In choosing Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney made a fantastic choice and a bold statement to the American people.
Paul Ryan is a nationally tested leader that is widely known and respected. "The Comeback Team" – the name already given the Romney-Ryan ticket – is both an appropriate definition of the primary mission of the Romney Administration and how closely they will work together to accomplish Romney's agenda to restore America's economic vitality.
Ryan is highly intelligent, a bold reform minded leader with firmly grounded principles, extremely experienced, and a proven leader. His selection as the Vice-President is the clearest possible signal that the Romney Presidency will be fully committed to get America's fiscal house in order and restore this nation to sound, long-term, growth-oriented economic policy.
Ryan is a great match for Mitt Romney's own experience, background, and the most important issue confronting the nation – restoring our economy. Romney-Ryan is likely the best matched "team" that has been on a national ticket in a very long time.
Ryan is also a rock-solid social conservative that fulfills a promise Romney made about his choice for Vice-President. The 68 million Roman Catholics in America – and all defenders of the First Amendment - assaulted by the Obama Administration's attack on their religious liberties by ObamaCare should be thrilled to have an ardent practicing Catholic on the ticket.
It was my privilege to serve with Paul Ryan in the House and on the Ways and Means Committee. Ryan's vast experience and bold, reform minded ideas were always evident. His knowledge of the federal budget is widely recognized. Importantly, though, it was his notable grooming as an assistant to Jack Kemp, Bill Bennett, Sam Brownback and Bob Kasten that fueled his natural intelligence, curiosity, and conservative principles.
Charles Krauthammer has lauded Paul Ryan's "Reaganesque" qualities; he's right. This is a bold pick that will give America the greatest, most experienced leadership team we could have assembled to tackle the most difficult problems America has faced in a very long time. America's Comeback has begun!
This is the happiest news we’ve received since Sarah announced that she was not going to run for President. (for me - it was)
Who gave them that name?
Get back to me when the embodiment of Reagan is running for POTUS, not merely propping up a supporter of legalized sodomy and engineer of socialized healthcare.
I hope it's dropped as quickly as it emerged from the comics pages.
BAM! POW! WHAM!

...now if Romney and Ryan would just announce that they plan to make John Bolton our Secretary of State they will 86 all attacks on their lack of foreign policy experience.
He has one very large flaw. Ryan is another Open Borders enthusiast who has cosponsored five amnesties. He has the same indifference to massive immigration that Dubya and his crowd possesses; their idea of “reform” is to legalize illegals and to greatly increase legal immigration.
Evidently not one of these GOP geniuses can see the connection between the demographic transformation of California and the state becoming a permanent Democratic bastion.
Does America need to be populated by the historic American people? Apparently few in the GOP think so, even though it means the extinction of the party just like has happened in California.
Michael Reagan was on Fox and Friends this morning and said more or less that Paul Ryan is like his father and that he would have approved of him. That says a lot imo
You’re full of it and you know it
“You’re full of it and you know it”
I like to collect the sayings of fools. Thanks for adding one more gem.
I agree with you that R&R have to defeat Obama.
My point is that conservatives, especially ‘immigration patriots’ need to know what they are likely to get. R&R could turn out to be as big a problem on amnesty as Dubya was.
For those who have been following the shootings and looting and street mobs in Anaheim Ca, it is the result of years of rewarding illegal immigration. Much of north Orange County, once a Reagan stronghold, has been transformed into a gang-infested and crime ridden province of the third world.
Have fun with your sodomite loving socialist. You can wrap him up in pretty paper and cover Willard with glitter, but a pig is still a pig.
Also tells us good things about Romney's ability to pick a first class team. Romney knows what to look for - and he's not afraid of choosing the best... unlike Obama who went with someone who would fawn over him... Biden's a fool, but he's Obama's fool...
Great pick!

It’s illegal to announce Cabinet picks until after the election.
Eddie Haskel, huh? Chuckle.. how true! That’s a good analogy you have there! Sadly, we do need a wise Ward Cleaver to come in and straighten the “Eddie Haskel” we have in there now, wouldn’t he? You know, I’m wishing Herman Cain could’ve gone further than he had; he could’ve been the “Ward Cleaver” to straighten out the “Eddie Haskel” we have in there now!
