blue bits. red rocks.
Monday 1 October 2012

There’s a strong desire among many of Ryan’s critics and admirers to think that he genuinely accepts at least some of Rand’s ideas. That’s strange considering that Ryan’s voting record is almost exactly the opposite of what a true-believing Rand fan would have done in Congress. Then again, it’s doubtful that a true-believing Rand fan would have run for public office in the first place, much less spent his entire adult career as a politician. The absurdity of all of this is that Ryan was most vocal in his Rand-enthusiasm when he was serving in the Republican majority and casting all of those votes for government-expanding, deficit-financed legislation in the Bush years that supposedly made him so “miserable.” If the “real” Paul Ryan was the one from 2005, he is someone who says one thing and then votes in an entirely different way.
