Mitt Romney just picked tea party hero Paul Ryan as his running mate. And Romney may have just committed political suicide.Agreed, but not for the reason’s you think.
Sure, Paul Ryan is the author of the most extreme right-wing budget ever proposed in Congress. According to our friends on the left, he wants to dismantle Medicare, privatize Social Security, and cut taxes for millionaires while raising taxes on the middle class.
But, let’s be clear. Considering today’s political climate, Democrats would have demonized anyone Romney picked.
Romney’s problem lies with his reasons for the pick. Ryan wasn’t chosen because he’s a young, smart up and comer in the Republican Party. Ryan was chosen because he’s a favorite of the Tea Party.
