Ryan's emphasis on "having the courage to tell the truth" should, I sure hope, appeal a lot to independents.
Anyway, for the first time in months, I am --cautiously--optimistic about the furture of our country!
GO RR!
Unlike Palin at this point in 2008, Ryan has already faced the left's smear machine. He won't naively go on any MSM show with stars in his eyes thinking they honestly want to know more about him.
**Hillary rubbing hands together and smirking**
people who say it's 2008 all over again aren't paying attention. w/r/t obama, here's the understatement of the millenium: "the bloom is off the rose".
What were those five easy to remember points?
;-)
My prediction: Sarah will introduce Ryan at the convention as a surprise. She will nail a speech in which she points out that Ryan personifies what she has always stood for. Et voila! 100% of the conservative vote to R and R, now with enthusiasm.
The only sentence Paul Ryan has to say:
“If I’m an extremist, then I guess every family that balances their budgets are extreme.”
Everywhere except on election night. We can't forget that Ryan is not at the top of the ticket, Romney is. Palin was not able to turn McCain into a winner, it remains to be seen if Ryan can do the same for Romney.
If Roseanne Barr had somehow garnered the Democratic nomination in 2008, she’d be the president right now. There was no way a Republican was going to win that election, especially an old guy who isn’t exactly telegenic.
Not in any order:
energy independence
improving education
increasing trade
lowering the deficit and helping small business
repeal ACA
I was also optimistic about our future for the first time in a while...watching politicians who seem to love our country and willing to put country above politics and power...Time will tell..
Though Romney is a first class RINO, I know he doesn't hate our country like the current POS in the WH does...
Ryan is a truly a breath of fresh air...

They are going to try to “Palinize” him. Watch, it wont work, so then they will simply demonize him.
Standard rhetoric for any Pubbie choice not Noam Chomsky. The last thing Dems want is a campaign decided on discussion of the issues and ideology. The pick of Ryan not only forces the hand of Romney to talk about ideology, it should scare the bejeezus out of the Dem strategists who know what nitwits their president and veep are about discussing the proper role of government.
It didn’t really work as planned on Gov. Sarah Palin, either. She is almost certainly the most influential, high-profile female political figure in the world.
I visited my mom in her assisted living place today. Two conservative guys who we hang out with on the patio asked about how to get an absentee ballot.
Since I just went through the process with my mother, I knew just what to do. I have their applications printed complete with an addressed and stamped envelope. I’ll have to ask the known conservatives around there if they need any help. It felt good to assist these guys. It’s a little complicated for them to figure out, especially those with no internet connection. If anyone else is in a similar situation with their parent I encourage them to be proactive about helping these seniors get an absentee ballot.
Thank you.
BTTT!
Quite frankly I think at this point we need an extremist on budget issues.
