Paul Ryan It Is
I know that I am among the minority, but I think it is a bad choice. Yes, he excites many in the base and possibly puts Wisconsin in play for the GOP, but the problem as I see it, is that it does nothing to balance the ticket. Romney has executive experience. Even President Clinton says that. Romney is finance guy. But so is Paul Ryan. Romney has no foreign policy nor military experience. Neither does Ryan. Ryan has zero private sector or executive experience and will be a heartbeat from the presidency. One of the main reasons that Obama took Biden was because Biden did have foreign policy experience. Well, they could say he did because of his time on the various committees in the senate. Granted that was an illusion, but an illusion the public was willing to buy.
Paul Ryan isn’t exactly the attack dog type, which I firmly believe is the main job of the VP candidate. It allows Romney to stay above the fray, yet still get those hits out there. Ryan will not be effective at that.
No matter, it is done. Paul Ryan it is.
For some strange reason I had gotten myself tickets to Romney’s rally in my neck of the woods today earlier in the week. I wasn’t sure I was going to go, but now I will. So I am off to see Paul Ryan. Oh yeah, some guy named Romney will be there too.
And for what this is worth, I don’t think there was ever a time that we had a ticket with such nice hair.

I am sure everyone had hopes Romney would have picked their personal or logical favorites.
McCain, was definitely NOT my choice in 2008,
Yet, I was there defending McCain, his policies & conservatism on all his videos whereas Obama; had “BLOCKED” all of us from commenting!
Obama showed us then… how thin-skinned he is. How inept, inexperienced … & immature.
Am told Paul Ryan is like a younger Ronald Reagan with a quick wit & great command of the language when speaking.
He will NO doubt make mincemeat of Biden & Obama.
I hope Ryan tears into Obama as Palin did before she was leashed by McCain!
Sick & tired of the mendacious ads put out by the far left, their super-pacs & Obamas administration.
MoveOn, George Soros, ACLU, CAIR, La Raza, SEIU, ACORN, Code Pink, Media Matters, Planned Parenthood & too many more soft anti-American orgs are just a few endorsing this muslim, arab marxist illegitimate Usurper-in-chief.
Interesting that Obama celebrated Ramadan … YET AGAIN!

Bush also celebrated Ramadan. Now, I went to see Ryan’s rollout today in Virginia. I liked his speech. I felt he did much better than the last three times I saw him speak where he literally almost put me to sleep. He is very good talking about the budget and Obamacare. He excels at that. It is the rest that I worry about.
We will see.

Paul Ryan not only can be the attack dog, his debating skills are very, very good. I submit these videos to you jacg:
Especially this one – http://youtu.be/F8T_m3ERkH8

Thanks Don and Fuzzi, the vids are great and the articulation, superb. It`s as though you both read my mind and found expression I had no idea was there ! ;-)

I love this choice, love Ryan. Not an attack dog? Have you seen him interact with Obama (remember the 0CareTax “meeting”? Ryan eviscerated 0 without even raising his voice . . . or sneering pettily). The only point you mention that I think relevant is the foreign policy point, but there are plenty of knowledgeable, pro-America conservatives that can be appointed to key cabinet and executive office positions. I’m not overly bothered about that aspect, personally, but can see that it may be a drawback . . . I doubt, though, that 0 will hammer it. His own foreign policy is a disaster of the first order, we are on the brink of global meltdown, war. In large part because of 0’s “leading from behind” appeasement strategies. Besides, all Romney-Ryan have to do is air and loop the “flexibility” video.

He is very good at talking numbers, the budget, and issues directly related to the budget in terms of costs. I don’t deny that. Sadly, those are not things that most generally understand. People want to know how it directly impacts them. People vote based on kitchen table issues. Many people in this country do not understand that we are on the brink. To them it is scare tactics.
I need to see what else he’s got.

Look, I am staying mad until November 5th. Nothing you can say will change that. ;}
I also think it is important that someone keeping sounding this bell. People cannot go back to sleep. If so, all the work that I have done over the past three years has been for nothing.
