What is there not to like about Ryan?
The perfect GOP candidate, full of hubris, arrogance, hypocricy and bullshit.
This weekend the Richmonder reported on how Ryan managed to use inside information to avoid the consequences of the 2008 financial crash his policies caused.
I guess that's only illegal if one is not a Congressman:
It should probably come as no surprise to anyone that someone like Paul Ryan would trade on inside information gained through his position as a congressman to line his pockets, but this particular instance is especially egregious. Ryan attended a closed meeting with congressional leaders, Bush's Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on September 18, 2008. The purpose of the meeting was to disclose the coming economic meltdown and beg Congress to pass legislation to help collapsing banks.
Instead of doing anything to help Americans, Ryan left the meeting and that very same day Paul Ryan sold shares of stock he owned in several troubled banks and reinvested the proceeds in Goldman Sachs, a bank that the meeting had disclosed was not in trouble.
This is the guy Republicans want one heartbeat away from the presidency?
Gordon Gecko/John Galt 2012!!!
