Ryan popular?
 
A USA/Gallup poll reveals that Paul Ryan is the second least popular choice for VP ever, bested only by Dan Quayle....Dan Quayle. :laugh:

I'm beginning to warm up to him. He seems to have inspired Mr. Romney to grow a set too. Wow, we may actually have a real race now.

Guest 08-14-2012 08:35 AM

all we need now is for the other side to get up out of the gutter and start talking about issues that matter to Americans for America.

At some point Obama will have to make some noise about the economy and jobs and energy independence for starters. The last three years on these subjects have not fared well at all....no change and no hope so far.

At some point Willard will have to release more tax returns.

Releasing part of one return and an estimated return for another year means he definitely is hiding something.

Willard has not released any complete tax returns.

Guest 08-14-2012 08:47 AM

and that would help the economy and jobs and energy independence.....how?

You know how these things work.......the tax issue for Romney will wind up about as significant as Jeramiah Wright ended up being for Obama.

This quote is from Bill Clinton's Chief of Staff, Erskine Bowles, ONE year ago...

"“Have any of you all met Paul Ryan? We should get him to come to the university. I’m telling you this guy is amazing. ... He is honest, he is straightforward, he is sincere. And the budget that he came forward with is just like Paul Ryan. It is a sensible, straightforward, serious budget and it cut the budget deficit just like we did, by $4 trillion. … The president as you remember, came out with a budget and I don’t think anybody took that budget very seriously. The Senate voted against it 97 to nothing."

Cut This Ad! Clinton COS on Ryan:

Don't count on Mitt Romney growing a set anytime soon. Yesterday he canceled an appearance in Orlando for no apparent reason. Could it be that he was afraid to explain his cuts to Medicare to seniors? Then Romney traveled to Miami and never mentioned Medicare or Cuba.

Congressman Paul Ryan will be traveling to central Florida next week-end to explain his cuts to Medicare to seniors.

I think it is quite obvious to any thinking person that Romney has basically conceded the loss of Florida to the Obama team for November. Wow, that is 29 electoral votes down the drain for Romney!

Guest 08-14-2012 11:10 AM

The CBO estimated that one version of Ryan's plan, passed by the House last year, would increase retirees' out-of-pocket medical costs by about $6,400 annually.

well, obama was popular - and look what happened to us there! the majority of people today believe that the country is headed in the WRONG direction!

seems to me that not being popular might be more of a benefit to us that obama was/is!

If people do not read and understand the Ryan plan, and it is a plan and not a budget that will go into place should Romney be elected, and listen only to pundits and people who do not want to know....that could be the case.

For me, personally, as long as this country faces the fact that these things ARE GOING to need to be addressed, if that cost votes, so be it. I am an american first, and I KNOW we need to do these things as does Obama. He just will not talk about it and cost votes.

Soo.perhaps you are right...I assume you do know that the Ryan plan, and again, it is a plan, not carved anywhere...but anyway, you do know I assume that it will not, can not affect anyone in the country over 55 ? I assume you know that and I assume you have read the economists read on the future of these plans and know that his is based on facts that are not disputable at all.

If it cost votes and people get a real idea of what is going on, that is fine with me.

Must surprise you that I feel that way, but this country is in deep financial trouble and it must be addressed and will need to be addressed.

Votes you can recover later.....our financial doom is a one time thing.

Take a gander at this link and tell me that the majority of people believe the country is headed in the wrong direction.

The link shows that the Romney/Ryan team would lose big time if the election was held right now.
