The delusional and dangerous Paul Ryan First he was the linchpin of a GOP deal with Obama, now he wants the birth control coverage mandate out of the ACA

Article PhotoIt’s a measure of how gullible the Beltway media are that when Rep. Paul Ryan held himself up as the guy to broker a GOP deal on the debt ceiling and government shutdown with President Obama last week, he was greeted as a potential savior. Nobody seemed to notice that he was trying to push much of his discredited Ryan budget on Democrats in exchange for Republicans simply doing their job: opening up government and avoiding a debt default.
As Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has belatedly begun reminding people, those are not concessions. Republicans say they want both things, and they should: their poll numbers are in the toilet and constituents are furious because of the government shutdown, and a debt ceiling would crater the economy.
But Ryan pushed anyway, as though he had a chance to force his terms on Obama and recalcitrant Democrats. That’s almost as delusional as former Vice President Dick Cheney saying we would be “greeted as liberators” in Iraq. But let’s give Cheney credit for one thing: He was elected vice president, twice. Ryan failed at that task a year ago and cannot be considered a serious candidate for national office.
i guess we can expect Cruz to go away and come back with the same old dusted off American people rebuked plan that is just posturing.  oh wait theyall hate him so maybe i should have said go away and don't comeback, hit the road Ted.

this is the most dangerous laughfest yet, they are trying to blame Pres. for their dirt likw Clinton said, "takes alot of brass to accuse someone else for what you do", brass turns green like fake gold, got Tarn x?
