Paul Ryan recently provided an irresistible example. This comes from the Washington Post 's Dana Milbank, reporting on the public rollout of the latest Ryan Budget:
CNN’s Dana Bash asked whether Ryan was being “disingenuous” by including new taxes that he opposed.Well, he got that right. Here it is on video:
“We’re not going to refight the past,” he explained.
If Ryan is “not going to fight the past,” Fox News’s Chad Pergram asked, why is he still trying to repeal Obamacare?
“This to us is something that we’re not going to give up on,” Ryan answered, “because we’re not going to give up on destroying the health-care system for the American people.”
