Why I believe Paul Ryan is a death blow to the Romney campaign

[JaneyVee]

There are MANY, here are a few. Feel free to add your own.

1-He's part of a GOP congress that currently has a 12% approval rating.

2-Him and Romney will be on the defense the entire time, forced to defend their budget to the press and constituents. Not to mention their sheer hypocrisy (Ryan collected SS and never held a private sector job, he's a Govt worker with a net worth in the millions yet complains about teacher salaries, etc. etc.)

3-Choosing Paul Ryan made this election no longer a referendum on Pres.Obama, instead it is now a referendum on themselves, their ideologies, and their plans to dismantle 75yrs worth of societal gains.

Plus all the other completely deranged statements and actions from Paul Ryan, from arresting senior citizens at town halls, to denying climate change, to being an Ayn Rand fanboy, to writing a budget that is so awful Nuns LITERALLY rented a bus and drove it cross country just to protest its existence.

Oh and, where are the tax returns, Mitt!

1. None of that would make any difference to a hard core repub

The tea party demographic loves ryan

2. If Jesus were running as a Democrat, the teabaggers would still vote Republican.

The question in, what are the less crazy Republicans likely to do? And the Independents? Ryan's plans for Medicare and Medicaid are going to scare a lot of people, as well they should.

3. Hard Core Republicans are not the majority

So let them love Ryan.

The majority will take their votes elsewhere.

4. True, but his budget is exactly the type of shit that turns Independents completely off.

5. consider he worships a raging fascist atheist. Get that out there. Rand was an atheist and

he worships her. that will totally piss off the pugs.

6. Here is their main problem

It is Hubristic.

They think he is smart. They think Ryan knows a formula.

They will not be scared but confident. Confident in a stupid Gingrich kind of way.

My tagline says it all.

Hubris goes before the defeat. Humility goes before the victory.

They are all arrogant and Ryan is going to make more so.
