Paul Ryan: the elephant in the room

[All Along The Watchtower]

Will the GOP base vote for a plutocrat and a Randian?

Will the GOP base vote for a plutocrat and a Randian?

Of course they will.

But I thought they were the party of moral values.

And quit trying to paint the Republican base as some kind of intolerant group of voters.

Oh they do a good enough job of that themselves. There's no need to paint!

Not so much that he's Catholic. Is that he doesn't have the southern/country/low class vibe that the GOP desperately needs. Romney already has the grown up college Republican vote. Especially in Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, and Ohio he's gonna need red meat Take Back Our (White) Country crowd. Instead, he went for the best looking Ayn Rand fan in America. I've yet to see Ryan campaign, but I don't get the impression that he can get the job done.

Either the "white working class" vote is more Democratic (or less Republican, alternatively) than the pundits give them credit for, or the Republicans take them completely for granted and really don't care about them.

Anyone whining about 'anti-rich' 'bigotry' deserves, nay needs, to have their teeth kicked in.

And why would that be may I ask?

Because the rich, by definition, enjoy enormous privileges not seen by the vast majority of people.

Though to be fair, the Democratic base does just as good a job of intolerance by spewing up anti-rich progressive economically disastrous, anti-religious tolerant offensive, anti-military peaceful appeasement views.

Not forcing your beliefs on others via the state is "anti-religious" and "offensive"?

Not necessarily, but the smug, patronising, superior way in which much of the Democratic base expresses its views on religion is very offensive, and makes me want to put a fist through the screen of what ever monitor I am looking at.

Not half as offensive as the bigoted crap much of the Republican base spews.
