Paul Ryan grabs for the gusto
by Roger Simon
......
The left-wing lackey media — and we have plans for them that are going to make ice floes look like a picnic — have figured out that under Ryan’s budget plan, Mitt Romney would pay an effective tax rate of around 0.82 percent.
But you know what? That’s more than Romney has averaged for the past 20 years! Why else do you think he is refusing to release years of back tax returns?
Mitt is a problem. We, the base, never liked him that much. We believe the winner of the Ames Straw Poll should automatically become the Republican nominee. And Michele Bachmann agrees with us.
But Paul Ryan was a brilliant choice for us, the base. Maybe it won’t attract others. Who cares?
Hispanics? Who needs them?
The elderly? All we need to do is throw a few butterfly ballots and hanging chads at them and watch them walk around in a daze.
The independents? Yeah, right. They will be too busy listening to NPR’s 10-part “History of Quilting in Bhutan” to vote.
Does Ryan help us secure the three states — Florida, Virginia and Ohio — that we absolutely need to win the presidency? No. But he is a total foe of abortion, wants to cut off funds for Planned Parenthood, is pro-gun and not only can kill a deer with a bow and arrow, but, in a pinch, can dispense with the bow. Or the arrow.
This is what the base likes. This is what the base needs. We haven’t been this excited since McCain chose Palin. OK, bad example. We haven’t been this excited since Dole chose Kemp. OK, another bad example. We haven’t been this excited since George H.W. Bush chose Quayle. Ha! Gotcha, there.
