Paul Ryan: Mitt Romney Is Not Bob Dole Or John McCain
Have no fear, conservatives, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) told Wisconsin radio Friday: Mitt Romney is the real deal. In his second appearance since publicly endorsing Romney Friday morning on Fox News, Ryan told the hometown crowd back in Wisconsin not to worry about Romney's conservative credentials.
"Look, I was not a fan of Bob Dole being our nominee in 1996. I didn't support John McCain throughout the primary, I supported other people last time," he said. "This is not the same kind of candidate. I believe Mitt Romney, from just talking to him, understands the enormous, precarious moment America is facing now and exactly what it's going to take to get this country back on track and I don't think he's going to cut and run. I think he's going to get the principals right."
Both Dole and McCain are prominent supporters of Romney, and have acted as his surrogate on the campaign trail.

Or will he jump right to the vice principals.

(33,497 posts)2. Ryan is such a transparent publicity hog hoping to get on the ticket
He believes what the conservative press writes about him.

(35,392 posts)3. So, what P Ryan is saying is that his endorsement is the kiss of death ...
he supported two other losers, neither which even made it past the nominating processes ...

(24,461 posts)6. You're right, Pauly Hall and Oates. He's not them.
Mitt's going to lose by a greater margin than both of them combined. Yes, Paul, he sucks even worse than you do.
Here's a clue, Paul; first one's free: Nobody digs Reaganomics anymore. No one. You and your party are peddling a FAILURE, a catastrophic failure that pretty much anyone but the most Faux-addled jackoffs on the planet can recognize as such. Coddling the rich and stabbing the poor isn't fashionable to anyone except your hateful and deluded fringe slobberers. Normal people aren't into you or your smirking, smarmy meanness.
