The inconvenient truth about this year’s Republican ticket is that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan disagree.

Todd Akin was Paul Ryan’s co-sponsor on a sinister House bill just last year that attempted to redefine rape as “forcible rape.” Only in today’s Republican party would sponsoring such a bill make someone a more attractive VP pick.

What does Paul Ryan have in common with Ayn Rand? Not as much as he thinks.
“As Catholic sisters, we must speak out against the current House Republican budget, authored by Rep. Paul Ryan. We do so because it harms people who are already suffering.”
“”Paul Ryan points to the existence of poverty as proof that antipoverty programs aren’t working. It’s like saying clean air and clean water laws aren’t working because there’s still pollution… so we should get rid of them?”
“Paul Ryan’s 2013 budget reflects the teachings of Ayn Rand, not Jesus Christ.”
