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.
Wrong dill hole we can discuss evolution or creation or Muons and Hadrons but politics is sleezy humanism. The only importance it maintains in our society is what credit peole like YOU give it. There is nothing 'technical' about this story. timothy shouldn't be banned he's offered lots of good stories for us but someone should smack him thats for sure.
When I think of dirty old men, I think of Mitt Thomas and when I think about Mitt I get a hard on that won’t quit.
Sixty years ago,I worked in what was once my Grandfather’s Greenhouses. Gramps had died a year earlier and Grandma, now in her seventies had been forced to sell to the competition. I got a job with the new owners and mostly worked the range by myself. That summer, they hired a man to help me get the benches ready for the fall planting.
Mitt always looked like he was three days from a shave and his whiskers were dirty white under the brim of his battered felt fedora.
He did nott chew tobacco but the corners of his mouth turned down in a way that, at any moment, I expected a trickle of thin, brown juice to creep down his chin. His bushy, brown eyebrows shaded pale, gray eyes.
Old Mitt, he extended his hand, lifted his leg like a dog about to mark a bush and let go the loudest fart I ever heard. The old man winked at me. “Mitt Romney is the name and playing pecker’s my game.
I thought he said, “Checkers.” I was nineteen, green as grass. I said, “I was never much good at that game.”
“Now me,” said Mitt, “I just love jumping men. . .”
“I’ll bet you do.”
“. . . and grabbing on to their peckers,” said Mitt.
“I though we were talking about. . .”
“You like jumping old men’s peckers?”
I shook my head.
“I reckon we’ll have to remedy that.” Mitt lifted his right leg and let go another tremendous fart. “He said, “We best be getting to work.”
That summer of1941 was a more innocent time. I learned most of the sex I knew from those little eight pager cartoon booklets of comic-page characters going at it. Young men read them in the privacy of an outside john, played with themselves, by themselves and didn’t brag about it. Sometimes, we got off with a trusted friend and helped each other out.
Under the greenhouse glass, the temperature some times climbed over the hundred degree mark. I had worked stripped to the waist since April and was as browwn as a berry. On only his second day on the job and in the middle of August, Mitt wore old fashioned overalls. Those and socks in his hightop work shoes was every stitch he wore. When he bent forward, the bib front billowed out and I could see the white curly hairs on his chest and belly.
“Me? I just love to eat pussy!”I ke licked his lips from corner to corner then stuck it out far enough that the tip could touch the tip of his nose. He said, A man’s not a man till he knows first hand, the flavor of a lady’s pussy.”
“People do that?”
He winked. “Of course the taste of a hard cock ain’t to be sneezed at neither. Now you answer me, yes or no. Does a man’s cock taste salty or not?”
“I never. . .”
“Well, old Mitt’s willing to let you find out.”
“No way.”
“Just teasing,” said Mitt. “But don’t give me no sass or I’ll show you my ass.” He winked. Might show it to you anyway, if you was to ask.”
“Why would I do that?”
“Curiousity, maybe. I’m guessing you never had a good piece of man ass.”
“I’m no queer.”
“Now don’t be getting judgemental. Enjoying what’s at hand ain’t beiing queer. It’s taking pleasure where you find it with anybody willing.” Mitt slipped a handside the side slit of his overalls and I could tell he was fondling and straightening out his cock. Now I admit I got me a hole that satisfied a few guys.”
I swallowed, hard.
Mitt winked. “Care to be asshole buddies?”

We worked steadily until noon. Mitt drew a worn pocket watch from th
four years of Obama would do less damage than eight years of Romney.
four years of Obama would do the same damage as four years of Romney
four years of either will cause economic CARNAGE in the US.
A tsunami of economic woes is about to land on America's shores from Europe's mountainous debts.
The US is in a VERY precarious position with it's MOUNTAINOUS debts.
In a lot of ways it is in a worse position than Europe, the markets just haven't woken up to that fact.
$16tn of National Debt + $84tn of unfunded liabilities.
The US has just reached a MAJOR milestone.
It is 100 TRILLION DOLLARS in the hole.
Romey has said NO CUTS.
His budget is INSANE.
The 2012 military budget is $1,219bn
Romney and the Ryan budget want to INCREASE it.
I have seen conflicting reports.
One said an extra $2.1 tn over a 4 year term.
One said more than $200bn each and every year ad infinitum (I think it was $238bn).
Ryan's budget is totally absolutely INSANE
> That removes five of the best possible options of highly qualified, popular Republican women: Susan Collins or
> Olympia Snow (Maine Senators), Linda Lingle (former Hawaii Governor), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska Senator), or
> Jodi Rell (former Connecticut governor).
Dude. If you think it is their abortion stance that disqualifies those losers you really don't pay attention. One of the Maine Sisters is quitting because she has become too left for Maine, the other will also probably quit when she is up for reelect. Murky could't win her primary and is HATED by her party. Lingle and Rell are ok for their deep blue states but would add nothing to a ticket already populated by a White Rino at the top.
Ryan on the other hand has been leading. Picking him sends a message that Romney really intends to make the economy issue #1 and do something other than blather platitudes about it. The problem is that now the economy will not be allowed to be THE issue because it one Obama is certain to lose with. So we will get a pivot to a foreign crisis right after the conventions. So obvious.
And this ticket does have diversity, just not one the left recognizes often. A Mormon and a Jew are prettty non-mainstream in a country that is majority Protestant with non-religious probably closing in on #2. But religion is too close to thought and diversity of thought is the forbidden diversity for the left. To them the word means people of all color, sex, gender identity and sexual perversion (but a perversion of some sort seems to be preferred) coming together to think exactly the same.

> Most of them are still trying to justify that odd feeling they have Obama is not an American.
Depends how you define the word. Is Obama an American citizen? About as certain that he is as possible with the lack of available records, call it 99%. Does Mr. Obama meet the requirements for the office he holds? Unless his history is a lie, he self evidently does not. But again, I wouldn't put the odds at 0% because there is a non-zero chance that he is actually the child of Frank Marshal Davis and Stanley Ann Dunham and would thus qualify. Is Mr. Obama an "American" in the sense of sharing the generally accepted belief system of the country? Probably not, he is a progressive/socialist and if he ever came out he couldn't carry California.

Your country doesn't have a left wing
Sure it does. That's the wing that thinks that one group of people should permanently, structurally, be taxed in order to provide social spending for the 50% of the country that pay no income taxes at all. The group that is focused on the government as the source of personal comfort, sustenance, housing, medical services, etc., using funds removed from a small group of people who will be the beasts of burden providing all of those things. That group is the left wing. The Nanny Staters, the collectivists, the people who think the government doesn't yet have enough involvement in day to day personal activities and decision making. That's a left wing no matter what country it's in. Our president just reflected on the move he made to take General Motors away from the people who owned it, and while keeping a large share of the company for the government, gave the rest to labor union supporters on the left. And he just said yesterday that he'd like to repeat that process across all industries in the US. You know - classic left-wing claptrap.
Don't disappoint your bird dog. Go to the range.
And Biden followed it up (when he came on stage) by referring to Obama as "Barack America". I'm sure that SNL and The Daily Show will pay no more attention to Romney's gaffe than they did when Obama did the same thing.
I have actually come to appreciate Palin's antics since the last election. She horribly scared me back then - now she seems harmless and amusing.
Yeah, well I wonder if Gabrielle Giffords feels that way about Ms. Palin. If memory serves me correctly (and it does), Sarah Palin's website featured a gun's scope superimposed on a photo of Ms. Giffords, which inspired a mentally defective individual to shoot, injure and kill innocent people. I don't forget that, though lots of people seem to. Hell, they even gave her idiotic white-trash daughter a TV show! I've never heard Sarah Palin take responsibility for what her website's inciting the deaths of innocent people. Never heard an apology from her. She jusr takes the money. Nope, nothing amusing about Sarah Palin. Not in my opinion. Thanks for reading.
And if YOU could get away from the Soros/Think Progress/CAP/Kos talking points you might realize we aren't for 'tax cuts for the wealthy' we are for either keeping rates WHERE THEY ARE AND HAVE BEEN FOR A DECADE or for a major overhaul of the tax code to reduce rates across the board in exchange for eliminating deductions, carveouts and loopholes such that it is revenue neutral on the static CBO scoring but will actually produce MORE revenue to the treasury, almost all from the 'wealkthy', from a growing economy.
Wow! The liberal mods are out today. You know, the ones that are out to mod down any comment they are unable to counter so they do whatever they can to silence it. In this case, it was labeled "Troll", even though there is absolutely nothing "trollish" about it. It's the same way that liberals will call conservatives "racist" or "only looking out for the rich".
There is no "I disagree" mod for a reason. Flamebait, Troll, and Overrated are not substitutes.
Marxism and Fascism are both on the left as far as economics go (state control). Free market capitalism is on the right.
Negative moral value of force outweighs the positive value of good intentions.
> Apparently you feel that making the very poor pay more in taxes is a good thing.
Yes, everyone should pay something. I didn't have much use for Bachman but she was dead right to push that line of argument. As thiungs stand now half teh country pays nothing and the top ten percent pay the lion's share of taxes. That isn't sustainable. Lets vote to raise taxes on other people! hasn't worked long anywhere else in history.
Oh, and on a related subject; will somebody define the phrase "pay their fair share" I hear it all the time but nobody who uses it will ever define it.

Something being popular now (while it was unpopular in the past) does not mean it is good. Intellectual debate should actually discuss ideas, instead of just cheerleading what is popular and seems to be becoming more popular.
Which means that on social issues, Europe is dominated by leftism.
That would making the debate even more debased and ad hominem and fallacious (guilt by association, straw man) than it already is.
I don't know why I am even responding to this. You are posting AC for a reason.
