And so they choose to obfuscate, prevaricate, and stonewall and hope that people won't notice. A lot of people probably won't.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-13882308460520721272012-08-18T07:52:11.877-05:002012-08-18T07:52:11.877-05:00Choosing Ryan was a shrewd move.

In my limited circle of aquanitenance, people are very motivated by the exterior (the supposed "good looks" and youth of Ryan,) but I hold out hope that the American people on whole will not be fooled by this fool! <br /><br />As the main dudes of the Republican party, Romney and Ryan are very good at playing the game. As you say, the oppose big government but have benefitted from it for many years. And they are so sneaky! The cardinal rule of being a public political figure is that nothing you are doing or have done in the past is safe from public scrutiny. I would feel better about them if they went into full disclosure mode, though it still wouldn't entice me to vote for them! I certainly don't want a tea partier in the white house!Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/15061596156521953005noreply@blogger.com
