Is Paul Ryan an idiot or is his budget the latest distraction cooked up by the rethugs to

[mfcorey1]

torpedo the President's agenda? (Watch out or you will be knocked down by the media chasing the nonsense.)

1. BOTH!

He is an idiot and they are doing everything they can to block the President.

Along the way, they want to kills all social programs.

[deutsey]

2. One sort of depends on the other

[Summer Hathaway]

3. Is Paul Ryan an idiot?

Yes, he is - and obviously so.

Anything that follows that statement is moot.

[global1]

4. Everything - Just Everything That Is Negative Regarding The Budget & Cuts & Lack Of New Revenue Is..

in this monstrosity that Ryan put together. No sane person would even attempt to put their name on it - let alone come out in front of the Press and try and defend it. So what do you think is the answer to your question?

Ryan and the Repugs must think the American People are really stupid that we wouldn't see through what they are doing. How could they even think that they would have any support by those that even say they are of their Party?

It just blows my mind that they really think that they are serving their people. Don't forget that when Ryan was up there talking about and defending his new budget offering - that he was surrounded by Repugs in support of him.

5. Unfortunately, all these teaparty and libertarians are doing is making Jeb seem sane

Which is EXACTLY what Jeb wants people to think

Question is whether Rand and Ryan and all the others are working for Jeb to win so their job in the house/senate would be easier.

Either way, only way to get rid of these people is to vote them all out of office and replace them with a democratic candidate or the one who will caucus with them

And don't let them tell you President Obama's health care is not good. Because it is.

6. He's preaching to the choir

Gotta get a leg up on 2016, what with Jebbie all over the tube calling reporters crack addicts.

[malaise]

7. Lyan Ryan is on Morning Joe Scum right now

What an asshole

[malaise]

8. The fugger believes that if the President talks to the American people he's against ReTHUGs

Government of the people not of the House Budget Committee scumbag.

[demwing]

9. Maybe he's the latest boogey man

Designed to keep our attention off the president's agenda?

Oh no! Better get behind kill lists and entitlement "reform" or you'll let in the REALLY scary Republicans!

[NC_Nurse]

10. He's just the spokesmodel for the RW billionaires. Their operatives most

likely wrote his budget proposal. He's just the salesman.

[KharmaTrain]

11. He Wants To Be King Of The Teabaggers...

To the great unhinged they didn't lose the election...it was Willard and Aiken's fault. Had there been a "real" CONservative then surely President Obama would have been put in his place and oxygen thieves like Eddie Munster get to prove they were "right". That's Ryan's game right now...he can't slink into the shadows like Willard and still thinks he's got a future...thus he wants to position himself for '16 and beyond...either to replace Boner or make a run at the White House. Either way he needs to be the darling of the dirtbags.

This is also vindication for him. He took the beating last year very personally and is gonna show us. Most likely his "budget" will pass the House and he can claim to be some "economic" expert again. It's more beltway kabuki theater. Hopefully the Democrats have seen this tired old show before and laugh it off...

[randome]

12. "...cooked up by the Rethugs..."

Stop thinking they have anything like an organized game plan. No one is running the GOP. It's more ludicrous members just go off and do their own thing.

[Frustratedlady]

13. Ryan is the "go to guy" when they need to kill time...

He jumps right in with both feet and makes a fool of himself, thus saving them from showing the public how stupid they can be. Ryan will say anything, do anything and all you have to do is give him the spotlight. He glows in attention.

Every village has one.
