However, I am a firm believer voters should know exactly what they are voting for before filling out their ballots.
So, I do background checking on candidates and post it to Free Republic. This isn't always appreciated, as my research on Richard J. Santorum unearched a doozy.
Just so everyone knows, I will not and have not supported Obama.
Representative Paul Ryan is a Republican representative of a Democratic Party heavily-dominated region. One presumes he is as conservative as it is possible to be under that situation.
Here is the situation as I see it. Come November we will come to another fork in the road and we have a decision to make. Do we take the road to Greece with Obama/Biden or do we take the road to getting America back on its feet with Romney/Ryan. IMHO it is a pretty easy decision. Voting 3rd party or sitting home is the same as taking the road to Greece. It only helps the Obama/Biden ticket.
Opinions are like you-know-what, everybody’s got one.
Could have been much, much worse. (Think "Chris Christie.")
I like Ryan! And I will vote for him.
America will vote anyway they can just to rid themselves of zer0.
It doesn’t matter who, just punch the other ticket. One and done.
If Obummer gets 4 more years we are doomed.
If Mitt/Ryan win and don’t do what’s necessary, we are doomed.
Since past performance is generaly a good predictor of future actions, Mitt & Ryan will probably not turn things around.
One thing I do know is that with BHO2 there is no hope but maybe, just maybe, Mitt/Ryan could change.
It’s all I can hope for at this point.

My liberal tool former sister inlaw is all over Facebook touting this as political suicide. Funny stuff. I lean pretty libertarian myself but libertarians are the biggest impediment to their cause. Just as annoying as the communists.
How is the Patriot Act unconstitutional. And how is it wrong either legally or morally to wiretap conversations foreign enemies we are at war with are having with associates located within the United States?
What is your evidence for them "getting America back on its feet"?
I don’t think it is political suicide.
But after researching both men, I have to tell you, there isn’t a lot of hope on my part that they will turn our economy around and shrink government spending.
How many winning presidential elections has Karl Deninger masterminded? How many successful runs for county dog catcher or city council, for that matter?
My belief that Mitt will try to do what needs to be done has gone up 100% with his VP choice. I just hope he gets the chance with that choice. He probably would have been a shoe in with Rubio.
“One thing I do know is that with BHO2 there is no hope but maybe, just maybe, Mitt/Ryan could change.”
Quoted from the lady above. Actually I think Romney is on the right track by approving the Keystone pipeline and allowing other energy production to proceed.
Who gets to define who is and who isn't a foreign operative? How do they do it? And how accurate would their ability to decide this, be? As long as these three points continue to remain hazy, the average American citizen lost quite a bit of freedom to that act.
OMG, Did you really just give me ‘hope and change’ for a Romney presidency?
I’m waiting for 2016. I kind of like Ryan but to elect Romney will kill Conservatism. We can hold Obama in check for 4 more years. We can’t stop the dismantling of Conservatism if Romney is elected. I will never, ever vote Obama, but not a thing Romney can do to get my vote.
“How is the Patriot Act unconstitutional. And how is it wrong either legally or morally to wiretap conversations foreign enemies we are at war with are having with associates located within the United States?”
First off, if you want to know about the unconstitutionality of The Patriot Act, I suggest you do research. You shouldn’t take my word for it.
Secondly, I used to work for the Navy Security Group (think NSA wearing a Naval uniform) when it was illegal to listen into private conversations of U.S. citizens. It was legal to intercept the radio communications of foreigners, but not U.S. citizens. Now it is legal.
My opinion was, if you’re not doing something illegal or treasonous, why worry? Now, under BHO2, a person can be arrested just for expressing an oppositional opinion in his audience! BHO2 abuses power and targets his political opponents. This is called tyranny.
Denninger is a blowhard. He even voted for Obama! And he has the audacity to complain that Romney and Ryan aren’t conservative enough?!
To boot, he’s delusional. He actually thinks that Gary Johnson can win the election.
Denninger should stick to economic issues. When he veers into politics, he’s way out of his league.
