Not to put too fine a point on it, Paul Ryan does not give a shit if he doesn’t get a single Democratic vote for this monstrosity.

…upy protests, “I think about that a lot,” said Merritt. “I think: exactly what happened? What happened? Why aren’t there 50 clergy?” That could be, of course, a product of lack of information, an aversion to the style of the Occupy protests, an absence of resources, or many other factors.

By Hollis Phelps
