After watching Paul Ryan’s speech, Joe Biden just entered the Federal Witness Relocation Program.

He's retreated to Dick Cheney's old undisclosed location. Muffled sobbing can be heard behind the doors.

Touche!
We should rib Obamas nose in his Mythic Greek power.

[tapatio]

I just finished watching a segment on MSNBC. Howard Fineman was in a tizzy. He was saying Paul Ryan was lying about the time of the plant closing, and Obama had better expose him as a liar before it is too late.He was talking about him looking at the camera with his baby blues.

They are scared of Paul Ryan. I watched the whole thing, and loved it! LOL!

[MagUSNRET]

And meanwhile....somewhere out there, Hillary CLinton is laughing her fat arse off ;-)

[DAC21]

“Well, heck, Susan Sarandon is now dating a 33 year old....”

Umm me thinks a 33 year old is minding Sarandons retirement plan which she should be drawing from any day now.

“Romney has the trait of all successful leaders. Build a good team around you. The better Ryan does the better he looks.”

Thought it was odd how Ryan's wife has a baby face just like he does. They look like they aged from 13 to 40 overnight and skipped some steps in-between.

[GGpaX4DumpedTea]

Clint, likely...or a Reagan holograph...

[JediJones]

You can also bet that the finest, smartest, most successful businesspeeples in this country who are looking for a few years of new challenges will be flocking TO Mitt Romney with offers to serve and assist in his administration....

Or flocking to line up more bailouts for themselves.

If all college kids watched Ryan’s speech, many of the brain dead libs would become enlightened. He looks like he just walked off his college campus.

Notice how clearly he enunciated "Ohio" when speaking about his college days...and "Florida" when introducing his mom. Almost as if those states served some special purpose in the election...

[snarkytart]

lol

Blame Bush...just like Ryan said they would do, right?
The point is Obama went there and said he’d save the plant. He sid if you elect me I’ll save this plant.
Well he didn’t, and that’s all Ryan was pointing out.

“I very much liked the Greek Orthodox prayer.”

I have a friend who is a retired Greek Orthodox priest. We have had some good conversations together. He has two sons who are chiropractors. I see them occasionally. Very good people. They are local.

I have another couple who are friends in Florida, and he also is a retired Orthodox priest. More great people. We communicate frequently.

Ryan worked the Youths and the Elderly.

Yes that was an opportunity not to be missed ...clever, savvy and smart

[Newton]

Yes! After 4 yrs of their lies and smugness, it would be such payback!!! Madcow with her stupid smug holier than thou sneer - to see her lose it would be priceless! Andi think chrissies head actually would explode!

[MagUSNRET]

That too! But in all honesty, I think she and Bill will belaughing like a couple hyenas when that Muslim marxist gets hius arse kicked back into Chicago!

[GR_Jr.]

Great speech by Ryan. Very Reganesque. But......I still can't in good conscience vote for Romney anymore. His power grab yesterday sealed the deal. I will not vote for a controlling 0bama-like thug. Sorry, Just can't do it. Besides, Ryan would only be pushed to the back room in a Romney administration. He picked Ryan to get him out of congress.

[snarkytart]

Absolutely. The Clinton’s can’t stand Obama. Make no mistake.

[Newton]

I forgot about the trash can!
