It's Paul Ryan for VP

The mild-mannered Mormon from Massachusetts goes straight for Barak Obama’s jugular.

That should be the headline all over America this weekend, as Mitt Romney picks House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan to be his Vice President running mate. The message is clear. “Mr. Obama you have given America its last free lunch. It is now time to pay the bill.”

There’s really not much more to add. Romney chose not to be safe - as in Portman or Pawlenty.

He chose not to insert show biz into the campaign - as in Chris Christie.

He chose not to pander to minorities but to make them Americans important enough to be treated like everyone else - in not choosing Marco Rubio.

And so, we have a stark, clear-cut, easy to understand battle shaping up after Labor Day.

It will be Romney and Ryan making their case that America needs one thing more than any other - fiscal order and responsibility.

There will be no slack cut for special interests calling for their pie not to be cut - special interest like doctors, drug companies, hospitals, senior citizens, welfare recipients, or anyone else.

And that will make the choice amazingly easy in November.

Either it will be Obama-Biden, and their something-for-everyone, blame-the-GOP-for-everything attitude that caters to special interests at the cost of jeopardizing the future of America.

Or it will be Romney-Ryan, and their put-the-house-in-order, take-care-of-everyone-equally, keep-the-military-strong, and don’t-ask-for-special-interest-favors-because-there-won’t-be-any, attitude that means business in straightening out what 25 years of shoddy federal government has produced.

It’s too late to play fast and loose with America’s future. It is now up to all Americans, whatever their voting record or preferences in presidential style, to stand up and be counted.

  1. Again, your hammer Casey Pops of common sense and sensibility has struck the nail it's head.

    This isn't going to be just another election of both parties saying the same thing, in different ways, but the same results. NO MORE deficit spending, no more special interests getting a key the the back door at the White House, no more midnight deals.

    I just listened to both Romney and Ryan's speech in VA. Not only is Paul Ryan charged up, there is a new found tone in Mitt Romney voice. He's speaking to the crowd not at them. He's alive and vibrant. He again knows he's where he is supposed to be.

    I've also watched some political panels today with a wide variety of Rep. & Dems,conservative & liberals, people in the know & people who know little that wasn't on the days talking points. The hard line, let wing liberal (&progressive) democratic talking heads have had a hard time explaining why Paul Ryan is a bad choice on Romney part. They have been stuttering and stammering, they have been getting run over all day long.

    Today readers is the first day of this very definitive election. And the Obama/Biden people were not ready at all for this selection of Paul Ryan. Not in the least.
