Paul Ryan Ends Interview When Local Reporter Asks Him About Guns and Tax Cuts
Well, well, well. Looks like Paul Ryan doesn’t want to answer questions about how he is going to help folks who live in the inner city when he’s proposing tax cuts: Ryan spokesman Brendan Buck tells BuzzFeed: “The reporter knew he was already well over the allotted time for the interview when he decided to …

It’s not just going to kill people. It’s …
I Wish Andrew Were Correct, But…
…when he writes stuff like this: …by adding Ryan to the ticket, Romney has ensured that the far right will not be able to blame defeat on a RINO candidate. They will have to accept that a teenage Randian vision of domestic society and a revolutionary militarist foreign policy are not acceptable options in a …
