    Why not Scott Walker? :roll:

    I think it is a safe safe move. Not flamboyant Bidden run of the mouth. Not too flashy.not rubio stir it up.

    Bold move. Let's see how this one plays out... 8-)

    Tag called Pawlenty and Portman and said they were out.

    What's wrong Mitt? Couldn't call them yourself?

    Scott Walker is too fresh in the political scene... though he is seen as an up and comer in the Republican party. Ryan has been in the House since 1999. Plus he is budget committee chairman... a pretty important part of the House of Representatives.

    plus he came up with the controversial ryan budget that has pissed off a lot of people and can't seem to pass...

    this is a shameless play to appease the teapartiers. the former governor of mass has gone way right with this pick....let's see how it works.

    let's get it on!!

    so Ryan will run in 2016?



    Can that guy EVER say the right thing at the right time? When it counts, I mean really counts, will we accept these verbal fuck ups? Assuming in a major way of course that this ivy league dumbass actually has a chance of winning.

    That's pretty much the story I'm seeing through a number of news sources. Basically most are saying Romney has committed political suicide. You suppose Cheney will same thing about Romney's choice as he did about McCain choosing Palin?

    tough to know what Cheney thinks about Ryan... Ryan is a really extreme version of Dick the former VP.. which is scary in itself... At this point it seems Obama is well ahead in most polls.. I don't think choosing someone that is trying to get rid of medicare and increase taxes to the normal folk is a good move when you're trying to seem in touch.

    What I read said that the CBO report on Ryan's Budget said there will be no federal budget surplus for the first 3 decades. :roll: :fp:

    1) helping people in need

    Exactly and services are already cut quite a bit. An argument could be made for the fact that there is a lot of waste in social services- it's true- but cutting them back or cutting them out all together as opposed to making improvements just doesn't make sense.
