When I read that left wing hack Paul Krugman dedicated a column to attacking Paul Ryan and his “Roadmap for America’s Future,” I almost squirted my Pabst Blue Ribbon out of my nose. It’s your usual New York Times editorial: “Anyone who has a different political opinion than me is an idiot, and here’s why.” [...]

Another Post on Paul Ryan vs. the GOP

It’s getting tiresome writing aboot the same thing over and over, but as long as it keeps pissing me off… It would appear that while Paul Ryan has recently scrapped with left wing ideologues like Ezra Klein and liberal hacks like the 2008 Douchebag of the Year winner Chris Matthews, his fiercest opposition to actual [...]
Paul Ryan Calls Out the GOP
Posted: July 23, 2010 by John Brodigan in Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: paul ryan
It’s not that Republicans have no ideas. The problem is the ones that do have been getting passed over in lieu on Tea Party caucuses. To an extent, I can understand. We’re this close to victory and we don’t want to make any sudden moves. That doesn’t mean I don’t think it’s horseshit. And apparently, [...]
Paul Ryan Hearts Chris Christie

“It’s astounding how much money is flying out the door in Washington. When government does all of this borrowing & spending, they are taking the money from the private sector, they are committing our kids to higher tax rates in the future, they are committing to more uncertainty in the marketplace.” – Paul Ryan
Paul Ryan’s Roadmap to Victory in 2010

Last year, I showed up at my Young Republican meeting with copies of Paul Ryan’s “Roadmap for America’s Future.” My concern with local politics is that it’s too much patronage and not enough policy, and I thought the “Roadmap” would be a good way to spark a conversation with anyone interested enough it reading it.

Ok, so not really and I don’t want to get Paul Ryan in trouble with any of the “real” conservatives, but I still thought this was kinda funny and maybe a little telling. Picture it. Aspen, Colorado. 2010. The Aspen Ideas Festival, where all the people who are smarter that you and I, are getting [...]

Reps. Paul Ryan and Jeb Hensarling: Who Wants $1.3 Trillion?

Democrats aren’t even going to propose a budget this year, the first time Congress hasn’t even proposed on since 1974. You could argue that with an election coming up that Dems don’t want to give the voters any more reason to hate their spending and taxing, but Reps. Paul Ryan and Jeb Hensarling aren’t hearing [...]
Jeb Hensarling and Paul Ryan: Why Won’t the Dems Think of the Children?

The President formed a bi-partisan “National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform” to deal with the criticism that Washington is fiscally responsible. Except for the phrase “pro-growth tax increases,” we really haven’t heard much from them; though I get the feeling they’re aboot to release a report because two GOPers on the panel – Rep. [...]

I just can’t say no to a video of Rep. Paul Ryan, our quiet weapon warning us that we’re spending our way to bankruptcy. Plus it gives me a reason to remind everyone that he endorsed economist David Malpass for New York Senate. A few weeks ago I wrote aboot how Ryan is slowly building [...]
Mitch Daniels/Paul Ryan 2012?

Around these parts, we’re all huge fans of Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels and Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan. They’re two of the smartest guys conservatives have fighting for us, and represent what I call the “Shut Up and Govern” wing of the Republican Party where they do just that…shut up and govern. They’re also two cats [...]
Can Switching to Paul Ryan Really Save You $1.3 Trillion Dollars?

Zoinks! The Republicans are actually starting to sound all Republicany. The Democrat controlled Congress currently has no plans to pass a budget for the new fiscal year, something that the last one hundred and ten sessions of Congress have managed to do regardless of how bitterly divided it was. Yet, Nancy Pelosi with her 70+ [...]
TechRepublican: Why is Paul Ryan So Awesome?
Posted: May 21, 2010 by John Brodigan in Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: paul ryan, TechRepublican.com
Over the past year, Rep. Paul Ryan has developed sort of an underground, indy rock like, popularity among conservatives. If Mitt Romney is like Metallica and Sarah Palin is Green Day, Paul Ryan is like the band 311 circa 1994 or so. It’s just that instead of giving your friends a copy of “Music,” you’re [...]

Ok, this may be turning into “Paul Ryan Appreciation Week” here at JohnBrodigan.com, but I can never turn down an article from Reason Magazine. And no, he’s not really running for President. I just couldn’t think of a title. It’s funny, because I was just having a conversation with a friend who agrees with me [...]
