Video:Olbermann, Paul Ryan flip flops, Rand Paul, Sarah Palin defends O’Donnell

Gold: Paul Ryan, R-Wis makes the list today due to his resounding flip-flops, or his wobbly platforms which are notoriously bad for the ankles. Ryan, who has
been on a fire and brimstone condemnation of Democrats with no reconciliation possible! No! Not ever, don’t even think about it – unless, of course he’s elected to…um, perform reconciliation.That was a whopper of a belly-flopping flip-flop combination!
Silver: Rand Paul R- KY and Tea Party candidate for Senate. In a long-winded address Rand Paul both revealed his Libertarian roots, and revived the anxieties of many in the Teabagger movement, because fear sells as Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh can attest. Paul took the impressionable on a meandering verbal trip back to Hitler, the vilification of a group of people, and a national debt crisis. To make them quake in their patriot booties, Paul promised chaos, which while intended to inspire fear, was undoubtedly met with great good cheer and
anticipation by others who – employing great myopic vision, feel that they are the group being vilified.
Bronze: Sarah Palin, greatly diminishes the manic scrutiny borne by President Obama in her defense of Christine O’Donnell. While we may know fudgy details about witchcraft and O’Donnell’s off-the-wall anti-choice views, she staunchly protects the details of her questionable use of campaign funds, which is everyone’s business! Nice try Mama Grizzly.

Thank you for the post Ms. ‘Cat, but I think you’ve missed the point of Congressman Ryan. T’Child let it slip in a post a few months ago, but it makes absolute sense.
Republicans don’t mean what they say. It is only a convenient and disposable tool for achieving political power. It is not about what is good for America & it certainly isn’t what the ramifications of the words bring; I mean how can you argue deficits & tax cut at the same time? Republican verbiage is useful only as a tool to achieve election. Being elected is only goal.
So Congressman Ryan can oppose the Democrats using reconciliation & favor the Republicans using it. They support a “Balanced Budget Amendment”, while a Democrat is president. They support Term Limits until they achieve a majority.
You may view it as hypocracy (as Mr. Olbermann does) but if you don’t mean anything you say are you really being hypocritical? No, the Republicans are just using any tool they can find to win election.
Make more sense now?
Sadly it does db. It’s all about getting the job and keeping it. Only the absurdly idealistic harbor the expectation that their representatives will display a modicum of honesty…much less integrity.
