sell that good to the drooling 'baggers because he doesn't talk crazy like bachmann or gomer or king. I actually have yet to hear Ryan disrespecting the President. How's that gonna fly?

Low-info voters won't care (or believe) how exactly they'll do it but that's the only selling point I see - at least for independents.

It will, on the other hand, give huge tax breaks to the wealthy.

The one percent knows that.

The purpose of Ryan is to fill the election season with horror stories of what his budget would do to all of us, so that when Obama is re-elected, the country welcomes and embraces the planned bipartisan "Grand Bargain" to impose more austerity, cut Social Security, and raise the Medicare eligiblity age as the humane, even generous alternative.
