WAUKESHA, Wis.—Rep. Paul Ryan wiped away tears as he made his first appearance as Mitt Romney’s running mate in his home state, telling a crowd of 10,000 people here that the upcoming election is a “special moment” not just for him, but for the country.
An energized and focused Mitt Romney first dispatches a weak attempt by a protester to interrupt him, and then Governor Romney tells Barack Obama it’s time to get his campaign out of the gutter and make this an election about ideas. Whether or not Barack Obama is actually capable of that remains…doubtful…
That’s the ticket! Yuppers! It does give hope that we will have change come November! And, it is my opinion that if BO is re-elected it will definately be by bullish fraud.
I was happily surprised by this choice. I was beginning to think we would get a VP that was middle of the road but I think this choice has obama needing fresh depends
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: I think they are vastly underestimating Ryan and also vastly underestimating what the pick does to the ticket. The best analogy is, I think, the late 1970s when Reagan became the candidate and people thought — Democrats thought this is a real opportunity for us. ‘Look at all the wild stuff he’s done. He’s a guy far out on the right. Easy target.’ And it turned out to be different. I think Ryan has that Reagan-like quality.
And one thing that I think that Democrats are misreading, they just assume that Ryan will be a target. They’ll be on the defense on Medicare and the budget. But they don’t understand how much Ryan is good at attacking. Attacking on substance.
There was one meeting, early in the administration Obama decided to have a roundtable with Republicans in a way to show how open he was to new ideas. They held it in the Blair House, I think you and I — Bret — covered it at the time. It went on for hours. Obama was the chair of the meeting, so he controlled the microphone and the one guy who bested him time and again in that argument — the one guy who always got ahead of Obama and put him on the defensive was Paul Ryan. And I think that they are underestimating who they now have as an opponent.
The auto bailouts have proven a near-total failure. Just as Obama’s Green Energy fraud has cost U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars, so too are the auto bailouts. With that in mind it is quite fair to state that Barack Obama has NO economic accomplishment on which to run for re-election. NONE. He has done nothing but further harm an already frail American economy.
The only hope of turning around America is for the Republican Party to be, genuinely, the conservative party and for this Republican Party to become the majority party at the national and the state level. Congressman Paul Ryan, now crown prince of the Republican Party, shows just how close we have come to that victory.
This election is a test, not just of the opposing candidates but of the voting public. If what they want are the hard facts about where the country is, and where it is heading, they cannot vote for more of the same for the next four years.
But, if what they want is emotionally satisfying rhetoric and a promise to give them something for nothing, to be paid for by taxing somebody else, then Obama is their man. This is not to say that the public will in fact get something for nothing or that rich people will just pay higher taxes, when it is easy for them to escape taxation by investing overseas — creating jobs overseas. Even if most Americans do not have their own taxes raised, that means little, if they end up paying other people’s taxes in the higher prices of goods and services that pass along the higher taxes imposed on businesses.
Do you think Democrats don’t understand that there’s no such thing as bad publicity? That the more outrageous their attacks are, the more they’ll be repeated by Republicans and conservatives?
Democrats’ scorched-earth, take-no-prisoners campaign is not a sign they’re desperate; it’s who they are. They’re the most subversive, dirtiest enemy America has, and they must be stopped. We’ve got to quit reinforcing their message for them. Conservatives’ attention does nothing except validate the Obama message through continuous repetition.
Republicans and conservatives are doing the Democrats’ job for them, and it’s overwhelmingly a function of the fact that most of them don’t seem to realize who we’re at war with in this campaign. They don’t realize that in Barack Obama we’re up against a merciless enemy and that the president and his cohorts are not going to play fair.
Despite Obama being the first black president (who champions ‘redistributive justice’ for the ancestors of black slaves) he and his attorney general deliberately ignore the plight of Hispanic slavery right under their noses in order to fast track their open-borders amnesty agenda.
Barack Obama and Eric Holder are turning a blind eye to thousands of children of Hispanic descent being sold into either child labor or sex slavery around the world by human traffickers along the U.S.-Mexico border.
To vote for Obama after years of grotesque economic mismanagement that has no precedent in history, that exceeds the worst actions of Andrew Jackson or Ulysses S. Grant, is not the instinct of an American, but a selfish greedy looter scrambling to grab a few dinner rolls off the tray while the ship is going down. There is no policy justification for voting for a man with the worst economic and foreign policy record in the country’s history. There is no American justification for voting for him. Only the UnAmerican motivation of carving up a dying country into group fiefdoms privileging identity politics over the common good.
This is an UnAmerican campaign. It is an Anti-American campaign. It is a campaign by those who hate and fear what America was and who resent having to care about anyone outside their own group. Its group jingoism, its dog whistles and special privileges are repulsive and cynical, treating the people of a great nation like a warren of rats eager to sell each other out for a prize from the Cracker Jack box of identity politics entitlements.
