Countdown to the Election- 11 Days!

Time now for my 4th reason I will not vote for Mitt Romney!

Paul Ryan

Yes, he's got those blue eyes, and that funky thing on his head you just want to touch (or more likely poke), but he's a demon.  I'm a lot less than impressed.  He flips and flops as much, if not more than Romney.  Remember back when he was an Ayn Rand devotee?  He was really hoping you'd forget about that.  I'm all too happy to remind you.  His personal and political philosophy is firmly rooted in Rand's "I've got mine, so screw you" ideology.  He made reading Rand a requirement for all of his Congressional staffers.  Now that he's the go-to-guy on the ticket, he's run from that like a man on fire.  

He's the master and champion of the Ryan budget.  His baby.  The budget that slashes and burns everything from Grandma to Big Bird (who his partner already put a hit out on). He wants to turn Medicare into a voucher.  Sure, he can dress it up in all the fancy phrases he likes, but it's a damned voucher, and it leaves our eldsters holding the bag.  

And PBS?  Really Paulie?  It's .012% of the federal budget.  Problem solved!  Hallelujah! 

Let's not forget Lyin' Ryan's publicity disaster; when he staged a photo-op at the soup kitchen and it blew up in his face.  He got no proper permission from the President of the charity, cost the soup kitchen donations, and washed some clean dishes--after those icky homeless folks were long gone.  This is the man who wants to slash SNAP benefits so people can go hungry, while his ticket mate sits down to $50,000 fundraiser dinners.  

Then there's the issue of Ryan's co-sponsoring a person-hood bill in Congress that would give a fertilized egg the same rights as a person.  Hormone based birth control would be a thing of the past, taking family planning out of a woman's hands.  Ryan's bill would make it illegal.  It would make surgery to remove ectopic pregnancy a crime.  Ryan also refers to rape as "another method of conception." 

 I refer to Ryan as another failed candidate.  He is definitely too conservative and out of touch to be a heart beat away from leader of the free world.  His personal philosophy of selfishness is a poor fit for the real people that drive this country.  His inability to separate his religious views from his public policy make him dangerous for anyone who does not share his faith.  Paul Ryan is just another anti-labor, corporately purchased politico.  His views are for sale to the highest bidder.  Even Romney is starting to see the liabilities of his choice, keeping him far away from states of any consequence as the campaign wraps up.  He's tucked safely in red states where his damage can be minimized.  He definitely qualifies as a solid reason why I'm not voting for Mitt Romney (and neither should you)!
