Paul Ryan, Ayn Rand Fan, Brings Writer's Philosophy To Presidential Stage

I would have preferred Palin for VP - she didn't read any books.

Again, it would be far far more interesting if you would even give a hint of what you're thinking as you post this unadorned link.

I cannot vote for Obama.

Again, the more I look at Ryan, the more I like his views. I understand he is a catholic, but I am yet to see become too religious for the WH. I am ready to see him in a question answer with any news or cable channel other than FOX of course.

He does not look at all like a religious fanatic. Ayn Rand's philosophy is basically atheist. http://www.latimes.com/news/politics...,1175099.story

Ryan had said that Ayn Rand's philosphy was a big part of how he viewed life. This was before he became the golden boy of the Repubs.

Well, that brings out my wishy washy. Last month I was ready to vote for Obama, now this Ryan addition sure does slide me back up on the fence. Since I have always liked Romney, unless some ugly stuff comes out in the next three months, I may have to change back. I was so concerned he would go with a Santorum or Perry to satisfy the Extremists, but I should have had more faith in him.

I've seen the term "social darwinism" used to describe Ryan before, don't have a problem with it.

What's the difference between "social darwinism" and "the cream rises to the top"?

Ryan's budget rewards the rich and takes away many benefits from government to the poor, seniors and lower middle class. Robert Reich (The Republican's Social-Darwinist Budget Plan)

It does very little with actually addressing the deficit though. The debt drops to $166 billion by 2018 but then starts growing again.

Pulling up YouTube.

Ryan has had to deal with Obama before concerning Obama's projections etc.

I believe Paul ryan was very very tactful when explaining to the President of the United States that he had his decimal in the wrong place

Well, rewarding the poor doesn't seem to be working, does it?

The budget is what has not worked. Obama's budget never got off the ground as far as I can tell because of Congressional roadblocks. http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget

Obama's budget was voted down by Democrats as well as Republicans each year....he has not received a yes vote on any of them !!!

He of course blames someone else but it is all by design...he does not want a budget...how can you have a budget and then spend what you want ?
