Paul Ryan [Another email from nobama]

What you need to know right now: This election is about values, and today Romney doubled down on his commitment to take our country back to the failed policies of the past.

Congressman Paul Ryan is best known as the author of a budget so radical The New York Times called it "the most extreme budget plan passed by a House of Congress in modern times." With Mitt Romney's support, Ryan would end Medicare as we know it and slash the investments we need to keep our economy growing -- all while cutting taxes for those at the very top.

Over the next few days, Romney's campaign and its allies will tell a very different story about Paul Ryan.

Our job is to make sure Americans know the truth about what Romney's choice says about him as a candidate and leader, and to stand with President Obama and Vice President Biden at another major moment in this campaign.

Here is another one for the Commies in the AFL-CIO:

While Mitt Romney announces Rep. Paul Ryan as his vice presidential pick today, a politician who will tout the same failed policies that have benefited only their deep-pocketed donors, tens of thousands of working families will launch a campaign to demand elected leaders support an agenda that gives economic rights for all.

The rally for the middle class today is about people, not secret money. It stands for everyone, not just Wall Street. We’re fighting for our economic rights, for a more secure future for all of us.

Click here to sign your name in support of working families and real economic justice for the middle class.

The demand is simple. All of us should have a right to full employment and a living wage, full participation in the electoral process, a voice at work, quality education and a secure, healthy future.

All of these rights are vital to getting our country back on track and making it work for everyone, not just the Mitt Romneys and Paul Ryans of the world. But if you can’t be in Philly today, you still can get involved.

With the election only three months away, we need to start working together to hold politicians accountable for their votes on these issues and make sure they listen to us after November. Today, Mitt Romney doubled down on his drive to destroy the middle class by selecting Paul Ryan, someone who wants to end Medicare as we know it, kill jobs for working families, and give tax breaks to the rich.

If you believe everyone should have basic economic rights, show your support here by clicking on the link and tell us what issues matter most as we head into Election Day: http://go.aflcio.org/2ndBillofRights.

Thank you for everything you do.

to make sure it registers with their dullard constituency

It will register with them and nothing you or I or Ryan can say will change that.

Conservative may be the producers, but the dullards are excellent at acquisition. No sane person could possibly believe what the Dims put out, but yet people vote for them.

Mystery of the ages I guess, but the "We don't want to raise taxes on anyone" mantra is always heard as tax cuts for the rich, and no amount of debate will change that in their minds. Nothing quite as effective as watching the Senate Minority leader and House speaker mumbling like some one with Rodney King syndrome.

As pure politicians the democrats have the Republicans outclassed by a mile. They know what they want and they use every power they have at their disposal to accomplish their goals. Republicans on the other hand always want to compromise on some issue, even though they have to move the county to the left in the process. Gee I wonder if that is stupidity or collusion?

Right, Bush’s policies. A FReeper submitted the following a while back, and I saved it. I’d give credit, but I failed to save the identity along with the text.

The day the Democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was actually January 3rd 2007, the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress. The Democratic Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.

For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is “Bush’s Fault”, think about this: January 3rd, 2007, the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress:
The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush’s Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION!
Remember that day... January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee. The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?

BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES! THANK YOU DEMOCRATS (especially Barney ) for taking us from 12,600 DOW, 3.5 GDP and 4.6% Unemployment...to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!

When will someone say that the so-called “failed policies of the past” created the greatest, most powerful nation in the history of the world ? What they are really referring to is free enterprise capitalism, individual liberty, the endowed right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, reliance on our founding documents and the principles embodied therein, which, being principles are timeless and being timeless are providential.

This is a battle for the very soul of America and, by extension, the future well being of mankind.
