Borrowed, Spent, Wasted.

Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney’s running mate, was treated as a rock star tonight at the Republican National Convention – and for good reason.
His soft-spoken manner played intimately, even in an arena of 22,000. When protesters began chanting against Ryan, the crowd drowned them out with thunderous applause. Ryan brought fire to a campaign lacking in it – and he also brought credibility on serious issues.
Democrats will have a significant problem painting Ryan as unsympathetic or insincere. Tonight showed why.

RYAN ‘12
Borrowed, Spent, Wasted.
Ryan gave a sincere, inspirational and powerful speech, clearly defining the central planners vs personal responsibility and freedom.
My favorite quote as well, good times ahead.
Ryan speech made the crew at the MSNBC desk anxious and angry. In a post Ryan speech interview, Scott Walker kept his cool and reminded Sgt. Schultz that Obama was the one who promised to keep the Janesville Wisconsin GM plant open. Scott Walker is cool as a cucumber while under fire from the odd folks at the MSNBC desk! Outstanding!
Paul aryan hit a home run! Amazing speech and the left will hate him because he is honest and real!
Ryan must be into hard rock—he said that his play list ranges “from ACDC to Zeppelin.”
I missed it, who in the hell was protesting Ryan?
There were so many great lines, and so perfectly delivered...Mr Ryan goes to Washington. I’m in LOVE!
“Borrowed, Spent & Wasted”
No, it’s really the largest theft in history and it was done in plain view. The upper tier (The elite) of executives at the banks and companies that got the stimulus money pocketed huge amounts of it. As long as they kickback to ‘the’ parties campaigns the Dept. of Justice will look the other way.
I’m totally in on the Zeppelin...gotta vote for that!
zero must be into the gangsta garbage.

THAT is a first class zinger. Ryan has learned to put a lot of emotion into his speeches without a loss of precision. Love the way he was talking over the applause and keeping it going that way. You know, tonight as he stood there he reminded me of Jack Kennedy at the 1956 Democratic convention. That was when Kennedy was as think as Ryan if not as fit. I even heard some of the same cadences. That was when the Harvard accent dropped away and I heard the Irish come out.
A code pinko got in somehow and got escorted out.
Ryan knocked it out of the park. Everyone in here should be happy about his pick.
Code Pink idiots were protesting.
Lots of Talent coming out of Wisconsin these days. Walker is a very different sort. No great shakes as an orator, but as you say, unflapple.
He not only did a homerun, he hit Obama HARD.
Ryan passed the test with flying colors. He gave a well-paced, articulate speech. It touched all the right chords and was delivered like a pro. He is a man to be taken seriously.
Man crush or girl crush? Lol
Roger that. Was hoping it wasn’t any Paulshivek fools.
Ryan was magnificent. Not since Ronald Reagan have we seen a speech like that one.
He managed to poke fun at Romney in the same way that one of his sons might. Schieffer got that right. Romney likes Ryan. He warms up when he is around the congressman.
Absolutely. This is the first time I've really seen him speak. He is a leader.
The right message from a credible messenger who appears to be fairly honest and can be trusted which is saying something for anyone of either party who has spent more than a decade in the know-nothing, do-nothing legislative branch in D C.
Mittens speaks tommorrow what will be his message? Who will he be speaking to? Ryan can credibly attack Obamacare and can be trusted when he says that he wants to abolish it.
Mittens will have trouble connecting with the middle class on the repeal of Obamacare when his term as a blue state governor of the bluest state in the union was defined by Obamacare when Barry was just a typical Cook County machine politician learning how to game the social welfare state to gain political power and win elections.
I like this one too, and I may be slightly paraphrasing: Obama put his promises on the record and now he says that’s his record.
I was wondering because my son is his age and that’s his playlist too.

One of my favorite lines: “College graduates should not have to live out their 20s in their childhood bedrooms, staring up at fading Obama posters and wondering when they can move out and get going with life.”
Compounded by the accrued debt related to student loans...
Joe Biden is probably already looking for an excuse NOT to debate Ryan in the upcoming scheduled Veep debate.

Looked like a Code Stinker...
Code pink whacko. Didn’t last long.

Would have been a perfect moment for Ryan to say something like, “just a moment folks, while they haul out the trash”.
Its really a good time to be from Wisconsin. Ryan, Walker, and Sean Duffy. Viva la Cheesehead
Can someone post a copy of Code Pink’s press releases from the last 4 years calling for Obama’s impeachment for fighting wars in Iraq and Afghan.

A Code Stinker from Sanctuary City, MD, no doubt.
Now all that’s left is a presidency adrift, surviving on slogans that already seem tired, grasping at a moment that has already passed, like a ship trying to sail on yesterday’s wind.
I liked this one..
Loved his speech! Really took obama to task
Yea, me to, after Conde speech, I thought Ryan might have a tough time, but he did great, particularly liked the line about yesterday’s wind
you can’t sail the ship of state on yesterday’s wind.
I liked that one but also like the one where he referenced living in a country where everything is free except you.
Ac/dc! Obamas got us on the highway to hell!
As my father used to write on the envelopes of his letters: “Go Packers!”
Great speech by Ryan. I saw him at a meet and greet last year. He gave a great talk then too. Articulate, personable, humerous and knows the issues. He’s probably hoarse from campaigning.
I could just could eat Paul Ryan up with a small spoon!!!
Something tells me that if the Code Pinkos had come even closer, that Ryan would have just very cooly laughed them off in that casual, young-guy way he does, and they would have looked even more like the morons they are.
Ryan is BOLD — in a way that even many libs cannot deny. and how refreshing — to have a VP candidate that no one can MOCK, no one can claim is “stoopid,” or any other such thing. This is a VP they FEAR.
MSNBC freakazoids were going ballistic afterwards ...trying to duke it out w/ Governor Walker. They were clearly suffering emotional distress tonight after Ryan’s performance.
I have a feeling Joe may just get dumped at the ‘Rat convention;)
I liked that one too
He seemed a bit nervous in the beginning. As I predicted, he would begin to relax into it the MOMENT he said his first number. If you watch closely, you will see that micro moment. I think it would be helpful if he knew this. Once he is talking any sort of numbers, he visibly becomes comfortable. By the way, I have noticed the exact opposite about Obama. The moment he starts having to spew any number, he gets anxiety attacks. This is why he uttered the famous “57” states. Not at all comfortable with numbers.
