RomneyRyan.com Is Now Live

Aug. 11, 2012 7:10am Madeleine Morgenstern

Mitt Romney isn’t scheduled to announce his selection of Paul Ryan as his running mate until later Saturday morning, but his campaign is ahead of the curve with the already live romneyryan.com:

The site currently features the same content as mittromney.com.

After the Romney campaign announced the vice presidential pick was coming Saturday morning, NBC News was the first to report shortly after midnight that it was Ryan. The Associated Press and a slew of other media outlets quickly followed with the same news.

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

As an independent, I feel much much better now about Romney. Since the deficit and jobs are the hottest issues, this team has the competence to fix the economy. We cannot afford 4 more years of Obama.

  What i like best about ryan, is (UNLIKE BIDEN, AN EXPERT ON FOREIGN POLICY FOR OVER 20 YEARS) just like mittens————PAUL RYAN offers the US no safety or security as he knows NOTHING ABOUT FOREIGN AFFAIRS, unless he like so many pubs has had one.
  
  MR. RYAN AND THE LESBIAN
  
  LESBIAN GENERAL OFFICER
  
  Less than a year after the repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” former Army Colonel Tammy Smith was promoted to brigadier general Friday making her the first general officer to come out while serving.
  
  Tammy Smith received her stars from her wife Tracey Hepner in a private ceremony at the Women’s Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery.
  
  According to Stars and Stripes, Smith, 49, has been assigned as deputy chief at the Office of the Chief at the Army Reserve. Before “don’t ask, don’t tell” was repealed, she told the military newspaper last year that she was not planning on coming out to her colleagues, but would be relieved when she and Hepner would be able to go out together without worrying about being outed.
  —————-
  NEW FACE, SAME OLD BIGOTRY
  
  Paul Ryan has voted to ban same-sex marriage and adoption by gay couples, and he voted against repealing the “don’t ask, don’t tell” ban on gays serving openly in the military.
  Mr. Ryan—gay adoption is legal in almost every state in the Union, and gays are standing in line to adopt the children that you didn’t want aborted. Make up your mind.
  As story about general officer above indicates, g

To John Larson:
Sadly, many like you do not know the real history and practice of the Democrats.
The Democrats started the K K K (a racist organization by the way) to hunt down blacks and Republicans.
Democrat Margaret Sanger started Planned Parenthood because she & her fellow Dems thought people of darker skin were inferior. Sanger thought she could curb the birth rate of blacks through Planned Parenthood and they are still doing it today. Sanger also was a speaker at the K K K women’s groups.
Democrat Lyndon Johnson, when Speaker of the House, took Republican Pres. Eisenhower’s Civil Rights Bill and sent it to committee and buried it so it couldn’t be passed. When Johnson became President, he then touted the Civil Rights Bill as his own.
The history of the Democratic Party is one of racism and attempts to keep the blacks down through overt acts as above and covert acts of welfare.
Do the research. It will make you sick how the Dems have harmed the black community through their racist actions.

We should not be dividing our country into color or religion, we should be united in solving our countrys problems and not kicking the can down the road.

WANNA’ SEE ” A PROFESSIONAL” AT WORK?

Ryan sliced and diced Obama…and DID IT professionally & FACE-TO – FACE.
Obama sat there speechless, blinking – looking confused, as to say,
“What the hell did he say?” AND ” What did Ryan just say to ME?”

Obviously Obama COULDN’T KEEP UP with Ryan’s thought process…
I bet Obama STILL PULLS OUT THAT SUIT & CHECKS IT FOR RIPS & CUTS!

F you want ” Cool”, HERE’S A NEW KIND OF COOL!
Ryan was COOL, CALM AND COLLECTIVE…AND CONFIDENT!

ROCK ON, RYAN.

  Obama. “Deer in the Headlights Moment”
  Priceless….
  
  The only thing Obama knows about the Health Care Bill, is that it was designed to bankrupted and destroy America’s financial system so he can rebuild it in his own Marxists ideology. Bin-Laden used the same tactic, he wanted to attack the strongest image of capitalism and our financial structure.
  
  Obama is 10 times more dangerous to our country than Bin-Laden ever was.

What a great pick! Ryan is smart, honest, young, libertarian-at-heart, good looking and skinny.

He will slaughter Biden in the debates and decimate Obama’s fiscal policies in his speeches.

Paul Ryan is one smart guy and he’s only 42 years old. See the future of the GOP. Like it!

Clearly Romney cant make a fist let alone throw a punch.

  It is because he’s caving in. The guy is a moderate, and he just picked Ayn Rand as his VP.
  
  He’s afraid the conservative base won’t turn out, so he caved.

  I know he’s no wimp. Wimps are not wildly successful in business like Mitt was. I think his advisors are just overly cautious about going after Obama because of his ‘likeability’ numbers. He needs to get down in the gutter and fight… like he did against Newt and Santorum.

Biden is, as we speak, curled up in his bathroom sobbing just thinking of how Ryan will make a laughing stock out of him in a debate. They’ll have to coin a new word after that debate. From that time forward, anyone looking totally out of their element, their ability to keep up in a debate, looking like a total moron, will have said to have pulled a “Biden”.

When a politician makes news on a Friday, it’s because they want to bury the story.

He’s worried about cons not showing to vote, so he picked a far-right guy. Unfortunately not being able to pick a safe choice to VP will cost him the election as well.
