Mitt's great choice

If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we've got to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that he commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition - and then admit that we just don't want to do it.

Paul Ryan is a disciple of the worst writer in the English language, Ayn Rand. She wrote 'philosophical' novels of conspiracies. Her ideas were simple: selfishness is good, those super individuals of productive greed were hampered by interventionist government and the poor. It is no surprise that Republicans, teabaggers, capitalists, and teenage jerks are smitten.

Those that whine and whinge about government have some similarity to a character in Monty Python's Life of Brian, whom admits (okay, the similarity is not there) after several exceptions are brought up, "All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?"

I have touched upon this Nimrod before. Ryan is an intellectual for the Republicans, he also attacks well. The Democrats will play up what he wishes to do with Medicare, and Medicaid. So, unless the Republicans successfully game the vote counting in several states, it will be close to a Democratic landslide. Enough elderly teabaggers will vote for the Democracy, that Florida and, perhaps, Arizona will go for Obama. The Congress may have two Democratic majorities.
