Paul Ryan, GOP winning the hearts and minds of America
Posted: Wed Apr 27, 2011 7:09 amI think the post Bush GOP is the smartest, leanest, most effective political movement in the history of thecountry. No group has gained so much compared to what was expected of them.
And now, after relentless attacks by the Lewinsky press and the Democrats from the top to the bottom, the Ryan plan is bullishly building support across the nation. This IS NOT 1995. Not even close. The country of my dreams is within our grasp. One Republican Nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all.
He took the risk, he rolled the dice, and Ryan is triumphing. God Bless him, God Bless the GOP, and God bless the American people who are turning in the right direction.

A new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds that House Republicans, who took a political risk in passing a controversial budget blueprint last week, have survived so far with some key advantages intact as Congress moves toward the debate on raising the debt ceiling, passing the 2012 budget and enacting a long-term deficit plan.
“The bad news for the Democrats is that even after the Ryan budget comes out and has been attacked for a little while, the Republicans have an advantage,” says Joseph White, a political scientist at Case Western Reserve University who studies budget politics and policy.
Republicans have held their political base intact, he says, but the nation is still polarized along partisan lines, and spending cuts are easier when they’re discussed in the abstract. “Everybody can find something they don’t like,” he says, “but that doesn’t mean there’s a majority to cut anything in particular.”
When it comes to a plan to curb the deficit, Americans have qualms about both parties:
•Nearly three-fourths of those surveyed, 71%, worry that the Democrats’ plan “won’t go far enough to fix the problem”;
•Nearly two-thirds, 64%, fear the Republicans’ deficit plan will take away needed protections for the poor and the disadvantaged and will “protect the rich at the expense of everyone else.”
