Jaded from years on the political front lines, TGATP has in recent years been mostly publicly apolitical. However, I was, like most, curious about this Ryan fellow that Mitt Romney announced as “the next President of the United States.” So before the spin begins, here is an overview of Ryan’s ACTUAL views and votes on some issues of importance.
