We've been begging the DCCC to use some of the millions of dollars they suck up to mount an effective campaign against Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan. They refuse -- and he'shad a serious opponent despite being in a swing district that's filled with Democratic elected officials, a district in fact, that Obama won in 2008. Paulette Garin is an energetic and intelligent grassroots candidate from a proud Wisconsin union family. She doesn't know any Wall Street bankers, but even if she did, what good would it do? Wall Street has Ryan singled out-- just the way they singled out Rahm Emanuel and Harold Ford-- as easily corruptible politicians who can carry their agenda into high places.And they have big plans for Ryan-- Herb Kohl's Senate seat, the governor's mansion, a cabinet job... the presidency. The GOP paints him as a serious guy . He isn't. He's a clown and an ill-educated, ignorant boob . But when I talk with Democrats about working on unseating him now, before he can really do some damage-- like implementing the budget he's written for Republicans that would lead to abolishing the social safety net, including Social Security and Medicare-- they just shrug and say he'll be moving on eventually and they'll grab the seat when it's empty.That's why I have no sympathy for a DCCC that's about to get its lunch eaten by a mob of teabagging sociopaths and Wall Street puppets. Chris Van Hollen is going to lose the DCCC chair to someone twenty times worse than he is-- Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the female Rahm Emanuel. Please look into helping Paulette Garin take this one on herself. Watch what Rachel Maddow had to say about Ryan tonight: Stop Paul Ryan now, before it's too late, too late for you, for your children, for America. This guy is dangerous, really dangerous-- and Sarah Palin's favorite Republican for a good reason.
