Funny you should mention liberals not liking Ryan.
My mind reeled all around, grabbing all sound bytes and such from my memory bank.
Ryan is Catholic, as an aside....YAY for that. Though please calm, such things are not what I base my support on. But I’m really glad there’s a Catholic on the ticket. The Catholic church has been doing its best to rile up support for its fight back against Obamacare and its forcing of giving birth control, abortifacents, how soon will the Catholic church have to pay for abortion the church asks? So that’s a plus as I see it but I’m a bit prejudiced.
The thing that really stands out in my head is Ryan’s reputation for all matters fiscal.
My goodness the libs will be howling bejeesus.
First, Romney choosing Ryan is indicator that he’ll not abandon attacks against Obama for his awful fiscal policies. Not that I thought he would but to put Ryan right in their face has to sting.
I thought the plan Ryan advanced for Medicare to be very reasonable and by choosing him for VP, I cross fingers that the Repubs might be going to push for reform.
Some of the best fiscal plans for us common folks were fought for and pushed by the pubs, oncit upon a time.
First there was COBRA. I don’t know why that awful Soptic fellow didn’t get COBRA when he left GS Steel. It’s the law, company’s got to provide it, for many months depending upon the circumstances. Husband survived brain infection and we had COBRA for two years until Medicare kicked in. Course you got to pay for it but I ponder why in all the arguments COBRA is not mentioned.
Then there was the 401K plans. I know stupid people, people who are habitually poor, didn’t sign up for such thing but if ever a middleclass person was to amass any sort of nest egg, it was through a 401k or IRA.
So I cross fingers and hope Romney’s history as a business person and Ryan’s expertise, we can get these fiscal affairs straightened out.
Finally, now that yon reader is exhausted, don’t tell me about lack of foreign policy experience. Obama’s the biggest loser ever on the world stage! No way would Mittens be any worse, likely he’ll be waaaaay better.
The thing that really stands out in my head is Ryan’s reputation for all matters fiscal.

Exactly....and that’s one of the biggest reasons that liberals fear him.
He also actually has a good instinct on foreign policy.

I am energized by this pick and I know many others are too!
