Romney to select Paul Ryan for VP slot

gaazn said:
It's over for Romney campaign. Zero enthusiasm for Paul Ryan. He doesn't appeal to the youth or the Tea Party people that Romney thinks he will get. Going the middle road to pick a Washington insider and career politician doesn't make Romney any more appealing to the independents that he needs. It's a fake bold pick. This flip flop from his posture against career politicians like Santorum and Obama just won't fly. This is looking like the very exciting team of Dole/Kemp. Surely everyone wanting to run in 2016 will be happy.

There won't be a country left by then.
 
Paul Ryan is a very disappointing choice, although to me any choice by Romney is a disappointing choice.
 
Paul Ryan/Ron Paul... anybody could make a mix-up like that. Do we vote for him anyway?
 
Romney did pick himself, just younger; another rich white guy and yet Fox is spinning his blue collar background

Rand doesn't have a blue collar background either but he doesn't claim to have one.

this could work in our favor in 2016, should Ryan seek the nomination

and no reverse mistakes; Liberty voters are smarter than that
 
Ryan was the best realistic choice. By that I mean obviously there were better options, but they weren't realistic. Rand or Ron were never going to be his VP choice. So it was Ryan, Rubio, Santo, Grinch, etc. out of the crappy options Ryan was the best. He's not pro liberty but he's better than the rest.
 
Paul Ryan's budget:

- It led to 10 more years of deficit spending
- It added between $5-11 TRILLION dollars to the national debt
- It spent a total of $40 TRILLION over the next 10 years
- His plan REQUIRED the debt ceiling to be raised
- It was an obviously unbalanced budget (in fact it doesn't fully balance until the year 2040)
- It increased spending over the next few years (it merely slows the rate of spending, not actually cutting spending anytime soon)
- It was was bigger than what we had under Bill Clinton

This is all the Obama re-election show. Why even watch this crap?

This is just a maneuver to give Paul Ryan some more credibility for the future. Like in 2016 when Obama can't run again.
