Paul Ryan Is A Threat
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) is a threat...to the Democrat Party especially, but also somewhat to the Republican Party.
Ryan is drawing fire for being knowledgeable in matters of budget and health care and Social Security. He is also knowledgeable in many other areas, but these are the current hot topics. Ryan's 'Road Map for America - 2' contains some very well-thought ideas for reforming health care, for solving the Medicare funding crisis and for generally reforming the way our government works. He is a bright, personable, good looking family man. He is a policy 'wonk' and he is not one whom another politician wishes to be forced to duel in public.
He is viewed as anathema by the Democrats because of his skill set, and he is worrisome to the Republicans because he is obviously among the brightest members of that party in Washington today.
As the attacks against Ryan ensue, as they almost certainly will, remember to look very carefully at the remarks made by the attackers. For example, his reformation approach for Social Security is being slammed now as placing old people in soup lines (my paraphrasing) and that couldn't be further from the truth.
We could use a 'Ryan-clone" so that we could have him both here in Wisconsin and in Washington at the same time.
I believe he is the "real deal". He won't challenge Feingold since both are from Janesville. Rumors have him thinking about the seat someday to be vacated by Kohl. I'd love someday to see him as our governor, and I won't be surprised to see him as a candidate for President if I am fortunate to live long enough.
