The app has done its thing and it's official: Romney picks Ryan!
Yes, I'm happy. Paul Ryan is the guy who understands the urgency of putting the brakes on our national hurtle toward the fiscal cliff, and hence, is Obama's natural enemy. See Peter Ferrara's April '12 column, Why Obama Hates Paul Ryan and my post on same, Obama's tax agenda, in which I concluded:
Truth is, at best, incidental to the Obama campaign, and in most cases a frightening liability. With no record of accomplishments to run on, this is what he's got. Peter Ferrara makes the case that Paul Ryan is Obama's natural enemy. Romney would be wise to beg Ryan to join him on the ticket.But I didn't think Mitt had it in him. Husband and I expected him to go with Dull or Duller. What a wonderful surprise.

ReplyDeleteNot to be antagonistic, but Romney is much more intelligent than most folks think. Is he perfect? No. Intelligent? Yes.

I love love love this pick.
ReplyDeleteMe too, Mary Sue. However, Andrea Mitchell thinks he is NOT what "suburban moms" and women in general want. I'm always surprised when a woman thinks she speaks for all womenkind.She must live in rarified air, I guess.
DeleteRyan does have a lot of things going for him as far as REAL CONSERVATIVES are concerned, but I'll bet the Obama campaign is looking at him and sizing up how they're going to skewer him, like they did so successfully to Sarah Palin.
ReplyDeleteI pray for him and his family; that they won't come up with some kind of skeleton in his closet or strawman that takes him down.
What a bunch of bogus pickle smoke. You tightie-righties are as delusional as acid freak hippies. This Randian granny-starver will fall on his own, and sink the smug Republicans with him.
ReplyDeleteToo bad that Romney wasn't smarter than to pick his country club caddie for his boyfriend.
Go ahead and hold that thought goober, but come November you're going to whining and sniveling like the rest of the progressive nincompoops that are on the dystopian bus to totalitarianism.
