I feel better about supporting the Romney candidacy now that Ryan is the pick. I was already planning to support him anyway though.
The problem is the RATs will demagogue the Medicare issue into the ground and Ryan will cost Romney far more votes than he wins him.
As much as I personally love Paul Ryan, I think this race just went from a slight Obama advantage to an overwhelming one. Romney will now likely lose at least as badly as McCain did — maybe worse.
What Romney/Ryan need to do is talk extensively about Obamacare letting seniors & terminal pts just expire due to costs.
Sort of reminds me of Hitler.
That is why they put sugar on a turd — to let you pretend it is a candy bar.
I will still vote Romney as we must unseat the radical communist Muslim anti-American in the White House, but I am still not going to like doing so.
I maintain that Romney is a lock to win election. Paul helps his chances IMHO, but either way, Obama is toast. The economy doomed him. No president could win re-election with this economy shackled to his leg, despite the entire MSM propaganda effort to run interference for him.
Obama is a one-term wonder. I predicted that back before his inauguration and I stand on my prediction. Obama is toast.
I hate Mittens and agree with Soros that whether it is Obama or Mittens, there will be no real difference. However, I fail to see how Ryan, if he comes out swinging, will be a negative. If anything, it helps shore up the sheeple “conservatives” and will cover Mittens as he goes further left in the general. You can count on that. The RomneyCare stuff over the past week or so was a strategic turn. Ryan will help protect his flank from conservative criticism, because conservatives like shiny objects. He can go as far left as he wants and will probably be okay. Depends if he overreaches or not. All in all, this was, unfortunately, a good choice for Mitt Romney. I consider his chances of winning to be better. Which, to my point of view, guarantees GOPe control for the next 4 or 8 years, followed up with the libs. We’ve lost big.
Ryan will inform the seniors exactly what Obamacare is doing to Medicare (and the economy). The Annual enrollment period for Medicare starts in October and the Seniors will be horrified as to the changes (reduced coverage) and increased costs coming online January, 2013.
