Paul Ryan Endorses Romney for President: ‘Important We Coalesce as Conservatives’

Paul Ryan

AP

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) formally threw his support behind Mitt Romney for president Friday morning, saying the former Massachusetts governor has the “skills, tenacity, courage and integrity to do what it takes to get America back on track.”

Ryan — whose home state of Wisconsin goes to the polls April 3 — said during an appearance on Fox News that he based his decision on two criteria: Who would make the best president and who has the best chance of defeating President Barack Obama.

“Mitt Romney is clearly that person,” Ryan said.

The chairman of the House Budget committee, Ryan added he thinks the primary process has been productive thus far, but is approaching a critical point.

“The more we drag it out, the harder it’ll be to win in November,” Ryan said. “That’s why I think it’s important we coalesce as conservatives and focus on the big task at hand which is defeating Barack Obama in the fall.”

Ryan’s is the third high-profile endorsement Romney picked up this week: Former President George H.W. Bush and Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio have both formally backed him.

    Okay Ron Paul supporters – you’re up – time to call Paul Ryan a progressive socialist because he supports Romney!

    Okay Santorum supporters – your turn – time to call Paul Ryan part of the establishment and a sell-out because he supports Romney!

    Paul Ryan understands the economy just as well as he understands that Mitt Romney is a strong conservative that will lead this country back in the right direction!

I’m afraid Santorum HAS been getting his panties in a wad more often than not, and not happy with that at all. Whininess is a Ron Paul / supporter attribute and I‘m not happy with Santorum’s displays in this area…

      Paul Ryan has been trying to work out a common sense budget for years now. He did good work – but even his budget is not enough considering how urgent the debt situation is.

      I see no reason for him to make an endorsement – other than to gain favor with the republican establishment. Ask yourself…..Why would a politician ever “endorse” someone? Answer: because they believe their judgement is better than the voters. For that reason, endorsements are something that moderates and liberals usually rely on to win elections

      He’s hedging his bets. Electing a president is not the end-game. Undoing all these burdensome laws and immoral spending is. Electing Romney is just a means to an end. Keeping congress devoted to doing it is the citizenry’s responsibility. I‘m not a Romney guy either but saving my country is what’s important, not so much which Republican we use in doing it.

      BUT THE ‘OBAMANATION’ IS DOING SO GOOD !!!!!!!

      Mr. Obama closed his week pulling off a nearly unimaginable feat: He managed to totally and completely unify the nastily-fighting Democrats and Republicans in Congress. Late Wednesday night, they unanimously voted — 414 to zip — to reject the budget Mr. Obama had presented, leaving him not even a thin lily’s blade to hide behind.

      So, in one week, Mr. Obama got caught whispering promises to our enemy, incited a race war, raised serious questions about his understanding of the Constitution, and then got smacked down over his proposed budget that was so wildly reckless that even Democrats in Congress could not support it.

    Romney is a lot more conservative than some folks here would have us believe.Some here sound like liberal spinmasters.Romney has always said that health care plans should be individual states business,that is much different than the federal goverment forcing their will on the whole nation. Better one state fail than the whole nation. Ron Paul votes against federal drug laws because he wants smaller central government. His opponents spin it like he wants to legalize all drugs. Not so. He wants the useless federal government to stay out of the peoples business and let each state solve the problems closer to home. Romney and Paul have a lot in common regarding smaller federal government. The states can do what they want without fu@king up the whole country. The people have much more power when the federal government is weak. And if a state screws up it can be fixed or go bankrupt.People and money will flow to the best run states. Whew.

      Dhimmitude — What does it mean?

      Obama used it in the health care bill.
      Now isn’t this interesting?
      It is used in the health care law.

      Dhimmitude — I had never heard the word until now. Type it into Google and start reading. Pretty interesting. It’s on page 107 of the healthcare bill. I looked this up on Google and yep, it exists.. It is a REAL word.

      Dhimmitude is the Muslim system of controlling non-Muslim populations conquered through jihad. Specifically, it is the TAXING of non-Muslims in exchange for tolerating their presence AND as a coercive means of converting conquered remnants to Islam.
      ObamaCare allows the establishment of Dhimmitude and Sharia Muslim diktat in the United States . Muslims are specifically exempted from the government mandate to purchase insurance, and also from the penalty tax for being uninsured. Islam considers insurance to be “gambling”, “risk-taking”, and “usury” and is thus banned. Muslims are specifically granted exemption based on this.
      How convenient. So I, as a Christian, will have crippling IRS liens placed against all of my assets, including real estate, cattle, and even accounts receivables, and will face hard prison time because I refuse to buy insurance or pay the penalty tax. Meanwhile, Louis Farrakhan will have no such penalty and will have 100% of his health needs paid for by the de facto government insurance.
      Non-Muslims will be paying a tax to subsidize Muslims. This is Dhimmitude.

Why stop at Obama and Johnson, what about their idol Roosevelt(either one)? fighting over which Democrat has wrecked the country more is like arguing how many angels can fit on the head of a pin. Other than Kennedy, who was killed by the ‘establishment’( for trying to limit the FED, messing with CIA etc., etc.) I can‘t recall a Democrat President who did ANYTHING to help the country advance so trying to pick ’who is worst’ is an unnecessary exercise..

    “How Mitt Romney’s Health-Care Experts Helped Design Obamacare
    10/11/2011 @ 10:28AM

    When Mitt Romney is asked, as he often is, to explain the fact that Obamacare was modeled after Romneycare, he asks the President: “If that’s the case, why didn’t you call me? Why didn’t you ask what was wrong? Why didn’t you ask if this was an experiment, what worked and what didn’t…I would have told him, ‘What you’re doing, Mr. President, is going to bankrupt us.’” Now, Michael Isikoff, the Newsweek veteran who is best known for his investigative reporting on the Monica Lewinsky flap, is out with a lengthy report divulging “fresh details” on how the Obama administration relied on the designers of Romneycare in fashioning their own health-care law.”

      Ofcourse they did. AND Kennedy got his ideas from Clinton who also interjected idea’s presented by Newt Gingrich and the Heritage Foundation. However, OBamacare interjected literal 1,000′s of pages of bureaucracy and was designed to literally be an eventual “Social” medicine. The reason guys like Newt, Romney and the Heritage foundation supported the individual mandate was because they were trying to solve this problem where people were getting a “free ride” at hospitals. I assure you, this is only because of all their political friends making millions, if not billions off of the healthcare system. You see, Hospitals are nearly ALL NON-Profit, and have special privileges like being exempt from “conflict of interest” laws, allowing them to become monopolies and also fund special grants and being tax exempt. Company’s such as UPMC here in Pittsburgh are turning are becoming monopolies, literal monsters, bringing in 4 Billion in profits last year and squashing anybody who gets in their way while fleecing the tax payer where their “medicare and medicaid” extension, where they not only have the privileged of dueling out contracts to those they favor, but also determining the charge rate ( which is the highest in the US) in which their chosen vendors will return the profits right back to themselves. They own all the hospitals and are now refusing to accept competing insurances. This is why the “Individual mandate” no longer works, competition has been eliminated in man

      ================================

      Blacks Law Dictionary has changed the definition used by America’s Founding Fathers:

      “The definition of natural-born citizen approved by the first U.S. Congress can be seen in the Naturalization Act of 1790, which regarded it as a child born of two American parents. The law, specifying that a natural-born citizen need not be born on U.S. soil, stated: “The children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States shall be considered as natural born citizens: PROVIDED, that the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States.”

      @KIDCHARLEMAGNE – To put that section in its true context, it was speaking of creating a uniform Rule of Naturalization – i.e. how people can become citizens… not defining what a natural born citizen is.

      Further, even if you read nothing more than that one sentence – you would realize that the section is ADDING to the definition of a natural born citizen to apply to some who might think they need to be naturalized. Just read it carefully, it explicitly qualifies itself to children born “OUT OF THE LIMITS” (i.e. jurisdiction) of the United States. Then, and ONLY then, does it state that the father must have been a resident of the United States. Plain and Simple.

      Thus, Black’s Law Dictionary (again, the ONLY dictionary that can legitimately be cited in a legal argument) definition of a natural born citizen (which is based on all the case law on the subject) does not vary from the original founders intentions. If a person is born within the jurisdiction (i.e. limits) of the United States, then they are a natural-born citizen.

      Marco Rubio was born in Miami, Florida – in the UNITED STATES – and thus is a natural born citizen. Honestly, I don’t know why the Paulbots always want to dispute this definition of natural-born citizen when even the Supreme Court has found such.

      i’ll have a blast in november without even voting for obama…Libertarians will run Gay Johnson or Ron Paul and the Constitution party will have a respectable candidate. It will be a tough decision!!!

    Cannot believe that Paul Ryan is endorsing Mitt Romney. Is there something in it for Ryan? All I can say is WOW, especiallly when Romney is the Grandfather of ObamaCare. Paul, Paul, what were you tlhinking…if, in fact, you were actually thinking?!

      I’m guessing that Ryan would endorse Paul or any of the other candidates if the delegate count at this point was insurmountably in their favor. The fact that so many have waited so long to endorse Romney speaks volumes.

    Look, I’m not thrilled with Romney, that’s for sure, but then again I wasn’t overly thrilled with any of the candidates, but if Obama gets back in, I may as well shut the doors on my small businesses….this idiot Marxist is, at a minimum, scaring the hell out of consumers in this country….it’s clear he hates this nation, and is surrounding himself with self admitted communist czars…. That little secretary of energy, Steven Chu, said he wanted 10 $ a gallon gas , three years ago, and now they’re surprised gas is going thru the roof ??? What do you expect when you surround yourself with freakin Commies !!!! I will vote for Romney over Obama ANYDAY OF THE WEEK !!!!!

    It becomes very obvious who the Rinos are when they endorse Rino Romney, who by the way, is only a conservative compared to Our current communist president. Down with RINOs and their ilk. Let’s coalesce around the Constitution not another RINO, Mitt Ryan Romney.

    No – CONSERVATIVES should not coalesce around Romney. Romney is a left-leaning progressive – he is a very poor choice to take on obama. It’s very sad to see so many conservatives simply giving up and abandoning all hope of beating obama by choosing Romney. The GOP establishment wants Romney (this should be a red flag to anyone with a brain), but real CONSERVATIVES do not.

      No he wasn‘t the best we’ve got. Republicans got duped again into believing another RINO is the only chance we have in beating this democrat, again. Its 2008 all over again. We’ll see if Romney backs up his conservative talk if he goes after Obama as harshly as he did his republican primary challengers. My guts telling me “Etch-A-Sketch”.

    Wait… coalesce as “conservatives?” No, Mr. Ryan, it sounds like you meant “as Republicans.“ No one in their right mind thinks Romney is anywhere near a ”conservative” candidate; he is, however, the quintessential Republican party man… a politician.

    Not to get too down on Romney. I don’t like his policies, I don’t like his history, and I don’t believe his words. I DO however, think he’s the only candidate at this point with a chance of beating Obama. He just won’t be much better of a president.

That monkey is state ran healthcare that he himself implemented ! Why do you think the DEMS want Romney to be the Republican candidate ? They know Obama has a fighting chance against Romney , because Mitt himself created state ran healthcare ! Mitt cannot call out Obama,, on Obamacare, because Mitt created and implemented this garbage in his own state ! They are TOO much alike !!!!!

      “ANY conservative would be a better president than Barack Obama . Any.”

      True. But Romney isn’t a conservative, so the point still stands as I said it: he’s the only one with a chance of winning at this point (note: not a good chance, as @readytostand points out), but he’ll be more of the same. He’s a politician, he’s a party-man, but a conservative? I honestly can’t see how anyone would label him as such (though I’m sure the left will try).

      I think Obama is the worst president and second, maybe George Bush Jr.

      The Patriot Act, the NDAA; the agenda stays to same not matter who gets in. Ron Paul offers the only true change. A return to the Constitution of the United States, a return to small government and personal freedom. WAKE UP!
