RYAN: NBC’s Alex Moe reports from California: “Congressman Paul Ryan (R-WI), a potential vice presidential pick for Mitt Romney, had harsh words for President Barack Obama Tuesday evening, but told the crowd the nation could get back on the right track with the 2012 election. ‘We face not just a failed president, but a failed ideology. We face a pessimistic mood in the nation's capital. A belief that our best days are over and the only thing left to do is to manage the nation's decline,’ Ryan told the nearly 1,000-person crowd at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. ‘But, we have the same opportunity today to reject this defeatist attitude and to embrace a positive reform agenda possible to kick start a new era of prosperity, an American renewal, a comeback.’”
Ryan, it’s worth noting, was a reliable vote for former President George W. Bush’s agenda -- Ryan voted for the Bush tax cuts, the Iraq war authorization, and the Medicare prescription-drug plan.

Needless to say Rubio is a worthless republican tool.
Rubio cannot even take care of his own finances. At 40 years old he still owes for student loans. This would not be surprising since most college graduates are stuck with paying for them for a very long time but this is a guy who earned $300k+ as a lawyer and now $170k+ as a Senator. Most Americans stuggle with loan payments while making $40k+.

Obviously you didn't even read the Article. At this point Mitt does not need Rubio. Please try to read below, is simple, and yes it is only a Poll, however you are against it blindly because it doesn't not favor Mr. President Obama.
Gov. Mitt Romney holds a 47 - 41 percent lead over President Barack Obama in Florida, where 63 percent of voters say the president's support of same-sex marriage will not affect their vote, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Another 25 - 11 percent of voters, including 23 - 9 percent among independent voters, say Obama's support of gay marriage makes them less likely to support his candidacy.
At least it's entertaining to see which VP hopeful can spew the most lies in one speech. The problem is that, repeated enough, some people start to believe them.
I believe the previous 2 posters are democrat shills...I believe the previous 2 posters are democrat shills...I believe the previous 2 posters are democrat shills...
oh hell, fagidaboudit, everyone KNOWS this already.
Thank you for finally pointing out that Ryan is far from a fiscal conservative.
Since he went to Washington he routinely voted for spending taxpayer money. It was only when Republicans lost both the House and the Presidency that Ryan decided we had to cut. Ryan regularly repeated Vice President Cheney's line that deficits do not matter.
Watch Ryan in interviews, it's like watching a cat with a canary in his mouth. He believes Americans do not see the feathers sticking out of his mouth. He talks about his religious faith, but routinely violates the Ten Commandments (thou shalt not lie).
I was taught only the devil violates the Ten Commandments for political gain. Look at Romney and Ryan. They both routinely flip flop and then lie about their past positions.
Now we are going to see all the potential GOP VPs rant not only about President Obama, but about each other.....repeat of the GOP primary...LOL!
Every Republican especially Mitt and his Surrogates keep Echoing the President. What ever President Obama says they repeat the sentences as if it was their original ideas. They project the President's observation of them on to themselves. It's halarious! Is anyone paying attention to these Ventrillquists? Talking about not havin your own thught process, can't think on their own and have nothing to offer the American People. This is the best made for TV Movie in history.
Marco Rubio is not a natural born citizen and therefore not eligible to be Vice President of the United States according to the 12th Amendment to the Constitution, which states:
"But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."
Neither of Marco Rubio's parents were citizens of the United States at the time of his birth. A natural born citizen is a person born to parents who are both citizens of the United States at birth. In fact, Rubio's parents did not want to stay in the US, but were loyal to Cuba and wanted to return. Rubio was born a Cuban citizen, as both of his parents were citizens of Cuba, not the United States, at the time of his birth.
The US Supreme Court ruled:
"The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners." Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162.
The common law nomenclature regarding "natural-born citizen" with which the framers of the Constitution were familiar is found in "The Law of Nations", published in 1758. The language in this source document is apparent in the decision of the US Supreme Court. The Law of Nations was in the possession of the framers of the Constitution and the first Congress. Its language is used in nearly all US federal law regarding citizenship in the US.
"The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights... The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent... in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country." Vattel, The Law of Nations, 1758.
