Regardless of who Romney picks as his vice president we will still have so much material against Romney who is the elitist of the elite who has no idea how to deal with a country or the needs that are required to move the country to success. We need jobs to return to America from the country where they are now. It is time that incentives are given to get jobs and work back in America. We do support President Obama. We do not approve of Mr. one percent Romney who is a real arrogant bigot who has already picked David Koch (who makes me sick) as one of his delegates. Romney and Koch are two peas in a pod and it is a rotten pod that Americans do not want in power.

If he picks Paul Ryan he will be picking someone that has made it his agenda to ruin Medicare, someone who has no compassion for the less fortunate and someone that has been attacked by the Catholic Nuns and the Catholic clerics for his lack of feelings toward the needy in the country. Most Americans have been harmed by the GOP policies of outsourcing, anti-regulation, anti-American war mongering and corruption. Their hateful behavior to do nothing for the economy, but criticize all the solutions that President Obama has come up with. Republicans have shown the distain they have for most Americans in the country.

It looks like it will be Rubio. Romney told his rich donors back in the Spring that unless the GOP’s support among Hispanics increased, the election was certainly lost. Despite some financial baggage and problems with falsifying his family history, Rubio’s popularity with the party right wing, and his being Hispanic seems to put him over the top.

If Romney picks Pawlenty or Portman, it means he is betting on winning by simply depressing Democratic turnout and hoping for the best.

If he picks Paul Ryan, it means he is not planning to win, and is working for Jeb Bush’s 2016 nomination. Not entirely unlikely.

DISGUSTED WITH GOP

Your right, Portman is the best of the bunch, he knows how to compromise and he’s not one of the hair on fire conservatives like Palin. Ryan is the male version of Palin, misinformed and totally out of touch with the middle class.

I doubt that Mitt will pick Portman who doesn’t mind a few revenue increases; Grover Norquist would go crazy and accuse Mitt of violating his pledge.

“Look at who we have as a current Vice President isn’t that a scary thought?”

Compared to Ayn Rand’s biggest fan, Paul Ryan? NO WAY.

Ryan asks all his staffers to read Ayn Rand’s fiction. And, Ryan’s budget reflects her fantasy land where there are only two layers in society: the wealthy “producers” and the poor “leeches”.
The GOP budget, predicted to actually INCREASE the nation debt by the CBO, is scary enough.

Actually, the smart money is on Rob Portman. No Republican has ever won the White House without winning Ohio. Portman could help deliver Ohio. Portman is the smartest and safest choice Willard could make.

Ryan is an excellent pick for us democrats. We’ll have his whole budget proposal to show the American people how far he and Mitt are from the middle class. Every proposal in his budget cuts middle class programs to the bone, including Social Security and Medicare, while rewarding the rich.

Hello America, August 10, 2012, I think Paul Ryan would make a fine choice, but I question the wisdom in moving him out of the Position as Speaker of The House, the Third Highest position in our Goverment. I believe I would leave Paul Ryan were he is, we will need him to defeat Obamacare, he has experience and strong influence in the House. and with more freshman Tea Party candidates coming in this fall in both the House and Senate, he will be able to give them the proper guidance they will need. An old buisness saying is “Don’t interfer with good help or supervisors, let them do their jobs” sincerely Fezzy Bear p.s. I know you all would want to know who Fezzy would pick? But I don’t know the other prospectives as well, I think I would go with the advice of the conservative leadrship, the selected candidate must be absolutely free of scandal, and Able, Able to take the on position of President, if needed. of course look who we already have as a President or look at who we have as a current Vice President isn’t that a scary thought? I guess just about anyone would fill the bill as easily. you couldn’t get much worse. with no other Executive experience, one year in the Senate, Barrack Obama never attended any votes, and into the Presidency. what were the people of this nation thinking?
