    This may be the best VP pick in my lifetime:

    The following is a brief biography of Rep. Paul Ryan, selected to be Mitt Romney's running mate.
    Political
    * Currently serving seventh term as a member of Congress.
    * Ryan was little known outside Janesville when he ran for
    Congress in 1998 at age 28. He captured 57 percent of the vote.
    * Ryan's first budget plan, which he called "Roadmap for
    America's Future," was released in 2010.
    * Early in his career as a representative to Congress, Ryan
    held office hours in an old truck he converted into an office.
    * Ryan was the legislative director for Sen. Sam Brownback
    of Kansas, 1995-1997.


    Personal
    * Born and raised in the community of Janesville; Ryan is a
    fifth-generation Wisconsin native.
    * Ryan moonlighted on Capitol Hill as a waiter at the Tortilla Coast
    restaurant and as a fitness trainer at Washington Sport and Health
    Club.
    * One of Ryan's summer jobs in college was as an Oscar Mayer
    salesman in Minnesota, peddling turkey bacon and a new line
    called "Lunchables" to supermarkets.
    * Ryan worked as a marketing consultant for his family's construction business before being elected to Congress. The company -- Ryan Incorporated Central -- began as an earthmoving business created by his great-grandfather in 1884.
    * Ryan's hobbies include hunting and fishing. He is a bowhunter and belongs to his hometown's archery association - the Janesville Bowmen.
    * For fun, Ryan noodles catfish, catching them barehanded with a fist down their throats.
    * Ryan listens to Rage Against the Machine and Led Zeppelin

    In the political sense, this could read:

    For fun, Ryan noodles Democrats, catching them barehanded with a fist down their throats

    Ryan seems fine to me, but I really think the VP choice is overrated. Heck, even Beeho got elected choosing one of the stupidest idiots of all time.

    I gotta say I would take the frikin shoe off of my foot and vote for it before I ever placed a vote for the current idiot in charge, My dog would make a better potus than BHO. I am tired of being lied to every time he opens his mouth. I am willing to trust someone unproven over this idiot that has already proven himself. I guess you can tell which way I am voting regardless of who is VP or not.
