fun fact: in the time since I posted this thread some of the more active righties have had much to say in other threads but none have commented here.

lesson learned: hit them with hard, truthful facts, as told by "one of their own" to squelch the vitriol

It gets better. I looked up David Stockman on Politifact to see if they could dissect his statement. Pretty much any broad, sweeping condemnation of a plan in politics comes off as half-true at best, so I decided to check out what Politifact had to say about his analysis.

PolitiFact | A service of the Tampa Bay Times

So David Stockman was rated as 100% true in his assessment, which is a pretty strong statement, considering he called the Romney-Ryan plan "a fairy tale". In the same search, a statement from 2010 addresses the concept of supply-side economics, which has been the Republican economic mantra ever since the Reagan administration. The rating there? 100% False.

I think that about sums it up there. Have the Obama administration call your plan a burden on the poor? That's just politics at work. Have the Congressional Budget Office call your plan "mathematically impossible"? You might argue they're leaning to the left. When your fellow Republicans in the know call your plan a fairy tale and say you'll destroy the economy... Might be time for a new plan, Mitt.
