EXCERPTS: NORFOLK, Va. (AP) -- Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has picked Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan to be his running mate, according to a Republican with knowledge of the development. They will appear together Saturday in Norfolk, Va., at the start of a four-state bus tour to introduce the newly minted GOP ticket to the nation.
The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because this person was not authorized to disclose the decision.
Not familiar with Ryan?
Paul Ryan: Hiding Spending Doesn't Reduce Spending
I did already see where someone mentioned that he wanted to get rid of Medicare and that the seniors will have to be buying health insurance and they won't have the money...... That really irked me.
Regarding Medicare, I get Part A (hospitalization) at no charge. (HA HA you better believe we ARE paying for it somewhere else). That's all I get from Medicare! Everything else I have to BUY already!!! Where does this come from that we are getting FREE MEDICAL CARE?? We are NOT! And the hospitalization we get has a co-pay!!
Please seniors (no, not high school) let it be known that your Medicare is NOT free!!
they also actually understand what the Constitution is and what if is for.
What is the most important issue in America (and the world) right now? Ans. The economy.
Who in congress understands the economy best? Ans. Ryan.
Do you remember when BHO was accusing McCain of not understanding the economy?
Let the little Keynesian accuse ether if these guys of not understanding the economy; it won’t work.
But, what an argument for the Dems, one guy is too nice and the other one is too smart – weird.
Analyst, Ph.D.
our prestige around the world, they will embrace Paul Ryan. He is a budge genius,
which the Republicans realized when they advanced him to the budget committee
chairmanship over all those old fogies in the congress, like McConnell, Lugar and
Boehner in the House. But beyond that he is well spoken and has some courage
I don't see in the others. BTW, I think Boehner is a dud, and wouldn't mind seeing
him go. I tip my hat to Romney who has chosen a strong personality to be his
running mate..... Romney is a nice man with good family values and an ability
to make decisions that would help our economy improve, but he needed a little
fire in the belly kind of guy to take on the lies of 0bama/et al.
I like Allen West, who seems more of a favorite with Republicans
here on SH, but I wondered about his outspoken and honest ways, esp. with those
Blacks who are entrenched in the entitlement system. It would have deflated the
racist balloon the Democrats float all the time, and that would have been fun to
see, but there is still hope that he would be in the administration as an advisor
on military/foreign affairs.
I believe he will help us get back to economic stability so our businesses can grow again. We NEED jobs! (5 Million or so)
It gave me a chuckle because ole AC Hastings, these six months after the fact, quickly
ran to Huffington Post and gave them the story and added, "we were all offended"....
Why would he do that? I thought they were afraid Allen West, in an interview, would
tell how he took Chick-Fil-A to a CBC meeting and all his Black peers loved it.......
Wouldn't that demonstrate what hypocrites the members of the CBC are.... out there
now saying the didn't like the chicken from Chick-Fil-A.......... Oh, the 0-botic Progressives hate Allen because he has their number and isn't afraid to speak.
structure. He is very bright, and he don't take no sh*t! How did Allen know
six months ago that Chicken-Fil-A would become an issue? I don't
know, but I think he did. Of course, it might be a racist stereotype to think
Blacks love their "fried chicken" but when it is within the family,
who can accuse Allen of that?
on foreign policy, esp. the Middle East.......he know the dangers
of PC in our policy toward Islam................And Islam, I think is the
greatest danger to the Western world. It's for d*mn sure this
POTUS wouldn't be celebrating Ramadan every year and hanging
this ornament with Mao on it on the w/h Christmas tree.....
That is really spit in your face and on your faith chutzpa.
According to their logic, my love of fried chicken must come from my black ancestors. Who Da thunk it?
to honor his parents. He sure is a thorn in their side, but he fits
the criteria for membership...he is a Black congressman........LOL
The politics of deception and division have made many Americans sick of this election and these negative attacks will continue to cause increased voter apathy.
We desperatly deserve after these four disaterous years
