The selection of Paul Ryan to be Mitt Romney's running mate has elicited almost universally positive reactions from Texas republicans. One exception to that has been the response of Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas. Paul's disdain for Ryan suggests that the vice presidential candidate has his critics on the right as well as the left. His dislike of Ryan is shared by many of his supporters, if not by mainstream Texas Republicans. Ron Paul: Ryan budget doesn't cut enough On an interview on the Fox Business Network, Paul suggested that the Ryan budget, roundly condemned as draconian and extreme by Democrats, does not cut enough spending. The Ryan budget, for example, does not balance the budget for 30 years. Paul's budget balances the budget in two years. Paul also points out that Ryan's budget, unlike his, would not eliminate cabinet departments and agencies wholesale. Paul also suggests that "overseas militarism" needs to be cut, which the Ryan budget does not. Other Texas Republicans hail the Ryan choice The Austin American Statesman reports that other Texas Republicans are generally positive about the Paul Ryan pick. Gov. Rick Perry suggested that the pick of a man he calls a "budget hawk" proves that Romney is serious about downsizing government. Even former President George W. Bush, who usually eschews speaking out on current political issues, praised the choice of Ryan, suggesting that Ryan would help Romney address the problems that face the United States. Paul Ryan an 'imitation Ron Paul' In a piece quoted in the Daily Paul and run in the Bedford Patch, Jane Aitkin, the founder of the New Hampshire Tea Party Coalition and a Ron Paul supporter, expressed her disdain of the Ryan choice. Quoting a number of votes that she suggested proved that Ryan was not a fiscal conservative, Aitkin quoted an unnamed "noted liberty activist" as saying that Ryan was an "imitation Ron Paul." Lew Rockwell: Ryan a 'lying politician' and a 'neocon' The "liberty activist" may be Lew Rockwell, a former chief of staff for Paul and the editor of some of his newsletters, as the term "imitation Ron Paul" is the heading of his blog post on the Ryan selection. Rockwell accused Ryan of being a "neocon" and a champion of war and "global domination by the US Empire." Rockwell also suggested that Ryan was a "lying politician" who only pretended to want to cut spending. Finally, Ryan is warmly supported by Bill Kristol, the editor of the Weekly Standard, which seems to be to his deficit according to Rockwell. Texas resident Mark Whittington writes about state issues for the Yahoo! Contributor Network. Poster Comment: According to the Wisconsin Republican Liberty Caucus, the Wisconsin congressman actually voted with the Bush Administration’s agenda of unprecedented federal expansion 94% of the time, and it may surprise his fiscally conservative fans to know that Paul Ryan’s voting record includes votes for the TARP bailouts, the auto bailouts, the massive Bush Medicare expansion, the unprecedented federal intrusion into public education via No Child Left Behind, the 2008 stimulus package, and the $192B 2009 stimulus package. Paul Ryan also voted for NDAA, the (un)-patriot act, warantless surveillance, keeping our troops in Iraq and will push global militarism. Budget hawk? Conservative? Liberty minded? None of these describe Paul Ryan. James • Just another Neocon! Cut spending domestically, but increase it to start wars with Russia and Syria. Syria and Russia should be America's friends. More trade less war!+19 El • The jews media runs the same garbage day-in day-out….. Neither romberg and his “dork”….nor bozo and his “dork”… stand a chance of a snowball in hell…. Against the “people’s choice”….prez ron paul. Ron must stay un-jew-owned….. And choose a traditional white non-jew vp to win. Ameriwitz “must” dump aipac and its perennial puppets. And 50,000,000 mex migrants must be sent “home”. We can’t afford the slums. now….yay-hoo will make my letter-case small.+2

Well one shouldn't cry about the contract after making deals with the devil. Paul doesn't like Romney's VP choice? Maybe he shouldn't of endorsed Romney. Fuck him. ____________________________________________________________ . . . The US government has declared civil war on itself. Its lust for war grew so great... Liberty before death. We run , we live, We fight again, till we win. We did not start this fight. We damn sure did not willingly pay our taxes to buy the bullets and drones that shall be used to kill us. We will correct the violations of this rogue nation....our rogue nation. We will fix this because nobody else can. You will work to help me help us all to fix this failure. After you're done educating yourself, Action!!!
Been busy taking care of a family member, but I don't recall seeing Dr. Paul endorse Mittens????
I don't recall Ron endorsing Romney. Rand did but so far as I know Ron didn't.

He didn't endorse willard and he's not speaking at willard's little party. There will be a lame video tribute to Ron at the party. I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them ~ Thomas Jefferson
That was my understanding too. If after all these years of Ron talking the talk that he has all of a sudden decided that he didn't really mean any of it and endorsed Romney, I doubt he would be able to raise enough money from what had been his best supporters to buy a cup of coffee.

The neocon scum on LP, FR, and LF are jerking off all over themselves over the Ryan nomination. A bigger group of lefty's can't be found except for on DU.
Calling Ron Paul an isolationist is like calling your neighbor a hermit because he doesn't come over and break your window - unknown I WITHDRAW MY CONSENT! True what you say. Ryan is a neocon dream pick. I read an article - here? - that compares Obama vs Ryan on various govt entitlement areas like Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, etc in graph charts. There's miniscule differences between the two men except for 1 area - maybe Medicaid? Everything else, both men are quite similar big gov't spenders.
Ryan and Romney both are fans of big, overbearing government and support things like NDAA. That is a deal breaker for me.

Why in the HELL does anybody in the GOP listen to that zio-turd?? Deal-breaker, as usual......

Any perceived compliance with unconstitutional “laws” or orders put forth by government employees is NOT recognition of their authority; it is simply the result of carefully calculated submission to an entity exhibiting superior firepower.

That's true but the TeleprompterInChief is all that on steroids. I'm not voting for Mittens/Ryan because I think they're super duper America saviors. I'm casting a vote against ObamaAlinsky/Senator Plaigarism. Romney/Ryan would drive the car in the same direction to same ultimate destination as Obama/Biden except that Obama is driving the car at breakneck speed to get us over the cliff very much quicker. I just want to delay the time when America is bankrupted 100% morally and financially. Ryan and Romney both are fans of big, overbearing government and support things like NDAA. That is a deal breaker for me.

Oh, just because I am against Romney and Ryan doesn't mean I am for Obama. I am against ALL of them because they are traitors and the America they believe in is not the one I believe in.

Because you keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Make no doubt about it, they are as much the enemy as the Democrats are. They ARE Democrats in everything but name. The only difference is where they want to spend our money and regulate our lives. I read them because they reinforce my opinion of the Republicrat party and remind me why I despise Republicrats as much as the Democans. how can you stand reading them?

Why? Why not get it over with, the faster the better? I just want to delay the time when America is bankrupted 100% morally and financially.

I don't see getting it over with faster as being better. Why not get it over with, the faster the better?

You wish to put it off so your children and grand children can deal with it after you're dead and gone? I don't see getting it over with faster as being better.

I'm in a very bad mood about CA political happenings. Am not interested in light back and forth banter.
