The choice of Paul Ryan, and the reaction, finally got me off the donation sideline.
I just donated to the Romney-Ryan campaign. And in case you were wondering, maxed out. For the first time in my adult life I was proud to do so.
Its not just about Romney-Ryan, its about who we are up against:

#Teaparty forced @MittRomney to pick @RepPaulRyan and killed 2 birds with one stone for #Democrats. It cost #GOP the WH and the House #p2

The blaring intro music for Romney and Paul Ryan is f**king ridiculous. Baggers love that nonsense. #tcot #p2

You can DONATE HERE.
Update:This tweet was removed from the embed because, as pointed out in the comments, I apparently didnt get that it was sarcastic. That happens sometimes, as we know. Scrolling through her tweets, shes actually quite conservative and quite humorous, including this one:

Go back to what? 4% unemployment? An annual budget? AAA credit rating? Less debt? #CountMeIn RT @BarackObama: Romney-Ryan: The Go Back Team.

Also, The first race card has been played against Paul Ryan.
I want 3 Republican Houses — better odds for Life and Liberty.
Didn’t you get the notice....the “purists” aren’t voting for Romney/Ryan.
I guess allowing barry in the white hut for the next 4 years will teach that GOP-e a lesson!
Unfortunately, there will be no America left for them to learn this lesson.
I’m all in. These bastards in the WH have got to go. It really is them or us.
These purists are the least rational people I’ve ever come across. There will be no FR if Obamaa gets elected. He will have free reign to squash conservative internet presence like a bug.
I don't know about FR but he'll have the chance maybe to put another lib on SCOTUS.
I’m tired of lame BS shoved down my throat by the GOP elite. Ryan means nothing as VP means nothing. No money for GOP from me.
I don’t believe they are seeing the big picture here. They are mixing religion with politics; hence, bringing God into man’s world.
To me, that’s a big no no. I don’t know much about the Mormon religion, nor do I care.
They say the VP has no “power”. Yeah, hell will freeze over when Paul Ryan just stands there doing nothing.
I believe they only see for today, not the future. Look at all the states running Tea Party Conservatives against RINO incumbents....and winning!
Ryan is a good man, but does not redeem the abortionist/homosexualist statist Romney
It’s going to be hard enough to vote Republican this year. If we didn’t have such a hardcore marxist America-hating foreigner who could put 3-4 more justices on the court, I’d be sitting it out entirely.
VP doesn’t make up for P. Romney’s damn lucky he’s up against such an exponentially evil bastard.
Maybe Romney has had a conversion. It’s happened before;
“I have spent most of my life as a Democrat. I recently have seen fit to follow another course. I believe that the issues confronting us cross party lines.” - RR
Of course there will. Russia's Bolsheviks were only in power for 72 years, a blink of an eye in historical terms. So the next three generations will grow up as 21st century serfs. Big Deal. And what's a few famines and gulags among patriots? (Sarcasm alert)
I condemn no one, nor did I say detestable. Please refrain your “comment” to what I have actually stated and I will respond.
Apparently not much. Screw the future. We'll be long dead and it will be our children and grandchildren who must carry the burden....if they are allowed to live of course. No sarcasm intended.
Since he pinged you, Lord knows why, please see my post here....

I, too, might get off my wallet now.
I guess you’re against the 1st amendment as well.
You know, we give so much cr@p towards the left who follow orders from their supposed leaders.
Now YOU are expecting me to follow orders from our sites owner (even though he did not state his thread as an order?), even though I disagree with it?
I am a purist, I will vote for the scum Romney because I have to hold my nose in the hopes that he will turn out more conservative in the end. Ryan helps a little, but I don’t see Ryan as a huge conservative either.
I am giving money, just not to Romney, ... He should be able to beat Obama without spending a penny, the guys in the White house should have been impeached but the guys in Congress don’t have the nads, they are afraid of being called racist.
There are many good candidates that are worth paying attention to, we need to bring in the next crop of conservatives.
Hi NoGrayZone. I checked out your fR page, and you seem like a really good person, and a great freeper. I myself have been pretty upset with Romney sometimes, but yes we need to keep our eye and the real enemy, and realize that we’re all in the same boat and on the same team.
I intend to hold off donating until I see whether or not Sarah Palin is invited to speak at the convention. If not I will definitely send less, if any!
