Yeah, we’re divided alright. Half of us think Ryan was a brilliant pick, and the other half think it was a great pick.
Ryan is a great guy. Not conservative enough IMO, but better than most.
But for most people he has already been defined as a one-man Medicare death panel.
And now he’s going to be the death of Republican chances.
Defeat from the jaws of victory, again.
Well..., I don't see it that way.The Democrats believe their base is stupid enough to still get excited over the mention of Palin and Bush.
He hasn’t been defined as anything he has minimal name recognition. Most people can’t name the vice president much less the chairman of the house budget committee. Ryan will perform. If the American people are too stupid to fall for anythng brought up about Obama, the same people would have fallen for whatever lies were presented by the left.
The left is going to isolate, personalize and smear anyone we nominate. Don’t think it’d be different with any other pick.
Yeah, I noticed the quotes were all from anonymous sources. Just like last time. That doesn’t mean the sources and their quotes don’t exist. That just means the sources are cowardly bitches. Just like last time. The fact is, there are people out there who think like that. And some of them probably really are on the campaign. Understand, I hold none of this against Ryan. He didn’t staff the campaign. I do hold it against the quote-quote pros, whether on Team Romney or not, who do think like that and run their mouths and keyboards to the press when they should be shutting up and campaigning.
Are those “anonymous” sources from half the people on Free Republic?
No kidding. FR making the ticket a laughing stock.
I watched the video of Ryan and Obama at the Health Care roundtable, or whatever it was, again today. Then, I read about Obama’s trip to the Republican retreat, and how he felt the need to compliment Ryan.
Say whatever you will about Ryan, but he communicates better than anyone I’ve seen since Reagan. I’m not saying he’s Reagan, but he says what is on his mind, and he does so plainly, clearly and with a smile.
Best of all...he gets under Obama’s skin. Just imagine what he’s going to do to Biden! lol
One more thing, the dems seem to think he’s going to lose FL for us because of his budget (entitlement reform). Polls show that more seniors know him than any other age group, and their approval of him is at 52%.

"The country is going broke, a fiscal calamity awaits, but we can avoid it if we take responsible, urgent action. This campaign is about to get a major (and needed) injection of seriousness."
“And now he’s going to be the death of Republican chances.”
You are terminal stupid.
“No kidding. FR making the ticket a laughing stock.’
I know. America is on a fast track to economic oblivion. We’ve got the best team possible in terms of executive and legislative experience to turn her around. And Jim Rob is worried about how they worship Jesus. Excuse me for being practical, I’ll go with the team that will create an America where we will worship as we please because we are grateful for an abundant life and living in the greatest country on earth.
You're-absolutely-right bump. Pure Alinsky.
The Chicago Boys have a direct pipeline to Lucifer .... Saul Alinsky being busy at the moment, burning in hell.
That's what we call a salient fact .... which the Dems will run away from .... so that it needs to be brought up about every 15 minutes until November.
You’re-absolutely-right bump. Pure Alinsky.

Those of us Republicans who are displeased about the Romney/Ryan ticket are only displeased about the Romney part of it...
I believe Ryan is better than a lot of others that could have been picked. He still has his weak points. For those who feel Obama must be replaced with anyone, I think the Ryan addition to the ticket makes it much more likely Romney will become the next president.
There are things I really like about Ryan. There are some things that make me groan.
