Plus, the Republican primary - which is sure to be another "who can be the most cold-hearted conservative" contest - will create brand new memories. Hell, he'll probably remind us of this vote himself to firm up his cred.

Ryan, OTOH, has a better developed political career, really believes all the things beloved by the right-wing MOTU, and is able to talk about them in front of a camera without sounding like he's just done three lines of coke and four shots of tequila. In two or four years, he'll have no problem saying that he voted here for a tax cut, and sticking to that talking point.

Sure, Frothy's a corrupt douche, but that won't stop him from believing he's the Catholic Reagan, and that 2012 was his 1976. What else is he going to do, get a real job? I'd bet a dollar we'll see him and Ryan back at it in 2016.

(I know, so did a lot of other people; but I came up with that out of my own tiny brain so I'm pretending it was my idea first.)

Well, maybe he's trying to say, 'Yes, we might tax you more, but at least we won't use the money to help out New Yorkers and New Jerseyites.' That might be of some consolation.

But like those above, I am unsure why you think this kind of fact twisting and lying would be a liablity with the republican base.

It's all about spin, and there were several clues offered in the past month about this GOP strategy. Disappointing that Constant didn't pick up on it, as it was pretty hard to miss.
