Paul Ryan

While I'm not really anti-war, this infographic is informative:

I see Pancho is picking up my slack here.

Carry on.

I think anything but BHO is ok at this point. This country cannot afford the deficit to double again if he gets another 4 years in office. We also cant afford the rediculous gun laws he will try to pass as well.

Our government has gotten much bigger than it was designed to be. The ONLY way for the budget to be fixed is to overhaul the welfare and unemployment programs. 60% of our national spending is to social programs. There are to many free loaders mooching off hard working Americans. Until the countries leadership finds a way to fix that, we will always have these problems.

I'm no stranger to Ryan, his philosophy and his record and I consider this a reasonable decision. The comment shared prior; "serious," I find that to be an accurate characterization of the selection.

While initially I’m reluctant to believe this specific choice will be a game-changer at the polls nationally, it does magnify the fact that a healthy focus on Fiscal Policy will be a cornerstone of any future Romney Administration, a stark distinction from the Socialist regime now in-place.

I think that it is a great choice. I think that he is smart, capable, and if given the right senate and house the two of them can really do some good for the country. I am not crazy about Mitt, but if he surrounds himself with the right people I think that this election cycle could be a bigger swing than the last midterm election. We will have to hope and pray that they can manage to get elected and actually do some good for the country. I don't expect a lot, but if they get in there and do as much as they can and take action to implement sound economic policy, the results will speak for themselves.

I think that Paul Ryan was the best choice that he could have made.

We've also got some good Tea Party candidates coming up on the ballot in the US senate and house. Ted Cruz from TX comes to mind.

And it is a start. A few strong Tea Party candidates this year, a few more 2 years from now...next thing you know the Tea Party might be that viable, strong, constitutionally minded 3rd party many of us want.

But, it has to happen within the current system and it's gonna take some time.

It's a start.

Wow I cant believe I am saying this, but Bailey, well said and I agree. I honestly think it will be way to long a road and that the rep establishment will fight it tooth and nail especially since the rep standard has been drifting left for several years.

Thanks. I'm sure they will fight it. But if it works and it's what the people want eventually they're gonna lose that fight. They lost in TX and a few other states already.

It won't be long until the Tea Part IS the Republican Party.

But it's up to the people to vote for them. The real battle really won't be changing the republican side...though that'll be a fight, for sure. The real battle will be defeating the liberal mentality that's so deeply ingrained in about 40% of the electorate. Hell...you need look no further than to some on this forum to know that's true.
