Romney/Ryan Unveiling & Speeches
— Ace

On all the cable networks now.

Thoughts: Mitt was weaker than usual, and that's too bad. This was a big moment; couldn't he have prepared something strong?

But Ryan's moment was the more important one, and he was very, very strong. Stand-up triple.

Via @DrewMtips: Romney actually made this choice August 1st, told Ryan August 3rd. But they were able to keep it silent until yesterday night.

14 I am getting more and more jazzed about this pick and this ticket.

They are going lay it out.

Two visions.

One where Americans can stop the slide into oblivion.

The other where the slide continues and the inevitable breakup happens.

Yeah like his collection of wifebeaters. I could look at them all day long, on his fantastically hot bod, that is.

18 He's smart, articulate, young, and good-looking. Aren't those all the things that had voters out in droves for Bammy in 2008? The only difference being that Paul Ryan is whiter than white, of course. And a very lovely shade of pale it is, too. Alabaster.

Yup. Most of the low info indie voters I knew who voted for preazy in the Philly collar counties did so because McCain was "old". Who old an' busted now, bitchez?

48 I don't get why being decent men is a liability. Romney has shown backbone and Ryan is a policy wonk. Boring but steady and firm.

McCain tried to run a "nice guy" campaign but everyone knew McCain is, and has always been, a self-serving backstabbing sucker of Donkclock. We knew it, Manhattan media knew it and swing voters knew it.


Slick, grainy, blue color-timed PAC ads featuring Obama as a smiling, smug and aloof villain. German film noir existentialism.

54 From TWS sidebar link: >>He is saying, in effect, that the American experiment, our 236 extraordinary years of self-government, is on the verge of failure. >>And yet Ryan is smiling. It’s not the phony grin of a politician seeking votes, or the half-smirk of a charlatan putting one over on a group of rubes. It’s a real smile—the eager smile of someone excited to share important news. Paul Ryan believes he has the solution to these problems. That vs. 'you didn't build it'.

As somebody said upthread, Wisconsin is now ground zero to save America, who better to lead that charge than Paul Ryan?  His district in southern Wisconsin shares a border with the corrupt state of Illinois, he's had years to watch the chicanery and see where it leads (graft, gimmes, and eventual bankruptcy).

226 I was running a lemonade stand when I was six and believe in hard work, God and all things that make America great.   At first, my heart fluttered when I heard that Paul Ryan would be picked. But in another room, I heard my grandmother crying.   "What's the matter, grandma" I asked.  She was shaking.  "I worked all my life sewing buttons in the coat factory so that I could retire and play with my grandkids, but what happens I get sick?" she asked.  Then she explained how Ryan would leave Medicaid up to the states to privatize and all she could hope for was a first aid kit. Why would anybody want an old lady to suffer?  I understand how maybe Romney couldn't be responsible for Mrs. Soptic dying after Bain looted her husband's company, but stealing directly from my granny's tax-investment in her healthcare is going too far.  My grandma loves horses, but she never owned one that dressed up, danced and drove around in a car that had it's own elevator.

After spending weeks looking into Ryan's history for The New Yorker, visiting his home town, and interviewing him twice, I am genuinely surprised that Romney chose him. First, letÂ’s tally the risks of a Ryan pick.

For one thing, Ryan has no significant private-sector experience. Besides summer jobs working at McDonaldÂ’s or at his familyÂ’s construction company, or waiting tables as a young Washington staffer, Ryan has none of the business-world experience Romney frequently touts as essential for governing




No private sector experience is now a negative? It's a good thing that Barry is just rolling in it. And funny how the New Yorker spent weeks looking into Ryan's history but not 2 seconds into Barry's

246 Weird, Obama made the same "next president" mistake introducing Biden in 2008. Posted by: Jon at August 11, 2012 09:39 AM (t2DGr) It's just because they are so used to saying and hearing "next President" from campaigning, and announcing the VP is the first time they have to say "next Vice President". it's a muscle memory thing, I bet.

Worse, give the Choomer-in-Chief authority, and he really stumbles.

293 H on "We need more solyndras" by the greenies

zdrah-stvooy comrades!

Da you have tapped into why wonderful nation’s current business plan is so brilliant! The goofy big eared usher from DC Disney came by Sub factory today and said that his good friend the magic money motion man Sore Ohs says he needs to make the nice tree molesting girl upstairs happy. “Er uh how do I uh ah ah kill two birds with one stone H?”

I was stumped but once again to buy time H gave Big Eared Usher 48oz lemonade against orders of Comrade Bloomberg to buy time.

“You can kill two birds with one stone by putting stone on front of rocket and bouncing stone off the birds at mach 17 comrade Usher,” I finally said needing him to get the hell out of the way from the crowd developing around corner because Usher is not letting the line move blocking sales and my ability to sell comrades subs from factory and getting money to help the nice farmer comrades by MY buying submarine fixings.

Using his vastly superior to my judgement Comrade Ushers wandered off muttering something about Green(his favorite color in world) shoots progress I finally got to get line moving so nice Rocco Lampone will get his vig and not burn down my sub factory.

Question: If the nice comrade in the articles’ paradigm is correct and ideas or products that man with business sense of a drunk dog chasing its tail to eat steak I tied there gets to pick winners and losers because “we attract private money” to build rocket to put rocks on does not it make sense to let market decide and force efficiency in rocket production so nice girl who molests trees doesn’t make a rocket with very useful outboard boating motors is an attempted answer?

I am so confused, Usher and Bay-Dan man who wears sable stapled to head are against spending on glorious military that helped Usher single handedly kill some rat who kept scaring UshersÂ’ clients named OsamaÂ…..

but if fans of allowing venture socialism are not bothered by paying 1/2 billion dollar for imaginary solar panels like I made for profit thanks to nice 245,000 investment with Ushers campaign in Â’08 why are they REALLY bothered by spending money on the mouse catchers in digital cammy uniforms having a low rate of return in cash flow but high return in R+D subsidy?

347 Something I've notice about Romney in the past couple months, he appears really eager and excited. He's the one that smiles the most, he's the one that can't wait to mingle in the crowd and he's always fast walking everywhere. You never seen that from him prior to say May.

368 several questions on this since Ryan is a House member up for election in 2012:

Will he resign or run for both offices?

Does the Governor get to replace WI politicians who do not finish their term?

These are necessary questions because it is too late to run a new primary in WI for the fall election for District 1.

We could very well wind up losing a sure R seat in the House.

479 Forgive the Politico link: It was Paul Ryan’s abs that sold Kevin Brady. “When I saw Paul Ryan — man, he’s gotten in great shape. He doesn’t have a six-pack; he’s got, like, a 12-pack,” Brady, a Texas Republican, says of his fellow GOP-er, who hails from Wisconsin. “And Heath Shuler said he was in the best shape he’d been since his football days,” Brady adds, referring to the North Carolina Democrat’s stretch as a quarterback in the National Football League, “and I was really impressed with that.” Inspired by Ryan’s rock-hard core and Shuler’s gridiron-ready condition, Brady has joined the growing legion of legislators who have shelled out three easy payments of $39.95 (plus shipping and handling) for the privilege of pushing their limits with the P90X workout, a 12-disc home boot camp routine that has become something of a craze on Capitol Hill.

484 Excellent pick.

The Dems will try and claim that this plays right into their hands, making this election a "choice" between two philosophies.  Since the choice is between America and communism, I like those odds.

Contrary to the troll above, this also shows me that Romney believes he has the advantage, and can afford to put a national asset on the ticket, rather than someone that helps him with Ohio, Virginia, or Florida.

He has tapped someone who can set the groundwork for the necessary changes to fix the mess of the last 4 years, rather than just help him win the election.

Shows me that Romney is a strong candidate, willing to run with someone equally strong.  Unlike Obama, who chose someone so incompetent that he would never be a threat to his ego.

489 468 Eman,

Romney now has a man to help with short answers that kicked Obama in the balls so hard he put on the humble and was cowed.  Mitt is going to have to have short answers that do not wander off the point that every gift from Obama carries a price tag and every price tag hampers the ability of the free market to continue to grow.

We need to emphasize that this country was built from trees with bunnies, squirrels, and teepees when confronted, into the society that at one time put people on the moon and now is happy merely to land a nuclear powered scooter on mars using a power source that is clean and renewable that the administration will not let us use to fuel growth for future generations and all Americans today.

Tie Obama to the EPA's economy hampering antics make it real, get roughnecks from every persuasion on the stage and have them tell the American people what they do what they care about and the hurdles this government puts in their way of keeping your way of life going......

Obama is hiding a lot of vicious debts to very radical interests like the no growth sierra club behind a smile and vague promised of hope and being a better referee between some imaginary fight between business people and workers.

We can remind the American people that prior to that 8 year temper tantrum about the war the democrats are adding to in Syria and other places we had decided that welfare spending should be tied to work and that it was better for people to follow their dreams rather than have to have the federal government as an unwanted partner and coach in what those dreams should be.

We'll win

525 Good pick. On the Saturday morning announce: could they be trying to bypass the professional media? If most people are hearing about the pick through word of mouth or social media and not through some newscast, doesn't that limit the media's ability to slap an instant subconscious frame on Ryan, complete with tone of voice, body language, visuals, etc, because people just aren't watching tv? Might work, even. Lets the first impression gel with a minimum of actively malignant framing.

536 The good news of this is that Ryan is intelligent and young and many people thought of him as a possible future President-in-training in 2008. If he and Romney can turn things around 2012-2016 and, God-willing, 2016-2020, this sets Ryan up nicely to run for President in 2020. The bad news of this... The problem with picking Ryan is that we lose our best Rep in the House. We need strong leadership in the House and someone who knows their stuff and will push to get good legislation through. Losing Ryan from there hurts. It's not enough to just win the Executive Branch back, we must win both the House and Senate back AND have strong conservative leadership there. Ryan actually serves us better as a leader in the House than as VP, where he won't do much as far as legislation goes.

Seriously, though, here we go.  We are going to find out if this country is serious about it's future or not.  For all those who slam on the Ryan Plan as not going far enough, it's the furthest out there any politician has gone.  If we cannot accept even the modest reforms Ryan proposes, as noted above, lights out, time to go home.

I agree.  I'm optimistic.

 

The only obstacle is people who only listen to half the argument.  If the DNC's demagoguing works, and oh will there be demagoguing (herds of old bitties rolling over the cliff at the whips of the Republican overlords), then we they'll only get half.

 

Thankfully, the left's bullshit attacks seem to be backfiring and suggest that this tactic won't work.  If they're forced to confront reality, they're fucked.

553      It will be interesting to see how Ogabe counters.  Does he try to out-bold Romney by going bi-partisan?  Would Condi or Colin run with him?  The first all-black ticket!  You'd be doubly racist to vote against it.  It would also balance Barack's white half that's been alienating his base. 
     Hillary is as option, but her performance as SOS has been less than stellar.  On the other hand, she's obviously comfortable having Muslims with radical associations near her.  And she's an Alinskyite.  So there's that. 
     The only thing that seems certain is that Slow Joe has to go.  It just gets curiouser and curiouser.

Yeah because AARP won't lie lie lie lie lie about that.  The thing is that Ryan is upper end Gen X and Gen X has been told all our lives that Something Must Be Done about Social Security and Medicare.  Ryan is willing to say what that is.  I am hopeful that will resonate.

561 Oh, and OT, but I wanted to update on my Brietbart half marathon challenge:

I had a bit of a set back last month when my doctor found I have very high blood pressure, but the medication is working, so I'm doing great.  I had to cut back on running until the medication took effect.  The last few weeks, getting back into it I've had moderate knee pain.

But yesterday I finished the first full week of my new schedule, run a 5K on Monday, weights on Wednesday, longer run on Friday.  I was able to run 6.5 miles and have no pain in my knees at all this morning.

Knock on wood, I think I'm back on track.  The first half marathon is in 3 months, early November.

I just honestly disagree because there is ample evidence that Ryan possesses great skill when it comes to numbers and certain aspects of domestic policy. Also, while Ryan has often worked with Camp, he has worked just as often with Hensarling (if not more).

True dat, Ms Stompy Boots.

One also hopes that Romney and Ryan will be able to sell measures even stronger than their current plans when -- not IF, but WHEN -- they realize that the Choomer-in-Chief has done more damage than we currently know.

No one, including us, is going to be totally comfortable with what has to happen in the very near future. But the Two Rs are smart enough to figure it all out. It's down to the public whether they succeed, or we simply jack it all in and watch the country collapse.

Joe,

 

I know you've enjoyed my relationship with you the past 3.5 years I've been President of the United States of America, and so have I.  But I feel the time has come for me to make a change to my team that can more effectively achieve my goals.  It is therefore my pleasure to inform you personally by this e-mail that I wrote that I will make you a key player in this necessary transition.

 

In Charlotte, I will be announcing my new running mate and you will hand over the torch of the Vice Presidency to your successor.  Rest assured, I do not make this decision lightly and it has nothing whatsoever to do with my opponent's choice in running mate.  I just feel that my plan requires your unique talent and abilities elsewhere, and I will be sure to let you know where that is as soon as possible.

 

Keep up the good work!

 

Your Leader,

Barack

615 Re: 611, 581 sven10077 So are we are in agreement: That which is unsustainable will end - by definition. I'm enough a student of history to know that the end can be cataclysmic or merely uncomfortable. I vote for uncomfortable over cataclysmic. A lot of seniors are comfortable and afraid of change. It's a real challenge for Ryan to make clear to them that nothing he has ever proposed will hurt them financially (although personally I see no reason that they shouldn't share some of the burden to realign entitlement commitments with our ability to finance them). I find the whole idea of people who will soon be dead condemning their progeny to misery out of a sense of entitlement to be utterly repugnant, but some seniors feel very vulnerable and they have a far greater faith in the ability of younger people to adapt than their own capacity. I think Ryan is up to the challenge and can make clear to them that entitlement reforms will not affect them directly and the ones who will be affected by it both expect it and want. re: your post 611 That's exactly how it needs to be explained. I'll take a hit for my kids so they have have access to a sustainable retirement system, but granny don't try to block what doesn't affect you.
