Thought we needed this.
Some selected tweets from the usual media suspects:
“Yes, Paul Ryan, the zombie-eyed granny starver” -Charles P. Pierce

Families & seniors want no part of a Romney-Ryan scheme that puts millionaires ahead of Medicare and throws the middle class under the bus. - Debbie Wasserman/Nutjob-Schultz
As an educated, white man in America I look at Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan and realize we have nothing in common. - Actor Ian Duncan

Thank you for the info. I think it is a lovely, rousing song.
Kid Rock is a cool conservative rock star. Who’s Paul Seagar?
Could be. Funny thing is, there are aspects of Biden (as a man) that I like - not all of him- and he can be as mean as the next pol, but there is something endearing about him.
That would be a scandal (LOL) -- he's Catholic and MARRIED, with kids.
But, he's a great guy, and I support him with pride. 4-8 years with Romney and another 8 years with Ryan (or Walker) in the WH, and I can die peacefully, knowing that the country is in good hands. Did you all know that Ryan, Walker, and that sleaze, FORMER Sen. Russ Feingold are all from the same part of Wisconsin?
This article touches on that (written before the pic).

So seniors will be deathly afraid of Ryan’s plan but love obamacare? There are already many proven falsehoods in obamacare that the kenyan will have to explain.
Ryan has a PLAN he must defend. Barry has a 2,000 page LAW & trillion dollar deficits to defend. Big difference.
I think the two issues will neutralize each other and it will come down to the economy. That is why Romney picked Ryan. Ryan will be strong on the economic issues and with suburban women. GOP gets that demo and they win the election.
Sort of like taking in a lost puppy?
To Hell the RINOs and the Progressive rainbow they rode in on. I've had enough of their BS.
I'm liking this guy for 3rd party:

Sorry, but Rubio was way over-hyped. Ryan was the superior choice.
Rubio would have been a disastrous pick. You are correct -- Rubio is 100% pro-illegals.
Ryan is a great pick for Romney.
>>Kid Rock is a cool conservative rock star
It’s cool to desecrate the flag by wearing it, is it numb nuts?
FAIL
You come on a celebratory thread about Paul Ryan with disparaging remarks and insults. ....LOL and you talk about FAIL...LOL
Dunno. Post it ten more times.
"The [my] only connection [to the Republican Party]is I'm registered as a Republican"--Mitt RRRRRomney
Initials R/R! Rolls Royce!!! What a team!
The event was in Wisconsin. A vote for Virgil Goode is a vote for SUPREME COURT JUSTICE ERIC HOLDER.

ABC Wraps Ryan in ‘Conservative’ Tags; No ‘Liberal’ Labels for Joe Biden in 2008
Excerpt:
Ryan, ABC’s team accurately pointed out, is as fill-in co-host David Muir put it, “a favorite among conservatives;” a candidate who “rallies the conservative base,” as George Stephanopoulos later opined.
According to the American Conservative Union, Ryan has a solid 91.69 conservative rating (100% being a perfect conservative score).
But Biden in 2008 had a nearly mirror-opposite ACU score of 12.67%, yet ABC avoided using the “liberal” tag when he was chosen.
Instead, he was touted as a voice of “experience” and foreign policy expertise. As then-co-host Bill Weir set up the August 23, 2008 show:
BILL WEIR: This morning, experience trumps change. Barack Obama taps a senate veteran to be his number two. Why Joe Biden as a running mate, And can his foreign policy clout help the Democrats win the White House?
This morning, ABC fixated on Ryan’s ideology, and his “controversial” plan to cut the budget. Unstated: how Ryan’s supposedly brutal budget includes continued growth in federal spending (the cuts are only in the projected rate of growth, not in the programs themselves), and how even his supposedly stern approach would not reach a balanced budget for years.
Here are the relevant excerpts of the August 11 Good Morning America, with the “conservative” labels in all-caps to make them easier to see:
DAVID MUIR: They’re going bold, no question about it. Mitt Romney, choosing Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan, of course, to be his running mate. We understand that Romney has called some of the other contenders on that short list to notify them that they have not been picked. Paul Ryan, of course, a favorite among CONSERVATIVES....
JON KARL (on the telephone): He’s also somebody who has become a hero to CONSERVATIVES because more than any other Republican in congress, he has driven the Republican agenda to focus on the issue of getting the government’s budget back in order. Dealing with the fiscal crisis. And you mentioned it, Bianna, that proposal on Medicare is the centerpiece of his plan. And, boy, is it controversial....

My 2 cents:
OUR ENEMIES, IN GOVT & MEDIA, WERE ALWAYS AND ARE ALWAYS GOING TO DEMONIZE WHOMEVER THE VEEP CHOICE WAS AND ALL OF OUR SIDE.
AND THEIR GOAL IS TO LIE, OBFUSCATE, DEFLECT, AND DIVERT TO TRY TO DEMORALIZE AND WEAKEN US AND OUR RESOLVE. ARE WE NOT YET ONTO THEIR GAME .. AFTER ALL THESE YEARS OF ALL THESE LYING LIB CRETINS??
WE FIGHT ON!
No, it doesn’t. The incumbent didn’t win due to 40 voters sitting out. He won because people voted for him.
Here’s hoping that Americans are onto the scare tactics coming from the Chicago machine. The wheelchair ad was the last straw for most people. There will always be dumb ass Americans but if scare tactics is all Oblame-a’s got, he’s in big trouble because most people are fed up with being played.
No, I won’t be voting for a socialist. If you wish to by all means feel free.
