Dodged a bullet with Paul Ryan.

The nice thing about the Republican Party is that they are so predictable.

[Thankfully they did not choose Rob Portman; then we would be in trouble!]

But of course, Paul Ryan embodies everything that stinks about the Republican Party all rolled up into one guy - they are just slobbering all over him.  And from Wisconsin - no less!!! It's too good to be true! [Recall the “Occupy” movement started in Madison WI to overthrow their “deeply corrupt”…. Republican Governor Scott Walker!!!]*

This snot-nosed ankle-biter (Ryan) is as arrogant as George W, as elitist as Mitch McConnell, and as greedy as the rest of them.  Their slogan should be The Status Quo Works for Us!

Imagine a world where Republicans are back in power…

Here's their To Do list:

1. Repeal Health Care Reform
2. Dismantle Social Security
3. Undo Medicare and Medicaid (those folks just want handouts)!
4. More budget cuts; Less Government!!!! (except the stuff we like... Defense; we can increase that one).
5. Increase taxes – for the Middle Class! Don’t worry; not for anyone making more than $250k!
6. Women have gotten awful uppity lately; get back in the kitchen and bake a pie. Let's put all black men in prison (oh; they already are); any illegal aliens who snuck in; deport them or just shoot them (it’s cheaper); gays, don’t even think about it!
7. Electronic fence with razor wire across the Southern border; and More Guns!!!! It’s our Constitutional Right!!!
8. Student Loans? Don’t worry yourself with an education; you can’t afford it and we will manage things for you. After all, we are rich because we’re smart and you are poor because you’re stupid (and lazy).
9. Don’t forget Capital Punishment; that’s a good one. We’ll be the judge, after all, we’ve got God on our side!
10. The right to vote? Don’t busy yourself with such hifalutin ideas; we will handle the voting; after all you’re too dumb to have a valid ID to vote.
