Schultz makes me retch. Limbaugh named her right, blabbermouth.

Airhead also comes to mind. She doesn’t make the bimbo squad though. Attractiveness is required for that and she isn’t.

If elected, where does Ryan go next though? President doesn’t seem right yet if at all. He is green still.

The biggest thing, the only real thing so far, that bothers me about him is that he has never held a job outside politics... ever.

Ryan is a good man. The VP pick is not important to most voters, but he brings some good things to the ticket.

Let’s roll.

Here is a great refresher "course" on Paul Ryan The Man With the Plan - "Roadmap" to save America from its looming fiscal collapse.

If he can avoid being Quayled Ryan’ll be next in line for the presidency.

Let me understand this. If you never held a job outside that means you have no brains? Good thinking. /s/

Not true. He worked a variety of salaried jobs as a young man. The important thing is he knows how to work. And he is determined and patient enough to do things step by step.

Seriously?

If he was a paperboy for a day he would have more real world experience than the current asshat in the vice presidents chair. Ryan has proven he understands a balance sheet and has common sense lacking in the current administration.

Does 0 bummer or assassination insurance VP POTUS Biden not seem much greener with experience? Nothing like being a "Voting Present" senator / community organizer speaks of experience to me, especially since he campaigned in all 57 states of the US - which only has 50 states. Go ahead and give a kid with asthma a Breathalyzer instead of other treatment. ****, I hate democraps.

I have read his bio and am aware of his meager experience in the private sector. I do not think that being a marketing consultant for the family dirt business, driving the Weinermobile, being a waiter, fitness trainer or summer jobs at a camp constitute serious and in depth experience in the private sector nor business acumen.

As far as intellect goes, let’s stick to the subject since this was never mentioned or questioned. Noodling catfish can raise questions about sanity. I have done it and will not be repeating that adventure.

The fact is that while he exhibits conservative tendencies and seems to have at least more than a whit of knowledge about economics he is mostly a Washington insider and policy wonk having been nothing else since he was 28 years old. Most people who balance a checkbook can do a balance sheet. Recognition of the economic pit we are in offers little evidence of prowess in any regard since any damn fool could see that we can’t pay for what has been promised.

And yes, if he was paperboy he would have more experience than obabaloon. That is not the subject either. The fact is that I would vote for an unknown shoe to get rid of oblabla.

As for his hobbies, will you next exhibit him bare chested ala Putin with a kerchief around his brow like Rambo? Neither instance would change my view that his experience is dominantly political and Washington centric. I have no doubt that could be used to good advantage in the Spinate or House of Representin’ given the opportunity.

I continue to mistake this forum for a place of logical and objective discussion. Clearly others do not consider it so and instead are as bot like against oblabla as the obots are for him.

While I am not in agreement with Romney I will still vote against oblabla. That will not change.

No, I’m not kidding.
