What people are saying about Paul Ryan as VP pick

Tampa Bay Times ^

[stevek1]

"Throughout his life, Mitt Romney has made great decisions, and choosing Paul Ryan as his running mate is a truly inspired choice. ... Paul Ryan is a courageous reformer who understands our nation's challenges, has proposed bold policy solutions to solve them, and has shown the courage to stand up to President Obama and other Washington politicians trying to tear him down.

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.

I’m hoping he was a fun loving good guy with lots of hometown friends.
Good clean fun loving pranks, high school shenanigans and an all around good guy in college.
I hope he releases every bad grade, school stuff good and bad then asks why the HELL obammy fails to release anything?????
Then asks WHAT does the Kenyan have to hide?????

[SeekAndFind]

Which ones of his voting record were against the constitution?

[doc11355]

Ryan is better than the other RINOs who have been mentioned as VP choices. But he is not a real conservative.

Please review Ryan's actual voting record in Post #13 and get back to us.
What theoretical "Conservative" standard are you comparing him to, Barry Goldwater?

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks. I certainly hope it works out this way.

[EBH]

Not the question...so ..he can vote.

Can he substantiate his positions and use the power of the Constitution or is he ‘just a vote in the box?’

[JCBreckenridge]

Paul Ryan for POTUS! Flip the ticket!

[Batrachian]

I'm glad Romney didn't try to make some crazy "game changing" choice that would make the election about Romney's VP and not about the Obama disaster, which is what the election should be about. Now they can move forward and take the fight to the enemy. I doubt the Obama media whores can make this election about Ryan.

Well done.

[lightman]

That is the ONLY thing that could get me excited about Romney.

[popdonnelly]

Where’d you get that?

[Truth29]

"No kidding. I hope he was truly vetted and has the record of a saint. No 7th grade pranks, no high school shenanigans, no college fun. I can’t wait for the press to start interviewing his elementary school principal. Ugh."

They are out now trying to dig up old girl friends, pet histories, ex teachers, etc. If they can't find anything, they will make it up.

[popdonnelly]

They’ll find a next door neighbor who’s mad at Ryan.

[RetiredArmy]

Ryan is better than the other RINOs who have been mentioned as VP choices. But he is not a real conservative.

We haven't had a true conservative since Reagan.

[Figment]

That’s not being cynical, that is being realistic

Ryan, the MALE “GRIZZLY”

Paul Ryan is a good choice. Solid. Conservative. Extremely smart. But it’s also obvious that the main reason Romney chose him was because he believes he needs someone like Ryan to shore up his support in the conservative base. And candidates who have done that have not had a good record of winning.

[Orange1998]

Because a true conservative would focus on curbing Banksters instead of cutting agricultural and medicare. The Big Banks must really love R&R ticket.

[marygonzo]

Ryan is a good conservative. He courageous and true to the Tea Party. I plan to vote for him.

James Carville (CNN) just criticized the way Paul Ryan was dressed! No tie! And then he said that Romney didn’t have a jacket on!

They could get some new age sartorial tips from POTUS and MOTUS.
