Paul Ryan Political Philosophy

[VictoryGal]

A nice counterbalance for RiNO Romney (who would have so many dots on this graph that it would look like the measles)

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Should be at the TOP of the ticket.

That’s a nice chart, but I see no answer regarding Paul Ryan’s stand on social issues.

I just hope Ryan can survive the VP debates...

What Catholic Vote said about Paul Ryan yesterday:

 

Paul Ryan, Representative from Wisconsin's 1st District  

Life
Co-sponsored the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act.

Voted to amend the health care law so that no federal funds may be used to pay for any part of any healthcare plan that offers abortion coverage.

Voted for the Abortion Pain Bill and the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act.

Voted to prohibit partial birth abortion.

Marriage
Voted for a resolution proposing a constitutional amendment that would define marriage as the union between one man and one woman.

Voted against repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.

Religious liberty
Voted for the Religious Liberty Protection Act of 1999.

On the HHS mandate: “This is much, much bigger than about contraception. This is about religious freedom, First Amendment rights, and how this progressive philosophy of fungible rights of a living breathing constitution really clashes and collides with these core rights that we built our society and country around.”

Embryonic life
Voted against the Stem Cell Research Act of 2007, which would have required the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct and support research on embryonic stem cells.

Voted in favor of developing methods to produce stem cells without using human embryos.

School choice
Voted in favor for school vouchers in Washington, D.C.

Wonderful pick!

This family is NOW in the fight!

Still can't stomach mittens though...

Clearly a RINO.

[bigdaddy45]

In 2007 Congressman Ryan voted for a bill that would ban employment discrimination based on sexual orientation. He’s also backed components of the DREAM act. Again, clearly a RINO, and Romney-Lite.

After reading his bio why isn’t he running for President instead of Romney? How much influence does the VP have? Are they just a mouthpiece?

[PGalt]

Thanks for posting. Very interesting/informative/educational.

[Vermont Lt]

Someone that voted for TARP is on the extreme right? Really?
