So basically Mittens has it both ways, while, at the same time, having it No Ways at all. This is the same vague stuff we would hear from Obama during his Hope and Change speeches. Mitt Romney is a candidate whom we won't find anything about until AFTER we elect him, since his dishonesty is on such an extreme level that nothing he says can be trusted.

It’s been suggested that a big part of picking Ryan was to get him out of the congress.

You seem to assume Politico is telling the truth. That’s not a good idea. Don’t be blinded by your Romney-hate like so many here.

To prove how incorrect Politico is watch the millions the DNC will spend on attacking one issue about Ryan- his budget.

The one thing that can be trusted above all is that Obama is a communist from childhood who learned everything he knows at the knee of a communist and is out to destroy this country.

Anybody but Obama.

Anybody but Obama.”

“Can we put the ABO! ABO! ABO! ranting to rest for this thread? I know questions about Mittens and questions about the official GOPe narrative are discouraged by Romney operatives, but let’s at least have ONE rational thread around here.”

So are you saying that obama is not a Communist? Or are you saying it doesn't matter?

I can't believe people here would let a Communist remain in the White House by putting politics above their country.

Do not trust Politico to give you the truth, or even a reasonable facsimile of it. Politico was created by Washington Post reporters who decided to leave the WP before the layoffs began due to its declining ad income and readership.

I trust Politico as much as I trust the New York Times and the Washington comPost. Which is not at all.

[Timber Rattler]

Just wait and see...Mitt picked Ryan to try and bamboozle Conservatives (again), and here he is admitting that he could care less about his VP-pick's budget plan.

I guarantee that Romney's people have already handed their RINO script to Ryan, and ordered him to not deviate from it, period. Ryan will be effectively muzzled, just like Palin was in 2008.

The question is, will he go rogue too, like Sarah did, or stick to the milquetoast Romney line.

My guess is the latter, since they've already got Ryan's minders in place.

And of course Politico never mentioned that Ryan's plan will have NO affect on Seniors currently 55 years of age and older.

I suspect this inconvenient fact was left out of the poll of Florida seniors cited by Politico.

What I take away from this article is that Romney would sign Ryan's budget if it was presented to him. So I'm not quite sure where the "not embracing his budget" comes from. Romney does say that he plans to present his own budget plan but of course he should say that. He's the presidential candidate. It would make him appear weak to say that he doesn't have his own plan.

As for the conspiracy theory that Romney chose Ryan to remove him from power in Congress, that is easily debunked. Ryan is not taking himself off the ballot for Congress so if Romney loses, Ryan will stay in Congress. However, if Romney wins, Ryan is now in even a more powerful position. So either way, Ryan is not going to have any power taken away from him - unless he loses the House race as well. Which is unlikely as I believe he got 70% of the vote last time around.

Right. I always depend on the Politico for Republican inside scoops. /sarc

[Salvation]

Wise up, Willard. Ryan is smarter than you here.

[newzjunkey]

Romney had a 50+ point plan in the primary, not the press is saying he needs a new plan or be forced to defend the Ryan plan?

Where is OBAMA's PLAN?
