Possible Republican VP picks.

[Guest]

Anyone have an opinion on whom Mitt Romney might pick as V.P? http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/04/06/mitt-romney-s-top-five-vice-president-options-from-marco-rubio-to-paul-ryan.html http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57414613-503544/romney-picks-trusted-adviser-to-head-vp-search/

I want it to be Ryan, but strictly because I really would LOVE to see Ryan debate Biden. THAT would be worth any price of admission.

[Guest]

I like the Governor of New Jersey.

[Guest]

Rubio or Ryan with my choice as Ryan IF and I say IF he will take it.

[Guest]

Rubio would be an excellent running mate and V.P. with Romney.

Romney's got to pick someone duller than him which will be difficult trying to find someone more dull - perhaps Portman.

[Guest]

The perfect team: Romney & Palin !

Yes, agree it will be Portman. Willard MUST win Ohio to have a snowball's chance.

So being dull disqualifies someone from being President ?

I will take dull any day with leadership !!! He is not a rock star, if that is what you want in a President...just been successful, thats all !!!

[Guest]

Palin, Ryan, Rubio, Portman, Rice, Christie, Daniels, Bush.....it doesn't matter because the list of VP picks clearly demonstrate that any of them would do a better as a leader than Obama & Biden combined.............

[Guest]

Huntsman...but not likely as there would be two Mormons on the ticket.

Mostly good choices, however Palin would assure an Obama victory.

I would LOVE to see Ryan and Biden debate what should be done in Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, the middle east, Darfur and the rest of Africa. THAT certainly would be worth any price of admission.

Unfortunately, the Catholic Bishops say the Romney/Ryan Budget fails the moral test and probably would lose Romney the Catholic vote.

Willard has already lost the female vote, the hispanic vote, and the black vote. What difference will losing another group make?

Your premise being that NO BUDGET FOR THE COUNTRY is better ? LOL

And I would pay TWICE to see them go on foreign affairs...I KNOW Joe Biden !!!

[Guest]

the video should be mandatory listening/watching.
And once again on a legitimate question for discussion the usual barbs and jabs instead of ANY constructive discussion. It is understandable that some cannot handle thirteen minutes of focus on a given subject.

It is fairly obvious why the opposition would not want to have some one like Rubio as the VP candidate.

Romney will pick some one that compliments his skills and has no need to fear being over shadowed by talent diversity.

Hi eweissenbach: You are probably right. Palin does not have a chance because the elitist liberals will continue to try and burn her at the stake. It is telling when HBO (GE owned) has a separate listing on their HBO Demand menu for the movie Game Changer.

I for one am sick of the vile attacks on people. We are a better nation than that.

And you are right about the debate......would love to hear someone from the administration explain our policy.

You guys are so hung up on the Catholic vote,the black vote, the women vote, the hispanic vote.......THAT IS WHY I LEFT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY......they do not talk about AMERICANS.....they talk about blocs of voters....and the media plays into it.

Sorry..off subject, but yeah would be great to hear the administration talk about all those issues you mentioned although we know about the new Afghan agreement just made...out in 2014 and stay and spend for many years afterward.

So what are Ryan's positions on Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, the middle east, Darfur, and the rest of Africa? Having trouble finding his stated opinions.


VP Joe Biden: elected to the senate seven times starting at age 29
Chairman of the Judiciary Committee
Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee
Vice President

so those are joe biden's elected offices...but it doesn't mean he was/is good at performing the duties of same! ;)

matter of fact, might be said that he was so bad in the senate that he had to be elected vice-president where he could only vote to break a tie ! ;)

You posted it and therefore I assume you READ it all and have an opinion as to WHY it is better than NO budget !! I mean, why would you post something like that without reading and saying WHY you do not like the Ryan budget....which by the way I do not like a lot but at least it is an attempt and a great starting point.

My assumption is that it is because he cut many entitlements

...it'll be Portman or someone else from Florida. I think Jeb Bush has a far better chance of being tapped than Marco Rubio. He's popular in a swing state, far more experienced and competent than Rubio as a campaigner and possible presidential successor, and his involvement in the 2012 campaign wouldn't hurt him at all if he chooses to run in 2016.

I kind of like the idea of Jeb Bush as a VP choice...if he would ever agree to accept the invitation. So far, he hasn't said no, like some of the others currently being touted.

[Guest]

The drawback for Jeb is his last name is Bush. IMHO, most Americans are not ready for another Bush anytime soon. Too bad for Jeb.

Read the constitution, Rubio is not eligble to be VP or Pres. He was born in 1971 and his parents did not become citizens until 1975. Sorry folks, but he does not meet the requirements of a "natural born citizen." He is a native citizen and one violation of the constitution by the current resident of the WH is enough and should have never been allowed in the first place. Either follow the United States Constitution or forget it all together. Your choice.

[Guest]

Figmo, since you seem to be the one who most often mentions this, do you have any references to any court decisions that have defined "natural born citizen" as meaning that both parents had to be citizens? As I'm admittedly not a lawyer, "natural born citizen" sounds, to me, like someone born in this country. Every reference I've found refers to the United States (and a few other countries, like Brazil and Canada) automatically conferring citizenship to anyone born inside their borders.

I'm not being sarcastic - I'm genuinely interested in seeing how far up the "judicial food chain" the definition you talk about has gotten.

[Guest]

There is never any question that all the "anchor babies" born here in the USA to Mexican or other foreign national mothers are "natural born" citizens of this nation. If the babies were not considered natural-born citizens, they would have to become "naturalized" citizens" of the nation by going thru the naturalization process.

Marco Rubio was born here and therefore did not have to become a "naturalized" citizen.

No vice presidential candidate on a losing ticket has later been elected president with one exception - Franklin Roosevelt in 1920.

See: Sarah Palin, John Edwards, Joe Lieberman, Jack Kemp, Dan Quayle, Lloyd Bentsen, Geraldine Ferraro, Bob Dole, Ed Muskie, et al., et al.

No wonder no one wants to join the Titanic Ship Romney.

Of course.....you are absolutely correct as always...he will have to go it alone.

Why do people say such outlandish things and IGNORE the reall issues...wish someone could explain that.

Senator Marco Rubio was born in the USA. He is a "natural-born" citizen, NOT a "naturalized" one.

Amendment XIV (1868)

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Citizenship Through Naturalization

Naturalization is the process by which U.S. citizenship is granted to a foreign citizen or national after he or she fulfills the requirements established by Congress in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).

Well, ilovetv, you will have to harken back to the Birther movement and arguements of Oily Taitz who claimed that Pres. Obama is not a natural born citizen of the USA because his father was not a US citizen at the time time of Pres. Obama's birth.

The Birthers will do anything to try and discredit Pres. Obama but when it comes to one of their own (Marco Rubio) they will say it does not count.

[Guest]

Rubio will NOT be the VP - too many skleletons in his closet.

It's the Senator from Ohio - unless Willard is in a real mavericky mood, then he'll pick a woman. But, the only R female that has been vetted thoroughly is Kay Bailey. But, Willard doesn't need a Texan - he needs Ohio.

None of the arguments about Obama centered on his father's foreign citizenship. The arguments centered on whether he truly was born in Hawaii....or in Kenya and then his mother "registered" his birth in Hawaii.

The arguments were also whether he gave up his U.S. citizenship in Indonesia when his mother married Soetero, and BHO was known in school records as "Barry Soetero", and he had an Indonesian passport with which he allegedly travelled to Pakistan in 1981 when Pakistan was a no travel zone in 1981 for American Citizens. And in 1981, Pakistan was not allowing American Citizens to enter their country.
