Paul Ryan came and spoke today.... To say the crowd received Ryan with enthusiasm would be an understatement. In fact, his reception became literally thunderous, as many started stamping or pounding on the gym benches, and they repeated this several times when Ryan made strong points..... Ryan was all substance, avoiding cheap campaign shots yet repeatedly bringing the audience to their feet by making clear, powerful points about energy independence, the need to deregulate, fiscal soundness, the difference between a culture of self-reliance and one of dependence, and the doctrines of Natural Law and the Declaration of Independence. That’s right, he spoke about Natural Law and the origin of rights to a campaign crowd, and they got it. In fact, along with his discussion of energy independence, it was one of the two high points of the event. I can’t remember when I’ve seen a candidate address a mass audience at such a high level and pull it off. But he did.

Hat Tip To Instapundit.com : UPDATE: “Previously, the support of many Colorado Republicans for Romney had been primarily based on the fact that he wasn’t Obama. With his speech today, Ryan did a lot to change that.”......

I guess it won’t be long until Barry’s commie toads in his state run “media” start attacking Ryan’s children. Like Barry, they hate Americans.

Someone shouted from the audience, “Look! No Teleprompter!” Everyone laughed, including Ryan....

I think many are starting to see that if Mitt Romney is smart enough to have picked Paul Ryan as his running mate, then Mitt is smart enough to ‘run’ the country.

While I disagree with some of Mitt’s policies, I did some research on him. He’s one smart cookie! I’d love to hear the media and pundits try to color R2 as dummies. It won’t fly this election cycle.

Romney/Ryan versus Dumb/Dumber.

I was at the Sunday event in Waukesha and noticed that neither candidate used a teleprompter. Getty images moved a photo that showed Ryan’s notes. It was interesting. He spoke from a list of hand-written bullet points.

I have followed Ryan for quite a few years and he has always impressed. He is the rare kind of politician who grows in stature the more you know him. He’s smart and even though he clearly has immense self confidence, he doesn’t let his ego control him.

A smart/successful leader picks smart/successful people to work with them - people who have the strengths in the different positions needed - they delegate, not rule.

If we do OUR part and work our butts off to get them elected - give little barry and his Chi-town commie cronies thepink slip - we CAN restore this great country.

The MINUTE the news "IT'S ROMNEY AND RYAN' hits the streets on election night, businesses will start hiring.

From your posted link about Turning Paul Ryan into "Obama's Shadow". That article said: ____________________________________________________________ Turn policy genius Paul Ryan into “Obama’s Shadow.” Send Ryan to criss-cross the nation to shadow Obama's every move. Wherever Obama speaks, Ryan follows- in the same town, only hours or a day later. Ryan’s job is to intelligently rebut everything Obama says. To call Obama on his lies and fraudulent math. To expose Obama for the phony he is.

Rush said the same thing on his Tuesday broadcast yesterday. I wonder if Rush stole the idea from this guy or vice versa.

Actually, Newt had promised way back during the primary campaign that he would do this if he was the nominee. He was going to show up within two hours at every place Bambi had spoken and give a rebuttal.

The only problem is that Bambi never says anything of substance, but I guess maybe one could call attention to his stumbling, crude blunders (you didn’t build that, for example). Obama’s supporters don’t care what he says anyway. They just start chanting his name. It’s more than a little creepy.

When Romney came to my town a few days ago, a group of Obama supporters were on the other side of the street, holding up a photo of their god and chanting his name again and again.
