Paul Ryan: The Gloves Are Off

Paul Ryan: The Gloves Are Off

This is going to be short, but it's not going to be sweet.

Mitt Romney's selection of Paul Ryan as his running mate is nothing less than an across the board endorsement of Ryan's radical budget proposal and, in my opinion, constitutes an outright declaration of war against the American people.

Paul Ryan's budget plan is an direct attack upon the American people, upon the indigent, the poor, the mentally ill, the out of work, the disenfranchised.

It's also a declaration of war against the working class, the middle class, and anyone who aspires to becomea member of the shrinking middle class.

Mitt Romney selected Ryan because he knows himself weak among hard right economic voters, the voters who have embraced Ryan's budget proposal in the belief that it will strangle "Washington" because it will.
