The DNC began their smear campaign against Ryan long before now. The infamous granny-over-a-cliff ad created by The Agenda Project (a group of despicable cretins who seem to know nothing about finance and the government but an awful lot about schoolyard bullying) shows what the Democrats are willing to do to people interested in addressing the horrifying shortcomings of federal boondoggles like Medicare and Medicaid.
On The Agenda Project’s YouTube page they have the following description of the video shown above:
With pretty boy Paul Ryan’s draconian and savage cuts to Medicare in his budget proposal, we have to ask ourselves: Is America still beautiful without Medicare?
Seriously? “Pretty boy” Ryan? Saldly, this level of discourse will soon be seen as high theater when compared to the attacks that will arrive in the next couple of months.
But the RNC and Romney team will help protect Ryan, right?
Wrong.
The criminal ineptitude of the Romney campaign to construct a coherent argument against the return of Obama to the presidency makes the hackjob done by the McCain/Palin team look like the work of Talleyrand or Machiavelli by comparison. Obama has tacked on a record amount of debt, ignored the nation’s infrastructure in order to give sweetheart business deals to political cronies, destroyed our reputation with our allies overseas and what is the media talking about? Romney’s tax returns. This monumental failure to make stick in the media even the most elemental problems with a Chicago Machine politician’s second term in the presidency is inexcusable, and it clearly indicates that they are entirely ill-equipped for the time when the Obama campaign really starts going after Ryan.

Teddy, Teddy, Teddy, why such a negative Nellie? You’re raining on the big “Happy Days are Here Again” Republican parade.
This momentous occasion deserves your full-throated support to buck up the troops! If nothing else, the choice of Paul Ryan as Mitt Romney’s running mate will ensure that the base will come out and vote, which was no longer such a sure thing the way things had been going lately with Romney’s solo act. That counts for something.
As a Democrat, I think the addition of Ryan to the ticket will mean that there will be more substance to debate and less of what you call, “lying, cheating and stealing” that’s got you so worked up.
I’m confident that Paul Ryan has provided more than enough substantive rope to hang himself with in a national election beyond the friendly confines of just his home district.
I fondly remember how Ryan persuaded Bush to make social security privatization the centerpiece of his disastrous second term. That went over like a lead balloon at the time. You thought you hated it then, wait till you try it now!
Then there’s the two Ryan budgets that just about every Republican is on record voting for. That’s another loser, especially with senior citizens, a formidable voting block.
So, let the battle be about the two differing visions for America: Republican and Democrat. Then it will be up to Romney/Ryan to defend Ryan’s Libertarian wet dream of drowning the government in a bathtub, offering healthcare coupons to future generations of seniors and privatizing social security. We’ll find out if America wants that. I’m betting they won’t.
