If you read through the comments on that article, you will find a claim that the photo has been ‘shopped. The metadata says it was actually taken in January, 2012: before Ryan was on the ticket.
I don’t have any way to confirm that now. Maybe someone else can.
I will note that the slogan actually comes from an anti-Palin T-shirt. You can easily find them on the web.
Where in the meta data does it say it was taken in January? I see everything except the date it was taken.

Actually, the metadata says Oct. 12, 2012.
Go here:
And plug in the URL of the photo.
That said, note that the metadata was edited to include the full caption:
“LANCASTER, OH - OCTOBER 12: A supporter of Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Republican vice presidential candidate U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) waits for a campaign event to begin on October 12, 2012 in Lancaster, Ohio. Ryan debated U.S. Vice President Joe Biden the evening before and Romney is scheduled to debate U.S. President Barack Obama for the second time on October 16. (Photo by Jamie Sabau/Getty Images)”
It would be just as easy to change the date.
