Paul Ryan, the one man who has actually written a budget for the country since Barack Obama took office, will run for Vice-President on Mitt Romney's ticket.

This changes the game. Mitt Romney, by picking Ryan, has thrown every canard against him and against capitalism itself, straight into the faces of Barack Obama, the Democrats, and their whole undisciplined machine.

Ryan has two other advantages over many of the other candidates:

He is a Congressman, not a Senator. The Republicans cannot spare any of their Senators just now, especially the true conservatives among them.

He is a natural born citizen. Marco Rubio, sadly, is not. His parents didn't get naturalized until he was five years old. (But any of Senator Rubio's children should be eligible.)

But his biggest advantage is: He doesn't care what others think, so long as they do think. Which most of his detractors clearly do not.

Good choice.

+14
That budget that he actually got the House to pass earlier this year is the first attempt in a long time to get control of our out-of-control spending. By choosing him, Mitt Romney gives us a choice, and a stark one: Responsibility or irresponsibility. Freedom or slavery. Solvency or insolvency. Wealth or debt.

not true - most of us down here have a favorable opinion of him . And even the so called "Hispanic vote" is divided in Florida with only half being DIE- hard liberals and even then less than half of that population can vote legally LOL

why ? Obama is the one who cut medicare (700 billion and growing) are we expecting all seniors to be ignorant of the facts and fall for Obama's lies ? he has no plan to save SSI or Medicare so why would older people who have a brain fall for his BS ?

Finally.... we will have a serious discussion about our problems facing America...
O's record....sorry.... one and done... truth is Americans must support a new direction or the point of no return will be soon.... feds and congress has been out of control for years.... many voters thought O was the answer...only to find he has become big part of the problem... dirty politics will not win this year.... Show me the beef.... bark

That is the point that we have reached. Obama has not done it for us. We need someone that understands business, and what causes them to fail. Someone that can turn this failing Country back around, and bring it back to the success that it once was!!!

And then think Americans won't see how this tactic is now going to back fire on conservatives

It's ashamed that so many are fooled into this...

You go right ahead...

But I wonder.... if you ever held yourself ACCOUNTABLE for what you PUT in power? I bet not... And that is what wrong with our system...

Too many mindless dolts walking around like zombies, voting over ideological and sometimes made up "talking points". Yet when the dolt they put in power screws up this nation, as in the case for GWB, where's the ACCOUNTABILITY?

RUFF... RUFF... and CHECK!

Hello.... elections is about the best choice.... it is not about
having a candiate that totally agrees with me...or other voters...

This is our system....like it or not... voters should be informed on the issues...vote for candidate.... on his positions...

It has always been that way....no election is perfect...

One can't be naive about any candidate...that is political reality...

but i think you know it... voters... will vote...that is our way..bark

reply
Contard... to mrdog 2012/08/14 09:31:11

I don't disagree...

All I'm saying is to also hold yourself accountable for they choice you made 4 year prior....

Why continue the pattern of bad choices... Shouldn't you be responsible for putting yourself above? The choice you make can put the lives of many in peril.

Think beyond ideology... you never know who your vote kills.

Meaning you do absolutely NOTHING with your vote. A protest with teeth is a vote to help get Obama OUT. I would vote for ALMOST any other candidate.... well, maybe not Newt... to remove the big Zero from the Oval Office.
