Paul Ryan: Still Delusional And Lying, And A Negative For His Party In The Future!

Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan, the Vice Presidential nominee on Mitt Romney’s ticket, and the chairman of the House Budget Committee, has learned nothing from the results of the Presidential Election of 2012.

He has said that he was stunned at the loss of the Romney-Ryan ticket, which shows just how delusional he really is.

He has said that the Ryan plan to privatize Medicare was a good plan that had support, forgetting that it is clear that his ideas were one of the major problems for Romney in gaining support. Ryan added nothing positive to the campaign, except for his good looks and his emphasis on physical fitness, sorry to say!

Ryan also said that Barack Obama did not have a mandate, because the Democrats did not win the House of Representatives. But he fails to point out that the Democrats actually gained more popular votes nationally for the House, but were faced with gerrymandered districts because of many states having Republican control of the state legislatures and the Governorship, due to the Tea Party wins in many states in 2010. Sadly, this will make it difficult for the Democrats to win enough seats for the majority throughout this decade, although the margin of Republican control is down from 25 to 17 seats.

So the likelihood is divided government throughout this decade, with Democrats having the upper hand in the Presidency and the Senate, but the Republicans having the edge in the House of Representatives.

Also, Ryan’s claim that because his party controls the House, therefore the President does not have a mandate, is totally preposterous, as Richard Nixon had an opposition Congress all the way through his time in office, and Ronald Reagan had a split Congress for six years, with a Democratic House and Republican Senate, but both claimed a mandate.

So Paul Ryan is flailing in the wind, without any arguments that make sense, but still with the potential to make trouble for Barack Obama over the next four years. But the more trouble he makes, the more the GOP will be weakened nationally for the White House and the Senate in the next four years!
