Paul Ryan to Tea Party: You are the problem
Today,
Paul Ryan gave a fascinating speech at Heritage Action, a tea
party-allied organization that has fashioned itself as the guardian of
conservative purity. The speech called for unity. “To quote William
Wallace in Braveheart,” he said, “we have to unite the clans.” But his
speech was actually a repudiation of everything the tea party has done.
Not only that, Ryan also took shots at the congressional Republican
leadership, and even the current GOP presidential candidates. He didn’t
call anyone out by name, but if you understand what’s happening now and
the conflict that has roiled the Republican Party for the last seven
years, the critique was hard to miss. Not surprisingly, for much of the
Washington Post
