The Irish American Democrats (IAD) have launched a fierce attack on Republican VP candidate Paul Ryan, saying he does not represent the Irish Catholic values that he was raised with, the Irish Central website reports today (August 13, 2012).
The group -- located in Washington, D.C. -- has played a major role in Democratic Party circles in recent elections and is especially close to the Clintons.
The organization points out that that the American Catholic bishops bitterly criticized Ryan's budget plans when they were released, and stated that the budget failed to meet the moral criteria of the church.
Stella O'Leary -- IAD's chairman -- stated that, "The Irish owe their success in this country to the fairness and justice provided by the American system and the protection from religious discrimination provided by the Catholic Church, the Democratic Party, and the Labor Movement.
