Climbing out of the woodshed for his first interview since his ticket lost the presidential election to Barack Obama last Tuesday, Paul Ryan emerged with a new epiphany – the reason the Republicans lost the elections had nothing to do with the crazy policies they were proposing. No. Their loss had everything to do with the “urban” voters who voted overwhelmingly for the President.

In an interview with WISC-TV, the Republican vice president candidate explained;

We were surprised at the outcome. We knew this was gonna be a close race. We thought we had a very good chance of winning it.

I think the surprise was some of the turnout, some of the turnout especially in urban areas, which gave President Obama the big margin to win this race,’ he said. ‘When we watched Virginia and Ohio coming in, and those ones coming in as tight as they were, and looking like we were going to lose them, that’s when it became clear we weren’t going to win.

See folks? And all along you thought the loss was a result of his party’s crazy adaptation on economic policies, like repealing ObamaCare and putting families back to at mercy of the insurance companies. Apparently, the Romney/Ryan ticket never heard of Americans going bankrupt because insurance carriers dropped policy holders at the exact time they needed those policies most. So repealing ObamaCare was their “number one priority,” according to Mitt Romney.

And you thought Republicans’ Neanderthal view on women’s issues could have been a reason women voted for Obama in almost record numbers? Well according to Paul Ryan you would be wrong. And issues didn’t cause over 70% of the Latino votes for the president either.

And apparently, seniors were tired of all the great benefits they received from Medicare, so their vote for Obama had absolutely nothing to do with Ryan’s budget proposal to turn Medicare into a voucher program.

If this is the message Ryan took from the shellacking he took in Tuesday’s election, then maybe he needs to go back to the woodshed and wait for a different message.

And what’s up with this “urban” language anyway? Ronan Farrow, Writer, human rights lawyer and diplomat, most recently Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Special Adviser for Global Youth Issues, had this to say;
