Paul Ryan is Mitt's VP

[bcoop]

Really? Did you read his budget?

No. But I've looked at his voting records. Have you? Pro tarp, pro auto bailout, pro stimulus. Like I said, he talks a big game about government responsibility. But his voting record proves the opposite.

Is the fact that he his a fitness nut all you have to offer in this conversation? It's pathetic. It has no bearing on anything. Neither do his music choices or hobbies. None of that is even worth mentioning. It's disgusting that people even consider that useless information when weighing in on someone politically.

Ryan talks a good game, sure. But at the end of the day, he supports a lot of the nonsense that got America in this situation to begin with. He's more of the same in a different suit. And until all you "I'm older so I'm wiser" clowns start changing the criteria you judge your endorsements on, we will continue to go full steam ahead on the path we are on.

Ah. Yes. That's like me saying I could relate to Obama because he was a smoker. That's fucking pathetic. And no, I can't relate to Obama. You see my point though.

He's still a lying, crooked politician.

It does show he's a regular guy that some of us can relate to. Give us a fucking break. There's not too many of those up there right now.

Absolutely none of that has anything to do with helping to run a country.

Ryan's hobbies include hunting and fishing. He is a bowhunter and belongs to his hometown's archery association - the Janesville Bowmen.
* For fun, Ryan noodles catfish, catching them barehanded with a fist down their throats.
* Ryan listens to Rage Against the Machine and Led Zeppelin

Nice! lol

He also a bit of a fitness nut, and follows the P90X fitness program.

And here he takes down the tax the rich argument, in 90 seconds



The perfect vp pick, in my honest opinion.

[sc281]

You do realize that he had/has several democrats (particularly from the midwest and northwest) that agree with his budget? It's not about base at all. That's why Romney steeped out on this. Ryan is one of the few that can go to Florida and actually present and explain the case FOR Medicare to the elderly, and show how to reform it for my generation.

You're going against a lot of the pundits on TV, so Who would you have chosen?

He listens to the msm and their narrative that senior hate ryan.

What he fails to see is that despite pushing grandma off a cliff commercials, that seniors actually preferred ryans plan best. He also has an over 50% approval rating with seniors, as well as a 35% strongly approve out of that.

Seniors know that ryans plan is the only plan to protect their benefits in the long term.they arent as stupid and easily confused as democrats would have ypu believe.

You mean the last election where the Republicans took the House and gained more seats in the government than any party has in history?

He may be alluding to the '08 campaign with McCain. Nobody with an (R) in front of their name was going to win that year.

[stevo]

If he picks Paul Ryan it is proof that the (R) didn't learn anything from the last election. It's not how happy your base is it's how many voters you have. Ryan may make the hardcore teaparty Republican happy but that guy was gonna vote for Romney anyway. And he will lose the independents and make the moderate Republicans stay home.

His budget wouldn't affect you anyway -- that's the liberal spin. Those 55 and older are grandfathered
(lmao) into the old system.

Not there yet by several years. I know it's "liberal spin". Taking shots at me doesn't really add to this discussion. Maybe check out the "sports" forum?
