Romney spokeswoman Sarah Pompei said Saturday that the candidate “applauds” Ryan’s ideas, but intends to issue his own blueprint for reshaping the federal budget. After Romney’s speech introducing Ryan, advisers said the former Massachusetts governor has no intention of being handcuffed to all the specifics of Ryan’s plans — though he has said in the past that he’d sign Ryan’s budget if passed by Congress.
“He has said it moves us in the right direction. He has said that if it’s sent to him, he would sign it. And he has said that he will put forward his own plan,” said one senior Romney adviser. “He is the presidential candidate.”
It’s not clear whether Romney will address his differences of opinion with Ryan, whatever they may be, in any depth between now and Nov. 6, or whether he’ll detail a debt-reduction proposal with the same degree of specificity as Ryan’s. Romney evidently hopes to benefit from Ryan’s brand as a fiscal warrior, without handing Democrats a gift-wrapped attack line to drive conservative-leaning senior citizens away from the GOP.
That may be easier said than done. Introducing Ryan in Norfolk, Va., Romney touted the Wisconsin lawmaker’s fiscal expertise and vowed that he’d protect entitlement programs as president. He called for “bold, specific and achievable” fiscal policies, but did not mention Ryan’s budget by name.

You are helping Obama. What part of that are you too stupid to understand?
What part of that are you too stupid to understand?
He’s running against Obama, you idiot. Are you so stupid you want Obama re-elected? Grow up and face reality. You only have 2 choices, Romney or Obama, and this election is vital to the future of our country. Not voting for Romney is helping Obama and the socialist left. Stop acting like a spoiled child.
No I don't...I've got five choices:
1) Vote for Romney
2) Vote for Obama
3) Vote Third Party
4) Write in someone else's name
5) Stay Home
Depending on my mood on election day, I'll probably be voting Third Party, specifically Virgil Goode.
Romney and the GOP-E can go to hell, and as far as the country goes, it deserves exactly what it elects.
Good luck with your RINO, huckleberry.
Or retreads.
I am Precint Committe Chair - still wont be voting for Romney. I’ll vote Conservative (hopefully GOP) down ticket but my state has rules around major/minor party status. Since the GOP has decided to run a socialist against a socialist and since there is no conservative at the top of the ticket, I will then use my top of ballot to support the Constitution Party.
