About this Paul Ryan fella... Of course my lib FB Friends are going off the handle on him, but they have gotten more ridiculous than my right wing friends lately so I can't trust them anymore. Was listening to Dennis Miller tonight, don't put too much stock in what he says either, but he was talking about Ryan like he's a highly intelligent person that really knows what the fuck he's talking about. Apparently he's the main architect of the Republican's budget proposals of late. He's all about cutting spending, which seems extremely necessary to me, but he's also big on cutting taxes which seems to be working against the spending cuts if paying down the deficit is the goal.
Miller also said he was squeaky clean and there wouldn't be any dirty laundry. At this stage of the game I'm pretty sure I'd rather see a candidate that isn't such a goody two shoes prig. But that's a whole 'nother issue. Of course Miller's probably full of shit and he's as dirty as they come, but whatever...
I'd be encouraged for the right wing if I thought they were supporting an intelligent candidate because of his intelligence, regardless of their positions on the issues. I mean, after George Bush and Sarah Palin I'm inclined to believe that the intelligence of their candidates is not a big priority for the right wing, but you know...
Anyway, I guess my question to you, my brain trust, is... What do you think of Paul Ryan?
