The Florida papers are destroying Ryan. So much so that a distraught and panicked Village believes "Romney is in big, big trouble" for selecting the man who wants to pull the plug on Grandma. The very first available headlines from the all important swing state of Florida are devastating. Rolling out your vice presidential nominee is one of the most crucial aspects of every campaign, and from judging from the headlines, Romney has completely blown it. On the evening news, a visibly shaken Chuck Todd reported the 2012 campaign has not touched on Medicare, but now, all of the sudden, it is front and center, and it will be a big part of voters' decisions in November. Todd is the quintessential political reporter. He phones around Washington and interviews the establishment players, who are largely Republican, and then synthesizes their inside views and reports it as conventional wisdom. The professionals and insiders view Ryan as box office poison. said Todd. Adding the despair and dread felt among those paid to elect Republicans, Todd continued, This is the perfect wedge issue. This desperate, panicked move by Romney to quell the Teabag base has now placed Boehner, Cantor, and the House in jeopardy. It unites our side and divides their candidates. Are they going to stand with Ryan and Rush Limbaugh or will they stand with seniors? Are they with them or are they against them. If you pick seniors, the base stays home. If you pick the base, then seniors with poke them with a pitchfork. The entire Republican party faces, yet again, another Bataan Death March. For the next 90 days they're going to be pummeled by either the base or by seniors. It's a lose-lose situation with Team Obama applying relentless pressure, as they did again today, pushing how Ryan plans to kill Medicare, along with Bubbie and Zayde, on all the Sunday shows. And just wait until October when the Romney abortion profiteer ads begin running, further demoralizing the base. 
Ryan's plan to make cuts to Medicare have been very unpopular when they’ve been tested with focus groups,
when you look at older voters, this issue is a big, big problem for Romney, that he’s going to have to figure out how to deal with

Who are you voting for Ferret? I am writing in Ron Paul if I have to. I will not vote for either Obama or Romney. God is always good!
I find it very strange that the MSM won't address the fact that VP Joe Biden has been shoved into the shut-the-fuck-up closet because he's a goddamned moron. Every time Biden opens his mouth he shits all over himself.

I am writing in Dr. Paul too.

Yeah, he has the same brand of utter incompetence Ted, the newscaster on the Mary Tyler Moore Show. Though a debate between him and Cantor would be entertaining to the extreme.

Meanwhile, back in Florida, the blue haired grannys get our GOP Mormon candidate cornered on a cruise ship...

The answer is.... No You don't GAS who created the US Constitution. You're a liberal Obama shill. It is people like you pervert, scum CCA's that have brought this country to its knees! yukon posted on 2012-08-13 3:31:17 ET Reply Trace http://www.libertypost.org/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=324552&Disp=35#C35 It doesn't matter that Sally has banished any thought of open Obama support in eLPee, because like men in prison invent their own women out of punks, Yukon tries to invent an Obama supporter out of Hondo. Bad mistake, Hondo will make him his bitch. #35. To: hondo68TTOR (#34)

This is the *exact* candidate the Koch bros and their friends wanted in the VP slot. And of course Willard is trying to distance the big money powers from this choice so he can pretend this is not so. They bought the candidates and now they are trying to buy the election. Make no mistake. Billions are on the line for them.

Done! I'm writing in Ron Paul too. No sense in panicking, Mitt's always been the presumed loser. Hondo will make him his bitch.
My joy over McCain's defeat, is offset by my disappointment over hObama's victory.

I have to wonder if the choice of Ryan was to ensure that Romney loses? Given the perverse games played over that last 20+ years with the pResidential (s)Election I am wondering if Oh'bummer has been tagged for a second term to finish his job of destroying the Republic. Bush I took a dive, Dole took a dive, Kerry took a dive, and Ron Paul has been locked out via massive fraud. I don't have a firm conclusion yet, but it is shaping up to be another shell game.

It would quickly devolve into a who's-a-bigger-supporter-of-Israel shriekfest, with Hymie Cantor winning by tearfully invoking The Holoco$t. Though a debate between him and Cantor would be entertaining to the extreme.

Unless an evil KKK-meteor hits the White House I don't see how Obummer can lose the upcoming (s)election, I believe that he's The Chosen Mutt Du Jour to give us four more years of misery and outrage. The only question that remains is: will Mitt shed a tear during his concession speech as he vows to "keep fighting for America!" on behalf of the GOP??

BS. "I am writing in Dr. Paul...."

ROFLOL!!!!! Indeed! You called a spade a spade.

Good! The entire Republican party faces, yet again, another Bataan Death March.

I am leaning toward agreement. It is shaping up like the last circus - a couple of feints, a little misdirection to keep the suckers engaged, and then they stick it in.

How many ass-whippings can the GOP take before they bust wide open?? Bob Dole in 1996, Juan McStain in 2008, now Mitt the Mormon in 2012, and people keep giving money to these hucksters when they should know that the (s)election is as phony as is Obama's marriage to the Cannibal Empress.

They have their differences. They are fighting over real money and power. But they have a lot more in common with each other than with normal folk. Democrats stab whites in the front.that the (s)election is as phony
Republicans stab whites in the back.

Fuck you meanie. My support for Dr. Paul has gotten me the boot from places like the KOS and DU. I have also been doing grass roots work here in Eugene promoting Dr. Paul's ideas on many things. believe what you want to though, it ultimately is your problem, not mine. BS.

Your credibility is my problem? Would you care to reconcile the following two statements? Ferret Mike posted on 2009-12-14 23:36:21 ET Reply Trace Private Reply "I am writing in Dr. Paul....."

My credibility is fine. It would not be had I not had a change of opinion on Barack Obama. I also supported Richard Nixon in 1968, and Johnson over Goldwater in 1964. I have changed my mind on both men. Attacking based on an opinion before it was changed by subsequent events is just lowbrow harassment. So again, stick a fork in it.
