Attribution, TD, attribution. As long as you don't claim Limbaugh's pearls of wisdom as your own you'll be fine.

Because we've stopped asking about Romney's taxes.

I think we have all figured out that the elitist skirts on his taxes. It is best to let it rest until October then bring it back up me thinks.

I think the Dems will try to tie in Ryan's tax plan (with its huge tax cuts for unearned income) with Romney's success in avoiding taxes on his unearned income.

Which would, of course, be preposterous!

Agreed. And it's really whipped things up. Surprise, surprise. Mittie can actually do something interesting.

No Pete. I know there is plenty of money on the left but those folks tend to also vote for people from the left. The folks they vote for talk of raising taxes on those very people but they still vote for them as they know that money will go to help those that need it.

How often have the rich right come out in force to vote for someone that is telling them they will raise their taxes?

I feel sorry for people my age (51) that are actually depending on SS and Medicare. We won't need medicare anyhow, as we will all be on Obama care by then, right? Our hospitals might even be as good as the canadian ones after a decade or so. Ryan is a realist, and wants to have a real discussion and plan to "save" Medicare. Obama is raiding it to pay for socialized medicine. People need to understand that this entitlement program is so out of hand, that it is going to be very painful to get it back in control without bankrupting this country (which is where we are heading now). Things like extending unemployment to two years so college grads can hold out for management positions isn't helping either. To put it in very simple terms, America needs to get off the couch and go to work.


And the Granny commercial ran the same day Ryan was announced.
