With Republicans doubling down on the wildly unpopular Ryan plan to destroy Medicare, give even MORE tax breaks to rich people, and lock in huge budget deficits for decades to come, it appears they are hell bent on getting their butts kicked in 2012. As someone who “bleeds Democratic blue,” I of course have no problem with this Republicans’ strategy, it’s just hard to understand why an entire political party would essentially decide to commit suicide.
