The Duplicitous Demanding Consistancy

An interesting approach to the VP nominee Paul Ryan has emerged for Obama supporters. 

Liberal critics gleefully report Ryan supported President George W. Bush’s Medicare prescription drug program, the TARP bailout of Wall Street, and the auto bailout.

He also guided stimulus funds to a Wisconsin conservation group.And Ryan pursued earmarks-- appropriations by Congress members for specific favored projects; $5.4 million in earmarks in fiscal 2008, according to a self appointed "watchdog" group, Taxpayers for Common Sense. The requests included $3.28 million for bus service in Wisconsin, $1.38 million for the Ice Age National Scenic Trail, and $735,000 for the Janesville transit system. He also voted in favor of the Alaskan Bridge to Nowhere.

So the Democrats, the party of big government, public sector growth and public sector unions think he is a bad candidate because he takes advantage of their system and votes for their projects? Or are these consummate politicians offended by inconsistency?
