Artist: Paul Ryan

A recent Gallup poll of registered Republicans shows that the vast majority of them (69%) have their tiny arthritis-stricken fingers crossed for P A U L R Y A N 2 0 1 6 . The poll also included the  Tea Party boytoys Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, and Chris Christie. Christie ranked pretty low among Republican voters given the fact that he sometimes maybe seems like he might be a regular normal [...]

In an interview with "CBS This Morning" on Thursday, Ann Romney, the wife of 2012 Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, shared how the relatable, all-American couple currently spend their time (traveling, horseback riding) as well as who they believe may very well be the future of the Republican Party. "Mitt and I are always very, very partial to Paul Ryan," she told Charlie Rose and company when asked who the GOP should nominate in 2016. We don’t even know if he’s going to run." Ann's picking Ryan may not exactly jive with the Chairman [...]

You know, I actually have a hard time thinking that anyone is entirely terrible. A part of me hopes that perhaps Paul Ryan is really nice to his mom or something, because I feel a little gross about how uniformly awful he is about everything. However, should he have any redeeming qualities, I have yet to find out about them. In a speech to the Susan B. Anthony List, a group that aims to butcher the crap out of history  and elect anti-choice women to political office, Paul announced that "We don't want a country [...]

ABC confronts Paul Ryan for praising sequester before using it to slam Obama ABC News host Jonathan Karl on Sunday suggested that Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) was guilty of hypocrisy because he slammed President Barack Obama for the automatic spending cuts in the so-called sequester — even though congressman had personally praised it in the past. “Don’t forget it was the president who proposed the sequester, it’s the president who designed the sequester,” Ryan told Karl, adding that he had concluded that [...]

More of the same from the Romney/Ryan ticket today.  Lot's of hot air and absolutely no substance.  Completely Wrong.....Once Again!!! Thanks to the Huffington Post for the article and the headline. Paul Ryan, the celebrated Republican idea man, delivered a speech today entitled “Restoring the Promise of Upward Mobility in America's Economy.” Upward mobility is a vital concept for Ryan. He is the author of a plan that would, as budget expert Robert Greenstein put it, “produce the largest redistribution of income from the bottom [...]

Every time I see Paul Ryan's face, I just cringe all over. It's not just because I disagree with everything he stands for in life. I mean, even if we agreed on everything ever, I would still be creeped the fuck out by that look on his face. Because I know that face. We all know that face. Paul Ryan Was Your Shitty Assistant Manager At A Mall Store Who Took His Job Way Too Seriously You were all of five minutes late from your lunch break, because you were [...]

With a high-stakes presidential election around the corner, many people have wondered what's happened to protest music in America. From Pussy Riot to Paul Ryan, taking stock might not be as simple as it was a few decades ago. Repeatedly pronounced dead by observers of a tradition once as integral to rock 'n' roll as the C chord, protest music has again risen from its supposed grave to kick dust in the faces of global fatcats. Just don't expect to hear its cries sung -- or shouted -- English. As you've likely heard by now, Russian punk collective Pussy [...]

Paul Ryan Evil Empire

Art and life co-habitate, informing, imitating, and enriching each other constantly. Each week in Better Living Through Music, RFT Music writer Ryan Wasoba explores this symbiotic relationship. W...

Tom Morello has always been a musical hero of mine. Now he has solidified my support for him as a political activist. Tom recently wrote an open letter, via Rolling Stone , to Republican VP candidate Paul Ryan . In the letter, Tom notes that Mr. Ryan recently claimed to be fan of Rage Against The Machine . as Tom points out, Mr. Ryan clearly missed the whole point of the real rage that is being expressed in opposition to the political corporate machine that feeds our flawed [...]

Remember Kid Rock? He was an answer - well, half an answer - on TV's Nick Knowles' Secret Fortune quiz last night, and to cap a magical weekend of being a cultural footnote, he's come out in support of Paul Ryan . Although, to be honest, when the pair appeared at a Michigan fundraiser, it sounded more like Ryan was endorsing Rock's run for office: “We take pride in people’s success, we don’t resent people for being successful in this country,” Ryan said, referring to Kid Rock. “Look at this creator right here – the fruit of [...]

A message from Dee Snider's Management: It was brought to the attention of the management today that Paul Ryan has been using tour client Dee Snider's composition "We're Not Gonna Take It" in his political campaign to become the Vice President of The United States of America. Dee does not support Paul Ryan. Accordingly, Dee has released this statement to Benjy Sarlin, campaign reporter for TPM in Washington, DC: "I emphatically denounce Paul Ryan's use of my song "Were Not ...

Boy oh boy. Despite what our own Dummy Nosenothing thinks, it seems like Republican Vice Presidential candidate Paul is going out of his way to catch flack from prominent members of the hard rock and heavy metal community. First he gets bitch-slapped in an op-ed by Tom Morello after claiming to be a Rage Against the [...]

Filed under: News , Politics as Usual Astrid Stawiarz, Getty Dance rocker Moby fears what the result might be this November should Americans vote for Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his Vice-President nominee Paul Ryan , concluding a lengthy post on his blog yesterday with "Democrats are far from perfect, but, as we've seen, they're a million times better than any Republican alternative." In the post entitled [...]

Just when you thought you knew where the GOP was going with this election, they throw a curveball. Not only are they going pro-rich guys, anti-Obamacare et al., the GOP [...] The post The GOP Is Really Working Hard To Win Votes From The Pro-Rape Crowd appeared first on The Smoking Section .

This past week, presumptive Republican Vice-Presidential nominee Paul Ryan revealed his favorite band is Rage Against the Machine. Over the years, Republican Governor of New Jersey Chris Cristie has made it very clear that Bruce Springsteen is his favorite musician. While Springsteen has chosen to ignore Christie, Tom Morello opted to write a piece for Rolling Stone about Ryan's love of his band. In both cases, there seems to be a gross disconnect between the fan and the message/theme/principles of the musicians involved. So the Shank asked a number of musician friends [...]
