If it is Ryan (which makes no sense) it is game over and the President can set it on cruise to assured victory. Smarter selection needs to be a Foreign Policy expert or an actual person that has served in the military. Draft dodger Mitt the Twit can not be allowed close to other countries as his overseas unveiling proved.
There is no way the Obama gang can avoid talking the issues now! What a very good pick for a Veep!
As Chairman of the House Budget Committee there is no one that understands the Federal Budget (or lack of under the Obama Administration and Democratic controlled Senate under Pinky Reid) and how the budget process works.
No more glib personal attacks....without the Democrats looking totally stupid and callow.
Ryan will very much energize the debate on issues, is young, smart as a whip, and a very good choice by Romney.
The Progressive Democrats will be on the attack before I finish my breakfast....but already some moderate Democrats are already coming out in support of Ryan which spells serious trouble for Obama/Biden. Ryan is respected within the House for being able to disagree but do so nicely and compromise when necessary to accomplish the business of the country.
Great choice....good news for the Nation....terrible news for the Democrats.
Bomblast and bullshit will not cut it in debate with Ryan....he knows his numbers and how to explain things in a manner anyone can understand. His Budget got a hell of a lot more votes than did Obama's....of course there was no way to get fewer votes as neither of Obama's budget offerings every got a single vote from either Republicans OR Democrats.
The Senate under Pinky Reid has not put forth a Budget since Obama has been in Office....a violation of their Constitutional duties.
Drag up your comfy chair...get out the Popcorn...this election campaign is going to catch fire now!
Sultan.....what an incredibly stupid thing to say....neither Obama or Biden served in the Military thus I guess you think neither of them are qualified for office. God...but you talk stupid!

20 years ago a draft-dodging, foreign policy ignoramus devoid of any foreign policy experience outside of snorting imported coke was elected President vs a sitting President with experience in both helping to fight one and lead nother, and credited by everyone with putting together a very difficult-to-create coalition comprised of many countries.
In 1992, draft-dodging status didn't matter. Foreign policy expertise didn't matter. "It's the economy, stupid" was the talking-point refrain the lapdog media blugeoned everyone over the head with.
How many more Haitians died when the media's favorite hillbilly candidate, against the advice of anyone who knew something of the subject, made the "compassionate" campaign promise to change the standing policy of intercepting and returning those found at sea. Hundreds drowning turned into thousands drowning. Has any President had more blood on his hands before even being sworn in?
In 1992, foreign policy gaffes that were predicted to, and did, cause un-needed death didn't matter.
In 2012, the Mayor of London playing the tried-and-true, anti-American card at the Olympics because a candidate spoke the already-reported truth and it hurt is feelings is supposedly a major alliance-shaker, and we should be afraid.
In 1992 the used car salesman Governor conceded Bush Srs' foreign policy expertise but stated it was time to look to the economic crisis at home and fix THAT "worst economy since the Great Depression". And oh, how the media and people applauded and were convinced too much looking outside our borders created the problems within. Of course, leading up to the 1992 election the media hadn't spent years focusing on fringe Occupier patsys who's job it is to deflect blame away from a sitting President and onto Wall St and "capitalism". The economy of Arkansas was held up as a shining example of what America could become.
In 1992 a bad economy was the fault of the President and if a small business laid off 3 workers in Peoria it led the news on every network.
In 2012 a bad economy is the fault of everyone except the President, and we still get stories about what Sarah Palin is doing.
You saw how much veteran status mattered in the 2008 election. That was the election where the Empty Suit Organizer ran against the aforementioned Sarah if what was covered by the media is any indicator. I wonder why they focused so much attention on her and not her gaffe-machine counterpart Biden, or Obama's actual opponent for the office?
Romney's overseas "unveiling" as you call it, was a non-event, purposely over-hyped and used as propoganda to shift focus away from Obama's record and ineptitude.
Now you're trying to sell the notion that Romney selecting as his VP running mate someone who has focused mainly on economic issues in his legislative career is a liability because he's not a veteran? That sounds like something the media will try to begin selling today.
I was right....already the Democrats are coming out raising all sorts of complaints about the Ryan pick by Romney....and from what they are saying....well actually not saying....they are in panic mode.
It is Granny over the Cliff time again.....redux!
The stuttering started when the Host reminded the Black Democrat that under Ryan's plan no one over 55 would be affected by any changes proposed for Social Security....at which time he then to say Ryan's Budget would not work because .....get this....."We cannot count on things improving...the economy growing...."!
So big mouth Democrat....which is it.....the Obama rant about we are on the right path....we are seeing an improvement...things are looking good.....OR....we cannot count on growth?
That is what I meant about Ryan will destroy them....as they just cannot argue their position and win. They cannot talk about Obama's record and win. They can only attack, defame, smear, and distract attention from reality. Ryan is going to keep dragging them back to the spotlight by sheer competence and knowledge.
Who are the Democrats going to put up against him in debating the issues.....Joe the Gaff Meister?
The Democrats had their talking points ready to go for all the VP picks. As of 5am the Ryan file was emailed to AP, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, NYTimes, and, apparently, to Sultan's personal email account.
Speaking of Joe Biden, how much military service does he have? Didn't think so.
What a joy it will be, to see Paul Ryan up against stumblin' mumblin' Joe.
If it is Ryan (which makes no sense) it is game over and the President can set it on cruise to assured victory. Smarter selection needs to be a Foreign Policy expert or an actual person that has served in the military. Draft dodger Mitt the Twit can not be allowed close to other countries as his overseas unveiling proved.
Hahaha. You funny man, should be on TV.
Meanwhile, let's see what Obama's record on "foot in mouth disease" is like. Oh, not good, here are some examples.
"The Middle East is obviously an issue that has plagued the region for centuries." --Tampa, Fla., Jan. 28, 2010
"No, no. I have been practicing...I bowled a 129. It's like -- it was like Special Olympics, or something." --making an off-hand joke during an appearance on "The Tonight Show", March 19, 2009 (Jesus, insulting the DISABLED!!!)
"I'm here with the Girardo family here in St. Louis." --speaking via satellite to the Democratic National Convention, while in Kansas City, Missouri, Aug. 25, 2008
"Let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel's. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under a McCain...administration. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under an Obama administration. So that policy is not going to change." --Amman, Jordan, July 22, 2008
"On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes -- and I see many of them in the audience here today -- our sense of patriotism is particularly strong."
"I've now been in 57 states -- I think one left to go." --at a campaign event in Beaverton, Oregon
"We're the country that built the Intercontinental Railroad." —Cincinnati, OH, Sept. 22, 2011
"When I meet with world leaders, what's striking -- whether it's in Europe or here in Asia..." -mistakenly referring to Hawaii as Asia while holding a press conference outside Honolulu, Nov. 16, 2011
Yup, Sultan, Obampot is a paragon of intelligence and there is nobody smarter than him. Even Biden, who told the world he wasn't actually suitable for the job of VP.
So the GOP has admitted Romney can't win without a solid right winger to be in charge while he takes the flak. It's a smart move and Romney didn't stand a chance without it, but why not put somebody who could win the votes up for the candidacy in the first place? Probably just a case of waiting to see how much the GOP felt they owed the Tea Party come November I guess.
Good choice: one of the few Congress people with scruples and the intelligence to express them. Yet to be determined if the coming media and Hollywood onslaught will put Obama back in. But the VP selection should at the very least raise Ryan's status for the next time around.
Obviously The Sultan believes in the power of the 50% plus that receive net benefits can continue to milk those that actually pay taxes to vote the Chicago team back in. Either he is one of them or enjoys subsidizing sloth.
Ryan is the only Congressman with the wit to understand where the US is financially and how close the abyss is. He has put forth a cogent, comprehensive plan to restore some measure of financial sanity. Something BHO has not done, has not endorsed his own deficit commission and has no intention of doing. Reid has not attempted to pass a budget in nearly four years, a key duty of Congress.
Well there is one thing that I will predict, in fact I'll bet it is already happening.
Paul Ryan's trash/rubbish men can relax, as their work load has gotten lighter by one customer, Ryan. Because the media and the Democratic Party worker drones will be talking all of Ryan's trash/rubbish that he puts out for pick up, looking for dirt on Ryan.
First official dig at Ryan by the Obama bunch...."Too inexperienced to be President!"
Yeah right and Obozo who never held a Committe Chair, tenure at a University, never ran a company of any kind, never made a payroll, and who claimed "living overseas" gave him foreign policy experience....was qualified? Oh this is going to be good!
Every time the Obama folks open their gate mouths....they set Obama up on the skyline like a Duck in a carnival shooting gallery!
Why won't they mention anything about Biden though?
Let's see.
"You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.... I'm not joking." --Joe Biden, in a private remark to an Indian-American man caught on C-SPAN, June, 2006 (You racist barsteward)
"Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me." --Joe Biden, speaking at a town hall meeting in Nashua, New Hampshire, Sept. 10, 2008 (WTF? ADMITTING he's no good for the job?)
"Stand up, Chuck, let 'em see ya." –-Joe Biden, to Missouri state Sen. Chuck Graham, who is in a wheelchair, Columbia, Missouri, Sept. 12, 2008 (D'Oh)
"When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened." –Joe Biden, apparently unaware that FDR wasn't president when the stock market crashed in 1929 and that only experimental TV sets were in use at that time, interview with Katie Couric, Sept. 22, 2008
"Look, John's last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the number-one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S, jobs." --Joe Biden, Athens, Ohio, Oct. 15, 2008 (can he count to 21 without dropping his shorts?)
"My mother believed and my father believed that if I wanted to be president of the United States, I could be, I could be Vice President!" --Joe Biden, campaigning in Youngstown, Ohio, May 16, 2012
Looks like there's support for the pick of Paul Ryan as VP.
Quote:
It has not even been 4 hours, and already the Romney campaign claims it has raised $1.2 million since announcing Paul Ryan as VP. From Press secretary Andrea Saul:
The trash comment got me thinking. Doesn't Paul Ryan receive Secret Service Protection as the "declared" V.P. Nominee now?
Unless things have changed, yes he and his family will now be under the protection of the Secret Service*, that is not so secret.
* To be honest, I'm a bit surprised that the powers to be in Washington has not changed the name of the Secret Service. As Secret Service's two main jobs is protecting the Executive Branch and counterfeit money enforcment.
