Saw this from an online wonk while Googling up Ryan's voting record
Quote:
It shouldn’t be long before Democratic operatives put together an ad featuring something Paul Ryan said while asking his House colleagues to vote for the politically toxic TARP bill on the House floor:
“Madame Speaker, this bill offends my principles. But I’m going to vote for this bill in order to preserve my principles.”

He's got some plus marks in his column (his votes on defense & energy look pretty sound, more often than not he's been okay on social issues) but his economic votes don't seem to match his economic rhetoric. That's a pretty hefty albatross to hang around the neck of a guy who appears to have been chosen on the basic of economic policy.
