My real problem with the Ryan choice

Has a hollow ring coming from you. You attempt to derail every topic that puts Obama in a bad light.

Clean your own house before you lecture others on how to clean theirs.

 

Especially if someone unplugged the teleprompter.

 

I will say that Ryan represents Romney's best choice, if he wants a chance to hold onto Congress at the mid-terms.

 

Reading the posts following this one where you ask the question, I would have to say, no it will not get back on the topic of the OP.

But having said that I will try to head back that direction. After reading a number of articles it is apparent that Romney and Ryan have not agreed on a whole lot of issues in the past. So, whose agenda will they follow. Isn't this a problem for Romney, having a VP who he has not agreed with in the past?

Who will compromise Romney or Ryan?

As Romney has been evasive on what he really will do and Ryan has been quite specific on what he would like it appears Romney may be in danger of running for president while being second in the media coverage of ideas. That does not bode well for him IMHO.[/

 

Your deep concern for the Republican ticket is heart rending :tear::tear: and hypocritical!:laugh::laugh:

 

There are declared atheists and practicing atheists. Ayn Rand was a declared atheist. It appears to me that Obama is a practicing atheist. The following Scripture defines Obama perfectly:

Proverbs 8:16-10
16. These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17. A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18. An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19. A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

1. Obama is arrogant!
2. Obama is a liar!
3. Obama is a facilitator of the slaughter of the unborn!
4. Obama has denied American exceptionalism and apologized to all who would listen!
5. Obama has moved this country in the direction of economic dictatorship!
6. Obama has lied repeatedly about those who disagree with him!
7. Obama promised a new tone in DC but his opening remarks to the opposition was "We won you lost!"

 

Looking back through this thread, I see C.T.Boy was the first to bring up a disagreement with Ayn Rand. It seems, if the originator of the O/P was concerned about staying on topic, that would have been the proper time to bring it back. But instead, he chose to engage in it. It seems one sided to let one person get away with it, but admonish others.

 

>I don't accept that governments need to act in a Christlike manner - that is the role of the church.


Pay someone else to kill a commie for Christ???????????

 

Ryan is a great choice. Not only is he right about the economy but he is known for his focus on it and it has now forced Obama to stay on task and talk about the real issue of this campaign which is Obama's miserable record.

 

Each person and each situation is different. It's rare if not unique for a powerful member of the House to be chosen as a VP candidate. Just the fact that you are talking about a House member as a possible future president is probably a first for you. Ryan is very intelligent, knowledgeable, articulate and charismatic. He's not Walter Mondale or Dan Quayle, he's a force to be reckoned with and everyone knows it. If Romney/Ryan loses, he'll still be a very prominent member of the House and still have a future as a candidate for National office. If they win, and Romney has a successful 2 term presidency and is still popular in 2020, Ryan will be in a very strong position to succeed him. In either case, everything he has going for him transcends any past patterns regarding VP candidates. In the just concluded Olympics, Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps both accomplished things no one else had ever done. People who are special enough can do that, and I strongly suspect Ryan will demonstrate that same quality as a politician.

 

He was just named on Saturday. You're jumping the gun.

 

I do not see how my response was off the OP. The thread is talking about our real concern about Ryan. My real concern is his philosophy based on Ayn Rand. I am not responsible for how others respond.

Yours is that VP's disappear in history. You are correct, history is on your side on this one.

It seems to me that anyone with a concern about Ryan can bring it up in the thread. Is this correct in your opinion?

 

I have no idea how you came to this conclusion. And quite frankly it is a little weird.

 

Ok but it is kind of conspiracy theorist like to suggest that the GOP plans this out.
