The Ayn Rand ticket: Reward the rich - Enslave the working class - Blame the poor.

[blm]

Hang it around their necks.

No Democratic spokesperson should go on any show without mentioning the fact that the Romney and Ryan Budget is the Ayn Rand budget from the Ayn Rand ticket, and doesn't contain one Christian thought.

2. And hammer on how the Catholic church responded to the budget

I agree 100%.

4. He'll claim to be a devout Catholic, but, everything he supports is as anti-Christ as it gets.

5. Mitt Romney just picked a running mate

whose entire base of ideas on how to run a country comes from a work of fiction.

6. good fiction is based on facts

Ayn Rand couldn't even manage plausible fiction.

I found it heartening to know that even she grew out of it though- She drew Medicare and SSI after poisoning the world with her hate.

9. don't forget. Romney said his favorite book is Battlefield Earth, a scientology screed.

8. And tax the middle class heavily to pay for tax cuts for the richest.

11. Ryan "swears" he is not an Objectivist!!!

[Monk06]

16. Objectivism is a dog's breakfast of ideas lifted from Nietzsche and Herbert Spencer by Ayn Rand who

was an intellectual amateur and self promoter. Anyone who quotes Ayn Rand exposes themselves as an economic and philosophical illiterate.

12. Cue the Gordon Gecko ad any minute now, with Romney saying "Greed is good".

Just dub it over Mitt's stupid voice in any of a hundred inane speeches that Romney gives, then put it on YouTube -- bam! -- instant classic!!

Ryan looks like Ichabod Crane, so there's another idea for an ad.

13. Of course they exemplify Christianity!

Both of them espouse the dogmas of their respective Christian faiths. Ayn Rand wouldn't give the time of day to either man, being as they're theists and want to use that as a basis for making decisions and governing, in addition to the fact that they're both using semi-Objectivist phrasing to paper over what is essentially crony capitalism, i.e. Feudalism.

[blm]

17. Pretty sure neither one of them gives a crop about religion - just money and power

Religion is always the concealment cover of choice. Right next to the flag.

[MNBrewer]

19. That's why I retain some respect for monastic believers

They at least renounce wealth.
