Rep. Ryan: Romneycare no longer 'matters that much' (Paul Ryan defends Romney)
The Hill, Washington, DC ^ | 2011-11-01 | Alicia M. Cohn

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) indicated on Tuesday that he has come around to Mitt Romney on the issue of healthcare.

“Romney’s been very clear that he’s against ObamaCare and he’s going to repeal it. So I for a second don’t worry about whether he’s going to shy away from repealing the president’s health care law,” Ryan said in an interview with The Weekly Standard.

Ryan went on to compliment Romney on a variety of issues.

He described Romney as proving himself “pretty capable and strong and resilient” when it comes to the slew of GOP debates over the past few months.

He also said he believes Romney is “serious about fixing” entitlements including Social Security, as are the other candidates Ryan named, such as Rick Perry and Herman Cain.

Neither do you, Mr. Ryan, neither do you.

Nothing wrong with Ryan’s comments.

1-Romney has pledged to sign the reversal of ObamaCare. He did it on national TV in one of the first GOP debates and has done since again. I’ll take his statement as fact...and work vociferously to dethrone him in 2016 should he renege upon it if given.

2-Kolath, seriously? Rip the tin-foil hat off and breath some fresh air. There is no cabal between “talk radio” and the GOP. No connections in reality. “Talk radio” is no more delivering Cain for the Tea Partiers than the GOP is standing back in some grand scheme. If Cain is the TPer’s great surprise...........then I am mortally disappointed.

The race for the Presidency is about the ability to gain money, kill obstacles and sort of most-of-all..........not shotgun yourself in the foot all the while.

No conspiracies or that carp. Step one is not killing yourself in the process of attacking the opponent. In this year’s GOP roster, that’s the biggest hurdle yet......not yanking your own plug before the MSM can try to do it for you.

God, and that’s a huge problem right now.

"I don’t know about you guys, but if we are stuck with Romney, I would take Ryan over any other choice as VP. Maybe his comments have something to do with a deal."

Sorry, that fix is already in, too:

"Florida Sen.-elect Marco Rubio announced his top staff, which included three former Romney campaign hands. Sally Canfield, who served as Romney's policy adviser, will be Rubio's legislative director and chief policy adviser; Joe Pounder, who was in charge of rapid response for Romney, will be Rubio's communications director; and Alex Burgos, who directed specialty media for Romney, will serve as director of media affairs for Rubio.

If anyone believes ANY republican is on our side.....they’re all in it together. Ryan and Cantor can talk a good game but when it comes to the nut cuttin’, they’ll vote the way the party elites tell them to vote. A third party is the only solution. If it’s not too late.

A third party is the only solution. If it’s not too late.

But ... but ... all we hear when a third party is mentioned is:

"Now's not the time"
"A third party will ensure an 0bamao reelection"
"A third party helps the DemocRATS"

If not now, WHEN? When it's too late to do anything about it?!

Obviously you and several others didn't read the original Weekly Standard interview this piece regurgitated.

That interview says, "Ryan won't be endorsing a candidate during the primary because he's been tapped by the RNC to fundraise for the eventual nominee."

He's in an I-will-not-criticize-them mode. Romney, Perry, "Herman" and Newt came up by name.

Nope: Vampire-Phoney Care is designed to be Tarp II, on the backs of the productive.

Any candidate, of truth, would have already held up constantly a signed legal promise, to EXEMPT by order of the Health Secretary, EVERY citizen, immediately after being sworn in. Just like the discriminatory EXEMPTIONS already given out.

This is being used to secure our debt. To secure the out of control spending. To backstop the number #1 ranked incomes of Northern Virginia, and to keep the current no-collateral lie of a financial paradigm.

Anyone who trusts Ryan after this is a fool.

Ryan is now the declared “wife” of Mitt Romney and Romneycare
and the BIG DIG coverup.

First he appeared with McNuts, Kirk, and Grahamnesty in Libya. Next he hired Romneybots. Folks, looks like Rubio is compromised.

I’d be glad to challenge that statement if you’d want to discuss it a bit.
