Little Missy Chrissie Matthews saying Ryans speech was racist and full of dog whistle code speak. Surprise, surprise.
I came in at the tail end of McPain’s talk and am glad I missed McC; he makes KY seem irrelevant, and McPain makes one question the judgment of AZ too.
The speech by VP nominee Rep. Paul Ryan was AWSOME! Great job Rep Paul!
Ryan was awesome tonight.
YES HE WAS !!!!
In football analogy, Ryan 222 - 0bama 0.
We know it is going to be tough. But tough and FREE is worth more than tough and slave.
Best line was about college grads still living in mom’s basement staring at their faded obama poster.
I started watching when Tim Pawlenty spoke: Grade C. Huckabee: Grade A-. Both of them tore up owebama pretty well.
Condi Rice gave a very powerful speech but she never mentioned o-boy. Grade B+.
Susanna Martinez was very good and tore up o-boy a little. Grade B.
Paul Ryan was pretty awesome. He didn’t hit his stride until midway and then he REALLY tore owebama a new one. It reminded me of listening to Ronaldus Magnus in 1979. Yeah, he was THAT good. Grade A+.
Republicans hate women and minorities which is why black and Hispanic females presented prime-time speeches.
I have confidence that when Mittens and Ryan win the adults will be back in charge and the power of the American economic engine will be unleashed again.
Bigger agenda, since the Dems can filibuster
You play the same game the democrats played and use a Majority vote only!!!
Well written. Obama has had his play time protected by the “entertainment” class. Time for adults and leadership.
Once the private sector / small businesses realize they have a pro-free market President who is an ALLY to them instead of an ANTI-American ANTI-free market ANTI-Capitalist President, a groundswell of upstarts and productivity will spread across America like a full-on industrial/tech revolution. 0bama is a cancer in Uncle Sam’s stomach that must be removed!
Ryan fits my profil to a tee, - metal head, workout fanatic, debt fanatic, Ayn radian, libertarian, Henry hazlitt, gold bug , Gen Xr!
I thought Ryan hit his stride right out of the starting gate. One of the best speeches I’ve ever seen. His was calm, clear and concise. Perfect mix of seriousness and humor and his timing was stellar. I can’t quite explain it but his presence is reminiscent of Reagan.. He is the embodiment of passionate patriotism.
I thought he did a good job and connected on several levels. He appeared smart, youthful, energetic, knowledgeable, realistic, properly sober.
If he didn’t connect with youth on the sleeping in your childhood bedroom staring at your faded obastard posters the kids don’t care and can’t be persuaded.
20% of GDP is enough government
His Mom’s small business (unnamed) but he has seen someone work for that (My Mom did similar when I was in high school. It was hard and took dedication and guts)
Not so wild about medicare but he swore to preserve it
Young adults in their 20s staying in their childhood bedrooms staring at faded obastard pictures and wanting a job
Time to fix is short and he should know. We are so close to the end if not at it.
A country where everything is free but us.
Ryan is whom I am referring to.
Portam did a good job.
Condi lost me on the compassionate immigration or whatever that was. Not for it. I’m not so passionate about being the policeman for the world. I’d rather see us as FIRST among equals.
Huck talked too much about huck for me and didn’t have a lot to say. Sounded too much like poor me the loser and failed candidate. Didn’t like that, it was not constructive.
Pawlenty, ho hum.
One of the things that Americans always have is our ability to "move on to the next big thing." Indeed, Americans have the technical know-how to become the first country within 20 years to move beyond wide use of petroleum as fuel. We are now re-discovering the research done in the 1960's at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to create a highly-advanced nuclear reactor that has almost none of the downsides of conventional uranium-fueled reactors--indeed, the radioactive waste from this reactor has a half-life of under 300 years, if the nuclear medicine industry doesn't grab the "waste" first! And we are on the verge of a major breakthrough in electric batteries using dry-electrode lithium-ion and ultracapacitor technologies that could make long-range electric cars finally viable.
In short, what made the USA great was the fact we've had a long history of people willing to take risks to do something revolutionary. It is that very spirit that will ensure America's survival well into the future.
I just watched Paul Ryan’s speech, and it was the best speech by any politician I’ve ever heard. He’s even better than Ronaldus Magnus, and I never thought I’d ever say that. I am absolutely in awe of this man.
Very much agreed with Ryan on spending cuts being needed, but I would like to see much more funding cut than he. He wouldn’t want to cut all of the romanticist, so-called progressive programs and offices (conceived in the mid-1800s, foisted on us more recently) because of his religion/culture. I would rather that all of those were completely abolished (public education, no-fault divorce, etc.: what Susan B. Anthony and her friends desired and wrote about).
Besides, he’s running for the office of vice-president—not a whole lot of influence or duty there. The ticket is backwards (should be Ryan/Romney, in that order, for a small improvement).
Heh...howdy, AQ! You know me (chauvinist/Puritanical, sort of). Wish I’d seen the Ryan speech, though. Maybe it’s freely available on the Net for viewing. [No TV reception up here. We’re doing some work up the hill before winter and did long distance errands all day. This whole bunch of nerds are doing fine here. Hope that you are, too.]
