how about partisan BS aside......I know an impossible notion for some.

How about just focusing.....FOCUSING.....on the following:

Government by consent of the governed.....do you agree with that concept? Not who said it. Not what party it came from? Not any hidden messages. Do you agree with the statement?

Rights from nature and GOD not government. Do you agree with this statement?

Last one; equal opportunity not equal outcome. Do you agree with this one.

I really do challenge the die hard partisans to give their opinion very specifically to the above three. You need not work the usual partisan approach.

If I had to add one more it would be leadership and truth (has sorta a hope and change ring to it does it not?).

And for those who continue to credit Ryan and Romney for cutting Medicare and SS you must not have heard or you are using selective hearing or it just does not matter what was really said....both Ryan and Romney committed to saving both. How convenient.

I believe there is now a ray of hope that we will eventually get to discussing the real issues.

And now the dirt digging on Ryan begins.

All I can say is Ryan's choice is a good one based on the man's background and experience. When one looks at the backgrounds or resume's of the the two it is impressive that one brings none Washington business leadership and the other brings congressional leadership experience.

From a non partisan perspective...some do not recognize there is such a position, but there is.....there can be no argument about character, qualification or capability of the individuals. No R or D required for this type observation.
