You may think that this accusation is a bit extreme, but lets examine the evidence.  I see no horns, cloven hoofs or pitchfork, when I look at Ryan, but those accoutrements are so 16th century!  We have to assume that old split-foot has modified his appearance to fit into modern times, but he may be a little behind.  A 1950s look would fit him, and that’s what Ryan has.  But so do lots of people.  The true acid test is this.  To be considered the devil, one must be worshiped by a devil worshiper.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"27paul-ryan-devil\"Running for president would "ruin" Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), former Vice President Dick Cheney said Wednesday. <\/p>\n

Cheney offered high praise for the House Budget Committee chairman, saying: \u201cI worship the ground that Paul Ryan walks on.\u201d<\/strong><\/font> <\/p>\n

But the vice president said<\/a> at a KPMG Global Energy Institute event in Houston that he hoped Ryan would resist a run for the White House. <\/p>\n

\u201cI hope he doesn\u2019t run for president, because that would ruin a good man who has a lot of work to do,\u201d Cheney said, according to The Houston Chronicle. <\/p>\n

Ryan’s name has repeatedly come up for a number of higher offices. When Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis.) announced his decision not to seek another term, Ryan was touted as a strong Republican candidate to win the seat. In the end Ryan decided against the race\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>] <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That ties it!  Since nobody is more diabolical that ChickenHawk Cheney, he is in a position to know!<\/font><\/p>\n

Thomas Robert covers this, and with E.J. Dionne, goes on to discuss Republicans’ obsessive allegiance to the Ryan albatross, and expose the hypocrisy of Republican legislators.<\/font><\/p>\n

All kidding aside, when Ryan claims that his plan is unpopular because Americans do not understand it, he is lying.  Ryan\u2019s plan is unpopular, because Americans DO understand it.  For the first time in recent memory Republican attempts to pull the wool over voters\u2019 eyes have failed.  Voters can see what Republicans represent here: huge tax cuts for millionaires, billionaires and criminal corporations, but the RepubliCare death benefit for the poor and middle classes.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
