Axelrod: If Americans clear their afternoon, would Ryan have time to explain Romney's tax plan?

That's slightly rephrased from his tweet, to fit the gist of the tweet and his name into the subject line.

Wonder if Americans clear their afternoon, Paul Ryan would have the time to explain Romney's tax plan? http://huff.to/V1F2Qe

I think it's rather simple - "Fuck everyone who isn't rich - give the money to the 1%." HopeHoops Sep 2012 #5

he makes complicated subjects easier to understand and he does it without condescending to folks. If Romney really wanted to learn how to talk to folks he would be watching old Clinton speeches - but I don't think he gives a damn. He just wants to be in charge.

That pretty much sums it up. The details ARE the devil.

Ryan said the reason he couldn't give specifics was that he didn't have time and it would take too long. It's probably just another classic Ryan lie though. He wouldn't explain any part of the so-called plan if you gave him all day. He's lying about it only be a time concern.
