I’d like to believe him and think it can be done. I doubt Romney though but will vote for him anyway. The alternative is just stupid.
Let's leave it at that. I don't want to hear further talk of Obamacare's replacement post repeal, unless it's lip service to keep the fear mongers off balance.
Seems to me like we'll need a reach around too if Obamacare is not repealed.
Any anti-Obama rhetoric? Is his name mentioned? C’mon GOP.....FIGHT!
I like Paul Ryan
I like Chris Christie
I even think Romney can do some good
There are 2+ million employees of the federal government and 535 member of congress and most of them see these guys are a real threat to their present circumstance, job, pay check, house and gravy train.
To think that these guys can “fix” this situation is ridiculous. Plus, what makes us think the guys who got us here are the ones to get us out of the mess?
Hope I am wrong.

Yeah after four years of the run-around, Romney is here to at least give us a “reach around”
Paul Ryan did a very good job.
(would call Obama, “Mr. Obama”, rather than pRes_ _ent Obama,
in the Reagan way, however).
Little Missy Chrissie Matthews saying Ryans speech was racist and full of dog whistle code speak. Surprise, surprise.
The speech by VP nominee Rep. Paul Ryan was AWSOME! Great job Rep Paul!
Best line was about college grads still living in mom’s basement staring at their faded obama poster.
I started watching when Tim Pawlenty spoke: Grade C. Huckabee: Grade A-. Both of them tore up owebama pretty well.
Condi Rice gave a very powerful speech but she never mentioned o-boy. Grade B+.
Susanna Martinez was very good and tore up o-boy a little. Grade B.
Paul Ryan was pretty awesome. He didn’t hit his stride until midway and then he REALLY tore owebama a new one. It reminded me of listening to Ronaldus Magnus in 1979. Yeah, he was THAT good. Grade A+.
Republicans hate women and minorities which is why black and Hispanic females presented prime-time speeches.
I have confidence that when Mittens and Ryan win the adults will be back in charge and the power of the American economic engine will be unleashed again.
I just watched Paul Ryan’s speech, and it was the best speech by any politician I’ve ever heard. He’s even better than Ronaldus Magnus, and I never thought I’d ever say that. I am absolutely in awe of this man.
Very much agreed with Ryan on spending cuts being needed, but I would like to see much more funding cut than he. He wouldn’t want to cut all of the romanticist, so-called progressive programs and offices (conceived in the mid-1800s, foisted on us more recently) because of his religion/culture. I would rather that all of those were completely abolished (public education, no-fault divorce, etc.: what Susan B. Anthony and her friends desired and wrote about).
Besides, he’s running for the office of vice-president—not a whole lot of influence or duty there. The ticket is backwards (should be Ryan/Romney, in that order, for a small improvement).
Excellent! Right on Ryan!
Here is a great true-life story from the young generation of new conservatives who get it:

Recently, while I was working in the flower beds in the front yard, my neighbors stopped to chat as they returned home from walking their dog. During our friendly conversation, I asked their little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day.
Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, “If you were President, what would be the first thing you would do?”
She replied, “I’d give food and houses to all the homeless people.” Her parents beamed with pride!
“Wow… what a worthy goal!” I said. “But you don’t have to wait until you’re President to do that!” I told her.
“What do you mean?” she replied.
So I told her, “You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and trim my hedge, and I’ll pay you $50. Then you can go over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out and give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house.”
She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, “Why doesn’t the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?”
I said, “Welcome to the Republican Party.”
Her parents aren’t speaking to me anymore.
Why do the GOP VP nominees stand out head and shoulders above the “meh” POTUS choices?

This is a video of the 2nd and 1st Battalion Royal New Zealand Infantry, made up of Maori and non-Maori New Zealander soldiers as they perform the HAKA, in a farewell to a fallen comrade lost recently in Afghanistan. The HAKA is a Maori warrior dance performed for different occasions, to show respect, honor and strength. It can be performed for burials, celebrations, sports events, etc. It is immensely stirring, and shows strength and fierce concentration and passion.
Go to www.blackfive.net. On the left side of the page, scroll down to the 12th post, “Kiwis Give a Farewell Haka to a Fallen Comrade.” Read the post, and also the comments made by soldiers at the end of the post. Then watch the video.
And pass it on...Paul Ryan would love to see this. This guy IS a warrior!
The Republican convention’s main theme was the economy and getting people jobs. Can anyone explain to me why illegal immigration was not addressed? Afterall America now houses aprroximately 20-40 million illegal aliens of whom at least half have taken American jobs.
