Conclusion: Mitt Romney is out of his damn mind

Report: Rep. Paul Ryan To Endorse Romney

Sources tell both Buzzfeed and The Daily Caller that Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), chairman of the House Budget Committee and a rising Republican star, will endorse former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for president. Buzzfeed reports:

The apparent cost of Ryan's endorsement was Romney's backing earlier this month for Ryan's 2013 budget plan, which would cut the top marginal tax rate while reducing spending on Medicare and Medicaid, and shifting the federal health program for the elderly to a private voucher system.

"I'm very supportive of the Ryan budget plan," Romney said. "It's a bold and exciting effort on his part and on the part of the Republicans, and it's very much consistent with what I put out earlier.

Wisconsin conservative talk radio host Charlie Sykes tweeted that Ryan will join him at 8:35 a.m. central time on Friday.

Ending Medicare is "bold and exciting"?

What an idiot!

was, nice try, now go sit down. When someone like Romney says "nice effort" it means he's not interested.
