What struck me when I watched the speech, aside from the content, was how young and ‘fresh’ Ryan is, how full of genuine hope and energy. Obama had his faux hope the last election and was running against an old man that not even Sarah could pull across the finish line in front, especially since she was being actively sabotaged. This election, the ‘Old Man’ is Obama with his old ideas that don’t work, his old rhetoric, his wornout, exhausting class warfare and race-baiting. Biden is a millstone around Obama’s neck - a past-prime Dem with delusions for 2016 who does not look up to the task of VP, much less president.
Youth, energy, class and good ideas are on the Republican side this year .... I hope it is enough.
“Libs were going crazy on twitter”
Crazy enough for suicide I hope.
You know you hit the target when this is the reaction. Like a wounded, cornered animal, we are hearing The final screams of an animal knowing its time is up.
Ryan had me at “AC/DC to Zeppelin”.

Ryan’s speech was the best of the convention and after tonight’s speeches, I may STILL say that tomorrow. Santorum’s is a very close second.
Paul Ryan was 100% telling the truth, and Sally Kohn is a lying piece of garbage.
Here is the link to the official statement put out by Standard & Poor's a year ago upon the downgrade. Money bullet points, emphasis mine:
-We have lowered our long-term sovereign credit rating on the United States of America to 'AA+' from 'AAA' and affirmed the 'A-1+' short-term rating.
-We have also removed both the short- and long-term ratings from CreditWatch negative. The downgrade reflects our opinion that the fiscal consolidation plan that Congress and the Administration recently agreed to falls short of what, in our view, would be necessary to stabilize the government's medium-term debt dynamics.
-More broadly, the downgrade reflects our view that the effectiveness, stability, and predictability of American policymaking and political institutions have weakened at a time of ongoing fiscal and economic challenges to a degree more than we envisioned when we assigned a negative outlook to the rating on April 18, 2011.
-Since then, we have changed our view of the difficulties in bridging the gulf between the political parties over fiscal policy, which makes us pessimistic about the capacity of Congress and the Administration to be able to leverage their agreement this week into a broader fiscal consolidation plan that stabilizes the government's debt dynamics any time soon.
-The outlook on the long-term rating is negative. We could lower the long-term rating to 'AA' within the next two years if we see that less reduction in spending than agreed to, higher interest rates, or new fiscal pressures during the period result in a higher general government debt trajectory than we currently assume in our base case.
Anyone can read this and very easily understand what a liar Sally Kohn is.
Ryan’s music choices: “AC/DC to Zeppelin”
Obama’s music choice: Muslim call to prayer.
Enuff said.
Twitter is a bunch of celebrities and celebrity followers. Part of the gossip and fame whore generation. MOST of Twitter users aren’t even in America. Childish bunch of nonsense.
Sorry but I find the entire Twitter world to be annoying.
I hope Sally doesn’t take herself seriously as a fact checker. She’s so in the tank with Obama she doesn’t even try to hide it. What the heck is Fox doing hiring people of such low integrity?
Sally Kohn is a typical far-left bull dyke. Who cares what this heeshee thinks? Should stick to parsing Virginia Woolf poems.
As soon as Libs found out about the Twitter poll, they collaborated to bias that poll.
When Ryan speaks, he speaks with conviction, because what he says:
1. Is the truth.
2. Is not a soundbite.
3. Is simple to understand.
4. Is what he believes in his heart.
Obama speaks what he is told to speak, and doesn’t believe any of it, because it is a distraction from his ESPN viewing time.
When the other side is reduced to name-calling, they have lost.
She is a flaming leftist so her response was to be expected.
Anyone that enrages the left like Ryan did is worth paying attention to. They may or may not be a good candidate, but worth a look.
Ryan is Myths Sarah Palin... i.e. Juan McLaim...
Makes it harder for him to take a “dive”..
Have no fear the inventor of Romney-care can still take a “dive”..
The republican party selects very good VeeP’s BUT
sucks when it comes their choice for President..
Must be they want it that way.. “Looser mentality”...
Democrats choose morons for VeeP so their President does not get assassinated..
some freepers sure like milquetoast music..
