Thread: Romney/Ryan 2012

This is what “FORWARD” really looks like
By Michelle Malkin • August 11, 2012 09:45 AM

Yes. PHEW.

After a week marred by a not-ready-for-prime-time staffer who had movement conservatives questioning Team Romney’s competence, sanity, and willingness to fight the brass-knuckles White House and Chicago thug operatives, the Romney campaign made the right decision.

And the Right decision.

Fittingly, the motto of the USS Wisconsin on which Romney/Ryan made their announcement is “Forward for Freedom.”

Paul Ryan is fresh, young, energetic, smart, courageous, and ready for prime time.

Paul Ryan is a policy wonk AND a front-line warrior whose budget and long-term entitlement reforms have the entire Dem-Soros-lapdog media machine unhinged.

Paul Ryan is ready to fight false media narratives.

Paul Ryan is battle-tested against the White House.

Paul Ryan won’t cut and run when the going gets tough.

The Dems and their media water-carriers are invoking the the NY-26 loss as evidence that Ryan is a drain on GOP electoral prospects. They’ve misread those results completely and the Dems’ blind hubris and demagoguing overreach will be their downfall. Reminder:
http://michellemalkin.com/2011/05/25...he-ny-26-loss/

I’ve had my doubts about GOP Rep. Paul Ryan’s commitment to fiscal conservatism in the past, but his mettle is being tested and this is his moment.

Beltway Republicans are going wobbly in the wake of the GOP’s NY-26 loss — seen as a referendum on the Ryan Medicare overhaul plan.

William Jacobson at Legal Insurrection draws bottom-line lessons from the NY race:

There were so many quirks about this race that it’s hard to draw simple conclusions, but I think the following apply (in no particular order):

* A third party candidate can make a difference, and in this case Davis certainly drew more away from Corwin than Hochul.
* The Tea Party brand is powerful. A phony like Davis, who petitioned his way onto the ballot and then chose to call his ballot line the “Tea Party” line still managed to draw a significant vote.
* National Republicans need to get their act together. This is not a district which should have been ignored for so long. The challenge from Davis was noted by me and others in early April.
* The ability of Democrats to scare grandma should not be underestimated. Republicans need to be very proactive and very hard hitting is getting ahead of Democrats and explaining not only that no one currently receiving Medicare will be affected, but that the current system will result in severe rationing if changes are not made.
…
* In the face of the Democratic scare grandma machine, nice guys and gals will finish last.

…
* The MSM will message for Democrats all day long. Already last night the NY Times rand a banner “Rubuke Seen To Medicare Plan.”

For his part, Ryan is not running from the fundamental battle over entitlements and free-market reform. While Democrats shriek and moan about seniors rolling off cliffs, Ryan’s out with a sober, serious, adult conversation on the long-term structural changes needed to keep the system solvent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=DJIC7kEq6kw

Tea Party activists need to stand by Ryan and buck him up when the GOP establishment cuts and runs. Fiscal conservatism must not be beholden to electoral cycles. This is what real leadership looks like.

All that said: A strong movement conservative in the VP slot is a necessary, but not sufficient, ingredient for a winning ticket that provides a clear contrast to the backward, profligate, big government Democratic duo in the White House.

Paul Ryan helps to Right the listing Romney ship.

It’s a great relief.

Now, all together: FIGHT!

***

Watch the video. The contrast couldn’t be clearer:

GOP: We have a plan to solve the massive unfunded liabilities crisis and restore fiscal responsibility in Washington.

Democrats: “”We don’t have a definitive solution…We just don’t like yours.”

http://michellemalkin.com/2012/08/11...ly-looks-like/

Best line of Ryan’s speech this morning?

“We will not replace our founding principles, we will reapply them.”

Right. On.

***

Here come the big-spending Big Labor goons to decry “fat cats.” Snort:

National Education Association President Dennis Van Roekel released the following statement reacting to Gov. Mitt Romney’s selection of Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) as his Vice Presidential running mate.

“For weeks, there’s been speculation about who Gov. Romney would choose to be his running mate and what it would mean. And now we have our answer. By selecting Ryan, Romney has doubled down on his view that opportunity is only for those who can afford it or are willing to game the system. He’s shown yet again that he is more willing to help the rich get richer than ensuring middle class families get ahead.

“Ryan’s position on fundamental education issues like funding for early childhood education and efforts to keep class sizes small don’t speak to ensuring that every child in this country gets a quality education, it continues Romney’s misguided and out of touch mentality that class size doesn’t matter and children should get as much education as they can ‘afford’. Elections are about choices, and Governor Romney’s VP selection indicates that once again he chose the corporate fat cats and Wall Street barons over students, teachers, bus drivers, nurses and secretaries. The three million members of NEA know you can’t put Americans back to work by cutting jobs, educate our kids by laying off teachers, or level the playing field for small businesses by rigging it in favor of big corporations.

“Ryan was the architect of the budget plan that would have gutted Medicare and converted it to a voucher program. Ryan and Romney have shown over and over again that they are more willing to run up trillion dollar deficits to help the rich get richer while undercutting opportunity for middle class families.

“These are the positions and policies of Governor Romney. And so NEA members know enough to know that a Romney-Ryan administration is bad for our students, families and the wrong direction for America.”

Andrea Mitchell: Paul Ryan not a pick for suburban moms, not a pick for women
By Doug Powers • August 11, 2012 02:37 PM

After Mitt Romney announced his choice of Paul Ryan today, NBC Chief White House Spokeswoman/Correspondent Andrea Mitchell took the the baton handoff from the Obama administration for her leg of the “war on women” relay: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/vid...for_women.html

Andrea Mitchell loses her voice while reacting to the Paul Ryan speech: “This is a base election. This is not a pick for suburban moms, this is not a pick for women.”

Hey, if women don’t mind Mrs. Alan Greenspan speaking on their behalf about what they find appealing, that’s their business, but I think many of them will object.

Ed Morrissey over at Hot Air mentioned that Ryan scored best among women from within the pool of Romney running-mate possibles. Seniors, as of last year anyway, preferred Ryan’s budget plan over Obama’s. So when beacons of objectivity like Andrea Mitchell claim today that Ryan is not a pick for women, or tomorrow that he’s not a pick for seniors, she’s simply projecting the concerns of Democrats she campaigns for every day.

I am seeing an editorial here. Is she a journalist or a commentator? All objectivity is lost here.

..

If the obsolete media hates him that much then he must be a terrific choice

..

Her blink rate suggests she has a pretty good idea she is lying. Odd thing though, when she blinks her lids don’t close all the way. Snake like.

..

Andrea Mitchell has a real American Pravda Media nose for the “news”. She is having problems speaking and planning on how to sharpen up her hatchet for some work on Paul Ryan and The Mittster.

The same “reporter” who set up Governor Sarah Palin by taping a 5 hour interview with the ‘Cuda. And then selectively editing and taking out of context enough to show her as a stupid dimwitted ChillBilly from Alaska. The ‘Cuda got smarter and avoids these gotcha interviews with the APM like she avoids angry Mama Grizzly bears!
***
I hope Romney and Ryan have learned from the ‘Cuda experiences. Don’t give the enemy any unfired ammo. Only the hot smoking stuff going their way! They seem to be shooting themselves in the foot a lot these days.

Since when is Andrea Mitchell a suburban mom? Does she even know any suburban moms? D.C. suburbs don’t count, as they’re the richest in the nation.

National Boosting Choomba network news flash:::

Chief Occupy White House spokeshole Dandrea Ratchell has discovered that the Paul Ryan plan for national mental health is to feed baby cats to baby crocodiles.

When asked why he would suggest such a thing, VP candidate Ryan did not respond, saying he didn’t accept the premise of the question. This proves Rep. Ryan intends to round up baby cats and feed them to baby crocodiles.

In fact, according to spokeshole Ratchell, there will be film at 11 showing this very thing done by Rep. Ryan himself. (Film courtesy Industrial Light and Magic.)

The LSM is already gearing up for a Palinesque character assassination.

Character assassination and personal attacks will be their focus – and the issues will be contorted into lies. They already had dossiers on all the potential running mates so they’d be prepared no matter who was chosen.

Paul Ryan, Romney’s earnest opposite
5 hrs ago.

In 1996, bedeviled by conservative doubts about his tax-cutting credentials, Bob Dole named Jack Kemp -- the fervent champion of free-market economics – as his running mate. Sixteen years later, confronting lingering right-wing skepticism about his conservative pedigree, Mitt Romney picked Paul Ryan – a former Kemp speechwriter – as his vice-presidential nominee.

Romney played against type in his surprise selection of the youthful seven-term Wisconsin congressman, who was considered a long-shot until the last few days. Rather than choosing a make-no-waves running mate like Ohio Sen. Rob Portman or former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Romney opted for a free-market ideologue over a political man for all seasons.

The veep choice is probably the best pre-election preview of how Romney would govern from the Oval Office. By going with Ryan -- whose well-publicized budget proposals put both traditional Medicare and Social Security in the cross-hairs – Romney is signaling that he can change direction with stunning speed. Instead of a predictable recite-America-the-Beautiful campaign designed to make Barack Obama the issue, Romney has added policy heft and controversy to his I-can-create-jobs bromides.

Introducing Ryan in Norfolk on Saturday morning, Romney called him “the next president of the United States.” (Obama made an analogous slip-up in 2008.) While it would take a Freudian to unpack what Romney meant subconsciously, it is safe to say that Ryan would provide the domestic agenda for Romney as the next president of the United States.

To Democrats, Paul Ryan is both literally and metaphorically two four-letter words. The Ryan budget, which passed the House in 2011 with only four dissenting Republican votes, would gradually turn Medicare into a voucher program and slash state funding for Medicaid. Although it is not in the House-passed plan, Ryan has also been a passionate advocate of private accounts for Social Security. The Romney-Ryan ticket is now on record as advocating the largest downsizing of popular federal programs since the ill-fated 1964 Barry Goldwater crusade.

What we still don’t have is an entirely reliable account of how and when Romney arrived at Ryan. Was he always the stealth favorite or was there a last-minute shift within the Mitt inner sanctum? The inside story will have to wait until the full how-a-great-man-makes-a-decision deliberate leaks from inside the Romney camp and, maybe, until the books published after the campaign.

The timing matters because there could be another less charitable interpretation of the route to Ryan – Romney can be rolled. In the last few days, both the Wall Street Journal editorial page and the Weekly Standard enthusiastically endorsed Ryan for vice president. The New York Times captured the conservative mood with a Thursday headline: “Romney Faces Pressure from Right to Put Ryan on Ticket.”

Since early indications are that Romney decided on Ryan in the last 10 days, that pressure may have arrived as a seismic shock in Romney headquarters. If Romney actually abandoned Portman or Pawlenty to placate the GOP base, it suggests that he would govern by always nervously looking over his right shoulder.

Critics have sniffed that Ryan lacks the foreign-policy pedigree that Romney as a former governor needs. But, with the exception of Portman’s short stint as George W. Bush’s trade czar, the same can be said of all the apparent GOP finalists. At least Ryan offers nearly 14 years of congressional experience, which is more than you can say about current and former governors like Pawlenty, Bobby Jindal and Chris Christie. And, by the way, the last ticket totally devoid of Washington credentials was the one nominated by the Republicans in 1948. And somehow, I suspect, Romney does not want to emulate Tom Dewey in grabbing defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Ryan is, in many ways, the antithesis of Romney. The 42-year-old congressman from Janesville has spent virtually his entire career in the public sector or in the think tank arena. Ryan has been a consistent true believer while Romney has -- to put it charitably -- followed a zigzag course.

Back in 1998, during the Bill Clinton impeachment election, I came to Janesville to cover a hotly contested House race for an open seat featuring a 28-year-old wunderkind Republican named (what a coincidence) Paul Ryan. I recall the fledging candidate walking me around downtown Janesville to show the houses and the historical markers that trace his family’s influence on this small industrial city since the late nineteenth century.

But what stays with me was the earnestness and policy-oriented seriousness of Ryan, even then. When I asked him about Clinton’s conduct, he avoided the fire-breathing rhetoric that was a GOP staple that year and instead said softly, "I think the wrong way to go is to go down a partisan, bitter route." What he wanted to talk about was tax cutting and Jack Kemp with a dollop of Ayn Rand thrown in. When I suggested that his election over Democrat Lydia Spottswood would be interpreted as an endorsement of the Republican impeachment strategy, he replied, "I hope it isn't written that way. I hope it's interpreted that my ideas are better than hers.”

Despite the nearly three decades that separate them in age, Joe Biden and Paul Ryan embody the political principle that it is far better in career terms to reach Congress as a young man than someone more seasoned. (Biden was not yet 30 when he was elected to the Senate in 1972). For all their conflicting styles and ideologies, both vice-presidential candidates exude an enthusiasm for politics, the press and policy debates that Obama and Romney somehow lack.

In a recent interview with Ryan Lizza for a New Yorker profile, Ryan expressed his scorn for presidential candidates who “run on vague platitudes and generalities.” With his bold vice-presidential pick, Romney has embraced the a-choice-not-an-echo theory of presidential politics.

If nothing else, putting Paul Ryan on the ticket guarantees that the Oct. 11 vice-presidential debate will be destination television viewing. And however the politics sort themselves out, the 2012 presidential election has suddenly become interesting as well as merely important.

Ryan: Obama has 'record of failure'
By STEVE PEOPLES | Associated Press – 3 hrs ago.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Mitt Romney's running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, wasted little time tearing into President Barack Obama on Saturday, lambasting the Democrat's "record of failure" just hours after being named to the GOP ticket.

Moving into a role as Romney's chief attack dog, Ryan declared Saturday that the nation under Obama's leadership is struggling through the "worst economic recovery in 70 years."

"No one disputes President Obama inherited a difficult situation," Ryan said, standing at Romney's side for the first time as the Republican presidential ticket on the USS Wisconsin, a retired battleship. "And, in his first two years, with his party in complete control of Washington, he passed nearly every item on his agenda. But that didn't make things better."

Romney selected the 42-year-old Ryan, a seven-term congressman, from a short list that included Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell.

Ryan is the architect of a conservative and intensely controversial long-term budget plan to remake Medicare and cut trillions in federal spending. His selection immediately thrusts those budget plans into the forefront of the presidential contest.

Obama's campaign manager, Jim Messina, called Ryan "the architect of the radical Republican House budget" proposal and said the plan "would end Medicare as we know it."

"We won't duck the tough issues," Ryan said during his acceptance speech. "We will lead."

As his family came on stage, Ryan knelt to embrace his 10-year-old daughter, Liza, and sons Charles, 8, and Sam, 7, before kissing his wife, Janna.

The GOP ticket made its debut at a naval museum in Norfolk, Va., the initial stop of a bus tour through four battleground states in as many days. It seemed likely a stop in Ryan's home state would be added to previously scheduled appearances in Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and Ohio.

As part of the tour, Romney and Ryan stopped at a bakery in Ashland, Va., to buy pie. Asked if saying yes to Romney was an easy decision, Ryan said: "It was. It was. We've got to save the country."

At a subsequent event at a college gymnasium, the walls were decorated with printed and handmade Romney signs, but none touted Ryan — an indication of the secrecy that surrounded the announcement.

Romney initially made his revelation to supporters via a phone app Saturday morning. "Mitt's Choice for VP is Paul Ryan," it said and implored backers to spread the word.

One campaign official said Romney had settled on Ryan as his pick on Aug. 1, more than a week ago, and informed Beth Myers, the longtime aide who had shepherded the secretive process that led to the selection. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was unauthorized to provide details.

During his formal remarks, the congressman blamed Obama for the nation's unemployment rate that has exceeded 8 percent for more than three years, the longest run since the Great Depression. "Higher unemployment, declining incomes and crushing debt is a not a new normal. It is a result of misguided policies," Ryan said.

Ryan is chairman of the House Budget Committee and primary author of conservative tax-and-spending blueprints that the tea party-infused Republican majority approved over Democratic opposition in 2011 and again in 2012. It envisions transforming Medicare into a program in which future seniors would receive government checks that they could use to purchase health insurance. Under the current program, the government directly pays doctors, hospitals and other health care providers. Ryan and other supporters say the change is needed to prevent the program from financial calamity. Critics argue it would impose ever-increasing costs on seniors.

Other elements of the budget plan would cut projected spending for Medicaid, which provides health care for the poor, as well as food stamps, student loans and other social programs that Obama and Democrats have pledged to defend.

Ryan's budget plan died in the Democrat-controlled Senate. "Our rights come from nature and from God, not government," Ryan said. "That's who we are. We promise equal opportunity, not equal outcomes."

"Our rights come from nature and from God, not government," Ryan said. "That's who we are. We promise equal opportunity, not equal outcomes."

I think I'm liking this guy.... I want to hear more.

*sigh* God in politics ? Our rights came nature and from God? Come on really ? Let me quess, he hunts moose.

What a crock of shlt.

Well, if one believes that the big bang created the earth and it's inhabitants, then it's just "nature"....if one believes that God had a hand in "nature" then it would be God & nature. Either way, I believe the point being is that government is not where our "rights" came from. There's a certain "humanity" that trumps any government "given" right.

This may say it a bit better.....

You see, when conservatives like myself refer to rights, we’re talking about God-given rights. To put it into the perspective of history, we specifically hearken back to the words Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

Keep in mind, Jefferson’s phrasing includes the words “among these.” That means life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are mere starting points. All rights, however, have one thing in common: they are God-given. Man does not give rights to other men; wealth does not convey rights; governments do not grant rights.

And really, it’s that last one that is most important and relevant here. Governments do not have the power to give or to grant rights to the people they govern. In truth, a government in and of itself has no rights or powers aside from those given to it by its people. That is a foundational principle of our republic, and that very idea was also put in ink by Jefferson: “That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the consent of the governed.”

Declaration of Independence a crock? I can see if what he said was followed by "say yay-yah!" with Tammy Fay applauding in the background, then maybe.

IMO Just because "God" appears in a sentence doesn't mean the whole concept needs to be thrown out the window as fanatic speak, it may also apply in other "terms" as well, but to each his own.

They're not the Blues Bros....

Media Pwned By Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan Pick and Tricks

Read it all via ABC News. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics...ed-the-press/#

The media was just as fooled at the Ryan pick as they are today blathering on about potentially disastrous consequences from it. As with the reporters in front of Ryan's home, the press always thinks it knows things it doesn't know. This ticket can win with a winning message delivered to an electorate far from pleased with what's taken place in America over the last three years. The key will not be fighting with the media, but going around and over it directly to the people, just as all winning campaigns with an antagonistic press must do.

Mitt Romney decided on Paul Ryan on Aug. 1, the day after returning from his trip overseas to the Olympics in London and to Israel and Poland. The candidate and his campaign kept the secret for nine days, according to campaign sources. Romney and Ryan met secretly on August 5th, after the decision had been made and just before Romney submitted to round-the-clock coverage by reporters who had been traveling with him.

Then the body doubles pulled curtains closed, eliminating the silhouettes.

Throughout the morning there was no movement at the home. A few local police cars rolled by occasionally to gauge the press’s activities.

By this morning ABC’s Jon Karl confirmed Ryan was already in Virginia and the reporters in Wisconsin were eluded.

Esquire Blogger Sees Paul Ryan, Shreds His Safety Net

By W. James Antle, III on 8.11.12 @ 3:42PM


Whenever anyone talks about cutting government spending -- or even, as is more often the case, slightly slowing its rate of growth -- they face the wildest accusations. Think Newt Gingrich and the orphanages, the millions of children who were going to die in the streets after welfare reform, the homelessness allegedly created by Reagan during the Decade of Greed.

Here is your most unhinged attack of the day, brought to you by Esquire: http://www.esquire.com/blogs/politic...7?src=soc_twtr

Make no mistake. In his decision to make Paul Ryan, the zombie-eyed granny-starver from Wisconsin, his running mate, Romney finally surrendered the tattered remnants of his soul not only to the extreme base of his party, but also to extremist economic policies, and to an extremist view of the country he seeks to lead. This is unimaginable to those of us who lived here under Romney's barely perceptible stewardship of the Commonwealth (God save it!).

The headline? "Paul Ryan: murderer of opportunity, political coward, candidate for vice president of the United States."

UPDATE: Via Jeremy Lott, http://www.patheos.com/blogs/jeremyl...n-pick-so-far/ here is the runner-up: http://www.tnr.com/blog/plank/106035...ly-risk-averse

Ryan is the way Romney and his aides escape blame for their now-likely defeat—blame which would have vicious and unrelenting—and pin it in on conservatives instead. With only minor historical revisions, they will be able to tell a story about how Romney was keeping the race close through early August, at which point the party’s conservative darling joined the ticket and sent the poll numbers into steady decline.

Now I don't dispute that this is how the Romneyites and moderate Republicans will spin a Romney-Ryan defeat. But the idea that a man as ambitious as Romney is already at this early stage planning on spinning his defeat and is going to spend grueling months on the campaign trail -- having already spent vast sums of his personal fortune -- on a doomed campaign doesn't pass the laugh test.

Scores of women mysteriously appear at Romney/Ryan rally, Andrea Mitchell stumped
By Doug Powers • August 12, 2012 06:13 PM

Yesterday, NBC’s Andrea Mitchell claimed that Mitt Romney’s choice of Paul Ryan as his running mate was “not a pick for women.” If that’s true, how can Mitchell explain why there are so many women in these pictures. http://legalinsurrection.com/2012/08...high-point-nc/

And these. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...1&l=662a065db8

And these. http://twitchy.com/2012/08/12/romney...p-ready-to-go/

And this one. https://twitter.com/sreinecke/status...176256/photo/1

And these. http://maroonedinmarin.blogspot.com/...mney-ryan.html

Were those women on their way to a Sandra Fluke speech and got lost? http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics...-women-voters/ They might have been by the time Mitchell files her report later.

The inside of Andrea Mitchell’s head probably looks something like this,

so she may find it surprising that plenty of women will not only support Paul Ryan on the ticket,
but might be re-energized as a result.

In general, the Ryan pick has so far been a booster rocket for the Romney campaign: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...116540572.html

The crowds at Romney rallies swelled to the thousands and grew more raucous in the wake of his vice presidential pick—and the running mates’ Midwestern roots became a major theme.

The weekend’s appearances offered the first glimpse of what Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign now looks like, after adding Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin to the ticket. Mr. Romney spent Saturday and Sunday basking in the bump from his new No. 2, as the duo drew crowds of thousands—not previously a regular occurrence for Mr. Romney—and were greeted with raucous applause.

In related news, Paul Ryan is already appearing on Shepard Fairey inspired shirt designs, albeit a little more grounded in reality.

I have heard from one liberal today that women will reject Ryan because he’s Catholic. Just one more example of liberal intolerance going all the way back to segregation. Phooey!

..

Looks like the Romney/Ryan campaign will have to be getting larger venues. If the size of these crowds are indicative, the pick of Paul Ryan is just what Romney needed. No wonder the state controlled media and the Obama people (redundant) are scared out of their undies

“One picture is the front of the line, one picture kinda the back, EXCEPT my camera can’t capture two and a half blocks of people.”

“Many are actually women (the shock).”

I too am really looking forward to voting for Romney / Ryan in Nov.

While not exactly equipped to say what is attractive to women, I think seeing a man acting completely selflessly to come to the aid of a friend in dire need is attractive to everyone of substance;
