This past weekend Mitt Romney picked Republican boy wonder Paul Ryan,(R-Wis) to be his vice presidential running mate. Oh the base is so excited.. NOW. They know Romney has been stumbling all over himself in the last few weeks and honestly he’s boring. I have yet to figure out what he stands for, what is his plan, what is his platform?
Paul does have a plan and seems to be the shake-up that Romney’s erstwhile boring campaign needs. The young(he’s 42)whipper snapper is after all the architect of the GOP’s ideas on Medicare, the budget and the national debt. If you been following the Romney campaign you’ll know that his other V.P. choices were absolutely NOT exciting, e.g., Bobby Jindal and Bob McDonald…ZZZzzzzzz.
I have to admit that this dyed in the wool liberal was kind of excited to see Paul stride down the steps of the U.S.S. Wisconsin in Norfolk,Va on Saturday to a lively crowd the likes of which I’ve rarely seen at a Romney event. Danger Will Robinson when your V.P. pick is more exciting than you, just ask old man John McCain how that worked out for him.
Ryan is already thought of as the ideological leader of Republicans in Congress with his so-called Path to Prosperity blueprint of which the centerpiece is ending Medicare as we know it among other controversial cuts that will hurt low-income people. Did you know he’s been in and around Washington since he was 19-years-old but that’s not how he meant to spend his career, “That is not what he wanted to do,” Romney told a cheering crowd of more than 1500 at the NASCAR Technical Institute. “He became concerned about what was happening in the country and wanted to get America back on track.”
Well if he was soooo concerned why is legislative record so thin with only two of his bills becoming law and neither bill of significance to getting America back on track, so Romney you are full of sh*t with this statement. I think even you felt the need to defend such a young career politician. The truth is Ryan is your typical Republican all talk on fiscal responsibility but votes for every spending bill sponsored by some Republican. Everyone knows Republicans are the main ones that GROW government and Paul Ryan is no different, he was right there busting the budget with Dubya and his tax cuts and bailing out General Motors with Obama.
