— Ace Best reason? Because the entire Republican Party is going to have the Ryan Plan hung around their necks, and none of them can explain it extremely well.
Ryan can. Ryan may be the only one who can. So shouldn't he take point?
Several House Republicans, however, tell NRO on background that some members feel like they were “thrown to the wolves” without sufficient preparation for the questions they’ve been facing back in their districts. The budget was adopted on a Friday afternoon before a two-week recess, they point out, and members were handed a sheet of talking points to take with them before they went home. “There’s only one Paul Ryan,” one says. “And it’s not that the budget isn’t a great plan, but there’s just so much in there that a lot of us haven’t been able to digest to the point where we can defend it as eloquently as he does.”
This completely makes sense. If Ryan is really the only one who can sell the Ryan Plan -- honestly, Mr. Ryan, you need to run. Our candidate can't beta-male himself by deferring questions to you. And Democrats are going to have a lot of questions and a lot of Mediscare stuff.
Ryan says he wants to be the Paul Revere of Financial Problems.
Well, Mr. Ryan, we may need a combo Paul Revere and George Washington.
If every Republican can become even half as capable as Paul Ryan at defending the GOP budget, itÂ’s difficult to see how Democrats, in the absence of a coherent plan of their own, stand a chance in this debate. In this interview with CBS News, Ryan easily and artfully shoots down just about every Liberal talking point on his budget plan...
Yes, he's good.
One bit of good news from the polls: Seniors are actually... the most receptive to Ryan's plan out of all cohorts? And the most strongly opposed is... the young?
Well, in that NRO article linked above (the one about off-the-record Republicans grumbling that they feel throw to the wolves), some Representatives say that the moment seniors find out the plan won't touch those 56 and older, but only 55 and younger, there is considerable relief.
Integrative Complexity
Whatever the F it is, Paul Ryan's got more of it in his Bic than Obama has in his 2-wood.

Take the hit. Suck it up.
The only thing at stake is the future of our country, but to these pricks that's less important than their position as third ranking member on the house anal sphincter analysis committee.

Yeah, my sentence made no sense, but now the g-d game is tied anyway.
I'd absolutely welcome a Ryan run. Worst case scenario, he gets some experience for a future, more likely, run.

Yankees just beat the White Sox behind a gem of a game pitched by Colon.
That's the only important sport.
Hockey is for sissies.

Huh?
Are you talking about Rand, or are you referring to Ryan as a "child of Ron Paul?" And if so, what the fuck are you talking about?

Hmm, I see the left ramping up on their "Eddy Munster" slurs. I'm sure a team has already been deployed to Wisconsin to dig up any dirt they can on him. (The latest screeds have been about how his father died when he was 16, and he collected Social Security payments til the ripe old age of 18--calling him an hypocrite, even though he was a minor child at the time).
He is definitely articulate and knows how to craft a speech (was a speechwriter for Jack Kemp and Bill Bennett). So he is an effective communicator. He has Bachelor's Degrees in Econ and Poly-Sci.

He can hold his own. He's a Midwesterner, so the racist shit won't fly. He's young, he smarter than the rest and he has no baggage.
He's also NOT a Mormon, or a wacko Baptist preacher, or a serial whorer(newt) or a racist (ron paul) and he doesn't have a limp dick (see rest of field).
West for VP.

They get paid a very nice salary, they have huge staffs, everything is done for them, and their only real job is to understand the legislation that is put before the house. Yet they seem not to be able to perform that elementary task. What kind of retards do we have in the United States House of Representatives?

Okay, I'll admit one thing; the Red Sox have the greatest ballpark in baseball. And when the Steinbrenners buy it and make it home of the AAA Boston Yankees I'll go up there to see games all the time.
Other than that? The Red Sox don't suck -- they swallow.

The only reason the Steinbrenners can buy it is because of those damned Repblicans and them not favoring a death tax. And Georgie choosing the correct fiscal year to kick it.

I had great seats. 12 rows behind 1st base. One of the die-hard Red Sox fans who love their team so, so much was happy to sell his tickets to us for face value. They were quite comfortable, and obviously designed for normal sized people. That's probably why all the best seats are filled by Yankees fans. The freaks from Boston and the rest of that shit-hole state are consigned to the crap seats.

I agree with this; poor fucking babies that have to actually take something and try to understand it. Fuck them; the private sector awaits if those simpering cocksuckers can't carry their weight. I've heard that Ryan isn't that popular with some of the clean toga crowd all of whom deserve to be primaried.
Strangely enough, according to Fred Barnes, Barney's Frank gave Ryan advice when he first was elected to concentrate on being an expert on one or two things and fuck being a generalist with knowledge of any topic as deep as a mud puddle. Obviously he followed that advice on the budget, which he admits isn't rocket surgery but requires a line by line understanding of WTF is there.

My first real job was about a 60 hour week, for 1/3 the pay of these pricks, and I didn't have a staff. But I got my work done. And most people around me did too. If I had walked into my boss's office and said that he hadn't given me enough time to do my work he would have told me to find another job.
Fuck them all.

He's a Midwesterner, so the racist shit won't fly.
His college sweetheart was black and he has a black sister-in-law, so they'd have a hard time getting the racist label to stick.
