Nobody can offset the problem you have with Romney. Sorry ~ you people made a big mistake and he’s still a loser.
Boy, I’m sure glad we have obama to fill in your complacency about the future of the company.../sarc
Romney is awful and I swore to myself I wouldn’t get suckered into voting for VP again. In practice, a VP does absolutely nothing and has no effect on anything once in office.
It would be nice to hear someone articulating conservative ideas, however, and Ryan is very, very good at that. The question in my mind is whether Romney (who is not conservative in any area except perhaps about the tax rate that affects him) will let him do so.
Romney is a poor speaker and has a poor command of facts, so he may not be comfortable with somebody who is just his opposite and, what’s worse, may not defend him or even let him speak in the first place.
However, there is a faint possibility that Ryan will actually shape up Romney a bit. One of the reasons that Romney is so inarticulate and can’t defend himself against attacks is that he really has no program of his own. Maybe Ryan’s job will be to give him one.
I’m going to wait and see. That said, I really wish Ryan were the Presidential candidate and Romney was off somewhere washing his temple garments and consulting Moroni about life on Kolob.
“you people”??
So you consider your small, isolated group of perfectionists to be “above the fray” somehow?
WE ALL GOT ROMNEY -— because Conservatives are horrible at circling the wagons and getting past our differences.
YOU could not bring yourselves to support the more Conservative people in the primary, after your “favorite” lost the Primary.
YOU, therefore, are as much at fault as anyone for Romney.
You’re right. Moreover, the Ryan plan is absurd. It looks reasonable on paper, but the politicians and bureaucrats in D.C. are going to implement something consistently over 20 years? Does anyone really think that we have 20 years to fix things?
Here’s a bumper sticker for the ticket: “Romney isn’t Obama, and Ryan is Smarter than Plugs.”
Exciting, isn’t it?
I, for one, didn’t, make a “mistake.” Romney wasn’t my choice, and I voted for someone else (Newt) even though the race was already over by the time my state had it’s primary. However, Romney must prevail, or we lose the Republic. It’s that simple.

I’m relevant
Just because you don’t believe Romney has converted to Pro-Life, and you doubt his sincerity in introducing Ryan as Pro-Life, doesn’t mean we’re obligated to share your doubt.
How about you quit bothering us and we’ll quit bothering you.
You’re not changing anyone’s mind here.
And you’re so biased, facts won’t persuade.
Don’t bother posting your list of Romney’s past sins.
The only thing that is important is how Romney will govern in the future.
His selection of Ryan, makes clear his commitment to the conservative wing of the party.
'you people'?
Many of here take great issue with the Repub-e's per RNC et al. With the battle within our Party; can only say, that 'they won'/we lost - this time.
There is a most critical 'bigger picture' here, of course re this election; but why bother to paint it; for you people. . .but it does speak; to not just the 'you-me/we' loser debate.
It does speak to the greatest threat of all; when it comes to our Country and Constitution and America's recovery or continued free-fall into not just irrelevance; but assured oblivion - if there is no change up, in November.
(For any other time, in American History; your 'choice' might invite a yawn. THIS election; as you must know; IS America's most critical turning point; since Independence was declared and fought for; wherey be America began the greatest moral experiment in Government. November 2012 is a vote 'for' the experiment to survive.
(Might add too; the very name, principle of this website 'Free Republic'; could easily end, with a stroke of the Emperor's pen. Just give 'O' a few months. We have already seen his rule by 'dictate'. Fail to understand how anyone here; can underestimate the threat; given that we continue to witness (and decry here) the sickness of Obama, Inc. and all so associated. )
I forget. Who was your choice?
