Good stuff! I wish he would have been the first black president. He would have set that bar very high indeed.

it was by no means obvious to most of us beforehand One has to wonder ... Did the elites in the gop-e pull an end run, and make Ryan useless? Most VP's are placed into the useless statistics or a statistic of history.

“One has to wonder ... Did the elites in the gop-e pull an end run, and make Ryan useless? Most VP’s are placed into the useless statistics or a statistic of history.”
Where in the world does this kind of stuff come from? SOME Vice Presidents later become president also. Sheesh

"Anyone who wants to get a quick sense of who Paul Ryan is should watch a short video of a February 2010 meeting in which Congressman Ryan politely, but devastatingly, "schools" Barack Obama on the utter fraudulence of the statistics that the Obama administration was using to claim that ObamaCare would reduce the deficit. That video is available on the Drudge Report.:
Is there a link to that video? I don't see it on Drudge.

Back a decade ago, I was rather sure the first black president would be a conservative. Of course, that was before I realized how much the GOPe really hates conservatives.

Best lines:
This election is a test, not just of the opposing candidates but of the voting public. If what they want are the hard facts about where the country is, and where it is heading, they cannot vote for more of the same for the next four years.
But, if what they want is emotionally satisfying rhetoric and a promise to give them something for nothing, to be paid for by taxing somebody else, then Obama is their man.

Another set of questions are ... Who winds up replacing Ryan in the House? Will Ryan be an active participant in a Romney WH? Will Mr. Ryan be sat down after the election to not speak or write legislation? Lots of questions, and trusting the elites of the gop-e is not an option (imho). gop-e reminds me of democRATs.

One has to wonder where the Toyko Rose “conservatives” around here get their ignorant talking points?
The Benedict Arnold wing of the Conservative movement bitch and whine about the GOP-e when they DON'T pick a Conservative, then they bitch and whine when they do!
Seems to me their goal is not to advance the Conservative agenda but to just mindlessly bitch about the GOP.
Funny thing, that is exactly the same thing the Democrat Party propaganda bots in the media do.
These self styled “conservatives in the whiners choir are the useful idiots of the Democrat Party propaganda machine.

Cripes. It sounds like Sowell is endorsing this team. I thought he was a Conservative? He better not show up around here talking like that...is he a liberal in disguise?

Thanks so much. I'm sending it to my email list.

This election is a test, not just of the opposing candidates but of the voting public. If what they want are the hard facts about where the country is, and where it is heading, they cannot vote for more of the same for the next four years. It is a factor. It is more a test of the ability of the MSM to obfuscate, hide the truth, and control the debate. If the new media can get the facts out to enough people, President Obama loses.
People can only act on the information that they have. Far too many voters still get their information from the MSM.
Freerepublic is a big voice in the new media.

Paul Ryan will be reelected to the House this November. Should he also be elected VP, he would have to resign from the House prior to January 20, 2013. Governor Walker would have to call a special election for early in 2013 so that WI-01 voters can elect Ryan’s successor.

You have to watch an AARP commercial first with this one, and C-SPAN has messed with the part that says SS is being used as a piggy bank, but it is pretty good aside from that.
