Romney picks Ryan as VP choice

[RATTdrools]

HORRIBLE choice. This will likely seal a 2nd term for Obama.

One Dem said Christmas came early! LOL

I don't know. Quayle didn't stop Bush from winning the first time and even though Palin was a joke, there was no way McCain was going to beat Obama.


The one thing the dems got going now is their ability to attack Ryan on a budget proposal that cut funding for health care.

The problem with Ryan is he doesn't expand the GOP base any and that's what they need! He just doubles down on the crazy right wing nuts in the GOP!

[brotherplanet]

I don't know enough about Ryan yet, but if you're right it just seems like more of the same more of the same more of the same.

I'm so sick of all of this shit... Obama doesn't deserve a second term and Romney doesn't deserve a first term.

Ryan is a good politician with real ideas who actually has a plan, like it or not. This is a bad pick for Romney though because of how his opponents will be able to distort his policy proposals. A Paul Ryan look alike will be throwing grandma over the cliff on a loop on tv from now until the election.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but the guy did look poised in his first speech. I realize we added five tril to the fifteen tril we're down, but to make it sound like it's all on Barack is ridiculous.

[Elvison8track]

I was gonna vote for Romney no matter who was chosen,Ryan seems like a good choice

[FullMetalWhackit]

HORRIBLE choice.

Who would have been a good choice?

Exactly.

[KneelandBobDylan]

HORRIBLE choice.

Who would have been a good choice?

There are no "good" republican choices, but Huntsman would have drawn more independants.

[RATTdrools]

HORRIBLE choice.

Who would have been a good choice?

GOP pollsters overwhelmingly wanted Rubio. Like over 60%! Help Mitt expand his base and get some of the beaner vote!

I don't even think Ryan was in the top 3! Obese lardass Chris Christie was up there and so was Condie.

The Huffington Post actually said late last night that Portman was Romney's choice for VP!

[Stoner]

The fact that Mittens has once again chosen to bend to the will of the crazy ass far right (Tea Party) is going to drive the undecided Dems, neo-cons, and Independents back to the left, which is exactly what they needed.

I actually feel sorry for a lot of my Republican friends and what their party has become.

You're not the only one! Even Jeb Bush and other Repukes have lamented the fact that the GOP has gone too far right!

A lot of neo-cons are a part of the crazy far right.

Great! A left wing lunatic lamenting about how Ryan is a horrible choice.

Yes, I think Rubio would have been the best pick politically. Having watched enough of Ryan today, I think he will only help the ticket, despite the ads that are forthcoming against him.

I saw a report yesterday pegging the Ryan pick. Something about Romneys jet being parked in Ryans hometown.

Saw that today as well. Impressive, articulate without coming off as adversarial/ hateful. The debates should be interesting. Seems as if they will be for grown ups. About policy and proposals. And less about who killed whos wife. Which will be good for America. We candle handle the conversation.

Actually Ryan does come across as pretty hateful. With all the intolerance in the GOP that's not what they need. That's why so many Dems like this pick!

Even obese Chris Christie would've been a better pick!

In theory, perhaps. This might draw the small handful of TPers that were going to vote for Johnson back into the republican tent but I think they would have ended up there anyway. What this choice DOES is gives the republican ticket somebody way more charismatic than Mitt.

But yeah. It really was Mitt caving in to the far far right. He didn't need to cement the loony vote, he already has it in pocket.

Is that a veiled Mitt Romney reference?

Right, which I don't believe he did if for no other reason than they cut out Obama's rebuttal. By the same token it does give one a clue as to how this guy is going to debate Bidden.

[Machado]

I saw their appearance on 60 minutes.
Talk about 2 swindlers that are doing all they can to fool
the American public
Beginning with how they each will only release 2 years of
tax records. B.S.
One of the 2 said if they are in the White House, the rich will pay
more taxes and the middle class will pay less taxes.
I guess these 2 have no shame with lying on National t.v.
Say whatever you can to get that vote Mitt.

[Constantine]

Even obese Chris Christie would've been a better pick!

A lot of american can identified with Chritie as 50% of them are obese, it would have been a logical choice.

Fat Power!!!

Nothing new here. Obama said he would close Gitmo. It's still alive and kicking. Obama spoke out against the Patriot Act then went ahead and extended it when he became President.

Neither side can afford to point fingers.

But both sides continue to point fingers.
That is the problem.
Same old crooks in the white house, just different names and faces.

Exactly! It still stuns me how anyone can pick a side nowadays, and anyone who is picking a side doesn't seem to realize they're just a pawn in this game.

[Supersonic]

He's inspired by and instructs interns to read Atlas Shrugged and sold stock immediately following a meeting with the senior banking fraternity just prior to the banking collapse. Perfect politician just like plenty others. /sarcasm off
