Romney's VP pick leaked before Saturday announcement

Like I said...All it proves is, once again, Mitt-the-Twit is a hostage...not a leader...

In Ryan, Romney has selected a running mate best known for designing the extreme GOP budget that would end Medicare as we know it, and -- just like Romney's plan -- actually raise taxes on middle-class Americans to pay for an additional $250,000 tax break for millionaires and billionaires. As a leader of the House Republicans and a Tea Party favorite, Congressman Ryan has led the relentless, intensely ideological battle for these kinds of budget-busting policies that punish seniors and the middle class.

Today, Romney doubled down on those policies.

Today Romney not only handed us our presidential victory, but very likely the majorities we need in one or both houses. Look for some of the bat-sh*t-crazy teabaggers from 2010 to be gone when the dust settles.

That's really funny.

"A budget wonk". Who says he is the great sage of economics and finance and budgets? You guys? Seriously? Eeeeeeeeeek! Seriously? Maybe you should define what you mean, exactly. Do you mean that he has figured new and ingenious (or perhaps not so new or ingenious given the predictability of his methods) ways to screw the average American while further enriching the usual suspects? He's going to lower taxes, etc. by off-setting expenditures (forget defense so what does that leave?) and closing tax loopholes (which ones exactly?) but given his amazing budget-wonk prowess and such as, it should be amazing to see. After all, this is the same guy who voted for two unfunded wars, the HUGE expansion of Medicare (Part D), the bank bailouts, etc. while concurrently cutting taxes MAINLY for the very wealthy. What does he know about budgeting and finance given what he advocates and votes for? Ya gotta luv it.

"Houston we've had a problem" and it ain't going away any time soon.

YOu mean as opposed to a president who is going to plug a trillion + dollers a year deficit with 80 billion a rear in new taxes? This guy?

"Reagan proved that deficits don't matter" Dick Cheney

Unless and until, of course, a Democrat is in office. Right?

The subject was Paul Ryan not what the Pres said in 2009. He said a lot of crap. And still does.

What is "werry"? Do you know/understand Fuddspeak?

Are collectivists truly incapable of anything other than demagogeury, ridicule and raising taxes? Is this what they mean by "progress" and what it means to be "progressive"?

Once upon a day a long, long, time ago, liberal meant "broad". The liberal thinkers of the day were the ones who thought that your rights didn't come from the government; that the purpose for which man lived was something other than to be the source of funding for the government; that the purpose for which government existed was to ensure your individual liberty to live your life in accordance with your own conscience. How is it possible that "progress" today now means that the primary purpose of your life is once again to support the goals and objectives of the government?

No. Apparently they are capable of genocide. Small price to pay to clean up the gene pool.
