He's like the cheerful bank robber who just shot 10 people and walked out of the bank with a bag of cash and a big smile.

(16,829 posts)I think its the rural voters that keep voting for Ryan, not the city folks. And Janesville isn't really that big of a city. There are anti-abortion billboards out in places like Palmyra. Those folks vote for Ryan.

The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,829 posts)Set him up in a beat-up double-wide in a trailer park in a state far from his home. Hand him $20 in cash and tell him to find a job. He won't have internet access or a cell phone or a car, and his trailer park is a mile from the closest bus line. When he applies for welfare make him do a drug test, and tell him he's an able-bodied adult who shouldn't be freeloading off the government. Then laugh.

The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,829 posts)which is surrounded by a small patch of dead grass littered with beer cans and bottles and cigarette butts. The plastic flamingo next to the mailbox has only one leg and is about to fall over. Ryan is wearing a stained wife-beater undershirt, the tattered remains of his last pair of dress pants, and rubber flip-flops from the dollar store. His toenails need cutting. He's smoking a cigarette and holding a can of Bud Light. He hasn't shaved in many days. Next to him on the steps is a dog-eared paperback copy of Atlas Shrugged.
He draws hard on the cigarette and throws the butt on the ground, then swallows the last of the beer. He tries unsuccessfully to crush the can with one hand, then tosses it across the yard. He picks up the book, leafs through it and shakes his head sadly. "I really believed." he says. "But now? I don't know. I just don't know...." He belches, stands up and scratches his crotch. "I used to have underwear," he sighs. He turns, enters the trailer and slams the door behind him. Immediately there is tinny music from a transistor radio - Barry Manilow.

Ryan is free to sign up for food stamps though.

betsuni
(25,608 posts)he wouldn't wake up a reformed man ready to mend his selfish greedy ways like Scrooge, he'd be even worse than before because obviously the ghosts of Christmas are liberals. He'd fire Mr. Cratchit and send round the prize turkey to the Cratchit home but instruct the delivery guy to wait until Tiny Tim gets excited, hopping up and down with happiness on his little crutch, before saying "Oops! Wrong address, sorry!" and returning it to Paul's house, where he'll throw it in the trash.
