They still think that Paul Ryan--Lyin' Ryan!?--is an asset!?
New York Times: "Through the halls of Congress and well beyond, a whisper campaign is bursting into the open: Rather than burden him with the usual constraints on a ticket's No. 2 not to upstage or get ahead of the presidential nominee, let Ryan be Ryan and take a detailed, policy-heavy fight to President Obama and the Democrats."

Edit; it's early and dark and I'm not awake yet

(50,795 posts)He loses his congressional race.
He gives the Republicans one less excuse for why they lose and make it more difficult for them to regroup.

(14,881 posts)Put him in front of as many seniors as possible, where he can talk to his hearts content about replacing Medicare with vouchers and Social Security with the stock market.
And whatever other horrible ideas their so-called intellectual giant (did they mean jumbo shrimp?) has.

(290 posts)Romney's ego and arrogance won't stand for Lyin' Ryan to upstage him...His tone already seems bitter when Lyin' Ryan is mentioned. As in the 60 Minutes piece when asked about exceptions to abortion, he said he's (Ryan) isn't running for president, I am.....

We already know his "detailed policy" doesn't actually have any detail, he just said it did and beltway pundits eager for a conservative wonk just took him at his word. Everyone who has actually looked at his policies has found all the detail of the Underpants Gnome's business plan.

(13,992 posts)Please do. Please let Ryan talk at length about his plans to liquidate Medicare and tax the snot out of the middle class.
I'm sure that Rob is hoping that Joe Biden hangs Ryan out to dry during the VP Debate. It could be enough to turn his district blue.

(19,458 posts)So they must be "LIE-Heavy" fight. Because they cannot CANNOT campaign on policy. Period. They get their asses booed out of the AARP when they do.
MittTwit and his Boy Blunder are running out of time to etch-a-sketch here. The desperations stinks to high heaven right now.

(5,038 posts)Every time Lyin' Ryan opens his mouth he reveals his shortcomings. This guy is a political lightweight so used to the easy audiences of the right wing echo chamber he actually believes the crap they write about him.
I say unleash Ryan and we can disappear him from the political stage completely in 2012.
