“This decision bodes well for his Presidency and cabinet showing he has the fortitude to surround himself with those who will put America first which is a good sign for most Conservative’s last choice. He is Wimp Romney no more.”
Like Keith Madden, one of his top advisers, who in 2008 was sabotaging Sarah Palin and McCain on the eve of the election which seated Obama. Or how about Robert Kagan, the Islamist Loving SOB, whose book ‘The World America Made’ is a big hit in the administration and was apparently recommended by Barack Obama himself. It rambles something about a world of democratic Islam that we ought to embrace. And he rebuked Glenn Beck on Fox News for saying that the revolution in Egypt would lead to a radical Islamist coming to power. Now we know why the Muslim Brotherhood thing “isn’t a part of [Romney’s] campaign.” Or how about the scumbags who support ObamaCare/RomneyCare, or took the time to say that Mittens still supports gay leaders in the boy scouts, and on and on and on.
There is nothing more odious than to mention God, the scripture or even prayer around something that also mentions Mitt Romney.
All it does for me is make it all the more painful that I cannot in good conscience vote for the GOP ticket and must write in someone else.
Well, i hope you like disappointment
It changes everything for me. It changes how I look at Mitt Romney.
This is a great pick.
I am very happy about Ryan VP.
The fanatic, irrational Romney haters, will descend upon and foul your nest.
Didn't you know he's a Mormon, a marxist, a rino, and he is the moral equivalent of obama.
I just donated my standard 20.12 to Romney-Ryan hoping that they will dismember obama's four years of socialism.
No, it doesn’t. Romney sets the low standards.
There is a small cadre of posters on FR who are dedicated to polluting every election thread with their hateful anti-Romney screeds 24/7 (don't these people have lives outside Free Republic). It definitely gives this place a DU kind of feel.
Most of us are unhappy with Romney as nominee, including myself. Speaking for myself, I was also less than thrilled with John McCain, both Bushes and Bob Dole. I haven't had a GOP nominee I was happy about since 1984 when I was just a young man who was serving in the military and not even married yet.
Personally, I think the method of choosing a nominee is badly flawed. Why do small states like New Hampshire and Iowa have so much influence while conservative powerhouses like Texas don't even get a say (the nomination is usually decided by the time the primaries come to them)?
Maybe we can change the method by which we choose our nominees because it does not seem very conducive to choosing the most conservative nominee.
So until we change things, the fact is we have Mitt Romney at the top of the ticket. I am encouraged by the choice of Paul Ryan. I think Ryan is a "Tea Party" pick much like Sarah Palin was a Tea Party pick by McCain.
The difference this time around is that Paul Ryan is seasoned in Beltway politics and is fully prepared for what is coming his way. In other words, we don't have to worry about Ryan having a "Katie Couric" moment. In fact bubbleheads like Couric might be afraid to take on Ryan because he can run circles around them.
Not to diminish Palin, who would have made a fine VP or President, but she was definitely unprepared for the unbridled hate and undeserved ridicule that was heaped upon her by the mainstream media - who were bound and determined to get their Obama elected at any cost, even at the expense of sacrificing any journalistic integrity they ever had.
Speaking of Palin, even she is onboard with the Paul Ryan pick and that is good enough for me. I am supporting the Romney/Ryan ticket wholeheartedly and voting Tea Party conservative all the way downticket. If we don't turn this country around now and build on our 2010 successes, we probably never will.
