And so we have yet another "bold" choice for the Republican vice presidential nominee. Paul Ryan is the very author of a callous budget passed by the Republican controlled House of Representatives.
Back in April, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops condemned the Ryan budget as failing to meet basic moral criteria such as promoting the common good and protecting "the least of these."
Mitt Romney's campaign is floundering. He doesn't trust the American people to make an informed choice by disclosing his tax returns.
He can't admit that his health care law in Massachusetts is a good idea.
All he offers is more tax cuts for the wealthy.
As Mr. Romney slides in the polls, his selection of an extremist like Mr. Ryan reveals a concern that he still hasn't won over his conservative Republican base.
By the way, Mr. Ryan is a big fan of author Ayn Rand. I'm sure we'll be learning more about "the virtue of selfishness." But I doubt most sensible people will like what they see.
