While some in the media hail Paul Ryan as a profile in courage, he is in fact a hard-right ideologue whose views and policies don't represent his constituents. How do we know this? Because he has to misrepresent them!
Take for instance, his positions on the economy. Ryan's district has been absolutely hammered by factory shutdowns, the pending closure of the Janesville GM plant being the most high-profile. So Ryan, sensibly, wants to strike some populist poses. So what does he do on his campaign site? Bash China!
I will also continue to fight to ensure China is playing by the rules and not stealing American jobs.
Which is why he voted against Permanent Normal Trade Relations with China! Er, never mind.
