Paul Ryan Wisconsin Congressman Romney VP runnig mate "Americans were so tired of being thought of as dumbasses by the rest of the world, that some went to the election polls the last presidential election and removed all doubt."
"Never let a serious crisis go to waste.
Obama is currently in his fifth year of campaigning and speechmaking, which is considerably easier than being president. All it takes is a good writer, a teleprompter, a few lies and the ability to cry “wolf” every month or so.
this WILL get interesting, twice his budget has been passed
"A seven-term congressman, Ryan is chairman of the House Budget Committee, and primary author of conservative tax and spending blueprints that the tea party-infused Republican majority approved over vociferous Democratic opposition in 2011 and again in 2012." I don’t need your attitude thanks, I have one of my own!

A brief summery of Paul Ryan
Political
* Currently serving seventh term as a member of Congress. * Ryan was little known outside Janesville when he ran for Congress in 1998 at age 28. He captured 57 percent of the vote. * Ryan's first budget plan, which he called "Roadmap for America's Future," was released in 2010. * Early in his career as a representative to Congress, Ryan held office hours in an old truck he converted into an office. * Ryan was the legislative director for Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas, 1995-1997.
Personal
* Born and raised in the community of Janesville; Ryan is a fifth-generation Wisconsin native. * Ryan moonlighted on Capitol Hill as a waiter at the Tortilla Coast restaurant and as a fitness trainer at Washington Sport and Health Club. * One of Ryan's summer jobs in college was as an Oscar Mayer salesman in Minnesota, peddling turkey bacon and a new line called "Lunchables" to supermarkets. * Ryan worked as a marketing consultant for his family's construction business before being elected to Congress. The company -- Ryan Incorporated Central -- began as an earthmoving business created by his great-grandfather in 1884. * Ryan's hobbies include hunting and fishing. He is a bowhunter and belongs to his hometown's archery association - the Janesville Bowmen. * For fun, Ryan noodles catfish, catching them barehanded with a fist down their throats. * Ryan listens to Rage Against the Machine and Led Zeppelin

Ryan's seven terms in office and leadership on public display on any number of budget issues in regards to fiscal discipline? As compared to Biden? Or better yet, Mr. Community Organizer, 104 golf games and counting.
Biden is still on the ticket only because he forced Obama by "coming out" on the gay marriage issue, forcing Obama's hand to do the same. That was on shrewd underhanded political move on his part, one that might have cost Hillary the VP slot.
And the candidates that Palin has supported... how many have won with her backing? How many candidates are hiding from both Obama and Biden, trying to put distance from them in this election cycle?
Running away from Obama By Salena Zito

LISBON, Ohio — The two-lane Lincoln Highway passes sparkling creeks, tree-lined valleys, coal-mine entrances and mom-and-pop motel lots filled with shale-industry workers' muddy trucks on its way to this eastern Ohio town.
Two blocks west of the shining chrome Steel Trolley Diner, a neon-orange "Frack Obama" sign stands out in Lisbon's otherwise serene Victorian downtown.
This is not your father's Appalachia. And Barack Obama is not your father's Democrat -- which is a problem for two Democrats running for U.S. House seats in districts bordering this highway.
Each is looking to connect with voters in a different state -- Ohio and Pennsylvania. Yet they share the same problem with remarkably similar electorates: running alongside a president who does not share their voters' values.
In both districts, voters have broken away from Obama, though they are not quite sold on Republican Mitt Romney.

If the extremely biased main stream press had spent 10% of time vetting Obama instead of simply reprinting press releases from Obama about Palin and "her lack of qualifications" (she was a governor, he was "present", little more than a seat warmer in office), Obama would not have skated away from the truth for the last four years. Mr. Transparency? Anything but. Palin draws crowds and Obama works his teleprompter to half empty halls.
