I've followed this entire thread, but wanted to comment on this and other insightful posts you've made in this sub-section. This is the kind of humble and progressive thinking that can actually start to change things within the voter populous. Pointing out what both sides are doing wrong. Talking about specific issues. I greatly applaud that. Even just within a community like this, it can really make a difference.
I wish that Ryan would have brought some of his more libertarian views to the table with this vice presidency bid. He hasn't - he's sold himself out, and although I know this comment is harsh, only the stupidest of registered voters would applaud the guy for anything that he's brought to the table. I mean, he's well polished...almost to a robotic degree. But he's making himself out to be a "Mini-Mitt" in his contradictions even in the short amount of time he's had the spotlight so far.
I am disappoint.
