Romney Taps Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan As Running Mate
Shortly after 9 a.m. Eastern time Saturday, Republican candidate Mitt Romney officially announced (via phone app) his selection of 42-year-old Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan as running mate for the 2012 U.S. presidential race. Ryan's selection was announced by the Romney campaign to various media outlets earlier this morning. Ryan is considered popular among a wide range of Republican voters, being a budget hawk who favors less liberal laws concerning abortion. Ryan's lauded popularity among Tea Party voters is mixed; some reports describe him as a Tea Party favorite, others as a far-right imposter.
Because the founders totally envisioned people on food stamps who have better cars and bigger TVs than most working class people do.....
> You would be better off to be apathetic than to support politics by engagement.
Yes, please light up, drop out and stay away from the ballot box. Leave that to people who care enough to actually get involved and change the system.
The Tea Party is already making a difference in the political arena. Meanwhile the Occupoopers only accomplished being an embaressment to their arguments. The apathetic types wont even be a bad example though. So they are a self correcting problem.

This does not belong on slashdot. Stop using this as your personal blog, timothy.
Now I expect this to turn into a left-wing bashfest. Commence.
The potential next President and VP certainly IS news for Nerds, since it will affect all of us one way or another, even if one isn't American. Unless you live under a rock, or your Mom's basement. Now shut the fuck up please :)
