COLORADO SPRINGS, CO –- Paul Ryan wasted no time on Thursday in attacking President Barack Obama and the Democrats on the final day of the Democratic National Convention.
“The president is going to be in Charlotte tonight with the Democratic convention. Their convention actually began with a tribute to big government. They actually said government is the only thing we all belong to,” Ryan told the crowd. “Then, they cut references to God out of their platform. They reversed course on that one yesterday – it wasn’t really a popular reversal if you watched it on TV.”
In a new TV ad criticizing President Obama, Mitt Romney's campaign appears to be targeting single women voters who may like the president a great deal but are skeptical if he can deliver the type of change that he was talking about. NBC's David Gregory reports.
Continuing inside an airplane hangar: “But to quote a popular journalist from Wisconsin, ‘they were against God before they were for him.’” [The journalist, POLITICO’s Jim VandeHei, made the comments on MSNBC’s Morning Joe Thursday morning.]

Speaking in the Centennial State – where four years ago, Obama officially accepted the Democratic Party's presidential nomination – the Republican vice presidential candidate said the president hasn’t lived up to his promises and has made the economy worse.
“You know, right here in Colorado, four years ago with the Styrofoam Greek columns, the big stadium, the president gave this long speech with lots of big promises,” Ryan said speaking inside WestPac Restorations. “And he said, let me quote ‘if you don’t have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone people should run from.’ You know what, that is what he said four years ago and that is exactly what he is doing today. He has no record to run on.”
Sen. Bob Menendez and Sen. Chris Coons discuss how Vice President Joe Biden will help President Barack Obama, and touch on the Democratic platform.
The attacks are coming from both sides.
Recommended: Bill Clinton steps up to lay out the case for Obama, Democrats
Wednesday night, former President Bill Clinton spoke at the convention in Charlotte, NC and did not hold back on attacking the Romney-Ryan ticket.
“When Congressman Ryan looked into that TV camera and attacked President Obama's Medicare savings 'the biggest, coldest power play,' I didn't know whether to laugh or cry,” Clinton said. “Because that $716 billion is exactly to the dollar the same amount of Medicare savings that he had in his own budget! You got to admit one thing, it takes some brass to attack a guy for doing what you did.”
Congressman Ryan, who in Iowa on Wednesday morning praised Clinton for working with Republicans while in office, made no reference to the remarks made at the convention last night by the 42nd president.

The House Budget Committee Chairman, however, did acknowledge he may have finally found one thing to agree on with current Vice President Joe Biden.
“You know it was just reported that in the middle of President Obama’s debt ceiling negotiations last summer Vice President Biden said quote, ‘You know if I were doing this I’d do it totally different,’” Ryan told the nearly 3,000 people here in Colorado about the upcoming Bob Woodward book, "The Price of Politics."
"Sounds like Joe and I finally agree on something," the congressman deadpanned.

Cheese ,Sausage and Beer. I used to Love Wisconsin.
WOW Feisty you really think alot of yourself. Careful there still is a God, oh that's right the Democrats think he doesn't exist. Good luck finding a job with your trash mouth when Obama is replaced, where will feisty and msn go then?
The smartest person in this administration didn't even show up for the dog and pony show. We will see Hilliary when this administration is gone. Where is Biden, dissed by the Prez? Can't wait for him to stand up and give us a show. I am happy though that you own this President and you are so proud of him, I can't wait for you to own the worst administration in history.
I loved the fact that everyone got to see the newest and brightest in your party, the young, vibrant, latino, Villa, lmfao. Good show Villa, we aren't missing you here in Cali. Can't you guys find anything better then a Mayor to show off?
My Gods can kick Ryan's god's ass.
Really, let the sheep rally around their false herder (Romney Ryan) because they said those evil democrates are taking the three letter word out of their program....GOOD because we are not a government that is and was never set up to be run by Religion, read the founding fathers documents, they were educated men and if they wanted this country to be run by religion that would of elected a Pope or Priest in Chief.....
They were trying to get away from a government run by religion because they saw how currupted the Catholic church had become as well as the Church of England......Let me start my own religion so I can divorce my wife.....now how many sects or cults are there of Christianity in this country? And every single one of them thinks their god loves them best and that is why there should be NO RELIGION IN GOVERNMENT. You want religion in government move to Iran, Saudi Arabia or North Korea.
You sir are not American or a Conservative but you do have the goods on Socialist. They do have Countries that support you and your atheist way. You probably do not want to move their, you wouldn't be able to open your messed up trap and what would you have to do all day?
socialist...STFU....you are the problem....
Mr. Ryan, a flunky character person like you, wanting to put our old
American people in a Medicare Voucher plans, and wishing to Privatized Social
security program to replace our old Medicare/ Social Security program that for
many long years have been working so well. You failed your personal integrity
one more time, lying to the needy old people with false pretenses of a better
health plan, when you will try to shove this incoherent, worthless health plan
to the many unaware citizens. Your proposed plan will cost much more, and the
sicker citizen put at a grater disadvantage of not able to get adequate
Insurance! If by a misfortune, you, and the other worthless crook of Mr. Romney
win the election, we will be in serious trouble! We know both of your plans are
to kill all of us sooner! You have no God, and you lie all the time because you
have no humanity! You are a false Catholic; you are nothing but a parasite. You
have a sick, sick conscience and no kindness in your soul. You go to hell, and
joint the devil to have a long talk of how to screw more people on earth, and
then apply it to yourself, and to your Republicans, Tea Party followers in
Congress!

another useful I-D_IO_t
Lost your trend of thought after the 1st long, long sentence.
religious HYPOCRITE, LIAR, GUNSLINGER, MAMA'S BOY Ryan TAKING AIM @ OUR ILLLUSTRIOUS PRESIDENT OBAMA! Don't worry Pres, this jerk couldn't hit a bear in the axx with a 2x4; and he can't run either! ALL HE CAN DO IS TELL LIES! He's an EXPERT AT LYING! CAN'T BE BEAT!!
illustrious...wow...you drank way too much kool-aid
Broke...
Cannot handle the truth????
You have the NOTORIOUS Mitt Romney
We have the Illustrious Barack Obama......Just saying
Saywhat, when gas is 6 dollars a gallon, unemployment goes above 15%, and the middle class is wiped out if NO-Bama gets re-elected, let me know then how you feel about how "illustrious" he is..
I can't wait for the Presidential debates, and the VP debates, when they will be standing face to face, less than 10' away from each other....it should get interesting.
If Obama sees storm clouds on Romney's face because of the lies Obama has told, Barry will probably ask to move the venue.
If you want to piss off a liberal, tell him a lie.
If you want to piss off a conversative, tell him the truth.
The only real choice for America.......Romney and Ryan
Avoid socialism and Marixism, defeat obama. His big selling point, the bail out of GM is about to go bust as they dance around bankruptcy again. So much for a union run company. They shipped jobs and money to Russia and China while GM and GMAC slid toward the toilet.
He bailed out GM...which is failing again and HE ORDERED Osama killed....That's all folks! Let the Looney Tunes move forward and get the heck off the lawn boy!
Sometimes the world seems like a big hole. You spend all your life shouting down
it and all you hear are echoes of some idiot, named BrokenColorado or MyFuzz yelling nonsense down
a hole.
Buzz your comments are to dumb to even comment on.
seriously
Actually if Barry and the Idiot get re-elected I will save a good deal of money. I was thinking of moving to a third world country that was about to collapse. I figured Greece would be a good choice but now I just stay in the United States and let the problems they have find me.
Of course having had to endure Barry for almost 4 years is almost like going to Greece and dropping your wallet. Just let it lie there. Now if only we could have the riots that they have. Next year.

I will gladly pay for your ticket.....it will be one less idiotic teapublican to soil our country
John 15:12 KJV:
"This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you"
Notice that Jesus did not say "This is my suggestion"? Or "This is a good idea"?
It is a Commandment and should be respected as such....
"This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you"
Notice Jesus did not single out whites, blacks, Latinos, straights, gays, men, women, children, young, old, healthy, sick?
Where does the GOP come off saying who you can and cannot love? Whom you can and cannot marry?
Right there in the Bible fool. It says a man is not to lay with another man. Sodom & Gahmorrah were gay towns destroyed by God.
It may not say anything about latinos but it does say something about paying taxes and abiding by the law. I guess illegals fall in that catagory.
It also talks about murder (abortion). Birth control is also talked about. It is better to spill your seed in the belly of a whore than behind a rock.
Any other questions?
Yes, question...
Jesus fulfilled the prophecies of the Old Testament, and gave us a New Dispensation. Why do you ignore Jesus teaching us to "Love One Another".
It was not His suggestion, or His good idea, it is His Commandment.
Saywhat, stop quoting Bible scriptures.. You have no real knowledge of what the verses actually mean, misquoting them doesn't make them true..
All i jhave been hearing is Ryan said this and Ryan bashed that. Is he running for president or Romney? Anyone out there voting for Ryan for Pres?????
No, he is running for Vice Liar in Chief...
Shhhhh Dont let the cat out. :(
Hey Pinocchio, Thou shall not lie was one of the commandments from GOD.
Read your Bible and pray every day if you want to grow. Live like your savior than preaching. Plese tell your Boss to read NIV or KJV. God Bless You.
Why do you think they called him "Slick Willie"....One of the biggest liars ever to walk the earth...
The whole party has - Iraq war, WMD (bearing false witness). Oil and Gas - coveting thy neighbor's property. GW and Dick will be first in line for the hot pokers and the eternal lake of fire. Don't forget "Thou shall not kill". Self defense, yes, greed and world domination without justification - no.
Don't forget "Thou shalt not judge".. You can't pick and choose which commandments you'll follow..
Romney has done a bit of ignoring the Bible also.
The commandment says "Thou shalt honor thy mother and father"
George Romney showed integrity and released 12 years of 1040s....he had integrity.....
Mittens, dishonored his father by refusing to release them
I am amazed at what people are overlooking: Last night the democratic leadership showed their total disrespect for the rule of law and the will of the people. There was clearly no 2/3rd majority yet they forced their will on the delegates anyway. The dems are tyrants who will stop at nothing to get their way just like a spoiled little child. Their true beliefs are being exposed and they WILL be defeated in November!!!
Of course, you are an angry, though ignorant Democrat. Apparently you fell asleep.
affinity-1...you're losing it.
Tell me about it!! The political whores of the democratic party decided to add in God & Jeruseleum. They needed the vote.
Hey Idiot Chalmer - there was no other nominee. Barack is the guy.
Right over your head. I wasn't talking about the nomination. I was talking about losing the Christian and Jewish vote. Dah!
Chalmer...
Not according to the polls....DEMS do well with both Christians and Jews....but admittedly, Obama does not have any magic underpants.
For the Record: Clinton is a liar! He said that the democratic party was for medicare. Interesting because it was Clinton himself that raised taxes on Social Security from 50% to 85% in 1993 with his reconciliation bill. The economic crisis that he blames Bush for was also directly his fault. It was he that repealed the Glass Stegall act that deregulated the banking system and let the crooks (his friends) loose to create the trillion dollar derivative market and the MBO's that destroyed the housing market.
I watched all those clueless faces at the DNC and realized you could tell them any lies you wanted because of the incapacity to reason and draw logical conclusions. The democratic party is all the lost fringes of America. It is the Minorities, illegals, gays, Arab Americans, murderers and athiests. Scary bunch of fools!
You are just composing your ignorance. In order to receive Social Security, you have to pay for it. Social Security is not taxed! Are you a freeloader? Democrats invented Medicare and it was acclaimed in a bipartisan vote.
However, I fooled you. I used facts. Republicans can't handle facts in their universe. Satan rules.
Another moron liberial who doesn't know what he or she is talking about. If you have combined income including your social security that exceeds something like 40,000.00 then yes, your social security is taxable up to 85%. 15% is not taxable. Clinton raised it to 85% from 50%.
I love debating with the irrelavant section of mankind. You know those who lack education and still spout out.
you nailed it...the only thing you mised was UNION zombies and College Marxists...
Not sure what any of that has to do with Medicare but OK whatever.
You are correct on the de-regulation, we know that, we are not proud of it, but we also know that in all the years since nobody has tried to change it when they ob viously could have changed it. So, the Repubs have happily gone along with it. Let's not even talk about NAFTA!
The big difference here, though, is that Dems usually find ways to pay for things, while Republicans don't care how anything is paid for and just keep passing it forward. Remember, Bill left us with a balanced budget, then GW insisted on having 2 wars without paying for them.
Dead soldiers and civilians - with no good reason to show for their deaths - now that is sinful behavior.
If you want to piss off a liberal, tell him a lie.
If you want to piss off a conversative, tell him the truth.
Apparently someone is in love with the paste function. ^^
I adored Paul Ryans visit to Colorado Springs today...Over 3000 people were there and they were revved! The "God and Jerusalem" thing, it really showed who the Demonrats really are...Bu-Bye Obama-Biden...four of the longest years in American history are about to end...Thank God!
Hate to break it to you Broke In Colorado but it WAS President Obama who told them to fix that G-d/Jerusalem oversight so you Bible Thumpers will score no points with that one.. If you were so revved about Ryan stopping by, why didn't you remind him that in the Bible G-d says that "You shall not bare false witness against they neighbor" which is what he has been doing since day # 1. You can't be for one part of the Bible but the parts you don't like or agree with don't count... So if you are going to use G-d in everything you say, then live that life or else you're a $#%^(*& Hypocrite
If you want to piss off a liberal, tell him a lie.
If you want to piss off a conversative, tell him the truth.
Any excuse will do. Republicans are revved about ending Obamacare so 45,000 people a year can die without health care and the insurance industry will get $500 billion in free Medicare money for no reason but corruption. The cherry is, waste, fraud, and abuse can also be brought back for Republican medicare criminals.
Oversight my fattarse...on freaking purpose...STFU EDDIE...how's that for day one!
You can tell to a liberal lies all day long. They don't know when they are being lied to because they don't know the truth. Clinton, Warren and others have been lying to your face and you lap it up.
They don't know they're being lied to because they get all their news from MSM...and their neighbors and the water cooler...ZERO research...Zero effort...
If you want to piss off a liberal, tell him a lie.
If you want to piss off a conversative, tell him the truth.
Little Eddie Munster , you're still flapping your gums after Big Bill took you to the woodshed last night and whipped your ass???? Thought you would still be in the corner with your "Wolfie" doll doing a "time out" for telling all those lies you have been telling lately...
Dreaming...
Your visit with Little Eddie earlier was a Dream Dear... His fake & Fraud ass is done...
You seem a little agitated Eddie...miss a dose?
I seen a funny cartoon today.It was a drawing of Bill Clinton in the oval office. He was sitting in Obama,s chair and Obama was under the desk.And he was saying pay backs are hell. Its just a cartoon but its probably true.
Romney-Ryan 2012
Suppose you are a Republican, and suppose you are an idiot; but wait, I am
repeating myself.
Don't look in the mirror! You might believe what you are saying.
One thing is for sure, Clinton repeats. Did you see all the white stuff in the corner of his mouth. Oh, Oh! could be.
people with bad memories do tend to repeat themselves.
You proved that to be true! Look at your 45.3 and 45.4.......LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kinda the pot calling the kettle black.. Look at your 32.1, 42.5, 43.2, and 43.7.. There are probably more with the same dribble, got bored checking..
Ryan is a liar and a fraud, its that simple, his votes piled debt on top of debt during the first 8 years of the new century
He lied about his marathon time by nearly an hour...who does that...and why...Mr. PX90?
Ryan would not know the truth if it bit him! He has proven that over and over - he is VERY good at looking people right in the face and lying. It seems to come very easy to him.
AM I BETTER OFF TODAY THAN 4 YEARS AGO - YOU DAMN RIGHT I AM! NO THANKS TO REPUBLICANS!!!!
1. BUSH is OUT OF OFFICE (THANK YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA!)
2. The IRAQ WAR IS OVER and MY SON IS HOME SAFE!!! (THANK YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA!!)
3. My TWO GAY nephews are now allowed to OPENLY love WHO THEY WANT and MARRY WHO THEY WANT - THANK YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA!!
4. I will be turning 65 in a couple months and going on Medicare - and I am SOOOOOO Happy that thanks to The Affordable Health Care Act - I will receive NUMEROUS PREVENTATIVE HEALTH CARE services FREE OF CHARGE! AND that damn "donut hole" will soon be closed. THANK YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA!!! It truly IS OBAMA-CARE!!!!!
5. My neice has not been able to get health insurance due to a pre-existing condition, but NOW she is covered! THANK YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA ---- OBAMA-CARES!!
6. WE ARE HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION! THANK YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA!!
And to the lady who had the laundry list of complaints because she lost her job ----- I lost mine also this year - just one year prior to my retirement. But I am NOT blaming President Obama for that -- I blame the DEEEEEEEEEP hole that BUSH and his "let's spend money we don't have to go to a war that was unjustified" ---- And, if you need some "cornflakes" I will gladly send you a WHOLE box.
you are lost...keep telling yourself...it's only a movie, it's only a movie...
Obama's movie 2016...pretty good...
They aren't married. Marriage is a union between a man and a woman not gays. No matter how much you want to rededine the word it will never happen. The word is exclusive.
Clinton caused the banking crisis by repealing the Glass Stegall act. Look it up. You might learn something.
Clinton is the one who raised the combined taxable amount on social security from 50% to 85% once it is greater than about 40,000.00. Bet you didn't know that one either.
Obama care will be repealed and medicare will continue to exist. It will be changed for anyone under 55. Obama doesn't deserve and won't get another term. He's a loser. and he is not what he is preceived to be. Great lines Paul.
Chalmer,
I've read your posts with amusement - some facts, some lies, it happens.
Just want you to know that the only way the Romney/Ryan ticket wins is either by cheating or by another court appointment like GW got (by the way if you truly fact-check that issue, the constitution says that election decisions will come from the State courts, and the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction over election cases, ie, they should have refused to hear the case).
There are simply not enough supid people in this country to allow that ticket to win. Obama will win, and maybe then the Republican congress will start caring about the country and actually pass some helpful legislation.
And since the supreme court is now in the hands of the executive branch, we know where that would lead.
A profile of the democratic party today will show a makeup of all the fringes in America. Now those of us who worked and built this country have to work and take care of those fringes. It's a socialist thing!
Ryan blamed obama for the auto plant closing in his district in wis. Then says he made a promise ,once it was put to ryan that it closed before obama was sworn in , ryan said obama promised those workers that he would not let it close. do you know that the plant that closed before obama was sworn in was in PAUL RYANS DISTRICT / Someone should ask ryan what the hell did he do to save all those jobs in HIS DISTRICT.
Also, pretty sure Obama said "factories like this one" and not "this factory". But that would be factual, and Republicans don't work with facts. They lie 3-times, real fast, and hope the lie takes hold.
You shall know the Demonrats by their lack of biblical knowledge...
You should know they are democrats by their stupidity.
BrokenColorado....
I will accept your challenge about the Bible.
Let's start with this....Who was the only group Jesus hated? (No it was not the Republicans)
The legalists. They were known as the Pharisees.
WRONG, hatred is a sin, and Jesus never sinned.. Once again your knowledge of the Bible is an utter FAILURE.
Posters - it seems that the same posters post on every single article on this site all day long - they are always the same people spewing the same things. Do you people NOT HAVE A LIFE besides posting hate and condemnation? Liberals are always so quick to judge, never listen to another view and the first to raise their voice in opposition to their opinions. Golly try getting out of the house once in a while and breath the fresh air - you might find your demeanor improves.
Thay can't kim...they'd be caught by the work comp PI's and lose their bene's...
Ye Shall know Broke in Colorado by his/her BS and outright lies.. No wonder they like Lyin' Ryan...
