just got much easier... we citizens who actually have a soul/heart
are going to smack Ryan's absurd "budget" down severely.
it's a win for Obama.
