Pick Ryan and blame the loss on Conservative GOPs

[Cutlass]

That's a trick question, Cutlass, because you know if Jesus is chosen, y'all are gonna fall like a big doom hammer on them for letting religion choose their politics.

I'm really not concerned with the possibility of Republicans choosing Christianity at this late date...

It's not a trick question at all - in fact, it illuminates the essential cognitive dissonance to the currents tearing through the Republican Party. You can have *either* compassionate conservatism (which will likely sway poor people to your side against their interests at the expense of business), or freemarketeerism (which will likely sway a couple business interests to your side at the expense of honest believers).

If you want both, you're destined to wind up with people and businesses who are not at all intellectually honest. They will turn on you as soon as they think you're wandering an inch from the line they expect you to walk: you are a charlatan, preaching to clowns.

But that's exactly how Rolls & Royce Romney & Ryan seem to be dancing right now: Not specifically walking away from the humanly abhorrent parts of the Ryan budget, nor denying the inevitable tax freedoms they'd grant to multinational corporations.

I freely admit that I'm opposed to both Christianism( a term a conservative Christian friend of mine uses to describe obnoxiously politicized Christianity ) and Objectivism. It's just amusing to watch the Republicans serve two masters so transparently.

At least you can theoretically distill a positive political ideology out of Christianity (Republicans just don't do that). Objectivism? Not so much.

Going to splash it all over FaceBook... but will I lose credibility if I give attribution as 'some guy on a computer game forum'?
