Gov. O'Malley - Ryan "the leader of the Tea Party Republican Congress"

[maddezmom]

The Maryland Democrat squared off against a familiar foil, Republican Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, as the two presented the talking points for their respective presidential candidates during a quarter-hour segment hosted by David Gregory.

O'Malley, chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, labeled Romney's choice for vice president, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, as "the leader of the Tea Party Republican Congress" and said the party tickets present a clear choice for the American people.

But OMalley wouldn't let up, saying voters know Romney has engaged in various "tax avoidance schemes" and has been putting his money in offshore accounts and 'betting against the future of the United States."

On Medicare, O'Malley said, "the differences really go to the heart of the country we want to become." He charged that the Medicare changes called for in Ryan's proposed budget would force seniors to pay more for coverage under a voucher-based system.

1. Rmoney's rule would be just another figurehead Presidency.

With Ryan issuing teahadist orders from an 'undisclosed location' ...Koch Brothers HQ.

God help us if they actually pull off another SCOTUS selected President.

2. Marty mopped the floor with Ultrasound Bob.

As usual, O'Malley calmly and precisely laid down the facts. By the end, poor Bob was left speechless a few times, displaying the ol' deer in the headlights look.

"Meet the Press" will re-air at 2 p.m. Eastern Time, for anyone who would like to see it.

3. I thought that he did a good job.

I just wish that the Democrats would take a stronger stance defending Biden's "chains" remark. MSM and the Republicans keep trying to make it a racist remark and it wasn't. I viewed the remark as telling Americans that the Republicans will turn this country into one comparable to prerevolution Russia where the bulk of Russians were serfs. The 1% would be same as the ruling elite of Russia and the 99% the serfs.

5. It's to our benefit to keep expectations low going into the VP debates.

Yes, it annoys me, too, that the media and the GOPers look for gaffes in Joe's utterances and will invent ones where none exists. But that said, it's always good to have the whole world expecting our guy to fall on his face in the debate. Then when he does his usual great job, he will have beat all expectations.
