“So, apparently the complaint is that the Ryan budget isnt this extreme right-wing budget that would get zero votes in Congress and play into the hands of the Democrats on election time.”
The problem seems to be that the democrats have already successfully labeled Ryan and his “plan” as just that. If we are to support and go with Paul Ryan we are going to have to defend and define that plan aggressively before the Democrats do it.
However that issue is not an issue of who the V.P. pick is or what our plans are at all. That is an issue of advertising, marketing, speeches, debates, interviews and grassroots campaigning. Getting the truth out is the biggest challenge for Republicans in every election. When we succeed at that, we win the election. But too often we don't succeed and the Democrat lies are bought into by the public. That is an issue we would be dealing with no matter what happened with the V.P. pick. We could have nominated Mother Teresa and the Dems would make it so the only thing the swing voters knew about her was that she's a religious extremist who will destroy women's rights.

ROFL! ‘successfully’?!? you have a crystal ball for november?
The Democrats are maknig the attack but R+R and Team GOP have counter-attacked.
Advantage Romney.
” we are going to have to defend and define that plan aggressively before the Democrats do it.”
Which is why off-target articles like this are helpful only to Obama.
