  2. Over 300 dead Mexicans, going on 6 TRILLION MORE in debt, 5 million lost JOBS, more expensive and LESS health care, over 200,000 small businesses went OUT of business, MORE dead soldiers, started MORE WARS, LESS hope for our black youth, gutting our energy, wants $9 a gallon gas, Obamas American dream….will I keep my job? NOT if he’s president!!

  3. It’s a great choice.
    Ryan is an intellectual who will mop the floor with any journalist who tries to spin or rig questions.

    Dem folks already dumbing down by throwing the kitchen sink of cliches and buzz words at Ryan.
    I could deal with Democrats if they did not insult our intelligence.

  4. Paul Ryan is focused on the core of the fiscal problems and confronting them with real solutions. The Congress in general is either listening to ABBA on their iPods or demagoguing and lying or both.

    I believe Romney and Ryan will drag the Congress “kicking and screaming” into fundamentally restoring America. Ryan is the guy to energize the TEA Party and pick up the middle class voters that Obama has written off.

  5. … And then, President Obama aka the Preezy o/t United Steezy aka dEar Leader aka Chicago Je$u$ aka President FU showing great class and maturity, cowardly flips Ryan off!

  7. I feel a bit better now… Ryan is a good selection. I was in fear we’d get an invade-the-world, invite-the-world squish (kind of like Marco Rubio).

    As Mark Steyn wrote in this weeks column, this election is the last off ramp on the road to (something… can’t remember what). Now if Romney can get a bit more feisty.

    If conservatives are to lose, I’d rather go out with a bang, not another McCain whimper. I think conservatives have a better chance at winning, though, with some blunt talk and honesty about the road ahead and what we need to do to save ourselves and our nation.

  8. I like this pick because Romney needed to do something bold and Ryan has appeal with T party and fiscal conservatives as well as some mid-western bonafides. I worry because the Demoncrats will try to frame him as death to all seniors as they did with the granny over the cliff add in the past. The problem from the Dems is that seniors are not idiots and are generally more self sacrifing than the rest of our populace. They will not just vote their own interests as BHO thinks, they will vote for the future of their children and grandchildren who will see no SS or Medicare benefits in the futre if we dont’ reign this in now. Good pick Mittens…..thank you for having a pair and showing some boldness. I can’t wait for the fall to unflold and at least now we have a ticket that will frame the arguement back on the real issues and not all this personal attack crap the Dems so badly want.

    Ditto!

    Ryan is off to a good start. In a few minutes he showed what Romney has seemed to lack so far. Balls! He´ll run up one side of Obama and down the other. Since Sarah Palin had such a good debate with Joe Biden; imagine what the debate between VP Biden and Congressman Ryan. will be like. It´ll be a massacre, which I will enjoy watching. I´m feeling optimistic about our chances to defeat Obama. With a few more senate seats we´ll be able to right the ship of state.

  11. This is encouraging. And it puts me where I was in 2008: the Republicans nominate a Big Government loser, but, at least that guy has the sense to pick a fiscal conservative running mate.

  13. #10: Peter, maybe I’m getting tunnel vision but a senator that expresses agreement with Obama’s amnesty-by-fiat and expresses a desire to spread freedom around the world (see A-Stan) strikes me as an ideological squish.

    To reiterate my point: we cannot afford to invade the world, invite the world.

    I like Rubio where he is – a better than average senator.

  17. Kevin, you were asleep the night of the Palin-Biden debate. She walked all over him. Don´t try to say he was a being a gentleman, it´s not in his nature. Maybe to him, the debate was no big f**king deal.

  19. Peter@#10: Rubio called his own party racists for wanting to enforce border security (“…if they came from Canada…”). No thanks, not even a little bit. The Democrats can have him.

  22. Rubio’s illegal-immigrant pandering, for Peter H.
    Remember- this is not a floor spech where nobody except CSPAN is listening; this isn’t private remarks to a private audience- this is an editorial in the National Review.

    ” I begin to wonder if some of the people who speak so disparagingly about immigrants would be just as worked up if most of them were coming from Canada”

    “Many people who come here illegally are doing exactly what we would do… there isn’t a law, no matter how restrictive, that would prevent me from coming here…”

    (gee, Marco- I don’t know about you, but I’d be working to make my nation a better place to raise my kids instead of running to the Land of the Free Handout. Myabe that’s just me…)

  23. Read the entire article, David. You have taken it out of context, worthy of the left. He criticizes or ruminates about the vocal minority who speak about illegals as though they ¨were a swarm of locusts . . ¨ He states if he were in living in Arizona he would have voted for S-1069 which authorizes police to ask offenders when stopped to show proof of citizenship. He is critical of illegals who come and have babies in American hospitals and leave with their bill unpaid. He´s not pandering.

    As for me, and I think I can speak for Peter H. I say, Viva Marco!

  25. So, Roberto: What exactlly is “out of context” about ” I begin to wonder if some of the people who speak so disparagingly about immigrants would be just as worked up if most of them were coming from Canada”

    Looks like a straight-up race card play to me, and BTW to a pretty huge number of other conservatives.
    If Lindsay Graham or John McCain had said anything similar, or that they would feel justified in breaking American law to illegally immigrate, you would be the first in line to jump on them. But I guess you don’t have a crush on Graham, so you wouldn’t give him the same pass you do to Rubio.
    (you get the respect you show, buddy.)

  26. Did you really read the entire article? I don´t think so. You misjudge me. If you think that I´m giving a pass to Senator Rubio, I would do the same for Senators Graham and Mc Cain. And to put another spin on it, I know for a fact there are some conservatives who have a ¨knee jerk¨ reaction to anyone from south of the border. By the same token they have an afinity for anything and anybody from the north of us and the east (in other words, Europe) of us. The problem is a lot larger and much more complicated than border security. It is and has been the conduct of our foreign policy with Latin America dating back to FDR.
