Romney's political suicide

Selecting Paul Ryan whose radical views are anathema to most Americans may mean the death knell for the republican Party. Ryan would dismantle Social Security, handing it over to the Wall Street plunderers, kill Medicare with a voucher program putting Americans at the mercy of the insurance companies, and cut taxes for the super rich while sticking it to the Middle Class. I'm sure he'll ge the vote of the one percent, but that is not all of the people or even a majority. This attempt to appease the right wing of the epublicans, who do not like Romnyy, into his fold is a short-sighted and fatal appeasement. Cold there be a worse choice? Bachmann or Rice,maybe. Wooing the lunatic fringe of the party shows lack of backbone and foresight. Romney is no leader. Shades of Thomas Dewey!
