Paul Ryan

Well Mittens made his choice, Paul Ryan from Wisconsin.
Discuss in a civil matter.

[Bailey Guns]

Outstanding choice. Our economy thanks him for choosing Ryan.

[SuperiorDG]

Got some reading to do. Don't know anything about him.

[Pancho Villa]

Meh.

His "radical plan" to balance the budget is to grow it a little less fast for a decade and hope no one notices. Also to hope the US economy bounces back - hard.

Hardly radical, though it's convenient for both sides to say it was. I guess Mitt is feeling his lack of chops on the economic side, though. Wisconsin isn't a swing state, is it?

[Bailey Guns]

In this day any proposal to reduce or limit the size of gov't growth is radical.

I understand. There are political realities. But I really do believe we're nearing the point where we either make a genuinely radical change or reality will force that radical change on us.

Wisconsin is a swing state.
I need to do some homework on him as well. I know he and BHO have clashed and he is a thorn in the side to the first degree to the Dems.
Hopefully energizes the conservative base.

Ummm...I think that already happened in Nov 2008.

Good pick, will be voting for Mittens now.

ayep. continuing down teh same road still runs over the cliff.

and no one, and i mean NO ONE wants to face facts.

Ryan isn't a bad choice, but he's not exciting. He is however, serious, which is a big improvement over biden.
