Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) campaigned together earlier this year in Wisconsin. The Romney campaign announced Saturday morning Ryan would be his vice presidential running mate. (AP)
Mitt Romney has tapped Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan to be his vice presidential running mate, ending weeks of speculation about who would join the former Massachusetts governor on the Republican ticket.
The Romney campaign announced the Ryan pick to supporters beginning at about 7 a.m. Saturday via an iPhone app.
Romney and Ryan will appear together later in the morning at a naval museum in Norfolk, Va.
The "Mitt's VP" app officially announced the news Saturday morning.
Multiple news outlets began reporting that Ryan was Romney’s choice shortly after midnight Saturday, but the app announcement was the campaign’s first official word.
The website romneyryan.com went live early Saturday morning, as did the new Twitter handle @PaulRyanVP.
At 7:43 a.m., a tweet on Romney’s official Twitter account stated: “I am proud to announce @PaulRyanVP as my VP. Stand with us today. http://mi.tt/Romney-Ryan #RomneyRyan2012.”
At 8:28 a.m., @PaulRyanVP tweeted: “I’m honored to join @MittRomney on America’s Comeback Team. http://mi.tt/Romney-Ryan #RomneyRyan2012.”

Posted on August 11, 2012 at 8:27amThere was NO VP pick that was going to please everyone. Ryan’s talents are being wasted in the House as long as we have a Democratic Senate, and there is no assurance we still won’t have a Democratic Senate next year. What good is it being a financial guru if nothing can ever get past the Senate? We’ve been watching the wheels spin for two years as it is. Ryan motivates most of the base and could persuade some Blue Dogs and Independents to vote for Romney.

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 Before “don’t ask, don’t tell” was repealed, she told the military newspaper last year that she was not planning on coming out to her colleagues, but would be relieved when she and Hepner would be able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.

Biden is the laughingstock of VP’s and is there only to make Obama look good. But Paul Ryan has a great chance of eventually becoming president if Mitt Romney is elected in November. Ryan has brains, charisma and common sense, something progressives don’t possess or even understand.

Posted on August 11, 2012 at 9:27amI remember someone (Dick Cheney?) saying that the choice would be someone who the Presidential candidate feels could step right into his shoes if something were to happen to him. Ryan’s pick seems to confirm that logic; I think it’s possible that he would be a great President; he might even be the best qualified of the contenders. My objection here is his lack of charisma, something I feel is needed in the Romney camp. I’ll keep my fingers crossed, but this choice worries me for that reason.

The Bible plainly says to HAVE NO PART IN EVIL OR EVIL THAT MEN DO.
To recognize and uplift evil, as you do for gay people, is to DENY GOD and his laws.
I pity the poor person who does this and then finds out that he missed out on the glory of God.

Not only does it take Ryan’s talents out of Congress, it gives Obama’s team full access to turn the talk from the sour economy to senior citizens losing their benefits with Medicare. I can only think that this choice was made because:
1. The GOP hoped libertarians would mistake Paul Ryan with Rand Paul
2. Team Romney plans to play up the “religious discrimination!” card with a Mormon/Catholic ticket. Apparently they forgot that Biden is Catholic as well.
Seems Beck was right when he said Obama would win back in November. If Romney becomes the official candidate, he effectively just handed Obama a second term.

Posted on August 11, 2012 at 3:12pmI can’t figure out how to add my own direct comments. I do admit being a little concerned because this would take one of the most capable Republican leaders out of the House of Representatives, but then the Senate with Harry Reid won’t even discuss all of his hard work with a budget. On the other hands he’s a wonderful choice from what I have seen. I have watched Paul Ryan on Fox News and I was favorably impressed as he was quick to answer almost anything asked in a clear manner. Now it is hilarious to think about Joe Biden having to face a formidable speaker like Paul Ryan in a debate. He just might of wet his pants at the thought. Anyway, at least the Vice President does get to preside in the Senate and cast a tie-breaking vote in case it ends up real close. There’s no doubt Paul Ryan is someone who could step in and lead the country if needed. It is great that the Tea Party also likes him. I have had a bit of concern about drawing more of the Hispanic vote, though, namely because there are so many in my area, many of them owning businesses and farms and often quite conservative while Obama tries to draw them. I hope something will be done to reassure those voters. Here in California when one is a Conservative Republican it is frustrating to get your views represented from so many Ultra Liberal weirdos drowning out the many sensible people.

PAUL RYAN: Voted YES on No Child Left Behind, Patriot Act (and also voted to make it permanent), TARP Bailouts, Auto Bailouts, Obama Stimulus, and NDAA. He voted against medical marijuana. He also proposed $50Billion in “future” budget cuts while Rand Paul proposed $500Billion and Ron Paul proposed cutting $1 trillion in spending during the first year of his presidency, eliminating five cabinet departments (Energy, HUD, Commerce, Interior, and Education), abolishing the Transportation Security Administration and returning responsibility for security to private property owners, abolishing corporate subsidies, stopping foreign aid, ending foreign wars, and returning most other spending to 2006 levels.
This freedom hating, big-spending, bailout loving liberal is PERFECT for a liberal like Mitt Romney. I think liberal republicans prefer to be called progressives, but most of the people I know just call them RINOs.
I am not saying that Romney/Ryan is worse than Obama, and should they get elected, I would certainly expect maybe a couple changes for the good, but mostly I expect business as usual.

From the Blaze.com article you linked to:
“Now, don’t get us wrong: Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) would be an excellent choice if Romney is looking to fire up the conservative base. But he makes our list on the opposite end of “good.”
An incredibly strong fiscal conservative, Rep. Ryan is a leading voice in the war against wasteful government spending, a major proponent of tax and entitlement reform, and he’s an unabashed champion of free market principles. He is also the chair of the House Budget Committee, meaning he is deeply involved in drafting and promoting the Republican Party’s long-term strategies to balance the budget and reduce the deficit.
And this is exactly why we’d hate to see him get the VP nod.
Why would any conservative want to see him give up this incredibly important and influential post for one John Adams correctly referred to as both “laborious” and “wholly insignificant“?
No. Leave Rep. Ryan where he is. He’s needed there.”

Well i agree we are past the point of no return. I think the government has the tools, weapons, and fools to put down any type of civil war (or secession) that a people could try.
The only scenario i see is a economic collapse brought on by debt, entitlements, and spending. In that scenario there is a chance the federal government would become irrelevant and the power would return to the local levels. I dont know where it goes from there, but i see no other way for the people to take the power back from Washington

You Paul supporters should be pleased. You read the article and I commented on it also. What good does the genius of Ryan do in Congress with a Senate that won’t even vote on it and POTUS that submits one that gets voted down 100-0. . This pick by Romney brings the fiduciary issues facing the country front and center and the choice is clear. It isn’t about whether you like the Ryan budget, but do you like Romney clearly defining the choice facing the USA come November.
Ryan: Catholic…pro-life
Report Post »NRA: Supporter 2nd Amendment
10Th: Amendment…I think it’s clear with the non-sense in Wisconsin he supports States’ rights.
TARP: Needs to explain. My position would be let’s avoid the desperation again. Add the fact he didn’t know the Dems were going to waste it on non-sense.
Bailout: I didn’t like that vote either….secondary to me…GM is failing as I thought it would.
NDAA: “Some have argued that these provisions do not provide adequate protection for Americans and would allow the President to detain American citizens within the United States for an indefinite amount of time if he deems them a “terrorist.” This is not the case”. From his web site. I think you need to be doing more than sitting on your porch with a brew to be considered a terrorist. I’d rather he voted no.

I am actually relieved Romney did not pick Pawlenty or Portman. I was holding out hope that he would pick Rand Paul, so i am a little disappointed at the same time
I could likely vote for a Paul Ryan presidency in 2016/2020 if he were the nominee. If it were Ryan / Romney (Paul Ryan as the nominee), i would vote for him in november

Posted on August 11, 2012 at 9:34am@Inlightofthings, The NDAA does exactly that. There’s really no sugar coating it when the president said it did when he signed the thing. Of course he said he wasn’t going to use it. While drinking beer on the porch won’t make one a terrorist there are other things that are troubling. Loving liberty, buying large items with cash, being a veteran, loving our sovereignty, etc.
That being said, Paul Ryan is probably the least offensive of the folks that sold out our rights for security. Like you said, at least he’s not a gun grabber. He‘s much better than Romney that’s for sure. I do like the fact he’s working the cuts, and reforming entitlements in his budgets though wish they were deeper. Still it’s a step in the right direction. He should shore up the republican base nicely.

Posted on August 11, 2012 at 10:16amSoybomb315_ll this is what was said about Paul Ryan on the Blaze.
Now, don’t get us wrong: Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) would be an excellent choice if Romney is looking to fire up the conservative base. But he makes our list on the opposite end of “good.”
An incredibly strong fiscal conservative, Rep. Ryan is a leading voice in the war against wasteful government spending, a major proponent of tax and entitlement reform, and he’s an unabashed champion of free market principles. He is also the chair of the House Budget Committee, meaning he is deeply involved in drafting and promoting the Republican Party’s long-term strategies to balance the budget and reduce the deficit.
And this is exactly why we’d hate to see him get the VP nod.

Posted on August 11, 2012 at 3:12pmAll i am saying is that Theblaze concluded that Paul Ryan as VP would be a severe blow to the liberty/tea party movement. Nobody disagreed with the conclusions of Theblaze at the time. But now you all are calling it a great and wonderful thing that he will be the VP….
As others have pointed out, Theblaze said, “And this is exactly why we’d hate to see him get the VP nod.”
So why all the cheerleading and where is the concern? Why is there zero consistency around here?
Report Post »DrSnooks
Posted on August 11, 2012 at 3:29pmThe reason The Blaze had Paul Ryan on the worst choice list was because it would take a capable leader out of the House of Representatives where he could do a lot of good; so it was not really anything against Paul Ryan at all, other than he would not get to finish the work he had begun. With the Senate like it is and Harry Reid running it, there‘s no chance for all of the House’s hard work to even come up. Hopefully there will be a change in the Senate, but it is harder to come by than the House. Anyway, Paul Ryan seems to be most capable and admirable from the times I have seen him on Fox News and listened to him speak. I know one thing, he is going to be a very, very formidable and challenging opponent for Joe Biden to face. The Blaze also pointed out that John Adams thought being Vice President was the most useless job imaginable, that it would take a talented person out of his active role in government. However, he would be an asset to Romney and help motivate many conservatives and Tea Party folks with whom I have sympathy. He is definitely someone qualified to act as President as needed, and he would at least preside over the Senate and get to cast any votes if there’s a tie, which could happen.
