Well, goll-ee!
It’s been suggested that a big part of picking Ryan was to get him out of the congress.
Really?
Who suggested this?
“It’s been suggested that a big part of picking Ryan was to get him out of the congress.”
Ugh, so they get to hold up Ryan as a nice shiny prop to appease the base, while at the same time it is an attack against our interests? Politics is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
IMO, the major portion of Ryan’s plus, is his budget plans.
If Romney were to cut Ryan off at the knees, that would end the biggest benefit he could give to him.
Imagine the debates, with Ryan unable to touch on his best asset when debating Biden.
Ryan is dead set against Obamacare too, and much of it based on the negative budget impact.
As for getting Ryan out of Congress, he should refuse to resign until after they win the election. McCain never tossed his Senate seat.
Once Ryan is VP, good luck shutting him up then. His voice will be even louder. Romney would want to run in 2016. If he gets cute that just might die on the vine.
That was my very first thought. Making him VP makes him Mitt’s slave.
VP's usually gets sent to state funerals in places like Abba-Zaba and the Congo, to appease the dictators and witch doctors. He's leaving on a jet plane, don't know when he'll be back again.
Well, goll-ee!
