When do the attack dogs come after Ryan’s wife? Sooner rather than later I’d guess.

She's a Wellesley College graduate, and a lawyer. I'm sure she'll be able to hold her own with the jackals in the Democrat Party and their lapdog media.

>>fitness trainer at Washington Sport and Health Club

Many of the “fitness trainer”s I’ve observed know about as much about fitness as Myth Romney knows about conservatism.

What events has Mr. Ryan completed that demonstrate this alleged fitness?

Where’s the Iron?
