Ryan: The "Courageous" Beck Lover

April 6, 2011

Republican officials have been avoiding cuddling up to Paul Ryan's (R-WI) "Roadmap" to ruin for over 2 years.

U.S District Judge Roger Vinson. Florida federal Judge Vinson's ruling to appease Tea Partiers hopeful of dismantling federal government power…..is found here. The ruling is so radically biased that it even takes the time to please TP'ers by including a silly and inapplicable throwaway comparison to…..wait for it…..the original Boston Tea Partiers.
