In reply to the discussion: Dumb question: WHY DID RMONEY PICK RYAN? [View all]PayAttentionFool
(57 posts)Friday afternoons is Trash Day in DC politics, now some may ask why is that called Trash Day, well it is because nobody except political junkies are paying attention when something you really don't regular people chattering about all weekend so you announce it Friday late in the day.
rMoney has been being hammered on his taxes almost to the point of being a distraction and all anything people want to talk about, rMoney could have waited closer to the convention when everyone would be watching and the media would have givenen him all the time he wanted to roll out the VP pick, now it appears that the choice of Ryan is nothing more then a desperate atempt to distract people from his tax problem.
Again it comes back to why Ryan...becasue it does not matter who he picked at all, win or lose for Mitt, the 99% lose and the GOP wins even if President Obama wins in a landslide. Ryan is nothing more then red meat to the RW base.
Gee now why would you post that?
Because that is the reality and the truth.
No REAL 60 seat majority in the Senate nor a majority in the house, the best the Senate can do is a 50/50 split and toss in the Blue Dogs and you have a defacto Pub Majority in the Senate.
4 more years of grid lock is what we will get, along with hoping and praying one or 2 of the Reich Wing a-holes on the SCOTUS croaks and President Obama gets to nominate a moderate Dem, because we all know a Liberal progressive Judge will never be confirmed.
For all intensives purposes the election is over now and America Lost.
This is what bipartisanship looks like folks and has always been President Obamas achilles heal .
The conservations now need to turn to how to mitigate any damage from the RW the next 4 years.
