Guest EXPAT Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 In what I think is a great choice for the Democrats actually, Romney will select Paul Ryan of Wisconsin today at 9AM EDT for his VP pick. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/12/us/politics/mitt-romney-names-paul-ryan-as-his-running-mate.html?_r=1&hp Quote
Guest CharliePS Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Well, Ryan at least keeps Romney on message that the election is all about the economy. Unless, of course, something happens outside the US, and it isn't any longer, in which case we have two candidates with absolutely no foreign policy/defense experience or expertise. Ryan's ideas about the economy will please the Tea Partiers, but I'm not sure how they will fly with the rest of the electorate once the Dems lay out all the consequences. What does Romney-Ryan fall back on then? Social issues? For you trivia lovers, there hasn't been a doubled initial letter (R/R) candidate team in my lifetime. Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 I think Ryan is the easiest candidate to counter for the Obama camp from all of those being considered. I think that all Ryan does is help solidify Romney with the base which still wasn't sure Romney was the right candidate. There was some good analysis today regarding this choice that it was the right "August" choice because Romney still hasn't solidified his base yet. Quote

Guest EXPAT Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Now someone went to a lot of trouble for this one. . . Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Before naming Rep. Paul Ryan to the ticket, the Romney campaign looked through "several years" of tax returns for all the short list candidates. The irony seems lost on them. Quote
Members MsGuy Posted August 13, 2012 Members Posted August 13, 2012 LOL, I was wondering about that myself, EXPAT. ---- The longer Romney holds out, the more I wonder what is in those returns that make it worth taking the shit for not disclosing them. It's got to to more than the 14% rate business because he's already taken the hit for that. Hmmm...It's a puzzlement. Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 I think he participated in the foreign bank account amnesty program when people could return money to the US "no questions asked" and I bet he did and it is disclosed in 2004 or 2005 or 2006. That would be a royal disaster. Just my opinion. Quote
Guest DarnTop82 Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 That's hilarious man! Except, you are ignoring the facts-Obama has decimated Medicare with his ACA. something tot he tune of just under 1 TRILLION cut. Nice man. Nice. Quote
