Des Moines, Iowa — Paul Ryan, the 2012 Republican vice-presidential nominee, will headline a prominent Republican dinner in Iowa this fall, a visit that is sure to stoke talk of a potential presidential bid.
According to Iowa governor Terry Branstad, Ryan will deliver the keynote speech at the governor’s birthday party in November. Last year, Senator Marco Rubio of Florida spoke at the event.
Branstad, in an interview at his capitol office, says he’s excited to welcome back Ryan to the Hawkeye State. “He’s a key player in the House and I like him a lot,” he says. “I enjoyed campaigning with him last year. He’s a good guy.”
Branstad says his birthday bash will be held at Adventureland, a theme park in Altoona, Iowa. It’s famous for its fried food, water rides, and the Tornado, a large wooden roller coaster.
Ryan’s appearance will be his first in Iowa, the home of the first-in-the-nation caucuses, since the election. Until now, he has avoided making trips that would hint at a possible run...

They are all threatened and I really believe bodily harm is threatened to them & their families as well. It’s like this country is run by the Wizzards of Oz - with OZ as the most evil masterminds we can imagine.
Does Iowa have toaster large enough to take 6 footers?
Paul Ryan, the Incredible Shrinking Man
“Keep walking mister!” Amy Bouzaglo
a) proved himself to be a complete bore in the campaign;
b) came out for gay adoption (?!?!?!?!); and
c) IS TRYING TO SPEARHEAD AMNESTY IN THE HOUSE!
That!
all it will do is give amnesty to 30 million illegals.
then those 30 million can bring in 5 family members from the 3rd world.. all these invaders will vote for democrats. democrats will then have absolute power to achieve their goal of turning the USA into a communist state.
communism can be fun, you can pretend to work ,and then stand in line all day or months to receive terrible quality “products” that are rationed by gov bureaucrats if they feel like it. you might get a loaf of bread if you fill out a 10 page form explaining why you need it and why you are not a conservative. you can wait a couple of months for gov to process your request , all the red tape and "efficiency " of gov . sure you don't have freedom to own anything but your gov masters know what is best for you. well democrat voters believe this though. I don't believe this and communism is hell on Earth.
primary Ryan and Rubio , 2 traitors
Wow.. Isn’t Ryan the guy “Democrats are pinning their hopes on”?
It was a Drudge headline just yesterday.
I know there’s plenty of time yet, but I sure hope a genuine conservative steps up before scum like Ryan, Christie, and Jeb Bush start getting referred to by the Democrat “mainstream” newsrooms as “front runners”.
Now...get out of the way...
Ryan was done, as was the Romney campaign, when he apologized for the 47% comment at the beginning of the VP debate. He has steadily and consistently moved downward since.
Paul Ryan Returns to Iowa

What for?
You have zero support
You threw away your base on immigration.
bu-bye
ryan is as credible as rubio - ie:They Are Not!
His budget was stupendous.
But, most everything since has been a disappointment.
Amnesty was the last straw, a complete and utter disaster. He might as well BE an illegal alien for all I care.
Paul Ryan is dead to me now. And that’s a friggin’ shame.
Pauly, we hardly knew ya. Until we did.
"Mittens" was THE ONLY GOP CANDIDATE to disavow amnesty, who never pandered about race, and never took his eye off the insanity of the so called "dream act".
Sorry, I'm not a Romney fan, but on this one issue, illegal immigration, he was the only candidate who was solid.
Ryan........he's shown himself to be a fraud, let him pay for weightlifting on his own nickel from now on. Send him home......
Are ya ready to stay home in 2014 yet?
I'll write-in a dark horse conservative before I'll give any consideration to staying home. Wouldn't want to be mistakenly identified with the typically apathetic, lazy, clueless American non-voters.
