Who cares? Don’t we have bigger issues to deal with than where a man puts his penis.

Good for Paul Ryan! More reporters need to be walked out on when they ask stupid questions like this.

Rolling Stone Magazine, Sept 27 2012 issue, has a small article with this as the lead:

I broke my tooth and was in the dentist's office when I read that little article. It was a movie review actually, for a documentary.

I felt like punching the magazine, but just laughed at it instead.

Can you imagine looking at a Democratic stronghold for half a century, and blaming its complete failure on the Republicans who couldn't possibly have less to do with any other city in America?! It was the most idiotic lead-in to an article I've ever read.

No wonder Rolling Stone is not taken seriously by anybody anywhere. Barring newly broken teeth, it was probably the last RS article I'll ever read.

Elsewhere in that issue, they claimed that the Korean megahit dance song/video "Gangnam Style" was the best commentary on Mitt Romney's world they've yet seen. A song from the other side of the world, which in no way has anything to do with Romney or America or politics or anything.

It was the most deranged idiotic writing I've read since the last time I picked up Time.

actually pro-growth policies help on a lot of issues including gun violence. economic growth adds jobs which get many off the streets.

Watch the video, Ryan did not end the interview. It was ended by someone off-camera.

You are correct. The producer ended the interview. Ryan was not falling for any of their "gotcha" questions, they weren't getting the kind of footage they wanted, so they bailed.

Bingo you are both correct it was an ambush and Ryan was not playing.

Just wanted to say I realized it was not your headlines.

I recognized immediately that the MSM was up to their usual trix.

Here is what was said:

Ryan: “But the best thing to help prevent violent crime in the inner cities is to bring opportunity to the inner cities, is to help people get out of poverty in the inner cities, is to help teach people good discipline, good character. That is civil society, that’s what charities and civic groups and churches do to help one another, make sure they realize the value in one another.”

CAMP: “And you can do all that by cutting taxes? With a big tax cut?”

Romney from the debate: “And the reason is because small business pays that individual rate; 54 percent of America’s workers work in businesses that are taxed not at the corporate tax rate, but at the individual tax rate. And if we lower that rate, they will be able to hire more people. For me, this is about jobs. This is about getting jobs for the American people.

“Look, the right course for America’s government, we were talking about the role of government, is not to become the economic player, picking winners and losers, telling people what kind of health treatment they can receive, taking over the health care system that has existed in this country for a long, long time and has produced the best health records in the world.”

“The right answer for government is say, How do we make the private sector become more efficient and more effective?”

The reporter knows the answer to his question. He was setting Ryan up for a gotcha question.

A related issue: The crime in our cities is the result of the illegal drug industry employing impoverished youth when in better economic times, these kids would have legitimate jobs.

Another issue is the influx of illegal drugs coming in from our southern border. Mexico is being overrun by powerful drug operations that have corrupted the Mexican government. Our border security is another failure of the Obama Regime. Cities like Chicago have been corrupted by the drug cartels and have become a sewer infested with gangs and drugs.

When you hear talk about voting for a “Rock Star” candidate, you know that candidate is overrated.

I posted a reply, mostly in response to the first few replies to this post, without looking at the video (I didn’t see the link). After watching it at your suggestion, I agree Paul Ryan handled it very well. Thanks for pointing this out.
