Paul Ryan was 'Surprised' about the turnout in Urban Areas for Obama


It feels like Paul Ryan has being missing since the VP debates. I can't remember seeing him until election night. Anywho, Muppet face has been reflecting on his loss and next steps.

In one interview, Paul had this to say:
"I think the surprise was some of the turnout, especially in urban areas, which gave President Obama the big margin to win this race," said Ryan, who sat down with WISC-TV reporter Jessica Arp on Monday for the first time following the election. 
"There's always an Electoral College strategy to winning these things, and you know what states you need to win to get to 270 electoral votes. When we watched Virginia and Ohio coming in, those as tight as they were, and looking like we were going to lose them, that's when it became clear we weren't going to win." 
So he was surprised about urban areas? Seriously? I guess Paul was truly obvious about their chances.
Poor thing.

Ted Olson coaches Paul Ryan for the VP Debate


One half the Prop 8 federal case team is actually coaching Paul Ryan for the VP debate. Ted Olson has been helping Paul get ready to face Joe Biden.

CBS News reports:
Olson has already participated in a debate preparation session with Ryan, the campaign said, but they would not disclose the location. Ryan spent his first full day preparing for the Oct. 11 vice presidential debates last Sunday in Oregon).

"Joe Biden has been in elected office for more than 40 years. There are few people in politics with more experience debating the issues than Joe Biden, so we are taking this process seriously. Mr. Olson is one of the most skilled, intelligent, and successful litigators in America - just the kind of opponent needed to prepare the congressman for Mr. Biden," said Ryan spokesman Brendan Buck.
How do you feel about one of the gay rights champions, helping the enemy? Let me know what you think.

Quick Rundown of Paul Ryan's Policies and Voting Record


I have found a quick hit of Demon Eyes' policies and voting record via The Examiner
In 2003, Ryan voted to create the new Medicare Part D program which has increased federal expenditures by hundreds of billions of dollars over the last nine years.

Ryan voted for the 2002 resolution which authorized military force in Iraq, and for the many bills which authorized hundreds of billions to be spent on the Iraq War in the many years after.

In 2008 Ryan voted for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, better known the “Wall Street Bailout.” Ryan also voted for the 2008 bailout of General Motors and Chrysler, votes that are sure to be brought up by the Obama administration.

In 2008 Ryan introduced his most controversial bill, the “Roadmap for America’s Future.” The bill would dramatically reduce income tax rates, including the tax rates for the richest Americans. The bill would also eliminate the capital gains tax and the corporate income taxes, two taxes which tend to affect the wealthiest Americans the most. In order to pay for those tax cuts, the Ryan plan would privatize Social Security and Medicare and make large cuts to programs like Medicaid.

Under the Ryan plan, the current guaranteed payment Medicare system would be replaced with a private voucher system in which each in beneficiaries would be given a voucher to purchase their own health insurance plan. In addition, the Ryan plan would force Congress to dramatically reduce spending, but the plan does not specify what cuts would have to be made. Finally, the Ryan plan would also eliminate many tax exclusions and deductions, such as the current exclusion of employer provided health care insurance.
Ryan's plan truly benefited the rich, making the poor and middle class pay more. Also his plan would not stop the economy from falling out from under. And that's not all; he voted against women getting equal pay, voted against birth control and the hate crimes law.

Also, I showed you his anti-gay beliefs earlier, but there's more to come on that.

Log Cabin Republicans are in Love with Paul Ryan


“Congressman Paul Ryan is a strong choice for vice president, and his addition to the GOP ticket will help Republican candidates up and down the ballot,” said R. Clarke Cooper, Log Cabin Republicans Executive Director. “As chairman of the House Budget Committee and author of the Republican “path to prosperity” that provided the blueprint for serious spending cuts in this Congress, nobody is more qualified to articulate a conservative economic vision to restore the American economy and stimulate job creation.

At the same time, Congressman Ryan’s 2007 vote in favor of the Employment Nondiscrimination Act and his consistent willingness to engage with Log Cabin on a range of issues speaks to his record as a fair-minded policymaker. Overall, while Log Cabin Republicans have not completed the endorsement process for the 2012 presidential election, this is a choice that all Republicans can be excited about, and which sends a good message about the kind of campaign Governor Romney wants to run, and the kind of president Governor Romney wants to be.”

It's Official, Mitt Romney chooses Paul "Demon Eyes" Ryan





This should be known as Romney-Ryan Ticket... Romney-Ryan

Or the White Bread Ticket

Interesting Quote: Paul Ryal


“I believe that marriage should remain between a man and a woman, and I have heard from many of the people I represent who are concerned about activist judges abusing their power and rewriting our society’s definition of marriage. I had hoped that this amendment wouldn’t be necessary, but increasingly it appears that laws such as the Defense of Marriage Act will not be sufficient to protect marriage from certain courts that distort state and federal constitutional law. Marriage is not simply a legal arrangement between individuals. The institution of marriage is an integral part of our civil society and its significance goes well beyond eligibility for benefits and similar considerations. Its future should not be left to a few overreaching judges or local officials to decide. That’s why I support this effort to amend our Constitution to protect marriage.”

Mitt Romney is set to pick Paul Ryan as his VP


News is buzzing that Mittens will pick Paul "Demon Eyes" Ryan as his VP. If this is true, he will be losing the senior vote and the youth vote.

Plus, the pesky Ryan plan will be put on blast.

I'm sure the Obama team is doing the Electric Slide if this is the news.
