Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his vice presidential running mate Rep. Paul Ryan a welcome home rally Sunday, Aug. 12, in Waukesha, Wis.
WAUKESHA, Wis.-- The largest crowd of the campaign so far for a Mitt Romney event welcomed home favorite son Rep. Paul Ryan at a massive rally here in the congressman's district Sunday night, pushing the GOP's vice presidential nominee to tears as he took the stage, setting off cheers with two simple words:
"Hi mom."
With that, voice cracking, Ryan showed his Wisconsin credentials to a crowd the Romney campaign hopes will be emblematic of the charismatic congressman's support in the Badger state, a reliably Democratic enclave the Republican candidate hopes to turn red this fall.
"My veins run with cheese, bratwurst, a little Spotted Cow, Leinie's, and some Miller," Ryan said, mentioning two well-known local beers. "I was raised on the Packers, Badgers, Bucks and Brewers. I like to hunt here, I like to fish here, I like to snowmobile here. I even think ice fishing is interesting."
"I'm a Wisconsinite through and through," Ryan said to cheers from a crowd which contained many members of Ryan's extended family, and which the campaign estimated to be more than ten thousand strong, likely the largest turnout ever for a Romney event.
The energy generated by Ryan seemed to inspire the man at the top of ticket, who took on a heckler midway through his own remarks, then turned the moment into an indictment of President Obama's campaign, who's tactics have riled Romney in recent weeks.
Obama gives Ryan a double-edged welcome to the race
"You see young man, this group here is respectful of other people’s rights to be heard," Romney said as the heckler was removed. "And you ought to find yourself a different place to be disruptive, because here we believe in listening to people with dignity and respect."
"There’s no question but if you follow the campaign of Barack Obama, he’s going to do everything in his power to make this the lowest, meanest negative campaign in history. We’re not going to let that happen," Romney continued. "This is going to be a campaign about ideas about the future of America. This is a campaign about greatness, about America’s future for your children, for the world. Mr. President take you campaign out of the gutter, let’s talk about the real issues that America faces."
Romney and Ryan were introduced by two other leading figures in the Republican party nationally, both born and raised here in Wisconsin: RNC Chairman Reince Preibus and Governor Scott Walker, who recently survived a recall election and has become a rallying point for Republicans nationwide.

Wow! Last night some dork said everybody in his district hated him. Overnight change? Or were we lied to by a liberal...........again?
"Our rights come from Nature & God, NOT government!" - Go Ryan!
Romney/Ryan 2012!
This is Romney's Palin moment. His campaign has gone into meltdown mode.
Wrong, they come from the Constitution not God or nature.
Geowil-Declaration's first line says they come from God, that being the Creator
WOW!
I actually feel sorry for someone like you. How can you live with a free spirit inside of yourself if you are waiting for the likes of Obama and John Roberts to "grant" them to you?
Good thing our Founding Fathers didn't wait for a king to "make their rights constitutional" and even better that this country wasn't founded by spineless liberals!
How sad....Like sheep waiting to be led & fed.
Where's the fire in your belly liberal?!?!
Saschel, I was going to call you Satch, but you're probably too young to remember the Bowery Boys.
Dream on. The ediscussion is now going to turn to real issues like jobs, and the economy, and freedoms that your wannnabe dictator wants us to relinquish. And whether obama has enough to keep on going.
One day of obama was one too many and one term is way too much. Keep our America. Nobama 2012
I hate the Packers. I like the Bears!
Palin was mishandled by the McCain insiders - deliberately. Palin also had not experienced the National media, Ryan has - big difference.
I'm a Steeler fan, and respect the Packers accomplishments.
Paul Ryan is a fraud. He voted for 2 unpaid wars, two Bush taxcuts that caused the deficit to soar, a medicare drug program not paid for, TARP, the autobailout....can I say more? He is an absolute huckster and certainly not a deficit hawk - along with his Ayn Rand atheistic worshipping beliefs. There could have not been a greater pick for the DEMS and Obama. Thanks!!
The kids of America are rejoicing! Don't let them down voters!
Romney / Ryan 2012!!!!
I think this is an awesome move!
Congratulations to Mr. Ryan. Hope he will be able to get that pesky debt down. Obama and Biden will clean these guys clocks come every debate. And not because they are better debaters. But because they speak to the middle classes needs.
Ryan authored a long-term plan to keep our entitlement programs sustainable for our grandchildren and their children without bankrupting our country in the process. This election is simple. If you are selfish and only care about yourself and your generation, you should vote for Obama. IF you care about your descendants and future generations, then vote Romney/Ryan.
Okay let me lay it down real easy for the weak minded.....Obama has a plan. His plan is to tax the rich with new income taxes. To tax the middle class with Obamacare, and do nothing about spending except cut defense spending (while the world is set for an apocalypse.
Romney and Ryan. Have a plan to save medicare and Social Security so the young have a chance to collect what they paid in. It changes the broken program that will not exist past 2019.
So the choice is NO PLAN, or a CHANGE that is real??????? SMH. seems easy RIGHT?
I watched a old C-Span tape of Ryan's presentation to Obama /Biden of why the Unaffordable Care Act is truly unaffordable.
This guy is no empty suit. We are either serious about fixing our spending problems or we are not. If you are vote Romney/Ryan.....if not...
Barrack Obama...FAILED LEADERSHIP
Romney/Ryan.......the real deal!! These guys know how to get our country going again and will do so!! obumbo is a dismal failure with no accomplishments and has nearly ruined this great country with his socialist agenda and his cabinet of tax cheats and anti American czars.
"Massive rally?"
I wonder if their description of the November voter turnout will look like their gregarious view of mediocrity?
It seems that the definition of "massive" has taken on a new more meaningful conservative determination.
No, Dev,
Ryan's plan is to END MEDICARE AND SOCIAL SECURITY. If you are under 56 years old, you will be screwed.
These guys are LIARS who will cut taxes for the rich and destroy the things that have protected our retired citizens.
What insurance company do you think will insure you when you turn 65 and Medicare is no longer there? Because with Romney's plan, health insurance companies will once again be able to do whatever the hell they want- throw people off their rolls, cancel your policy when you are sick and god help you if you have ANY pre-existing condition- THEY WILL NOT INSURE YOU.
Once again, a hundred thousand Americans each and every year will go BANKRUPT because they got sick. Don't think it won't be you. All it takes is ONE ACCIDENT. Oh, you might get Medicaid- after you give up all of your life savings.
I think your mistake was in thinking literally "everyone" in his district hate him. He's not popular, but of course he's not 100% unfavorable.
While he has been reelected by comfortable margins, his approval rating statewide remains mixed: 38% of Wisconsin voters view him favorably while 33% do not, making it unclear whether Ryan can deliver the state for Romney."

Ryan plan, kills Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, cuts Veterans benefits, cuts food Stamps to the starving children and families who lost their jobs because of Bush and repubs crashing the surplus and economy. Romney plan, raises taxes on the middle class and poor to give more tax breaks to the rich like Romney. Repubs just blocked the bill to end tax breaks for jobs that corporations are taking over seas, repubs block same bill that gives tax breaks to companies that would bring jobs back to America. Repubs want to privatize the Post Office for the greedy rich, which would end delivery and service to thousands of small towns. Repubs create voter suppression laws to prevent the elderly \, poor, and young from voting. Repubs and Rove say if they can remove 1% of voters in 9 states they can rig election to win. Repubs for a worse tomorrow today!
Vote President Obama / Biden and Team america 2012
First the republicans were going to kill social security and medicare and now you want us to believe they want to save it. That is until they are elected, just another con to buy voters.
This is like the jobs they promised in 2010 the ones that never happened. But a lot of voter suppression and the killing of women's rights and vaginal probes happened but no jobs.
So now we are suppose to believe the republicans new promises after they couldn't keep the last ones.
By the way Romney already ran on jobs and couldn't produce them that time either when governor.
Most of all mitt the twit isn't man enough to produce his tax returns.
Romney called the Ryan budget marvelous, said he would sign it if president but now it is a bit too detailed and wants to distance himself from it. Typical Mitt has to be on both sides of every issue or he doesn't feel at home.
What a joke that this is the man you republicans can look at us with a straight face and call him a leader.
Sara..
Ignore the financial facts of Medicare and Social Security and it will still end as we know it
Do you understand the word BROKE?
See Harrisburg, Stockton Jefferson County etc
TYLER AND OR SALLY:
It is long past time to wake up and do your job. Continuously allowing the conversation to be collapsed because you disagree is reminiscent of democrats in the house and senate.
Oh, I forgot, this is a democrat site
We need Romney/Ryan 2012...our children can then have faith in their future (sigh of relief).
Focus on America!
1) Ayn Rand. She is more important to Paul Ryan than the Pope.
2) Mitch McConnell. Rush Limbaugh laid down the gauntlet, Obama must fail. McConnell decided to show Obama no respect, starve government progress and the American people will blame Obama for not being effective. His devious plan is working surprisingly better than Democrats thought it could.
3) Suppress Democratic leaning voters to measure up, regardless. Done!
gridlock, sounds like a good name for you. You know, with your mind being in a state of gridlock and all. You sound like the typical liberal, spewing the same BS that's been constantly spewed by Democrats.
Romney/Ryan 2012!!!
Michael,
I am a Centrist, not a Liberal, and I am also an Atheist so God does not apply to me. If God gives us our rights then those who have no god do not have rights. Does that sound correct to you? No to me.
The only thing that gives us rights in this country is the Constitution and it is not based off of any religious ideology but, instead, philosophical ones. Philosophy does not wear rose-tinted glasses like religions do. This is why things like the Constitution apply to everyone equally when those people obtain the right to claim those rights.
In a religion, what has been said stays that way until end end of that religion or it is changed by the worries of old men in skirts. The Constitution also changes, but in response to stimuli from society. In a way you could say the Constitution evolves as time goes on.
Originally the Constitution only applied to White males in its entirety. As time went on Blacks and Women became able to claim all of the rights granted to them by the Constitution. As did other races and minorities. The next evolution of the Constitution is going to see Homosexuals getting all of their civil rights.
Religions do not evolve in this manner. They evolve to suit themselves and not the whole of society. For example the Pope wants more to be done to deal with the Homosexual problem. He tells the Vatican to tell their Nuns to start spread the word that Homosexuals are deviants who go against God's commandment. The Nuns, who are doing Jesus' work, say wait a second, we already are doing the work we are supposed to and now you want us to stop and do something that was not among Jesus' teachings? The Vatican replies, paraphrased, just do as we tell you to.
Religions do not change in anyway that is meaningful. If they did they would not be able to be so grossly misused by the likes of the Taliban, the West-Borough Baptist Church, and all of the other abortion/Homosexual/other religion hate groups.
The reason we see the word "God" everywhere in our Government is because religion was a much larger part of their everyday lives back then. These days religion is a dying horse, people are learning more each year that organized religion is nothing but a scam and that it is not needed to bleieve in God. Many each year either choose to go Agnostic or Atheist, at the very least the no longer attend church weekly. Congregations have been shrinking each and every year.
God is just a word, there is no power behind it. It is a descriptive word used to describe a being that may or may not exist but whom has never been seen, ever, not in any credible way at least (for the record near death experiences are not reliable, what ever people see as they die is just their brain releasing various chemicals that induce hallucinations as they shut down).
This country was built on the Constitution not on God. But when you have traitors like Dick Cheney calling it a piece of paper to be stepped on at your slightest inconvenience, it is not surprising to me that the Modern GOP has no more faith in it.
I have more faith in the Constitution then I do in a being that may or may not exist. The Constitution is real, you can go and look at it. It is not subject to rumors, speculation, or other unprovable suppositions. God is the opposite, he/she can be changed at the will of the Pope. If he so chose to he could reinstate the Old Testament as the proper scriptures to be living your life by. If God cannot speak for himself then why should I believe that some old codger knows what God's will is? I am supposed to believe that the Pope can talk to God but no one else can? Does the Pope of antennas in his Miter? Maybe that would explain the funny shape.
No, I do not put trust i something that has no voice and that cannot be proven to exist. I do not trust blindly in things like that because that is how you are deceived by others who prey on people who do.
But yeah, sit behind your screen and fire off crap like you have been. I bet you would not have the balls to do it face to face with someone. That s one of the problems of the Internet, anonymity makes people feel that their ego's are bigger than they really are; it is also known as an e-penis.
Michael1969 is a well known gernade troll who has been exposed before telling untruths (he's a liar)
When people say that rights come from God, generally they mean that they are "inalienable" as it says in the Declaration of Independence. What they are saying is that individual rights are part of the package that comes with being human. No matter how hard Barrack Obama may try, he cannot take my rights away. No matter what laws are passed to abrogate my rights, I will still have them and will fight for them. I will kill anybody who tries to destroy the rights of the American people. Individual rights exist because free men cling to them. Individual rights are destroyed by governments, not provided by them.
Romney/Ryan failed before they even started. Can you say fake? Cause that's what they are.
Obama 2012 Real Leadership.
expat,
Perhaps you should clarify your position as it pertains to "[killing] anybody who tries to destroy the rights of the American people."
I'm well aware of the meaning of the word "kill," but can you explain precisely what you mean by the word "destroy"?
Are you daring to suggest that a constitutionally empowered and democratically elected representative government hasn't the right to pass legislation which might be perceived by YOU as a threat to YOUR civil liberties? That YOU somehow possess an inalienable right to take the law into YOUR own hands simply out of a belief that YOUR particular freedoms are under assault?
Where and when in the heck are YOU living? Mississippi, 1963?
If you DO believe these things, sir, YOU and NOT THE GOVERNMENT become the threat to our shared civil liberties, YOU become the danger, and YOU become the one with the target on your back.
No domestic terrorist and cold-blooded murderer like James Earl Ray, Timothy McVeigh or Scott Roeder shall EVER be allowed to dictate the definition of freedom for myself or any thinking American.
Tone down your rhetoric, expat, before this government of the people, by the people, and for the people has to take the necessary precautions to protect the people from the likes of you.
All Tea Addicts Unite.
All Tea Potty aDICKts Unite.
Tsk, now we get to view petty children time? Poopoo butthead? Nanny nanny poo poo?
Mitt the Vulture has not paid taxes, in addition to other tax-evading vultures, that's why there is not enough going into Medicare and social security, then Ryan proposes to end Welfare as we know it, blaming LBJ and good-hearted Democrats who initiated it.
This is typical Republican tactic of 'starving the beast'
There appears to be quite a few intellectual midgets on this thread who are laboring under the delusion that Romney will benefit from having Ryan as his sidekick. Not that Mitt had a chance in hell of winning in the first place, but with Ryan hanging around his neck like an anchor ol' Etch-A-Sketch will collapse even more quickly than he has been. Ryan is running off senior voters just as the GOP has alienated women, union workers, Latinos, African-Americans, gays and lesbians, and moderates. Romney's utterly failed efforts will be taught in poli sci classes in universities across the country for years to come as an example of how not to run a campaign.
President Obama by default in November! America is holding an election and the Republican Party is not planning on showing up!
Obama is a war criminal and he should be impeached.
Obama has:
Signed the NDAA bill into law allowing the assassination of any us citizen without trial (yes, I know it's been around for a long time but Obama signed it into law even though it's unconstitutional)
Allowed 30,000 Spy drones to be flown over American skies (Unconstitutional, Against the Fourth Amendment).
Obama has signed over 1000 Executive Orders since he took office (Thanks to that, it's now illegal to collect rain water)
Obama has killed hundreds of innocent people (including 3 Americans) with drone strikes he has ordered in Pakistan And Yemen.
Obama has raised the National debt Nearly $5 TRILLION.
Obama has allowed almost 1 Million ILLEGAL aliens to become legal citizens (thanks to those he allowed to become citizens, they have committed 19 murders and 142 sex crimes)
Lied About all of His 2008 Campaign Promises Including the One Where He said he campaigned in 57 states.
Google Search "Dreams from my REAL father" and you'll see, Obama's father was a failed communist who's dream was to DESTROY America, at age 18, Obama went to a MARXIST school.
Mitt Romney has or will:
Has made Millions in an Abortion Business.
Will sell jobs over seas.
Will go to war with any Country he wants to without Congressional Approval (he says).
Both the Republican party and Democratic party are really the same thing now.
You know who we need for President? Gary Johnson, he is the Libertarian Presidential Canidate, he wants to End the IRS, End the Fed, End useless Government Agencies likes the Department of Homeland Security. He is Against wars. You are probably thinking "Why vote for him? He has no chance.", he has polled in Nearly %10 and needs %15 to Delegate Obama.
The 2012 votes are being counted in an Offshore Company own by George Soros in Spain (Which is TREASON!).
So, what part of 'nature' has you stuck?
Great pick by Romney ! If Romney/Ryan win, we WILL have a budget !
That is a whole lot better than the "captain Obama of a ship with no rudder" .... no direction, no budget, no plan, and absolutely NO CLUE for the future !!!
In mid August - 80+ days out from the election - a HOME TOWN crowd drew 10K?
and we're supposed to be impressed by that?
pssst. In January 2008, during the PRIMARY - I attended an Obama Rally with over 16K.
If you righties are THIS excited over these numbers,...I just have to giggle. MASSIVE? The only thing MASSIVE is the laugh it's generating!
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!
Well said geowil... well said.
Sorry, I'm confused; what exactly is Romney's "tax issue"? I didn't know that his trip to France as a youth was a draft dodging tactic, rather than an intregral part of his religion. And where is it stated in Mr. Romney's plans to take away Social Security and Medicare (which are both running out of funds thanks to the last 30 years of mismanagement by our government) and to give trillions to the wealthy? I must have missed all of that. Then again, I don't listen to the msm and believe every word. Please provide source where I can find this information. Thank you and have a nice day.
if you served in the military and have applied for any benefits due to that service .. the Ryan plan will eliminate most of those benefits ..and if you get help with medical bills your benefits will be cut and eventually eliminated .. veterans will take a big hit
Cheeseheads unite!
michael,
You are from MN.
But you are cheesehead???
i know you will vote for Romeny after Bachmann and Perry left the race for your party nomination.
Do you also love the Packers?
Cheeseheads are any Packer's fans, even if it they are a fan for just a day!
Yes!!!
"You see young man, this group here is respectful of other people’s rights to be heard," Romney said as the heckler was removed. "And you ought to find yourself a different place to be disruptive, because here we believe in listening to people with dignity and respect."
Unlike at the State of Union Address, when a republicon lawmaker can shout "You Lie" at the President and be roundly applauded by other republcons.
Republicon hypocrisy is bottomless.
what?....because he called him out on his lie? give me a break! and while were're at it, jsut what exactly has this President done in the past 3 1/2 years to better this country , our economy, our unemployment? Name me one thing besides improve his golf handicap that he has accomplished!
Puh-lease.....................hey, the truth is the truth even when it hurts. obumbo is not only a failure, he IS a liar and a fraud.
Scott, quiet down son, or come to Billings and we'll have our own debate. Spare us the hypocrisy while you're at it. President Obama has accomplished plenty in 3.5 years despite record filibusters and republican obstruction.
Polls show President Obama ahead in polls over Romney by 9 points!!!!!!!!!!
he is worse then Jimmy Carter....
this is a puppet president, controled by his cronies..
The best crowd money can buy...Romney bought his blacks and paid for them to show up at the NAACP meeting a month agao. Romneys advisors gave the list to Naacp to get them in. BUYING HIS OWN PEOPLE. What is that called again????
We need Romney/Ryan 2012...our children can then have faith in their future (sigh of relief).
Focus on America!
USA1967:
As are the recent repub submitters. A bunch of losers who can't remember how the repubs tried to destroy our country and are trying to do it again.
OK, you got us, ONE Republican is disrespectful and now we're ALL hypocrites! Puh-Lease! Here in Wisconsin, State Repubs had to be escorted by police to their offices due to death threats! A local Female talk show host is routinely called the C word by protesters. Get out of your mom's basement for a few minutes and watch all the harassment of Republicans before you spout off, your ignorance is blatant!
The Occupy Protesters or the Democratic Party?
and so exactly has he accomplished djrashn? None that have commented have stated one thing he has actually accomplished.....you berate, you belittle, but have yet to come up wiht one thing he has done for our betterment......
Star
The Poll you quote was a Fox paid for poll done by a little known Democrat Polling company that used 44% Democrats (even in the depression democrats did not exceed 40% registered democrats in a turnout) and 35% Republicans.
Nationwide, in 2008 Obama won under the strength of a 6 point Democrat advantage in turnout. In 2010, the Democrats lost the house and barely escaped with a small majority in the senate when only a 3 point turnout advantage. Obama's popularity is now lower than even 2010 and you want me to accept a democrat stuffed poll result.
The only way Obama can get a 9 point advantage in turnout is if he stuffs the ballot box with illegals and dead people!
Michael, you misspelled d*ckheads.
10000 ?
And this is quote "massive" ???
LOL !!
The headline is a joke.
Obama pulls 10 times this number on a regular basis.
.
Just saw the amazing closing London Oympic Ceremonies.
And that Mitt Romney, is how you do it.
And I'm sure London did it without Destroying and Erasing all their Olympic Computer discs.
or Hiding their Olympic profits in Hidden Swiss Bank accounts. WTF?
or Laundering their Olympic profits thru phony Cayman Island slush-funds. WTF?
or taking the wife's Million dollar Olympic Show Horse off on their Taxes by calling it a "Therapy Horse". WTF
or "Retiring Retro-Actively" as CEO from Bain Capital to Avoid Criminal Felon Charges. WTF times E=MC2 times Infinity plus One. Let you or me try to "Retire Retro-Actively" from anything, to Avoid Criminal Felony charges, and see how far we get.
ect. ect. ad naseum.
No Mitt Romney, London and England got it Right.
You got it wrong!
You were an Embarrassment and a Moral Failure overseas.
You're a small-petty man.
Thank God President Obama will be our President again for another Four (yes!4) more years!
What a sad comment about the intelligence of the voters of my state! I wonder if they know Paul supports gay and lesbian rights rather than what they have been fed by FOX.
maybe America deserves another bush like administration, maybe some people just need their pain. Maybe when the republicans have sucked every last drop of blood from our children's souls these trolls will rejoice.
Right on, US '76. He gets every welfare recepient, food stamper, and illegal. What a crowd!
DB Akron,
If taht is what you say I will do just that to save America from the rich and greedy republican new Nazi Party!
I R Man, Too bad the protesters didn't have conceal and carry then!
George,
You brought up an interesting idea, one that I have toyed with. Some part of me wants to see Romney get elected and see if he completely fails and the country does go down the drain and then come back on NV and see what these RWNJ posters have to say then.
On the other hand that would be bad for everyone and I cannot justify putting a personal wish ahead of what is best for the country. Yet on the third hand if it does happen perhaps the GOP will be destroyed and from it's smouldering ashes the Republican party of the 90's will be reborn and the Tea Party will kick the can. On the forth hand the results may be so disastrous there is no recovering from them.
It is all a game of inches but an inch or two the wrong way could be really bad even for those that think it will be good for them.
I seem to remember massive rallies when McPain picked Pathetic Palin as well and they lost that election just like they are going to lose this!
starsailer-- Basic statistics require that any national poll should have at least 1500 people polled at random. Any poll with fewer people than that can not be taken seriously. On Real Clear Politics that reports on all the major polls, there are only two polls with more than the 1500 and they have the race tied or with Romney slightly ahead. Time to wake up.
From my understanding, if you are middle or lower class and you vote for Romney/Ryan then you might as well shoot yourself in the foot. Amounts to the same thing.
In the photo, the folks cheering for Ryan do not appear to be 1%ers. Probably, these people are struggling middle-class folks. They lack a positive vision for this country.
Unbelievable.
Where are Ryan's tears for the millions of Americans whose Medicare and Medicaid he will destroy?
What about all the "other moms" who because of inadequate "Medicare vouchers" will suffer and die?
Ryan's above reaction is deception at work.
He is attempting to make himself appear to be middle class.
If Romney's above statement was true, the GOP would not force the middle class and the poor to "carry the financial load" for the rich.
Romney and Ryan will usher in the failed and stale policies of the right.
The choice of whom to vote for on November 6, 2012 is clear:
A Straight Democratic Ticket!
Obama/Biden 2012!
Vote a straight democratic ticket if you want to bankrupt the nation. How many democrat run cities are now bankrupt? California, that bastion of liberality and democrats is bankrupt and giving out IOU's. Hey, lets vote for failure, vote democrat.
Vote a straight Republican ticket if you like seeing losers and thieves run your country into the ground! Vote for GOP candidates if you want to see tax breaks given to the rich for which you could not qualify in you wildest dreams! Vote for teabaggers if you want the same fiscal and economic policies enacted that led to the current recession! In other words, if you have an IQ of 40 or less, feel free to vote for Romney/Ryan...the rest of the country will be reelecting President Obama.
How could any intelligent person vote to raise taxes on the middle class and give tax breaks to the really rich? Voting for a Republican ticket is like claiming you have masochistic tendencies.
Souptwins,
Have you looked at realclearpolitics any time in the last 2 months? Obama is ahead by 5% right now nationally, and electorally 40pts ahead. Seriously, if you use a source be correct about it.
You are not seriously going to think that anyone believes you. Even your precious Fox news reported that President Obama has a lead. So not sure what poles your going by because they are not based on any reality.
Sailcat, Great post!
The GOP and its absurd "Trickle/Down, Supply-Side economics" have robbed this nation blind! The wealthy have been given huge tax breaks. What have these elites done with their government largesse? Wall Street scammed all of America, the Big Banks sunk home owners with toxic mortgages, the Big Banks grabbed the homeowners' properties, the corporate fat cats outsourced our jobs to China, India and Pakistan and the elites were given our treasury. With the exception of the Clinton years, since Reagan became president, we have been running deficits.
The debt that Obama is struggling with was "an unenviable gift" from the right.
My Girl, blindly following the Republicans will not save this country.
Then vote for Romney & Ryan, America's choice for failure!
Romney has picked a better candidate than he is so are we voting for ryan or Romney to run the gov.
25walker,
They are from Brookfield and Waukesha so they are 1%. Blind rich greedy folk from the western suburbs of Milwaukee. Not the blue collar type that have to work and don;'t have tax loopholes they can use.
(25 walker) you have a name thatt makes me want o puke coming from Wisconsin!
Remember the huge crowds for Sarah Pathetic last election? It shows how gullible the right wing nut case New Nazi Party republicans can be! with this new aristocracy of wealth the republicans want to create the rest of us should start making guillotines.
Obama was in Chicago yesterday spewing in a half empty venue. Seems the luster and excitement of Obama is wearing thin. We know the liberals will turn out for Obama, but will those independents that pushed him over the top in the last election? When Obama can't even fill a venue in his home state that is not an encouraging sign. The real campaign season has yet to begin, and when it does hype and blame will not be a winning slogan. Anymore then the Medicare issue, since Obama has cut the program by 700 billion and done nothing to save it. Romney and Ryan will be ready for the traditional Obama scare tactics.
mygirl, Thank you for your advice I planned to vote straight democratic since I left the republican party years ago when it moved to the extreme right!
clwyd,
From the "neck of the woods" often seen, the 1% tends to look more ostentatious. Being a Wisconsinite, you should know, though. Let's hope that too many in the 99% do not allow themselves to be duped by the GOP's evasive nonsense and the party's regressive political, economic and social agendas.
...more than understandable, Clywd.
How Wisconsinites tolerate Walker is a mystery. He might get nabbed in the investigations that are looking into his questionable dealings...he is among the worst in the GOP. Too bad the recall failed!
It's so entertaining and comical to watch Mutt Head act like Mr. I want to kill Medicare can save his sorry a$$. What a buffoon. In my lifetime Mutt Head is the most pathetic candidate I have ever seen.
Well, answer the question, how many bankrupt democrat run cities are there?
25 walker,
I sure hope you are right about the investigation that has been delayed and delayed. Something is going on and I think it is buy off time for wacko walker!
"Obama was in Chicago yesterday spewing in a half empty venue."
What's your source for that -- Fox
Clwyd,
Agreed.
Delayed? How strange....
It's easy. They have no souls.
Obama was in Chicago yesterday spewing in a Obama was in Chicago yesterday spewing in a half empty venue..
And if Romney's elected and succeeds? What then?
uaw,
it is the same as with Bush II. Romney would be the figure head and Ryan would be the brains behind him telling Romney what to say. If they win that is.
social,
then I will humbly eat the pie I have sown. If he is elected and succeeds then that will be good for the nation. The telling tale will be the non-critical issues though. To me the ends do not justify the means. If there is too much collateral damage done to get the economy back in gear under Romney's plan it will minimize the efforts to fix things.
Obama can do the same given enough time and support from both sides and the same "but if" clause applies there.
Are these right wingers really serious when they ask what PRESIDENT Obama has done for this Country?
What is the saying?
GM is alive and Osama Bin Laden is dead!
Folks I know it is hard to see through the fog of bigotry, but come on lets try and be honest! Remember who handed the @!$%# plate of an economy to Obama! The economy bottomed out in 2007, who was in charge then?
"The largest crowd of the campaign so far for a Mitt Romney event welcomed home favorite son Rep. Paul Ryan at a massive rally here in the congressman's district Sunday night"
Too f'n funny. The VP pick pulled a larger crowd at home than Robme has ANYWHERE. What does that tell you about belief in Robme? LOL
The campaign shot itself in the foot. It's their Sarah Palin moment.
They had 11,000 earlier today in Virginia. They event was only planned for less than 4000.
Note. Rep Ryan has been a conservative elected 7 times to the House of representatives in a heavily democratic district.
You mean Obamarobme? It's ok, you will be just fine when your entitlements are taken away. Hell, you may finally grow up and get a job.
mikehunt36...
I don't need a job. I retired a wealthy Dem at 52.
Sorry about your damn luck. LOL
I'm thinking the people of his district are cheering him--hoping that he'll leave forever. They call it Greyhound therapy, after all. No doubt some kindly lobbyist will hire the poor dear man after his defeat in November.
Say, I wonder what Ryan thinks of Romney's involvement in Stericycle?
I don't know whats worse, you being A Demwhit, or a 52 year old that replies with an LOL. I bet you use K instead of ok.
Sorry mike, it's just hard not to laugh at people that vote against their own self interests.
Yea, if you cannot get a crowd in your own backyard, then what are you? Not impressed. As a congressman who passed a paultry 2 bills in 2 years (one naming a post office and the other about bows and arrows), the DEMS are not sweating this. Just another desperate Palinesque pick only he has a few more marbles than she had.
You strike me as a Stuart Smalley. "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it people like me.
OneOfTheSane its just hard not to laugh at people that vote against their own self interests.
The best part is they have no clue to what they are doing. If you make less than 250k and you vote republican your not doing yourself any favors.
Understand Obama's crowds are very small -- what does that say about the level of enthusiasm for him to continue to destroy the US economy? Let's start chipping away at ~$16T debt. Won't have credibility in the world economy until we show we're serious about cutting our debt.
Once again, liberals bring the class warfare to the table. So, lets get this straight, if you are white and vote against Obama, you are a racist. And if you make less than 250k, and still vote against Obama, you have no clue. Wow, please Big Government help me decide how to vote. I clearly cannot think for myself and unknowingly don't know whats best for me. I guess I should listen to Smitty and one of the sane.
CME yes Obama's crowds are smaller than in 2008. Don't worry, because of the importance of the image, they will find a way to make the numbers bigger.
OneOfTheSame..........................you are full of obamaloney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously? That's all you got?
mikehunt36 Please keep posting. Your posts speak for themselves. I need not say anymore. Just remember you said "I clearly cannot think for myself and unknowingly don't know what's best for me." Typical republican. Need I say more.
you have been watching to much CNN,MSNBC, inbetween commercials the view...
the media has done nothing but paint the worst picture it can...
and here is the funny, a lot of people see and are just disgusted with what the media has turned into...
polls,smolls, no one is calling me to ask my opinion, Its a calculated scam to keep the mindless in control...
see ya in November
Has the size of these crowds been verified by anyone outside of the Romney campaign? Repubs are known for inflated crowd numbers.
Yeah, like at that Million Man March!
Repubs are known for inflated crowd numbers.
Ditto for the Democrats.
republicans hate America for it's freedom
oneofthesame................that's all I need. Don't worry, your food stamps will be there soon!!
Once again you prove your ignorance. Just admit you are a FUX fool and I'll pay off your trailer.
It's called integrity. voting for your so-called 'own self interest' means you feel you are entitled to taking the hard-earned money of another person. Republicans believe in being able to keep what you earn. If you want more... go out and EARN IT YOURSELF.
Laura...
If you are going to post, at least read the posts above you, comprehend them and don't conjoin something I said with something Smitty said.
Fail.
republicans...party of no...and I got mine and yours....
Mike, I would have got back to you quicker but I was watching Breaking Bad, grilling filet mignon and sipping Crown Royal. Hope you enjoyed your Big Mac in the mean time. Romney has even more treats at Chick-Fil-A waiting for you.
GOP - The party of Know
Dems - the party of WTF
Oh, my, now we have the internet version of my d*ck is bigger than yours. Grilling filet mignon? How blase, filet mignon is so passe. Next, will you be bringing your 'supermodel' girlfriend over in your Ferrari so we can all meet her? Crown Royal? Damn son, you are a closet republican, shouldn't you be tokin something illegal?
My Girl LOL
Filet is so 1980's and crown royal is just cheap 3 year old rot gut. Nothing to brag about there
Guess he is shorter than he thinks
mygirl and JWolff...
Sorry you can't afford the good stuff. Filet mignon will NEVER be passe and Crown Royal is smoother than a baby's butt.
God, I love retards. Another chance to smile the poor rank and file Repukes who think a Whopper and large Pepsi is the big time. LOL
Crown Royal is 3 year old Canadian whisky, while I don't have a problem with Canadian at least I can drink Canadian club 20 year old. Or 20 yr old Pappy van winkle bourbon. But with crown only 28.00 a bottle I guess you drink what you can afford as CC20 is 150 per bottle and pappy is 100.
I drank crown before I was old enough to have a job
Look those up before you look any more stupid about whisky
I wont even go into steak choices and why filet is a female steak
I don't know where you come from, pinhead, but Canadian Club is half the price of CR and CR is mixed from many whiskeys, most of which are at least 30 years old.
Seems you know as much about Canadian whiskey as you do politics... in other words... nothing.
And steak? Filet mignon melts in your mouth.
The last thing that melted in your mouth was... nevermind.
read the freakin bottle crown royal is only 3 years old. cc is 8 10, 12 year old in normal stuff
They also make the 20 which I drink and the 30 the 20 is 149.00 per bottle and the 30 is 299.
I know as a liberal you dont understand anything unless some other lib told you to but surely you can read the bottle, hell I am looking at 1 now of crown and it is 3 years old
stick to the cheap stuff skippy the good stuff is way to good for you, your simple mind would never appreciate it.
LMAO. Google is your friend.
Sanity is obviously not so good a friend to you.
glad you found someone to read you the bottle.
Mike got a new computer wow he made up a new name another GOP genius
Michael Dreher says, "Yea, if you cannot get a crowd in your own backyard, then what are you?"
Good question but it should have been targeted toward the Democrats. Since Obama was in his home state yesterday spewing to a half empty venue in Chicago. Where is all the excitement for hype and blame and MediScare?
So, you are a methamphetamine addict that drinks cheap whiskey and thinks a select filet Mignon is top grade. Your attempt to impress everyone was a complete fail. While you are spending like a typical liberal, I am conserving my money into savings. That way, I don't have to rely on the Government.
Why thank you. Maybe it's time for you a new computer that will assist you in punctuation.
Sarcasm, is "a sharp, bitter, or cutting expression or remark; a bitter jibe or taunt". OMG, you really got me Shi##y, i mean Smitty.
mikehunt36 your the pride of the republican party. Your attacks are meaningless. LMAO.
I cannot think of anything Ryan has ever offered that truly benefits the people of this country. Everything he wants to do benefits the wealthy, WAll Street/Health Insurance companies while he lives the high life on our taxpayer dollers. He gets Cadillac health insurance. We need to cut the benefits of these politicians who have made a life of living off the government. If Ryan wants smaller government he should step up to the plate and be a good example instead of a parasite working for the rich.
HIs medicare plan helps Health Insurance companies-hurts the American people
Privitizing social security helps Wall Street-hurts the American people.
Ryan wants more tax cuts for the rich paid for by the middle class.
He can go to hell.
Don't get all excited for the Pander in Chief, just yet. Michael Dukakis was 15 points ahead of Bush Sr, at this time in the election. Dukakis lost lmao...See you guys in Nov.
Romney/Ryan 2012
Let's start chipping away at ~$16T debt.
Meanwhile, Michelle O is partying with Gwen Stefani.
She is so cool!
Jealous?
LOOK! Squirrel!!
Jealous of my money she is spending
Repubs blocked giving health care to 911 responders for years. Repubs took advantage of every photo op with 911 responders, while wrapping themselves up in the flag, then blocked healthcare for these dying and sick 911 responders. Trying to block any improvement in the economy just to make Obama a one term president as they pledged. When called out on National TV show (John Stewart show) the repubs voted for healthcare the very next day with Dems. Interestingh though, some repubs still voted to block healthcare for 911 responders, because they hate America.
Obama/Biden Team America 2012!!!
Yeah - the GOP/TP are into killing the uninsured. A rather sick lot, or should I say, don't get sick around those sickos without insurance.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F56cfSyWOkI
hjack you don't have any money your a Republican Bush pissed away all your money
Charlie-1915998 says, "10,000 people?? Big deal!!"
Your right Charlie, it was a big deal. After all Romney and Ryan could have been embarrassed like Obama was spewing in a half empty venue in Chicago yesterday. So I guess the big deal was the fact no one cared enough to come out to hear Obama give another hype and blame speech.
After all Romney and Ryan could have been embarrassed like Obama was spewing in a half empty venue in Chicago
Ron Paul pulled this many supporters to rallies on a weekly basis, Romney manages it once and snags the drudge headline. Sad.
Yeah, Ron did real well until they counted the votes...
Think you spelled that wrong
And Ryan/Romney ticket didn't even win WI...how quaint
Be nice, his name is Mitt Ryan
Oh sour grapes. Is it that the 'freebies' are in danger of drying up that creates so much ire? Is it the possibilty that accountability and facing facts is imminent? Guess the fear that the Obama 'stash' might just be history is getting to some folks. Hey, don't worry, you might lose a few freebies but there will still be a country to call home if Obama leaves.
Most freebies go to red states where all the poor are .Just telling a fact
Hey the Democrats have a lot to celebrate. Obama can't fill a venue in his home state. People are realizing hype and blame is not a solution to anything. MediScare will not work for the president that has already cut 700 billion from the program. Obama is dusting off the balanced approach to cutting the deficit and saving Medicare and Social Security line AGAIN even though he used it in the last election and then did nothing. Help me here, what are Democrats celebrating?
So both the far right and the far left are all excited about Ryan. But presidential elections are determined by the presidential candidates, not the VP candidates. If a VP made a difference, Bush 41 would likely not have won in 1988. Probably the last time a VP made any difference in the outcome was in 1960 and that's still doubtful.
Don't forget about 2008. Republicans were all excited about Palin -- but her star quickly faded.
Obama can still lose several swing stated and win while Romney has to just about run the table. That reality hasn't changed.
Well, at least this is one story where the liberals cannot blame Bush!
Ryan is a good pick, not everyone is going to be a fan.
Romney/Ryan 2012
You're right, we don't need to blame Bush anymore, Rmoney just nominated a guy who VOTED FOR EVERYTHING Bush wanted...we can just blame Ryan.
Ryan caused the deficit to explode by voting for tax cuts, wars, and TARP...why should we trust him to fix the mess HE created?
At least he voted, unlike Obama.
Don't you mean the mess the Democrats created?
In the last six years the Democrats have had the House of Representatives for 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 and the Republicans have only had the House of Reps for 2011 and 2012. The Democrats had the White House in 2009 and 2010 and had a filibuster proof majority in 2009. The Democrats have had the Senate for the Last six years. When Bush was President in 2007 and 2008 he was a Lame duck President because the Dems controlled the House and Senate.
When you've had 2/3rds of the power for the last six years and for two of those six years you've had 3/3rds of the power and for one of those years a filibuster proof majority don't you think you should act like an adult and take your "Fair Share" of the Responsibility instead of blaming every one else?
Ryan is a good pick. The gop HAS been steering HARD right and this young man is a part of it. Our congratulations on being picked. Not going to win, but congatulations are in order. What a dysfunctional american political party the gop seems to be with extremeism that is AT LEAST 75% unwarranted. Kinda pathetic. Congress is the real prize.
Ryan is Bush. He supported both wars, both tax cuts, the medicare loophole. If you want to go back to Bush, vote for Ryan.
Also, unlike Obama, Ryan has NEVER worked outside of politics. He has never had a job that was not paid by taxpayers.
Unlike obumbo???????????????? What job did that dipshlt ever have?
You do know that Paul Ryan has never had a real job either right?
Exactly, and the recession started in 2007 when republicans had had control for 12 years...the ignorance of history around here is astounding
Clotho
Why don't you get your facts straight? Ryan had a job working for his father. Romney got his start using the trust fund set up by his father. So, both have had private sector jobs - they've just never had to submit a resume, sit for an interview or work in a condition where they could lose their livelihood.
As a conservative, I'm a little bit sick of the GOP running these clowns. Why can't the GOP run someone that fights for conservative values and not just corporate values?
Our biggest problem in this country isn't obama or romney, democrats or republicans. It is that the people who could solve our massive problems would never want to run for office or deal with those crooks in Washington.
Exactly what job did Obama have outside of politics? He was a community organizer in Chicago and that was it. The Democrats voted for all the wars and tax cuts and are Obama and the Democrats are still voting for the tax cuts. Get your head out of ass and do a little research.
In the last six years the Democrats have had the House of Representatives for 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 and the Republicans have only had the House of Reps for 2011 and 2012. The Democrats had the White House in 2009 and 2010 and had a filibuster proof majority in 2009. The Democrats have had the Senate for the Last six years. When Bush was President in 2007 and 2008 he was a Lame duck President because the Dems controlled the House and Senate.
When you've had 2/3rds of the power for the last six years and for two of those six years you've had 3/3rds of the power and for one of those years a filibuster proof majority don't you think you should act like an adult and take your "Fair Share" of the Responsibility instead of blaming every one else?
whoknow
Romney actually did submit a resume and interview at Bain in 1977. He impressed his boss so much he became partner in a new adventure called Bain Capital in 1984 was his concept.
Dear Rick OKC:
Obama lectured on constitutional law at the Universtity of Chicago.
Darth Cheney created a lie by resurrecting the Nigerian yellowcake debunked data. Then he outed Valerie Plame in revenge and let Scooter Libby take the fall. Bush refused to pardon Libby because he knew the truth - Cheney started the war with fabricated evidence.
All of your other points show how foolish you are. The dems had a 60 seat majority, but they also had Ben Nelson, a very ill Ted Kennedy, and Joe Leiberman. All they needed was for one of those to fail to vote or vote the other way and the repubs filibustered - since 2007, a record 360 times.
Keep posting - fool.
noah, no matter how much money you make, if your wife spends it all, your still broke. bush spent it all and went into debt, so enjoy the fruits of you labor, lol
uh oh! Blearyeyed has resorted to name calling. Must be out of lame arguments.
Paul Ryan...one of the 14 repubs who met the night Obama took office, to pledge against the economy, pledged to vote against every bill that would help Obama look good. Pledged to make Obama a one term president by pledging to vote against anything that would help the economy. Said they had to act like the Taliban, the insurgents . VOTING AGAINST AMERICA.......PAUL RYAN!
Paul Ryan, takes the oath of his office then takes the oath to King Norquist, like a traitor to his country, pledging to Norquist above the people who voted him into office, pledging to Norquist while throwing the Constitution in the dirt. 95% of repub politicians took that pledge and some are trying to back track now that elections are coming. People will make repubs pay because they pledged to King Norquist over their interests and the interests of the constitution.
are you dumb?
Oh please - Bain wasn't Romney's concept, and he fully resisted the position until the deal was so sweet, there was absolutely no way he could be viewed as a failure.
Wisconsin? Say, isn't that where the unions spent millions on a recall election to get rid of Walker? Guess it is 'better luck next time' season? Obama is one and done, unless he manages with the help of little lapdog Holder, to steal the elections.
People are tired and depressed and weary of the Obama negativity. There was a collective release of pent-up frustration and negativity when Ryan was announced. At least Romney is focusing on what needs to be fixed rather than constantly running around campaigning, grabbing for cash, telling people they didn't do anything and it was the government who made them what they are.
People are tired of being talked down to, treated like simpletons and being told that the only thing that can save them is growing an even larger bureaucracy. Tax and spend and tax some more, Obama's mantra. That and fear. Whatever optimism he generated during his last campaign has vanished, four years of doldrums have taken their toll and the people, (Americans that actually care about America rather than wanting America to be a poor imitation of France) are ready for some fresh air.
Wisconsin? Say, isn't that where the GOP lost their majority?
George PaulJones
Bush's wife appeared to be more the democratic party than the Republican party. That was what his "new tone" turned out to be.
Ted Kennedy wrote "no Child Left Behind"
The senior Prescription Drug program was about trying to take a democrat campaign issue off the table.
While he wanted changes to monitor the mortgage system, he still added a program to expand mortgage approval to the low income.
TARP was a program that Democrats seem to do on a smaller scale. They haven't complained about it since and use it quite well.
The failure to recognize that so many of these programs are things democrats want makes a box of rocks look pretty smart.
Ryan is a good pick.
Yes -- a great pick for President Obama. Romney just handed Florida to the President. Game, set, match Obama.
Should be interesting when Ryan's mother who lives off Social Security and Medicare in the State of Florida becomes better known. As if anyone other then a liberal is going to believe Ryan would toss her under the bus. Funny how 60 minutes didn't air that part in their interview last night, but when it comes out seniors will notice. Seniors will also notice that so far only Obama has cut the Medicare program, and to the tune of 700 billion. Ryan offered a plan to save Medicare, while Obama cut it and has left it on the path toward bankruptcy. No doubt Florida has been handed to Obama, if everyone ignores the facts.
ON WISCONSIN! Attack, blame and lie, that's all the libs got left.
No plan, no ideas, no integrity......NO CLUE!
Romney/Ryan 2012
Ryan vs Biden will be comical. If Ryan diced Obamacare in 6 minutes, i would think he would make quick work of Joe in say.... 50 seconds or so
You may want to watch with tissues then...because while I will be laughing, you may be crying when Biden destroys Ryan with actual reality.
-brendan4
And here I thought only Romney and Ryan were idiots. If you cut off the tops of their heads and scraped the insides of their heads you wouldn't get a teaspoon full between the both of them.
Biden couldn't pack Ryan's lunch. You libs kill me with your blind obedience.
When biden destroys Ryan?????????????????? HA HA Ha, biden is just a big blowhard.
Catholic Church dumped Ryan because of his Ryan plan that hurts the middle class, poor, elderly, veterans, and kills Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid.
Obama/Biden 2012
let the games begin....
R/R 12
see ya in November
That must be a joke as you defend Mitt the Twit and then talk about our blind obedience. Mitt is not even man enough to release his tax returns and you want to pass him off as leadership material.
And Ryan is an idiot that would kill America for more tax cuts for himself and Mitt. Maybe that would be smart for himself but what about America the land that we are suppose to love. You remember patriotism, the reason why republicans wear flag pins.
You don't drown the dog to kill the fleas if you really love the dog.
tax returns. All you libs have got. How about, we just point out Obama's accomplishments. Why do you all attack the GOP instead of giving us a reason to believe in your guy?
Wrong again Star
http://www.christianpost.com/news/interview-catholic-priest-on-ryan-budget-and-church-doctrine-73582/
2 Bishops in disagreement does not add up to the Catholic church!
starsailing @ 7.5: "Catholic Church dumped Ryan because of his Ryan plan that hurts the middle class, poor, elderly, veterans, and kills Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid." Another one of your poor attempts at lying. The Catholic Church is over joyed at his being named as Romney's VP. Go try your BS elsewhere.
Catholic church dumped Obama. Also the black christain ministers did the same. They are telling their congregations NOT to vote. He will also lose votes with his stand on gay marriage.
And even if a snowballs chance in hell Obama does get reelected, what does he plan to do with a republican senate and house. Do you people really want a lame duck president? I hope not. Look what happened to Bush when he was a lame duck. Democrats in congress screwed him and the country just to gain power, and now that they have had it for 6 yrs now, what have they done for the COUNTRY? I am not talking about the poor, or the gays, or any special interest group. Has he ended the wars? Has he made any progress to make our country energy independent? Has he lowered unemployment? Has he decreased the deficit? He promised all these things and so far he has done none of them. He has done great at blaming republicans, but that is still on him, he is the leader and he needs to find compromises. He has proven he is unable to work with people unless they totally agree with him. Democrats did the same crap to Bush and the man never complained.
All the accomplishments of Bill Clinton are gone with Obama. A real shame.
Come on, Wisconsin! We always did shake things up- so keep it coming now! No-O, 2012!
Sounds like more than just a couple. Your own link says over 60, but hey, go ahead and misquote quotes, just like your idol network, Faux.
They sure do - gave the old GOP/TP party a smack down in the recall elections.
Huh? You been lost for awhile?
Hard to vote for a guy that has nuns following him around saying he doesn't get the bible, and his plan will destroy the lives of the working poor. Nuns!
Again Red Dev,
59 Catholic theologians are a small number in comparison to the number of theologians in the catholic church is THOUSANDS!
Don't pick on middle class Joe. It is not nice to make fun of the intellectually challenged.
10000 isn't a presidential kickoff, it's sugar ray's crowd in toldeo on a wednesday night!
Sachel
This is Wisconsin. The cows in half the counties far outnumber the citizens. 10,000 would be about 3% of the population in his district, and his district stretches half way across Wisconsin.
Obama pulled in 50,000 in St Louis a city of 2.8 Million or about 1.5% of the population.
DB Akron
Probably all of them were on some kind of government dole.
LOL Reb you are probably right. Or, they wanted to see a sitting president one last time before he had to leave office.
Obama 9 points ahead of Romney in Polls!
I've got a poll for ya. LOL. Two months ago you libs said polls meant nothing. Now? You are just to easy.
Obama 9 points up comes from stuffing the Polling results with an unrealistic number of democrats to republicans and independents.
In November the democrats, like Custer are going to say, "hey, where did all those indians come from?".
starsailing, yeah if I run a poll with more Republicans than Democrats in the sample I bet my poll could show Romney ahead by 9 points. In statistics we have an old saying: "figures never lie but liars sure can figure."
The Silent Majority spoke Loudly in 2010, They will do so again this year, Hope and change is no longer believable under this Administration.
Yes, US citizen! The silent majority... this year's election will be a shocker to all, I think, unless it is rigged by the Dems. There isn't a person I talk to that wants to see Obama retain his job.
The CEO isn't earning his keep, while we all keep sliding further into poverty!
The GOP/TP is doing all the rigging in this election cycle. Purpose of voter ID laws is to eliminate democrat voters. Too bad so many of these laws are ending up in court; yet another kick in the pants to the slimes that are the GOP/TP.
You keep believing that. Holder's DOJ has made it a point to not go after updating voter rolls, one of the tasks he is responsible for. Holder and Obama are all for having dead people and illegals vote often and vote democrat.
Oh really, then why can't they find the supposed numerous examples of this happening? I'll tell ya why, because it isn't happening.
Yeah, only 10,000 plus attended the Romney/Ryan rally. The only thing that could have been worse is if Obama were in a venue in Chicago giving a campaign speech to a half empty crowd. Wait a minute, that is what Obama was doing in his home state, spewing to a half empty venue, so never mind.
LOL! Ron Paul's been doing 10,000 people speeches since Romney was in diapers!
Means it's about time to retire... or die!
A repeat of the 1980 Reagan vs. Carter campaign and election....................
I'm guessing the sycophantic Obama left is watching all this and saying to themselves, wow...time to button down the hatches.........Romney/Ryan, game on.
Well, you guessed wrong. We all wanted Ryan for the pick. Now there is no running from the agenda we knew Mitt represented... and it will be his doom.
OneOfTheSane
"I retired a wealthy Dem at 52." So did you build your business or did the government?
Nether, Reb. I worked as an independent contractor with no guarantee and no benefits. That is something that very few are willing to do because it takes large balls.
On the hand, if you know you are good at what you do and don't fear making zero some weeks and several thousand in others, it sure allows freedom from any BS.
I was worried about Rubio. Ryan's done too much damage to appeal on the national level.
Gee, oneofthesame, since you are so "successful" I can't imagine you would be an obumbo fan. I smell a phony!!
Just because you are successful doesn't mean you hate America and hate your fellow man.
I work, I own my own home and a couple months ago voted to increase my property taxes for schools and for firefighters. It won as I live in a liberal area where people are more important than greed and selfishness.
Try putting some love before your hate and greed and see how good it feels.
-usa1967-...
I don't know what you smell, pal. other than the BS you are fed about all Dems being on welfare.
Wake up and smell reality.
oneofthesame.....keep spreading the "obamaloney", pal. We have had 4 yrs of a dismal failure and anything will be better.
One of the Sane
They get that from the 2008 Poll Results. The largest portion of the poor that voted were Democrats.
-usa1967-...
I find it funny that I achieved early retirement and self dependence, yet you wanna rag on me. Isn't that what all you Repukes advocate?
Why can't you accept the fact that there are many successful Dems and Independents that abhor the mantra of getting wealthy via tax breaks with no concern for others less fortunate?
Is it because generally we also support freedom on social issues. That is something else the right has no tolerance for.
It's batten down the hatches.
Meaning: To prepare for trouble.
The securing of property, especially the covering of it with protective sheeting, is called 'battening down'. It has a nautical origin and 'battening down' of walkways and hatches was done on ships when bad weather was expected.
Laura: Remember, this is the internet. One is able to leap tall building in single bounds and walk on water and retire early at fifty even though one is a democrat and more than likely on the dole or else guilty of watching one too many 007 movies.
@ one of the sane;
You're probably sitting there eating your Hungry Man "Turkey " TV dinner, shouting up at your mom to bring you down a Mountain Dew.
If you consider living off your 70 yr old mom's SS "early retirement and financial self dependence", go get'em tiger.
@ starsailing;
Just because you keep repeating your same BS doesn't make it anymore factual or truthful.
@ mygirl1...
I have no problem calling an ignorant @!$%#, an ignorant @!$%#. You won't be the first and you won't be the last. Report me. Again, you won't be the first and you won't be the last.
@ TwistedFister...
Ditto
Report you? Are you that insecure? I find you amusing, not inflammatory. I rarely report or collapse, unlike those of a more liberal persuasion.
OneoftheSame,
Please tell me, where are the REQUIRED budgets for the last 3 years under Obama's "leadership" ? How many votes for his budget has Romney received from his own party ? Oh ..... and can you tell me his proposals for reducing unemployment in his second term and for reducing the national debt ??
I will await your answer, because Obama appears to have no plan other than desperately trying to assassinate his opponents character in hopes of being re-elected.
When will Obama have a budget ? We are $16 trillion in debt with no plan !
Oneofthesame: Gotta go with Jim145 on this one! You got an honest answer for any of these? Funny how you guys run from the truth when it leaves egg on your face. Nobody likes it, but surely someone with as big o b$lls as you got, can fess up! No? Not surprised, change the subject or spin it till it fits. Cheers!
largest crowd so far...what a great start for the vp candidate Ryan...of course everything is relative such as "compared to what?"...
I like Ryan he is a good man
Boy, you clueless liberals have no idea what kind of shellacking you're going to get in November. Y'all keep talking about Mitts taxes and Flukes sex life and you will be ok.
It only took benefits that cost $9 per month to get Fluke's vote while stepping on the religious rights of those that object. Fluke is cheap does not take much to buy her
She was a plant, a useful idiot, that didn't mind getting used for a few minutes of fame. She was speaking at a Obama Rally last week, haven't heard much other than that.
Its so cool to listen to you talk of someone you don't know. Than call her names. Right there you guys show that you are the pride of the republican party. You make your party look real good. Thank You for showing all of us your ass.

"She was a plant, a useful idiot, that didn't mind getting used for a few minutes of fame."
My God how can your ilk be so hypocritical??!! So you didn't believe her either?? So you thought she was a slut like Rush did? You people have no scruples to throw one of your own uneder he bus. What a waste.
Reb.....she was trotted out to give her phony BS at some "extra" session put together by a bunch of liberals to get the liberal media to trumpet her "story". Do ya "get it" now???
Your ignorance of the real issue, coupled with your hatred only makes your so-called "point" laughable.
usa1967:
Yeah - I get it. You're a fool and a tool.
One of the Sane
You can get birth control for $9. College kids spend more than that on beer each week. And the women usually don't have to pay for the beer.
Well the fact that you are willing to pay for beer to try and get women drunk enough to sleep with your dumb ass makes me wonder why you oppose birth control.
Wait.... I know. You hate wearing a rubber and will blame the pregnancy on the "sluts" like Sandra Fluke. LOL... you immature clowns make me laugh.
Grow up... take responsibility for your hard c#ck.
Obviously, this one didn't listen to a word of Sandra Fluke's testimony. Note to idiotic Limbaugh-neanderthals that think birth control pills sole use is for birth control - it is used to treat a variety of medical issues. But then, being chauvinistic pigs, you wouldn't know that, would ya. Proof positive human reproduction must be taught in public education.
@Sane - would be hysterical to see the quick change in attitude if birth control were outlawed, and the beer buyers had to become responsible for every beer baby born to college daddies. No doubt, birth control pills would be mandatory within a year.
RedDevPS...
Yeh, it would be a whole other argument if guys got pregnant. I wonder how many Repukes have paid for the abortions their sons were responsible for in order to keep the "good family name".
Hypocrite bastards make me laugh.
In today's world anyone not using a condom has a death wish. Note, condoms aren't expensive. As to treating medical conditions, perhaps, but then they would not be contraceptives, they would be drugs.
Perhaps? Please tell me you aren't one of those woman stuck in the dark ages, using aspirin between the knees as birth control.
@OneoftheSane - happens all the time.
Nah, I'm one of those women who pays for her own contraceptives and doesn't rely on the government to take care of me.
As scooby doo once said ....
"Ruh roh"
Or more specifically....
"Ruh roh - Romrhey and Ryruhn are screwed..."
When it comes to "low and mean" campaigns that Ryan goes on about, the GOP knows all about those.
Would you please pass the bong ? Damn, that must be some really fine $hit you're smoking there dude !
How about Dummycraps trying to blame the death of a woman from cancer, years after Romney had left Bain, further years after her and her husband decided to forego health insurance ...... a total of like 6 to 7 years after Romney had left Bain Capital ?
Of course, Stephanie Cutter who works for Obama knew all about this garbage attack and denied it !
TWO MAJOR ASPECTS OF THE THE PAUL RYAN PLAN....Which Mitt endorses.
Put all the social security taxes in Wall Street accounts and let Goldman manage your money – your benefits will be cut by 40%.
Take the Medicare taxes you paid and give them to "for profit" insurance companies – you get a voucher for about 60% of the current cost of your care.

Yes things are going so well now... not..
I'd rather go out fighting than go down whimpering because of a Fascist take over..
Obama does not believe in America. He has no idea what to do other than push his Fascist agenda..
So now you think Obama is PRO-corporation and pro-business? So much so that you call him fascist...weird I though he was a socialist?
"He has no idea what to do other than push his Fascist agenda."
Um, I thought that everyone has been complaining that Obama is a Socialist, not a Fascist. He can't be both a Socialist and a Fascist, since they're opposite political stances. Do you even know what either term means?
Please make up your mind, and decide what nasty newly-learned name you want to call him, and then we might start giving your thoughts some credence....
Paul
Benito Mussolini as all dictators seem to do get their power by first appearing as socialists. Once they consolidate their power, the do whatever they please.
IF you don't believe me, read all of Marx and Lenin. What they describe as the route to Communism is really a form of socialism.
The easiest way to control people is first give them small things they want and promise more.
Paul AS,
Do you even know what NAZI means?!!! Fascism and Socialism are not opposites. Fascism is a type of Socialism. Auf Deutsch NAZI means “Nationalsozialismus” which means Nationalist Socialism in English. The NAZIs espoused and carried out a program of merging the state (government) with business. I find the nationalist component of NAZIism repugnant as well!
They believed that all power and authority in society should be monolithic and should be controlled to benefit the “whole” rather than protect individual rights. They did not believe in individuals, but rather grouped all individuals into groups – thus the Holocaust! These beliefs do indeed resemble Obama’s beliefs – and many other Americans. I will oppose these beliefs with every fiber and every bone in my body. I will fight and die for my freedom, which is inalienable, and cannot be taken from me – no matter the laws or tyrants that govern.
Uh, sorry expat, but Paul is correct.
Simply because the WORD socialist appeared in the expanded NAZI name does not prove that they were in any way socialist. They were NOT.
It's kinda like you having the middle name "intelligent."
They sure are going a lot better than between 2001-2008. Talk about a disastrous Lost Decade. Below just discusses the massive financial disasters. It doesn't even address terrorist attacks that should have been avoided, false wars, massive government overspending. Wow .. let's return to that debacle.
"Simply because the WORD socialist appeared in the expanded NAZI name does not prove that they were in any way socialist. They were NOT."
Exactly. Just like how the government of North Korea officially has the name "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" does not mean it actually is democratic.
Adding WI into the Romney-Ryan electoral column will even this battle up a bit!
It won't happen.
Larry - Pay attention. Wisconsin started out with Obama at a 10 point Plus lead. The latest poll and it is a Likely voter poll says Obama up only 4. Ryan brings wisconsin in.
The left is saying Romney loses Florida, but if Florida takes Rubio from 10 points down to a solid victory, they will like Ryan too.
The Left says that Virginia is gone. Obama won Virginia by a thousand votes, but put Republican Governor McDonald in solidly 2 years later.
The only thing Ryan could have done better was be a Buckeye for his education, but Miami of Ohio isn't bad. Ohio will edge closer to Romney.
Why am I confident of this. It was leaked from the Romney camp that extensive polling was done in the key states. Ryan gives him a good boost in enough of them or they wouldn't have picked him.
Rubio? Mis-type I assume?
Florida is going to go solidly for Obama, now that seniors are turning against Ryan's plan to privatize medicare and give out coupons.
It's not a great sign of Romney, that even the first day VP bump can't help him lead in Wisconsin. Other than the GOP convention, this is Romney's best chance to help himself. It's not going well for him.
Romney will not lose Fla. I live here and O doesn't have a chance. He lost the Jewish vote and their money, the indepent vote and the blue dogs. O is toast
You'd better get your facts straight. The seniors are not going to "run" to Obama regarding Medicare. THE FACT IS THAT SENIORS 55 AND OLDER WILL HAVE NO CHANGE IN THEIR MEDICARE COVERAGE. Romney/Ryan will convey that message to the seniors of Florida and everywhere else in this country. It amazes me that you liberals are so clueless as to believe a man who lies every time he opens his mouth and who is an Alinsky disciple who is out to ruin our country. Keep him around and you'll see the destruction of America. His goals are to bankrupt the US ($16 TRILLION IN DEBT), control banking, take over companies (GM), limit our use of our own natural resources (Solindra $$$), weaken our military and take away our guns. These are all part of the Alinsky goals.
Clotho
In Florida Quinnipiac gave democrats a 9 point edge over Republicans. Registration is pretty close to even for the two. Turnout in 2010 was a 3 point edge in favor of the democrats.
The poll numbers you quote are simply not the reality. remove the 6 point oversample and the two are tied.
Show us the tax returns,Mittens. What are you so afraid of the American people finding out about you? We knew what a lying creep you were in Massachusetts. You're terrified that the rest of the country will find out.
Gerry - We can be sure that anything on Romney's tax returns will be legal since he and his CPA know that they might be scrutinized thoroughly by the ferrets at the IRS. In any case they can have no possible effect on the country as a whole.
We can't say the same for the Fast and Furious documents that Obama is hiding by Executive Privilege. Obama talks “transparency” and practices the most aggressive obscuration.
Apparently the documents relating to Fast and Furious are so damning to Obama that if they come to light he would not only lose the election, but might also be sent to prison.
It would be nice to know if Obama got foreign student aid but his records are sealed. Mitt has nothing illegal to hide can't make that claim on Barry/Obama
Romney should release his college records, applications, and passport info. and then demand the same from Mr. Obama. We can start a new precedent.
Since we are told Barack Obama is the "smartest" President ever, it would be nice to see some evidence of that. How did he get into such pricey, fancy schools when he admitted that he grandparents were middle class and that he spent the last 2 years of high school doing drugs? By the way, how did he pay for those drugs? did he have a job?
Lets see if teabaggers can pass a simple logic test:
Which is more relevant?
a) 25 year old college transcripts of a kid
b) 2 year old tax returns of a man
....?
Romney should show his tax returns. I suggest he do so five minutes after Obama shows his college transcripts.
why should he , really?
because harry calls him on it?
well from the mouth of babes himeself " I can not prove it"
if he caint prove then why should he ?
would you ? show me your tax's, I think you have been cheating the GOVERNment for years
see ya in November
R/R 12
Obama show us anything that you haven't had sealed ....what a lame bite!
Let's see if the liberals can pass a test:
Which is more relevant:
A: school records, med records, passport info, financial aid records of a man running for Pres of the US.
B: Tax records approved by the IRS of a sucessful man running for Pres of the US.
Hummmm... to tough for ya?? Thought so....
Come on we are not that stupid. Romney would not be hiding his taxes if he didn't have a very good reason to be hiding them.
Defend him all you want, but me I think Romney is a crooked coward until he proves otherwise. Romney's own father said anyone releasing just one year taxes could be rigged to lie to the voters and that is why Romney's dad released 12 years.
Now we have one year of Mittens rigged tax return and he refuses to release any more and the best part as always nothing is ever his fault, it is the fault of the big bad democrats who would pick on him.
Good grief, then you want us to believe that Mitt the twit is leadership material.
And Mitt required more than that from Pawlenty when Tim was on Mitt's VP list. If Mitt needs more, then we need to see more of Mitt's returns.
Not tough at all
B, the answer has always been B.
Who cares about Obama's shot records from elementary school, we want to know if Rmoney bet against his country last year...
No you don't. Your just scared witless that the gravy train will dry up. May have to actually pay for the student loan.
Wow! Ryan is truly impressive! Frequently presidential candidates will pick a doofus like Biden as their running mate to so they can look good by comparison. Other times they will pick a VP just to bring in a particular segment of the electorate, as with Walter Mondale's choice of Geraldine Ferraro. The fact that Romney has chosen Ryan shows that he has a great deal of self confidence. More importantly, it shows that he is assembling a top-notch management team. As a businessman, he realizes that a tough challenge, like undoing Obama's mischief, will take the very highest quality team to accomplish.
Romney chose a running mate who is smart and tough and who can best help him fix the mess this country is in. Maybe bringing in votes in critical battlegrounds would have been a better choice, but it shows that his priorities are our country first; politics last. … Just the opposite of Obama.
America is not a business. It's a country, not a business.
It won't be for long with 4 more years of Obama's lack of leadership....
Smitty:
BuelZhit!
My home is just my house, our home, too, but if I don't run it like a business- if I don't look to see why we are too broke to help others and GET MY HOUSE IN ORDER, we're going down! At home, that is.
The same holds true for America. It is time SOMEBODY gets America back into order! This whole financial toilet that all Americans went through and are still trying to deal with needs ACUTE ATTENTION. It is time to get a chief.
I don't know if Romney/Ryan is it, but I sure do know OBAMA isn't it!!
I am tired of this 'SPEND-O-RAMA-O-BAMA.
Back at ya. The sole and only purpose of business is to make a profit. Government should never make a profit. The purpose of a home is to give you a place to live. None of these are related - unless of course, you make the feeble claim that they all have bills to pay.
RedDev POS, I have never seen a successful business with a statement of purpose scope so narrow as to only include a profit. I will tell you this .... if a business is unable to sustain a profit, they will be OUT OF BUSINESS for good, and then NO ONE will have a job !
If our country continues to lose $1.3 trillion a year, the U.S. will be bankrupt and total financial chaoes will consume the entire world as we know it.
If you think the government "should never make a profit", then you have absolutely no understanding of budgets, debt and bankruptcy !! We are headed in that direction under Obama's failed leadership. Re-distributing wealth only goes so far .... until you run out of wealth to hand out.
We'd better have the courage to face the future-head on. Obama is ignoring the obvious as do many more liberal leaning types, who live, and vote for the socialist handout, and contribute little or nothing in return. His philosophy is if the credit card is maxed out, get another and use it to pay the minimum payment on the others (check it out, we only pay interest on the growing national debt, which continues to eat more and more percentage wise into the US budget). Eventually the interest will consume all income, and there is nothing left to spend on necessities, roads, defense, etc...guess what then-bankruptcy, and all those who want gimme's will get nothing-because there is nothing left. Better to bite the bullet now, make everyone realize that their only right is to speech and freedom of choice, and after that, they are on their own to make their own way. It is how this country became great, because people aspired to do better, and knew the only person who would make it happen were themselves.
And Kannin, I couldn't agree more. As for Gerry Daley, let the class warfare envy go. Let's see your tax returns...or do you pay any?
Maybe you have been asleep these last few years but out deficit was driven up by bush and cheney who declared that deficit didn't matter.
The republicans and Ryan voted for tax cuts, they started wars and then gave more tax cuts, drove up the deficit and were quite happy until President Obama was elected and then the deficit suddenly became the worst thing the democrats and President Obama had ever done.
Sorry nobody made it own their own, the middle class grew because of the educational opportunities provided by government.
You claim to believe in free speech and freedom of choice, but you are defending Romney who has pledged to take rights away from women and republicans who are taking our rights of speech away with voter suppression.
Whatever. I could care less what caused something so long as there is a way to fix it. Blame, deflection and weak excuses don't fix a problem, that only allows them to continue. The middle class grew because of capitalism, not government. Dear God, what have they been teaching in school these days?
The liberals (er - 'progressives') have the answer - BLAME GEORGE BUSH!! - that's their platform.
How is someone who voted for TARP, the GM and Chrysler bailouts, No Child Left Behind, voted for the Iraq war, advocates for even more military spending, and has been in office for 13 years going to imbue Romney with conservative street cred? How will this help him get the vote of real advocates for small government, civil liberty, and fiscal responsibility? Paul Ryan suffers from the same issues that has plagued Romney throughout the primaries, a lack of credibility. According to the CBO, this budget people are talking about MIGHT have taken care of the deficit by 2040, but probably would have added about 4 trillion over the next ten years.
The budget mess we are in can not be fixed in just 10 years but needs to bend the curve or you tank the economy-Obama's budget does not bend the curve. The problem you have when Pelosi/Reed/Obama increased non-discretionary budgets by 25% when they got power. Need to slow the rate of growth of Federal programs to get spending down from the 25% of GDP that Obama has and back to where it is 18-20% which is our tax capacity
Gee, there is more than one way to skin that cat. Like, actually doing what the GOP/TP promised to American in 2010, and give us jobs, jobs, jobs. Reducing the unemployment rate would increase tax revenues, reduce the need for reliance upon welfare, food stamp, and unemployment programs, increase spending, and walla .. GDP fixed. But as we know, the only priority of the GOP/TP is to ensure Obama was stalled at every job creation effort so at this election, they could use the unemployment figure as an issue to campaign against Obama.
Sadly, the GOP/TP have proven to be the lowest form of human scum - holding millions of Americans hostage just to win an election.
Obama/ Biden vs Romney/Ryan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! World, America is on the way back. Thank God.
Accidently voted for your post when I was trying to reply to it.
The Vulture/Voucher ticket will return us to the Bush II debacle. Tax breaks for the rich, needless war, cut services for the rest of us.
Two out-of touch morons that say to hell with the middle class.
OBAMA /BIDEN 2012!!!!!
Geee Sara...............welfare check late?? Take a deep breath and accept responsibility for yourself!
You republicans have a hard time accepting that liberals are just like you they have jobs, they own homes, they just aren't stingy and don't put their greed above America and their fellow man.
It is about time the republicans took some responsibility for the damage they did to our economy instead of blaming President Obama as their excuse to take us back to the bush policies that broke our country to begin with.
Ryan voted to give the greedy banker a bail out, but now that it has come to the victims well it is time to get tough and punish those people who can't find jobs.
All the hate and greed rolled up into one person, Ryan, and of course Cheney's hero.
VOTE FOR WOMEN'S FREEDOM...VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT 2012
With capitalism I am hard working, highly skilled, and productive. In a Socialist Amerika I will quit. I will sap the system and take every benefit I can. My skills will vanish and I will become dependent on the Socialist government. I will never work again and will spend all my time fighting the government.
Expat
In the Us the average welfare recipient is 3rd generation so your statement is right on
@Sara - sweet : ) Do you mind if I use it?
@Expat - we would expect nothing else from too many in the GOP/TP. A lousy work ethic, at best. If you are an Aussie expat, you must hate your country of origin. If you are an American expat .. why not stay where you are?
J. Wolf,
I am neither GOP nor TP. I am an American and will not return to America until sanity returns to America. I will do all I can to support the patriots in America who will need weapons and aid to fight the tyrannical socialists that are trying to enslave America. I hope that we can kill all of the communist sympathizers in America and return the world to the path of freedom. My work ethic is not at issue, I always work my ass off, but for cause -- not for personal gain. I will be a supplier of assets to fight the evil in Amerika. I simply want to show Americans that the do not need to serve the state if they do not wish to do so. Governments only govern with the permission of the people. Americans are not cowards, they will oppose you!
'Mike' - Great post - can you feel the liberal panic? I was watching Rachel Madow melt down on Meet the Press Sunday - it was amazing (and fun) to see. NOVEMBER 2012!! the final end of Obamunism!!!
MSNBC---Does not have the GUTS to show the video of the get together (10000+ put together in a few hours. This will Real HOPE & CHANGE...
At least Paul Ryan has the courage to propose ideas and changes to entitlements that will be dead anyhow if nothing is done.
That is more than we can say for Mr. Obama. Lots of criticism from the left, but no solutions of their own. Heck, the Democratic Senate still can't propose and pass a budget in over 1200 days.
That does nothing to address the issues I highlighted. Ryan can offer all the ideas he wants, that doesn't change the fact that he's a hypocrite for railing against Democrat big government while advocating Republican big government, or explain his support of the bailouts that have become a cornerstone of the Republican offensive against Obama. Am I the only one who takes issue with this? Republican Governor Gary Johnson makes both of these guys look like radical leftists.
Hey Everybody, yesterday I went to the Romney/Ryan Rally at Harris Pavillion in Manassas VA. Harris Pavillion seats about 4,000 which is more than they expected, however unexpectedly, over 11,000 Romney/Ryan fans (according to the radio) showed up! They just moved a jumbotron and some speakers out into the parking lots and it was an amazing rally!!! Romney looked great, Ryan looked like he was having a lot of fun... It's a great ticket!!! Lots of energy and an unbelievable crowd!!!
I said it a little over a month ago that Romney was just getting warmed up. Now watch the groundswell grow into early November and then watch it wash over the Obama administration and the Senate like the tsunami that hit Japan last year!!!
Go ROMNEY/RYAN 2012!!! YEAH BABY!!! Leadership for a change!!!
It is no change. It is Bush all over again.
How can ANYONE consider voting for anyone that would destroy Social Security and Medicare.
Please people, you are voting against your OWN self-interest.
Nothing in the Ryan marvelous plan has ANYTHING about cutting money to the Republicon Congressional Military war making Complex, why is defense always exempt? The Republicon controlled House just gave defense contractors over 200 billion for next fiscal year yet they want to kill old people by screwing them on their SS and Medicare that they paid for when they were working.The Republican want the old people to die sooner rather than later so they can give the money to their buddies thats why they want to terminate SS an Medicare as we know it.
Sara.....SS and MC are already on the ropes and obumbo is doing nothing to help. In fact he has done nothing at all these past 4 yrs. These programs need changes to survive and Romney & Ryan will make the needed changes. You need to pull your head out of the sand and look at the current mess and realize that the liberal agenda is a failure just like obumbo is.
usa1967 you are disgraceful racist. Worst, that you are stupid in making this statement. Fact is, that Obama has done quite a lot, he has done all he promised he would do and he has stopped the country from going down the drain. Romney and Ryan are no solution to anything, perhaps for a rich class on top but not for the country. Republican racism against blacks and latinos, hate for women, Moslem and anyone not looking like old white man will male the GOP un-electable.
Joachim -- and why do you call USA1967 a racist? Just because he disagrees with you? Your hatred of white people makes you the racist!
I agree- I would like to see Gary Johnson in there. I would like to see some really good minds, with an eye on the Constitution. Time will tell just how serious Romney is- if he is honestly wanting to do right for America or not... we will watch the cast and crew.
Gloria,
He is a Mormon. Mormons have an obligation to God to do the right thing. Never trust a Mormon if you are a criminal. They may succumb to the greed, but then they will inevitably repent. I genuinely believe that Mitt Romney WANTS to do the right thing for America. The question is not about his intent, the question is whether he is really doing the right thing. His choice for vice president seems to indicate he is on the right track.
His choice for VP forgot to tell you all that he isn't a Republican, but a Libertarian. Viva Ayn Rand!!!
