    Besides handing Florida to Obama- Heres some fun facts on Romneys choice for running mate >Paul Ryan

    Ryan is the embodiment of the extreme right. All successfull VP candidates since 1900 have run to the center, not the extremes for very good reasons.

    Ryan has only had one job in his life --- Congressman. No business experience no national or state-wide experience and absolutely zero foreign policy credentials. Experience is definitely something that independents especially look at.

    Ryan is a Member of Congress, the only group or agency to actually poll lower than the TSA. Ryan's own unfavorables, like Romney's are higher than his favorables.

    Ryan has long been a lightening rod for seniors --- his attacks on Social Security and Medicare and his attempts to privatize both are legend. But so is his support for the unfunded, individual mandate to force people to buy private insurance or be fined and punished, Medicare Part D. Seniors hate Part D as much as they like SS and Medicare Parts A & B.

    Ryan does not even poll well in Wisconsin with state-wide polls showing him as far below his home district. Walker so polarized this state that it gave him the benefit of the rest of his term only because so many people didn't like the idea of recalling him. But Ryan will likely inherit Walker's negatives.

    Ryan has a legislative history that is close to Romney's --- votes for TARP, No Child, Part D, 2Wars, and the GM bailout

    Good luck repubs:)

    It's about time we get someone with some unique experience. Not everyone gets to drive the Weinermobile. I agree with him on one thing--I think p-nut butter and honey sandwiches are good too. Other than that--------------[​IMG]

    The Navy needs a huge budget cut.

    The US has Twelve (12) aircraft carrier groups.
    This is the best place to start cutting if you want to show that you are honest about the deficit.

    Conservatives can never call Obama a community organizer anymore, because Paul Ryan used to be a waiter in a restaurant on Capitol Hill.

    I got so angry when Paul Ryan said at the Vice Presidential Debate that he wanted to take away reproductive rights.

    Funny to have called Ryan extreme back in 2012. By the way things have gone under Trump, those 2012 "extremists" Ryan and Romney look pretty tame and moderate today.
