Paul Ryan, a ray of GOP hope

And that's coming from a Progressive, seriously. If only the GOP would follow his lead, this country could go back to normal— differences, yes but total animosity, demonization and war, no.

Paul Ryan on Past Comments About the Poor: 'I Was Just Wrong'

Quote:

"There was a time when I would talk about a difference between 'makers' and 'takers' in our country, referring to people who accepted government benefits. But as I spent more time listening, and really learning the root causes of poverty, I realized I was wrong. 'Takers' wasn’t how to refer to a single mom stuck in a poverty trap, just trying to take care of her family. Most people don't want to be dependent. And to label a whole group of Americans that way was wrong. I shouldn’t castigate a large group of Americans to make a point. "So I stopped thinking about it that way—and talking about it that way. But I didn’t come out and say all this to be politically correct. I was just wrong."
