Religion? Romney Worships 2011’s False Idol: Paul Ryan | NationofChange

Paul Ryan’s ideas reached their sell-by date in 2011, as tens of mil­lions of Amer­i­cans rec­og­nized that his pro­pos­als would per­ma­nently dam­age and ul­ti­mate de­stroy So­cial Se­cu­rity, Medicare and Med­ic­aid.

But as the year came to a close and his ran­cid schemes were start­ing to pu­trefy, Ryan sud­denly found a new buyer: Mitt Rom­ney.

The Re­pub­li­can pres­i­den­tial con­tender is so des­per­ate to sell him­self as the “con­ser­v­a­tive leader” he never was that Rom­ney’s “clos­ing ar­gu­ment” ap­peal to Iowa cau­cus goers fea­tures quotes from colum­nist Ann Coul­ter.

Those Rom­ney radio ads, which are more ubiq­ui­tous in Iowa than Geico gecko in­sur­ance com­mer­cials, tout the for­mer gov­er­nor of Mass­a­chu­setts as a “con­ser­v­a­tive busi­ness­man” with a “con­ser­v­a­tive plan.” They com­pare him with Ronald Rea­gan. They fea­ture Coul­ter quotes.

But the cen­ter­piece of Rom­ney’s ad­ver­tis­ing in Iowa (and New Hamp­shire) is an at­tempt to as­so­ci­ate the can­di­date’s eco­nomic agenda with House Bud­get Com­mit­tee chair­man Ryan’s “Roadmap for Amer­ica’s Fu­ture.”
