Craiglist ads ridicule Ryan, who's desperate for company in July 4 parade

Pssssst -- know anybody willing to be seen with Paul Ryan on the 4th of July in working-class Kenosha?  The Ryan campaign sounds desperate.

Talking Points Memo  reported  that the Ryan campaign is refusing to answer questions about a pathetic email from his campaign, which begged people to “show Paul and the people of Kenosha that he is supported" by walking with him in the parade.

Ryan's desperation is being mocked in Craigslist postings like this one, which Politico reported here.

Third most unpopular Republican politician in the country desperately seeks ANYONE who will stand by him in local Fourth of July Parade. Walking with Congressman Ryan does not guarantee your support of his plan to end Medicare. It is merely the start of the conversation.

Small flags will be provided! Please note that under Ryan's plan for this Sunday's Kenosha Civic Veterans Parade, the flags will not be rationed. They will be distributed through a premium support system.

Parade walkers are also encouraged to start P90X training for the route.

"No matter how much Paul Ryan brags about his own "courage" and "boldness," the fact is he is fundamentally weak and that is because he wrote a budget with Washington lobbyists that ends the guarantee of health care for seniors at the same time he hands over the economy to Wall Street," Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Mike Tate said Friday. "If I was Paul Ryan, I'd be afraid to show my face in Wisconsin, too."
