I merely got to "Ryan heaped praise on Ayn Rand". I'm not gonna like this guy much, am I..?
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Ryan seems to be a flip flopper like every other politician. I guess its in their blood.

And here is a 71 year old man being arrested for questioning Ryan's plans at a one of his "town-hall" meetings.
Quote:Ryan: “Most of our debt in the future comes from our entitlement programs.”
Senior citizen: “Hey, (Garbled; Ryan continues to speak). I paid into that for 50 years, my unemployment and my Social Security and my Medicare, and now you’re gonna…” At this point you hear the police who are dragging him out shouting, “on the ground, on the ground”.
Ryan then jokes, “I hope he’s taken his blood-pressure medication”
Yeah, that's real goddamn funny you fucking scumbag.
