Ryan to wait until 2016 and run as the person willing to clean up the Bush-Obama mess????

Too bad Ryan voted for everything Bush wanted...Ryan was part of the Bush mess...

Excerpt from an earlier post by cottenjoe-

"Mouse, at least your consistent. Consistently illiterate"

I really try not to criticise EVER someone else's grammar, spelling, or punctuation because when I do, I usually make an error in the very sentence I've written. The sentence above contains one of those errors. When using the contraction " you are" the correct spelling is "you're". I seldom point this out to posters but your words to mouse were so rude
that I couldn't stop myself.

I doubt Ryan would accept the VP spot for 2012. Even if he has Patomac Fever, I think he is smart enough wait until 2016 and run as the person willing to clean up the Bush-Obama mess. None of the Republican Presidential candidates stand a chance of winning this year and Ryan wouldn't benefit by the mud-slinging of the current campaign.

If he were to run a decent campaign (schedule multiple debates with any opponents, and denounce PAC ads), I can't think of anyone who could beat him in 2016. He isn't politically chicken, like Bush1, or a perv like Clinton, or a puppet like Bush2 or a party hack like Obama.

Hah. Now there's proof we still mistake vultures for turkeys.

Mitt Romney just said on Jay Leno. That people with pre-existing health problems should be denied health insurance. This guys is a complete moron.

There is no "best" republican candidate!

Is Pick-Pocket Paul Ryan interested in a Vice-Presidential bid at this time? Does he feel his district slipping away? Do your older neighbors support him? Do your middle-class working "poor" neighbors support him? Do the wealthy "elite" media support him? Do Wall Street tycoons and insurance companies support him? Does he support bread and butter issues which effect you on a daily basis?

Yes--forgot to say , but it was already mentioned-->Vote for Rob Zerban. Ryan needs to go!

Good point on one TURKEY that is endorsing another. It might be better if he were to endorse a wine...like the EXPENSIVE $350.00 PER bottle of wine chosen at a Washinton DC restaurant, which came to $700.00 for BOTH bottles. This would be a perfect TV commercial for him. YES - a wine would be much better for him to endorse. Do the math and you will see that is MORE than what some families with a low wage make per week. The guy wants cuts to programs for the elderly and poor - a shameful act once again.

I could care less who Paul Ryan endorsed. His opinion means nothing.

Now those bitter gun and bible people won't know whom to shoot or whom to pray for...

"The Janesville Republican at 7:56 a.m. today posted a link on .... his endorsement."

7:56 a.m. Now THAT'S funny.

Vote Rob Zerban!!

As far as I am concerned it should be someone else endorsing Ryan as the Republican Candidate ,someday we can hope for someone with financial and true American and, family virtues that will run this Country

bowlgal... lol

There's a shocker, a real piece of news

Romney, Ryan, and Walker....it's all Koch money talking, right? (way right)

whz_bng said, "poo your last comment was just plain dumb."

What was dumb about it? The part where I included the Republican party platform on sex education -- abstinence only education -- in reply to a person supporting Republicans and the use of birth control? Maybe you care to elaborate on your response.

Ryan is the economy guy and Romney fully understands the trouble we are in as a nation.

No surprise here. Romney can match Obama's money and provide a voice of reason in this 3 years of insanity.

The more people choke on and rebel against Ryan's budget manifesto - the more Wall Street robber barons and Ryan's supporters think he's courageous and irreplaceable. How many people would willfully run up the national debt, refuse to pay for two wars, create unfunded mandated like Part D and then propose paying for it by pushing granny off a cliff while simultaneously handing huge tax cuts to millionaires? Only one. Paul Ryan. Courageous! Irreplaceable! A shining star.

Mouse, at least your consistent. Consistently illiterate. First of all, write in complete sentences so everyone knows what you're talking about. Your blather is so weak. It appears you know nothing about what Romney did with health care in Massachusetts. Enough with you.

Rick must be very un happy now

poo your last comment was just plain dumb.

two wrongs never made a right

JoyM said, "Poohbah - if birth control was more widely and culturally available throughout the world, then maybe some of those babies who are dying miserably wouldn't have been born in the first place."

The current Republican party platform [ http://www.gop.com/2008Platform/Educatio... ] states, 'We renew our call for replacing “family planning” programs for teens with increased funding for abstinence education, which teaches abstinence until marriage as the responsible and expected standard of behavior. Abstinence from sexual activity is the only protection that is 100 percent effective against out-of-wedlock pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV/AIDS when transmitted sexually. We oppose school-based clinics that provide referrals, counseling, and related services for abortion and contraception.'

There is a huge, huge gap between your birth control statement and the Republican party platform on birth control. I hope you are actively encouraging the party to change its position on sex education and birth control.

JoyM said, "And the reason I got specific about gays being allowed to be married is that I think one can be conservative on fiscal matters and foreign policy matters without sticking our noses into other people's personal lives as long as it doesn't affect us adversely on financial or foreign policy matters."

But why did you only mention gays? Doesn't what you just said also apply to heterosexuals and opposite sex marriages? Or are you suggesting it's OK to stick our noses into the personal lives of heterosexuals and not gays? Why did you restrict your comment to a small percentage of the population instead of mentioning everyone's personal lives?

JoyM said, 'Oh, and poohbah - "fear machine of the American military-industrial complex"? Really? I have personally become this entity? Wow. I'm good.'

No, you will never be a member of that group of economic elitists; you're just parroting their fear machine rhetoric. You've bought their rhetoric...hook, line and sinker...and are regurgitating it at every turn.

Oh, and poohbah - "fear machine of the American military-industrial complex"? Really? I have personally become this entity? Wow. I'm good.

Poohbah - if birth control was more widely and culturally available throughout the world, then maybe some of those babies who are dying miserably wouldn't have been born in the first place. I am for quality of life, not life no matter what happens next. I hardly think I have made personal decision to starve people in 3rd world countries. In life we can each do some good, but we can't each do it all alone. Presumably you have some reputable charitable organizations that you support to the full amount of your ability. And the reason I got specific about gays being allowed to be married is that I think one can be conservative on fiscal matters and foreign policy matters without sticking our noses into other people's personal lives as long as it doesn't affect us adversely on financial or foreign policy matters.

I look forward to a Romney presidency. Other than short-sighted partianship, I'd think 15+% real unemployment, $4 per gallon gasoline, and an illegal health care law would be enough to change reasonable-thinking people's minds. I guess not. All you lefties out there stay immersed in your self-righteousness and go through life continually bitter - that'll show 'em!

Feduptaxpayer NEVER has anything of value to add.

The rich endorsing the rich. How wonderful. Perhaps Ryan can ride up in Mitt's new auto elevator he's building in his remodel of the mansion on the Pacific Coast while poping the cork on a $300.00 bottle of wine.

JoyM said, "It doesn't matter if gays get married or babies are saved from abortion if we can't afford to feed the babies or if we all get nuked by North Korea."

In case you hadn't noticed, the world has already made a choice to not feed and care for millions of children being born. And it isn't because we can't afford to. 21,000 children under the age of 5 die every day in this world from malnutrition and other easily preventable causes of death. That's one child every four seconds.

And North Korea nuking all of us? That kind of hyperbole shows how desperate the fear machine of the American military-industrial complex has become when one of the greatest crises they can conjure up is an isolated, starving country nuking all of us...

It doesn't matter if gays get married? Why would you say that instead of saying, "It doesn't matter if anyone gets married?" How about dropping the wedge issues rhetoric?

JoyM said, "...we need a more moderate conservative...and that would be Romney..."

Ahaha, moderate conservative...Romney? By his own admission he is a moderate progressive, not a conservative!

"I think people recognize that I'm not a partisan Republican — that I'm someone who is moderate, and that my views are progressive." - Mitt Romney

And does Rush agree with JoyM? No!

"The reason is simple: Romney is not a conservative. He's not, folks. You can argue with me all day long on that, but he isn't." - Rush Limbaugh

I look forward to an election between a socialist liberal progressive from Illinois and a socialist moderate progressive from Massachusetts. How can a progressive socialist lose?

Midnight_Ride,
I am guessing you might be right. You might need a reality check. Obama doesn't alienate voter groups the way Rick Santorum does. Obama alienates people who are racist, people who are ignorant and think he's a Muslim (as if that should actually matter anyways), people who think he was not born in the United States, to a certain degree people who are very far left, and conservatives. However, with the exception of those who are very far left, every other "group" alienated that I listed are typically also conservative. (That does not mean every conservative could be described in the way I described those groups, though.) So, Obama is not really alienating too many people. The far left would absolutely vote for Obama over Santorum. In fact, they are quite likely to vote for Obama period, even though in their opinions Obama has made many mistakes.

If you don't believe my statement, Midnight_Ride, I point you in the direction of other typically conservative voters who readily agree with me.

If we want any hope of pulling some moderate voters away from Obama, we need a more moderate conservative who stays out of our bedrooms and private lives and sticks with the fiscal and international issues facing this country, and that would be Romney over Santorum. It doesn't matter if gays get married or babies are saved from abortion if we can't afford to feed the babies or if we all get nuked by North Korea.

thekai,"Rick Santorum would have no chance of defeating Obama. He alienates way too many groups of voters."
....And Obama doesn't? Reality check please

"The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel quoted Ryan as saying that it's time for conservatives to coalesce around Romney."

This is almost as entertaining as a Swedish movie! A socialist conservative from the Midwest endorsing a socialist moderate from Massachusetts. I can't wait for the election between a socialist liberal and a socialist moderate. Middle class republican conservatives are scratching their heads trying to figure out exactly when the republican elites threw them under the bus... Tea party patriots are destroying their patriot fifes in protest...

"He was running to the left of Teddy Kennedy in Massachusetts in 1994." - Newt Gingrich on Mitt Romney

"He ran to the left of Ted Kennedy." - Rick Santorum on Mitt Romney

"I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush. I’m not trying to return to Reagan-Bush." - Mitt Romney

I imagine most Republican leaders are feeling pressure to endorse Romney. Romney is only being hurt the longer this primary goes on. Further, Rick Santorum would have no chance of defeating Obama. He alienates way too many groups of voters.

Do endorsements matter? Not to me.

Why Mitt Romney is like an Etch-a-Sketch

Probably doesn't want to be associated with racist Rick.
