Ryan freaks out Obamaland

The Democrats are losing it, literally. The Obama camp and its surrogates are losing the fight to control the narrative about Mitt Romney and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) They are losing the effort to distract voters through the presence at the GOP convention of Obama campaign staffers such as Robert Gibbs and Ben LaBolt, who spend their time wandering about and whining to the media here in Tampa about the “negativity” of the other side. They are losing the ability to con the media into focusing on likability, as if perceptions of Romney and Ryan wouldn’t improve after this event.

That spilled over last night in a group outburst from Romney-Ryan critics over Paul Ryan’s speech. Needless to say, the speech was a ringing success with delegates and in much of the mainstream media. Ryan bloodied President Obama with blow after blow, all the while appearing cheery and sincere. The crowd loved it. So nearly en masse the left decided that Ryan “lied.”

For starters, that is the ultimate compliment. It is in effect saying the speech worked so well and was received so well that the only thing to say is that it was a con job.

But the “lies” turn out not to be lies at all. They are not even misrepresentations or exaggerations.

"I understand the frustration of Obama’s camp and its supporters. Moreover, I think much of the media accusations were offered in haste in an effort to get out the instant reaction without the media doing their full homework. It is a revealing moment, for the press and the Obama camp. For members of the Obama team, it means they are losing the race, and they know it."

I think they’ll be losing more after the Dim convention, with the likes of Sandra Fluke speaking.

Those Styrofoam Greek Columns of Obama finally make sense.

They’ve been freaking us out the last 3 1/2 yrs so it’s good to see payback.

The DNC convention will be a world class theater of the absurd with whining and lying Liberals.

Between the MSM wall-to-wall indulgence of their infantile theatrics to their own efforts to out-lie one another, it will be a regular sewer.

““College graduates should not have to live out their 20s in their childhood bedrooms, staring up at fading Obama posters and wondering when they can move out and get going with life,” “

Best line in several years of politics. It says volumes in a small number of words.
Bravo!!

Man, I remember that day!

From doing some research into my father-in-law's wounding on August 11, 1944 near Vire, France, I've renewed my interest in WWI reading and videos. What that generation went through to protect our freedom is appalling.

Right now I'm reading Challenge for the Pacific: Guadalcanal: The Turning Point of the War" by Robert Leckie. What a great first-hand account.

I refuse to watch a second of their carnival next week. Never been much for masochism.

I won't be watching it either. I guess if someone came over and put a gun to my head to make me watch, I'd have to consider it.
