GOP pros fret over Paul Ryan

Interesting, PrintSmith makng the argument Romney is a RINO.

Paul Ryan: More Than a Just a Guy Who Wants to End Medicare!

Rep. Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney's new vice-presidential pick, is best known as the author of and lead cheerleader for a budget plan that would decimate the social contract and require the middle class to pay for massive tax breaks for the wealthy. But it would be a mistake to focus just on his horrible economic ideas. Paul Ryan is not just a one-trick pony.

For instance, while Ryan preaches Ayn Rand's gospel of economic greed and personal freedoms, he isn't so fond of individual freedom when it comes to gay people or women. In fact, when it comes to reproductive choice, Ryan is nostalgic for the 1950s. He co-sponsored a so-called "Personhood bill," which would classify abortion as first-degree murder and outlaw some of the most common types of birth control. A similar bill in Mississippi was rejected last year by 55 percent of voters. That's right: on reproductive freedom and birth control, Paul Ryan is to the right of Mississippi.

That's not even to mention Ryan's support for last year's "Let Women Die" bill, which would have allowed hospitals to refuse abortions to women, even if their lives were at risk. He also voted, along with most of his Republican House colleagues, to completely eliminate Title X, the program that provides family-planning services, including affordable contraception, to low-income women.

Ryan not only speaks the language of the Religious Right, he is one of them. Ryan is a confirmed speaker at the upcoming Values Voter Summit, a yearly confab hosted by the anti-gay, anti-choice Family Research Council, Liberty Counsel and American Family Association. There, he'll join right-wing luminaries including anti-Muslim activist and conspiracy theorist Jerry Boykin, anti-Planned Parenthood prankster Lila Rose, and Kamal Saleem, who bills himself as a reformed ex-terrorist... and who is widely considered to be a fraud. The event is a must-attend for candidates who want to appeal to the farthest extremes of the Religious Right, which clearly Romney and Ryan are more than happy to do.

Paul Ryan is the whole package: massive tax cuts for billionaires on the backs of the middle class, plus the Religious Right's wish list of regressive social policies. In his choice of Paul Ryan, Massachusetts Mitt has sent a rare unambiguous signal about where he wants to take this country. And it's nowhere we should want to go.

Wow...we agree. I like the gift of Paul Ryan too!

I can't believe you actually found an article against Ryan (full of false information) by the president of the People for the American Way....an bomb throwing activist leftist group!! You'd think they would love a logical guy like Ryan!!

One problem with the Ryan pick? Mitt can't run as an outsider any more.

No one expects that they are going to get anything other than extremely biased opinions and leftist talking points when they visit Huff-n-Puff. Might as well go straight to the DNC site for your "news".

Then I guess Fox News is out for the other side then...

Nah - Fox makes at least a marginal attempt to represent both sides of an issue. A better comparison would be between say TownHall and Huff-n-Puff. You might get me to buy into a comparison between Fox and CNN, but not one between Fox and Huff-n-Puff.

You have got to be kidding....you really think FOX makes an attempt to present both sides of an issue? Their blatant partisanship makes Huffington look fair and balanced.
