moot. national review's nut attack makes nut an outsider. it's closer to what he wants to do with medicare. it makes it more inconvenient for obama campaign who want to run on this idea that republicans and wall ryan wants to end medicare and voucherize it. makes it more difficult with that talking point this morning because ron wyden is there saying he wouldn't join up with paul ryan if he wasn't sure he was protecting medicare in the current frame work of medicare. interesting to see how this evolves. newt gingrich can say see, paul ryan is changing the way and moving closer to me. like i said, a wedge issue that confuses all sides in the political world. just a few hours ago, the nearly nine-year 800 billion dollar year in iraq came to an end in iraq with casing of the colors. tribute paid to americans that sacrificed the most.
