"We have to expand our appeal to more people and show how we will take the country's founding principles and apply them to the problems of the day to offer solutions to fix our problems," Ryan said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

REALLY? So where did the founder of this country say "to hell with the poor, we only help the rich?" Or where did they say "corporations are people and should be allowed to control congress and tell them what needs to be done?

Republicans have been "fixing" things alright, and all we need to do is go back to the Bush years to see just how "great" a job that was! Maybe their brain dead base will buy into that BS, but facts show that republicans in control cause the problems, they don't fix the problems!
