Palin is too dumb, Bachman is too crazy, Romney is too phoney. Ryan is smooth talking, young and a true Rand disciple. He can motivate the baggers and sheeple better then anyone else. He MUST be exposed by Obama even more so than Willard.

(38,437 posts)It's funny -- a lot of Tea Partiers refer to Obama as a fascist.
Let's just skip ahead on the ad homenim and call Ryan "Hitler."

(39,154 posts)--it was a major, global political movement and still is. It never went away. It's foundation is corporate direction of the state at the expense of personal rights. Do not underestimate its chances of being resurrected by degree. In truth we have been sliding in that direction for 30 years.

(39,154 posts)Granted, you cannot be POTUS and be anti-corporation, but he seems to be promoting laws that the ruling class opposes.
Anyway, as a Kenyan, Muslim, Communist, he can't be a fascist too.
When Obama declared the Ryan budget as "thinly veiled social Darwinism", I think he was being much too generous. In reality when one looks at the budget and more at the consequences of the budget, Obama should have called Ryan's plan for what it really is: GENOCIDE. For all their flag waving and Randian individualism, the Tea Party is totalitarian and fascist at its core. This is basically because of their fear and ignorance and has led to them clinging to their old outmoded value system and distrust of progress. The Tea Party Republicans remind me of Xerxes trying to hold back and punish the sea with chains.

(20,776 posts)He was trying to look like Ronald Reagan. To have another Reagan would be bad, but to have this Reagan Poser with a deeper agenda is down right evil. If elected vice president, this guy is one heart beat away from the Presidency.. Imagine him doing to the country what Scott Walker has done for Wisconsin. Add on to that...if he starts invading countries... the rest of the world might not take too kindly to it. He might end up giving the Conservative Christians their wish... for Armageddon.

(53,410 posts)he actually advocates and has written out his plan to literally kill people through legislating indifference to their plight. Once in power why wouldn't he make his plan more efficient by using more direct methods? He obviously believes in what he thinks. Who would stop him? Certainly not the Republican party.
