I could be less happy about a VP pick. Ryan I would like actually.

The full quote, and it’s context, say something quite different. I hope the Pubbies aren’t hanging their hopes on clipping portions of quotes out of context.

That's recycled talking point from a few months ago, no surprise.

I think it was wasserman-schultz that made it an issue that taxes built the roads, regulated the industry, controlled commerce etc. and we were supposed to be grateful for that.

“He wants to be as transformational as Reagan by undoing the entire Reagan revolution.”

Actually, the Party of Bush has done its own share of damage to the Reagan revolution.

"if you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen"

The statement is entirely consistent with the Obama/DNC collectivist belief system. This is their justification for property seizing policies, namely: Since you did not earn it you have no right to keep it.

Sadly there a lot of American who agree with this - at least in theory and as far as the rich go. What they don't understand is that in practice collectivism eventually extends down to the guy who owns an old trailer on a 1/4 acre of wasteland.

Paul Ryan is doing exactly what needs to be done in this campaign. Romney could definitely be tougher than he has so far (never ask for an apology, just refute the lie) but he can’t wallow in the mud with Obama and retain a presidential persona. However, guys like Ryan can. He called out Obama in very specific ways that will resonate with those who care to listen. One hopes this kind of deconstructing of Obama’s inane comments will be strong enough to garner media attention but more likely, they’ll try to bury it. We’ll see.

"Every now and then, President Obama pierces the veil. He’s usually pretty coy about his ideology, but he lets the veil slip from time to time."

Usually when he wanders away from his teleprompter ...

Paul Ryan for VP...and eventually the President. His intellect is much admired....and his looks please me as well!

[livius]

Let’s dump Romney and get Ryan.

[Colonel_Flagg]

I wish Ryan had run for President. It would have made life as a conservative so much easier.

[OrangeHoof]

...he (Obama) has to caricature them in the ugliest light possible to win the argument.

When has a liberal ever NOT done that when debating a conservative? They jump to personal attacks and mischaracterizations within the first 90 seconds of any discussion. This is standard procedure for them.

Guess I don’t have to pay my federal quarterlies then, if it’s not my business - you know, the one I didn’t build.

If you are a success, it’s because you had a great teacher inspire you!.....And a host of lousy ones to overcome.

“Those of us who are conservative believe in government, we just believe government has limits. We want government to do what it does well and respect its limits so civil society and families can flourish on their own and do well and achieve their potential.”

VERY well said, Congressman Ryan!!
