Idea for GOP Campaign:
Our Country Needs Some R & R.
Vote Romney and Ryan to stop government over-spending and get our economy on the Right track.

Ryan with wife Janna and family

 

Good looking family get them out on the campaign trail. Paul Ryan looks youthful and dynamic. He runs each day so is athletic. Full head of black hair same as Mitt. The visuals are all very good and much better than the two mangy mutts Obama and Biden. Biden is a white haired bald head stooge while Bammy is going gray himself and looks mangy (worth mentioning twice)

Ryan is going to make Biden look like an even bigger idiot—if that is possible—than he already is during the VP debate...

...look for Crazy Joe to suddenly want to spend more time with his family soon—and PIAPS being begged bullied and bribed to be Obama’s number two.

Once again conservatives are left voting for the Veep instead of the Potus.

And good thing CNN is still on narrative as Blitzer says Ryan will hurt the minority vote.
He's not Hispanic, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Canadian, and New Yorkese.
And any other minority block that I've completely forgot about according to Blitz.

Like in 2008 there will only be one VP debate.

I voted for Palin in 2008 and I will be voting for Ryan this year—don't give a hoot who was or is on THEIR tickets.

If you don't vote for Ryan you are voting for Obama...

...sounds better don't it.

ROMNEY-RYAN

Paul Ryan + Mitt combination just might up the white vote for them. More so than if Mitt had picked a black or Hispanic VP. The white vote is not static and can easily make up for the theoretical minorities lost by picking Paul Ryan

The white vote still dominates our elections. What we need are more white females voting Republican

The VP debate will be similar to a first round NCAA basketball match, where the top seed faces the lowest seed. No, Joe, you’re not the top seed.

Good choice. If we have victory, he will be missed in the House.

He will be President of the Senate. We need him even more over there.

Crow Stroganoff
Remove breast meat from the bone. Slice into strips about 1/2”
thick. Place in a pressure cooker with several cloves of garlic, 1/2
cup diced onion, 3 cups of water, 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper,
1 teaspoon dried lovage leaves (can substitute 1/4 cup celery). Cook
under pressure (10 pounds) for 30 minutes. Cool. Remove and
discard garlic. Add broth from 4 oz. can of mushrooms. Adjust
liquid to measure 3 cups. In a shaker mix 1/4 cup of flour with 1
cup cool broth. Heat remaining broth and add flour mixture;
simmer until thickened. Add meat and mushrooms and bring to a
simmer again. Just before serving, remove from heat and add 1/2
cup sour cream. Serve over noodles or rice.

Soccer moms. They elected Clinton.

Women also elected Kennedy. Several point gap in favor of Rats among women voters.

That’s why Palin was attacked so viciously. They can’t allow Republicans to close the gender gap. Women voting stupidly and minorities voting for handouts is the backbone of the Rat party.

Agreed. As I said on another thread:

I’m tired of upside down tickets. 2008 should have been Palin/McCain, and 2012 would be much better as Ryan/Romney (although better still with Romney not even on the ballot). Still, our choices are what they are. If Obama wins, there is less than a 1% chance of America surviving as a free country until 2016. If Romney wins, the destruction will be much slower, and we will probably have a 50-50 chance of reversing the slide after 2016. That’s a huge improvement, and probably the best chance we have left.

“With him on the ticket, the pubbies will be blasted by Bam and the MSM for cuts to social security & medicaire (the third rail of American politics)”

Zero already cut a substantial amount of money from Medicare for Medicaid. Should counter any zero arguments.

I don’t know I agree it was a poor choice. Yes, there would have been pandering reasons to run with a minority or woman choice to pick up votes, but given that Romney has something of a political rather than principled reputation (not hard to see around here), it wouldn’t have done his base any favors.

Sure, one could have gone with Rubio, but the man appears to have baggage, and he has minimal exposure on the national scene. It would have looked like 100% pander.

Ryan does a decent job of locking up the base as I cannot think of any conservative who doesn’t like him. He is a very smart, focused individual who stays on message. Also with Wisconsin possibly in play at the moment he adds to that part of the calculation.

Now there is no doubt the Dems will demagogue the heck out out this with even more granny thrown off a cliff BS, but let’s be honest, either the populace grows up and faces the situation, or we’re toast, and any serious GOP contender better be willing to point that out and follow through.

Anyway, Romney already endorsed the Ryan plan, so he’s ‘vulnerable’ to any associated charges already. He might as well buy all in.
