Pawlenty has been such a supporter of Romney to the point of not even confronting him during the primary and then he finds himself pushed aside for Ryan - that has got to hurt...

Pawlenty was too much like Romney.... was like Romney light..... Romney needed someone different.

Ryan shores up the base, but loses the seniors (Ryan's plan to reduce medicare to a voucher (coupon or stamp) system), eliminate social security). He loses Florida with this pick, and Wisconsin isn't a sure thing either.

Ryan is the choice for a losing candidacy that is trying to avoid a complete Obama landslide victory.

Romney's inability to show his tax returns will dog him until the election.

It's over. They'll also lose seats in Congress.

I do think that Ryan will appeal to independents that are concerned about the deficit and spending. However, he also wants to basically abolish the social safety net in place that protects our poor and our seniors...so, there's that.

Nice Dark Star reference, Curious ;)

Knowing the strongly held stances that Mitt takes, it's entirely possible that he names Pawlenty tomorrow.

I don't have faith in any politician, especially Romney. Friends take care of friends and his friends are the elite.

Pawlenty reduced taxes for the wealthiest Minnesotans, kicked the can down the road, stole money from our kids, and left us with a $5 Billion deficit. I don't trust anything that comes out of ol' Timmy's mouth.

Ryan is no fiscal conservative - oh - he plays one when writing a plan but when it times come to vote - he ain't anything like what he plays on TV...

He voted for the following:
TARP
Auto Bailout
Reduced Taxes with no spending cut offsets
The Iraq War
The Afghanistan War
Medicare Part D
and the list goes on and on

Oh - and for those Big Government Spending Programs not only did he vote to spend the massive amounts of money - he never required that there be a way to pay for any of it!

If Ryan wants to be taken seriously he could start with one very simple statement:
For Medicare Part D

1) Will he work to repeal it?
2) Or, will he work to institute a Tax or Fee to actually pay for it?

I believe that the chant is evident and getting louder by the minute ---- FOUR MORE YEARS! It's exciting to know that TP will be campaigning for the VP nomination for at least another 1,400 days.

Rob H... Yea, that's exactly what I was getting at. He takes a stance one way, and then when needed he takes the opposite the other way... If Kerry was the poster boy flip flipper... Well, Romney has definitely taken over that title.

Thank you darling wonder Mitt! Thanks for blessing us with inspiration of inherited wealth. Thank you for teaching us nobody should pay more tax just because they hide money, tax-free, in the Caymans & Bermuda & Switzerland & Andorra. Thanks for having fools pay their taxes, while you live in luxury. Thanks for building an elevator for your cars & limos in one of your 7 palaces, which also gives us inspiration to be like you: accomplished & not being afraid to demonstrate loyalty to yr fellow accomplished friends with the promise to further lower their taxes. And also thank the Ryan budget author for promising to reduce yr tax rate to 1%. After all 13% tax rate sure beats the 37% rate those on salaries must pay. It'ss inspiring for all of us not yet rich as you; not rich like yr daddy, not rich as yr wife or boys. Thank you for choosing a running mate who is also a millionaire from the inheritance from his great-grandfather, the road builder, whose company was passed down to his son & then his son, Paul's Daddy afforded Mr. Ryan a life in Wash.DC & inspiration to lower taxes on his multimillionaire mom & dad & all those whom God has blessed. You go Mitt! Why should Americans wait for the government to give a measly retirement to those who paid for it, when you show how to take care of yourself? Why give people Obamacare just because people without $ get sick? If God wants them sick, why go against God's will? O Mitt, how inspiring you are! Pay no attention to envy!

The Romney-Ryan Plan:
1. Tax poor & working people but not the rich;
2. Encourage wages in the U.S. to fall to third world levels;
3. Pass trade laws that make it easy for companies to send jobs overseas;
4. Pass laws that enable only insurance companies to control who gets health care (including seniors) and who doesn't;
5. Replace public education with out of pocket private schools and home schooling;
6. Refuse to invest in crumbling public infrastructure such as highways, bridges, and sewer systems;
7. Pass laws that weaken regulations and enable companies to pollute the environment;
8. Pass laws that enable gas and oil production and prices to be controlled by a few large companies; Make sure that there is no longer any research or work on alternative energy sources; Keep defense spending high to protect non domestic oil production;
9. Repress rights for women and minorities and repress voting participation;
10. Divide the American people on cultural issues (religion, sexual orientation, gun rights, etc);
11. Instill fear in the American public through manufactured crises and created "boogeymen". Then attack political opponents by claiming to be more "patriotic" and the better keeper of "American Values" than they.
12. Make it impossible for literally millions of ELIGIBLE voters to cast their ballots, which is flagrant vote tampering and corruption.

Can YOU afford to support these guys? We can't. We're an average American working family.
