My husband was hoping and praying that Rubio would get it, but Ryan was his second choice. He’s really happy about it.

It shows that Mitt Romneys willing to go outside the box of the normal and reach out and grab someone who really gets and understands whats going on with the economy and how to fix it, said Reagan.”
I agree. I think Ronald would approve of Paul as the VP pick.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
humm. We'll see if this helps Romney. Still not thrilled with this ticket. Would rather have seen Rubio.

Even though Senator Rubio is not a natural born citizen? Neither is Governor Jindhal, for that matter.

Laughing to myself at how the idiot Ron Reagan Jr. probably goes around telling people “My Dad would have been a 100 percent Obama supporter...”.

I agree with the statement. It is indeed Romney's first good move. I did not think Romney had it in him to VP a budget cutter and am pleasantly surprised. Had Ryan sought the presidency himself, he would have had my support. As he hitches his wagon to Romney's, I fear for his presidential ambitions. Even as Romney uses Ryan to pull himself up a level, that same pull draws Ryan down a level. Ryan has placed himself in the position of serving two masters; it will be interesting to see which he chooses in the long run.

Once again the bottom of the ticket is better than the top. It is an adequate choice.

No ‘pandering’ to hispanics(or women). We are not backing down with this pick. Biden cannot ‘scoff’ at his opponent like Lloyd Benston did with Quayle. I just don’t see how this country can re-elect the incumbent unless we’ve turned far leftward. If that’s the case we get what we deserve.

Romney's next great moves will be
- Nominate Sarah Palin as Secretary of combined Energy, Interior and EPA Departments
- Nominate John Bolton Secretary of State
- Nominate Rick Santorum Secretary of HHS
- Nominate Sheriff Joe Arpaio Homeland Security
- Liz Cheney Ambassador to UN
- ...

When you have a marshmallow at the top of the ticket, ANYTHING is an improvement. I have/had immense respect for President Reagan but am not sure he would agree with his son. We will see!

Ryan is an excellent choice for Veep. I just wish that we had someone else running for Prez. (sigh!)

I don't know that anyone beyond the small percentage of America composed of communists, socialists, internationalists, and liberal loons *want* to re-elect the incumbent. And we conservative constitutionalists would love to see Obama tossed out on his ear (preferably with impeachment papers or handcuffs). Ryan is a good move on Romney's part -- Ryan is a better man than Romney and that definitely improves the ticket. If this bid for the Whitehouse fails, I can't see it blamed on Ryan, though he would take collateral damage for it. Failure would lie squarely on Romney's shoulders because, quite frankly, he is unworthy to represent the conservative electorate. It won't be a case of Obama superiority, but a case of Romney inferiority. We shall see what pans out.

I read a post at another site that essentially said that our side(Romney/Ryan) needs to put all their chips on the table regarding the state of the economy. And then to articulate this message in a way that any voter could understand. No more sugar coating the truth.
Then, if Obama still wins, the people will have made their choice.
I probably didn’t articulate this well.

“Even though Senator Rubio is not a natural born citizen? Neither is Governor Jindhal, for that matter.”
You need to check your facts. They are both natural citizens. Rubio was born in Miami. Jindal was born in Baton Rouge. Their parents were immigrants from other countries.
They couldn’t legally be VP or President if they weren’t natural citizens - oh, sorry, unless you are the Messiah.

Neither set of parents were US citizens at the time of their birth. Yes, they are US citizens, no they are not natural born citizens, which is what it takes to be president or vice president, except when your name is Obama.

Better than I could have!
To: 2ndDivisionVet
You don’t know what natural born citizen means!
Their parents’ status was irrelevant!
Jindal and Rubio were citizens the moment they were naturally born in this country.
That’s our law, sir.
And why are you trying to disparage them because of their parents?

Seriously? We’ve been having this discussion since 2007 and you still haven’t gotten the word? And how am I disparaging their parents or them by stating a fact? I wish I had a $5 bill for every thread where we discussed this, there’d be a new car in my driveway.
