The reason that The Daily Show resonates with such humor, is not only the talented cast they continue to employ, but more so the endless material that our elected politicians continue to supply them!
There was a time when our elected officials were supposed to be the best and the brightest! Unfortunately that time has long passed!
A group of conservative students counter-protested environmental
demonstrators on Wall Street Tuesday by carrying a cardboard cutout of
President Ronald Reagan to the iconic financial site.
Kings College student Campbell Moore said he and a few friends living
in the school’s House of Ronald Reagan decided to take action when they
heard of the demonstrators flooding Wall Street demanding action be
taken to curb carbon emissions.
“The house happened to possess a life-sized cardboard cutout of our
role model, Ronald Reagan,” he told TheBlaze Tuesday evening. “We also
own matching 1984 campaign t-shirts.”
Paul Ryan (R- Wall St.) channels Harvey Dent once again! This time he channeled the clean cut, yet psychotic Batman villian who lives by the flip of a coin, all before most people had their first cup of coffee(and on the same show even).
“We've had some missteps," said Ryan, also noting many conservatives'
concerns that the campaign is failing to project a clear message to
voters. "But at the end of the day, the choice is really clear, and
we're giving people a very clear choice."
Watch some more and this is what you would have seen:
WALLACE: But I have to point out, you haven’t given me the math.
RYAN: No, but, well… I don't have the time… it would take me too long to go through all the math,....
Yes Paul, it is very clear if you went into specifics, of what you planned on doing to our country you would get voted off the island! Ann Romney was wrong, when she said all we have to worry about is Mitt's "mental health" , it looks like we have to worry even more about his running mate's!
JSONLINE recently retained the services of some local bloggers on "both sides" and dubbed it the purple project. It has really turned into a pretty red project with just more opportunity to push the WPRI agenda for free.
In his post, Rodriguez tries to give Paul Ryan (R-Wall St.) cover for ducking debates with his challenger Rob Zerban! Aaron also fails miserably, let's take a look.
Described by many pundits as the top intellectual mind of the
Republican Party, Ryan excels in economic and fiscal policies. He’s a
policy wonk for sure, but also possesses the finesse to communicate his
ideas in a relatable format.
Granted, thebar is not very high, however, outside of schneider(who once compared Paul Ryan to Batman, no kidding), and Rodriguez you would be hard find to find "many" more people to describe Paul that way, especially since his convention speech. You will however find "many" who would call Paul ryan a fraud(27,900,000 google matches to be exact). From Chuck Schumer, to Paul Krugman to Bill Maher and many others.
But Ryan’s ideas and voting record are now the subject to national
scrutiny by journalists, bloggers, economists, think tank analysts, and
partisan advocacy organizations. What can a debate with an untested
county supervisor add to the national discussion?
Umm Aaron, Paul ryan is also running to be congressman from the 1st Congressional District of Wisconsin. Ryan understands that his prospects of becoming VP are not looking good, so he hedged his bets and bought $2,000,000 worth of ad buys. So he must feel the need to get his "message" out to the voters of the First Congressional District. WHat is $2 MILLION dollar ad buy going to ad to the "national debate"?
Ryan has not been timid about his
views on pretty much anything from entitlement spending to tax reform.
For years, Ryan has sounded the fiscal alarm, introducing multiple
budgetary plans that sought to reform third rail issues like Medicare,
Medicaid, and Social Security.
Yes Ryan loves to talk about his "views" on almost anything, as long as he can control the debate and the questions. If he does at least he understands his weakness and refuses to ever answer a question from someone who he does not know!
If Ryan refuses a debate Rob Zerban, it’s not because he’s ducking a
challenge by a formidable opponent. It’s because the debate is
unnecessary. Debates tend to prove two things: who has the better ideas
and who is better at communicating them. Fortunately for Ryan, he has
skills in both areas.
Ryan declined to address Obama's charge that he was among House
Republicans "standing in the way" of legislation designed to help the
drought-stricken heartland. He said only that he would get into "those
policy things later." "Right now I just want to enjoy the fair," he said.
Mr. Transparency and exchange of ideas!
Even if Zerban were a quick study and proficient at communicating, the
debate would likely be a wash. If he’s not particularly adroit, he’ll
last about as long with Ryan as a balloon in a room full of kittens.
Critics of Mitt
Romney's tax reform plan say his proposal leaves out too many details,
but Paul Ryan, the Republican presidential nominee's running mate, says
keeping the proposal vague gives it the best chance for passage through
Congress.
During an interview with Christian Broadcasting Network's David Brody,
Ryan said Romney is following Ronald Reagan's playbook by not divulging
the details about what specific tax loopholes he would close and the
rates that would be set under his administration. Ryan said the reason
is "because we want to get it done."
It does take a lot of balls to tell people we will not tell you what your plan is as a politician UNTIL your elected. The "just trust me" approach, has a hard time working with someone who is a well known liar!
So to wrap up, let's be perfectly clear. Paul Ryan (R-Ayn Rand), is ducking a debate with Rob Zerban because he is scared of losing his Congressional seat. Paul Ryan enjoys the wonders of a government paycheck every week.
