That has always been stunnIng to me. I can't think of another president, 'rat or repub that I can say we know nothing about before they suddenly appeared. Everyone of them, we know details about where they grew up, what their teachers and classmates thought of them, hell with Clinton we even knew who he chased around the desk as gov! Zippy, nothing, zip, nada. Look at the few things we do know:

For whatever reason, he has provided a faked bc.
The people that he "wrote" about in his autobiography as his greatest influences at key times in his life - he made up.
He may or may not have a fake ssn.
He never had a serious job, yet he had made a very nice income, how?

The more I try and list what I do know, I end up with more questions!! How is it that so many people cannot see this??? To me it is glaringly obvious there is a real problem here!!!

Are the Republicans at risk to lose Ryan’s house seat?

Democrats have already set the standard making it OK to run for Vice President and Congress at the same time. So Ryan can stay in and win his Congressional Race and be re-seated on Jan. 5. Then on Jan 20, he can resign his House seat to become VP, and Governor Walker can then appoint a Republican to take his place.

I am humbled by your words and agree 100%. I was concerned I would be banned as JR and others do not agree with our thoughts. However, I guess as long as we don’t lose our heads it will be ok.
Your passion on this shows and others support our views as well.
Regards!

"For whatever reason, he has provided a faked bc."

If you haven't checked out the documentary "Dreams From My Real Father" by Joel Gilbert, I highly recommend it.

next time you see Ryan he will be hlding up a fishing product made in 5 key voting states. He is getting a dozen Bobbers With A Brain and another dozen to give to Romney! The ig fishing states will dtermine the election and our bobber parts are made in Mich, Ill, Ohio and Pa. along with Texas! This is a true american made product and getting jobs is number one in America. taxes mean nothing if you have no job!

Paul Ryan - The next Ronald Reagan

Miff Rummnie - same as John McScream. Another RINO candidate. I am sick and tired of having to vote to KEEP someone out of office instead of feeling good about the candidate I am voting for. Two straight election I will be forced to vote to KEEP someone out of office. Two straight elections with looser RINOs as candidates. Bush was bad enough, but we are now left with these types. Ugggggggggg.

While under “normal” circumstances I’d agree with your excellent analysis (very well stated), I see a different dynamic in this election. Many of the old rules are out the window. This one........is now emotional. Americans are looking to reconnect with their true roots; true Americans who want to see this country reverted back to what it has previously been: proud, independent, entrepreneurial, with a STRONG distrust of central government.

Romney doesn’t bring out such emotions (yet?), but Ryan does.

I believe his selection as running mate may have been a bit of a cynical ploy by Romney and his campaign staff to appeal to the right of the Party, but no matter. It was inspired. Ryan represents and embodies what true Americans really want, and I think his presence on the ticket WILL be a significant changer.
