Seems to me that Ryan was preaching to the choir on this subject. These are the conservative of the conservative that attend the Values Voter Summit, and virtually no one there is voting for Obama.

But they have to be motivated to go out and vote, not just sit home.

Two hecklers who were given the bum's rush were undoubtedly in the Bamster's camp.

Yes but Romney needs to build a bridge to them. That is why Ryan was sent. Elections are won by coalitions of voters. You have to build that coalition and Value Voters have shown they will not show up on Election day if you do not court them.

Actually, I disagree. This is going to be a typical election: decided by turnout of respective bases. willard is already winning the mushy middle by a large margin. husseins part of the electorate is never going to vote for willard. That leaves conservatives who are wondering why they should show up to vote for a liberal with an R after his name.

Paul Ryan is doing what he was brought on to do: bring the conservative base back onboard.

He was preaching to the grumblers, half-hearted back-handed types, and the ABRs in the conservative movement.
There aren’t many, but some of them are right here on FR.

Words of wisdom to contemplate. Re-elect Obama and you can basically kills social conservatism goodbye for all time - gay marriage and the outlawing of behavior that defies it (like eliminating adoption agencies that only serve man-woman married couples), taxpayer funded abortions, affirmative action for LGBTs, you name it, it will be ‘game over - you lost’ for the conservative movement.

It’s that serious. The Democrats have opened the Kimono, they are more extreme than ever. We lose now, we lose forever.


““If we renew the contract, we will get the same deal – with only one difference. In a second term, he will never answer to you again,” Congressman Ryan said at the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C., on Friday. “In so many ways, starting with Obamacare, reelecting this president would set in motion things that can never be called back. It would be a choice to give up so many other choices.” “

He was speaking at an event with like minded Americans. He was getting his message out and there's a small chance parts of it may get picked up by MSM.

Where would you suggest he speak? To the Chicago strikers? An OWS group?
