[John W]

Thought we needed this.

[backwoods-engineer]

Thanks for #182.

I will vote Romney in self-defense and to disrupt Obama, anyway, but I guess it is good to have someone more conservative than Mitt on the ticket.

[sheikdetailfeather]

Kid Rock sings “Born Free and guess what??? HE IS A CONSERVATIVE!!

And what would you say to everyone who makes the claim that Rubio isn’t Constitutionally eligible for the job?

[9YearLurker]

Ryan will be in a better position to do good in the House and Senate as the President of the Senate and Romney’s point man with both the House and the Senate.

This is by far the best VP nominee we could have expected out of Romney.

[Northern Yankee]

I'd love a Ryan shirt as well. (It will drive my teacher colleagues insane!)

I'll bet there will be a few of them around here in Wisonsin!

[maggief]

“How long before the democrats roll out the Rolls-Royce symbol for Romney/Ryan campaign?”

vs. Cash for Clunkers?! :)

[RoseofTexas]

Did he actually say that...bawahahha..brains on obamaCOKE! Wolf needs to pull his head out of the JOKERS butt once in a while! Gosh I can just hear the lament and gashing of teeth over using the battleship as a back drop from the EVIL RATS!!

[johnthebaptistmoore]

The left will, assiduously, attack Paul Ryan for his entitlement reform ideas, and the left will succeed in getting many senior citizens to fear him. Win or lose, this is what the left will do, all the way up to the general election.

[rxtn41]

Agree dems will be panicked....

[Artcore]

Good point. It is amazing watching these anti-Romney types show more disgust with Romney than the Marxist who currently occupies the Oval Office. And we say that the DUmmies are unhinged!

[MD Expat in PA]

Who sings this “Born Free” song? Anyone know?

Kid Rock

[Miss Didi]

Ryan is a metalhead, hunter, workout fantatic, Ayn radian, Hayek reader, etc

As a college student Paul Ryan read the fiscal budget for fun while Barry smoked pot.

[Arthur McGowan]

Why do you support Obama?

[wtc911]

This is why Biden has been on vacation for two weeks. They didn’t want him saying something stupid so close to this announcement.

Not the way I see it.

They kept (are keeping) Joe locked up so that they can plausibly claim health or personal reasons for him to bow out at the convention.

Now they know against whom they are casting his replacement.

[going hot]

Ryan is the man we need for our future as a free people. My only disappointment is that he isn’t at the top of the ticket.

He is still young, give him, say 7-8 years.

[hope]

Bob Seger!

[Northern Yankee]

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, indeed!

[FourtySeven]

A Rubio nomination would have put the focus of the campaign on illegal immigration.

Not to mention the "eligibility" issue. From both sides.

On a totally unrelated issue: I'm loving this iPad I just got. Much easier to FReep with compared to an iPhone. Haha

[mnehring]

I’ve been digging around to see what kind of attack they may have and the worst so far they came up with his he is an admirer of Ayn Rand. Oh the HUGE MANATEE!
