Did Paul Ryan read my post yesterday? LOLZ
Yesterday I posted this thread.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x1171002

It was my fake CT on how liberals have been running the Tea Party.


I guess Paul Ryan took notice :)

“When you have a Democrat running as a Tea Party (candidate) and spends over $2 million making it a three-way race, that's going to hurt the Republican a lot,” Ryan said.

1. well, Paul Ryan's complaint is accurate.
The Tea Party candidate WAS a Democrat.

2. But it still doesn't make any sense
Because a former Democrat would be expected to siphon votes off of the Democratic side of the ballot. I guess what Ryan is saying is that Tea Baggers are too stupid to actually investigate the candidates, and merely vote for party labels.

By the way, Zell Miller is a former Democrat, as is Joe Lieberman. So Ryan's complaint - while technically accurate - doesn't mean what he seems to think it means.
