Paul Ryan And Cynthia Davis-- Separated At Birth?

Earlier this afternoon we met one of the Republican Party's dimmest bulbs, Missouri state Rep. Cynthia Davis, a religious fanatic whose latest flourish of the kind of degenerative disease known as extreme Republicanism took the form of advocating-- as the chair of a state special committee on children and families-- that children are better off when they're hungry. Think of all the money we'll save if we don't have to subsidize a bunch of poor children's lunches. That's what they get for being born into poor families! But no one is pointing to Cynthia Davis as a future leader of the Republican Party. Paul Ryan, on the other hand, is a less rough around the edges version of Davis-- and people are talking about him as a future leader of the Republican Party.

Yesterday he was on GOP-TV's "Right Now" with Chris Wallace-- with much the same message as Davis-- just in a smoother package. He's complaining about equality and Obama trying to "Europeanize" America. "The problem with that," he warned ominously, "is that it takes people and it limits than from being about to reach their potential. It drains them from their ability and their incentive to make the most of their lives and lulls them into lives of complacency and dependency on the government." He still defends, however, among all this right wing claptrap, his vote to spend billions of dollars to bail out banksters when Bush was president. Like Davis, Ryan just wants to incentivize the little children to be all that they can be. Aren't these Republicans just wonderful humanitarians! Watch this weasel-- and please consider tossing in a few bucks to the StopPaulRyan effort.



UPDATE: Did Ryan's Smug Attitude Drive GM Out Of Southeast Wisconsin?

He was bragging how he voted to bail out the banksters and how he opposed a much less costly plan to help GM. So GM decided to locate their new plant for energy efficient cars in Michigan instead of Janesville, the doofus' hometown. Looks like there are consequences when voters decide to keep re-electing people who hate working families and their aspirations and just represent the banksters who finance their careers in politics. Paul Ryan is worse than a plague for Wisconsin.
