In short, all Democrats have to do is present the facts about Ryan’s plan to make it a severe political liability for Romney.

Wrong. They have to assume Americans will believe their lies AND that conservatives won't fight back. They will be very very wrong.

“...Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, The Satanic Bible or Mao’s Little Red Book.” Absolutely, I was just thinking of John Maynard Keynes, but you are right. Leftist do mix it up a bit.

Well, you know what the old testament punishment was for false prophets.

Another spot-on “prediction” by this clown.

Bartlett is one of those Beltway Suckerups who regularly craps all over the FairTax in order to curry favor with his masters on the Hill.

Soviet Historians could infallibly foretell the inecluctible future but could never predict the ever-changing past.

Pretty soon it will be conservatives who will be considered radical if our nation continues under the influence of the media and the department of education, etc.

Also, can we have Ryan run for president in 2016 and get rid of Romney then?

Bartlett misses that Paul Ryan has enlivened the Republican and conservative base by choosing an energetic candidate that is demonstrably an economic conservative and a family man. Any other type of candidate, like an overly vocal social conservative, would enliven the votes of Democrats. Likewise, an obvious pandering to minorities like a Mexican or Black, would likely depress votes of Republicans who would question their economic credentials or demographic intents.

The bad economy and Obama’s failures are Obama’s weak spot.

Bring your solution up against ours.

It should be like this on EVERY issue. The socialists have no answers that actually work.

There’s nothing wrong with this analysis. Who would expect Romney would go insane and pick someone based on personal chemistry instead of a strategic plot to win the election?

Most of my predictions come true, and I'm unemployed.

Oh, and I predict Mr. Bartlett still has a job tomorrow.
