1. Ryan is a force with baggage.

He is what the other so-called contenders are not - consistent, knowledgeable, and not error-prone. But he has a lot of explaining to do in regards to his budget plan, a plan that guts many of the middle class entitlements.

Consistent in a bobble headed "tax cuts this, tax cuts that" kind of way.

But, this clown voted for EVERYTHING that Bush did to create the bulk of the current deficit, and "his" budget won't balance until 2028.

A "force?"

No.

He LOOKS good.

Beyond that he simply is the empty headed vessel for the republicans to once again repackage their disaster of an economic/budgetary plan.

He is NOT "knowledgeable."

He is an intellectual lightweight.

I saw an interview a month or so ago where the interviewer said, "We know you want tax cuts, tell us what you would do economically or with the budget beyond tax cuts." Ryan babbled incoherently for 15 seconds before spending a minute and a half talking about tax cuts.

He won't be Palin or Romney bad, but put him in the big fish bowl, have him do something other than look good with the flip haircut and spend 30 seconds talking about tax cuts and cutting spending with no specifics, and he will be exposed.

He is Palin light. Not THAT big of a twit, but a twit nontheless, that after the republicans and "liberal" media spend the next month patting themselves on the back over, will be exposed.

He is not a "clown", he is not a "twit", he is not an "intelectual lightweight". He is smart, knowledgeable and dangerous. BIG mistake to underestimate him, a mistake I am sure the Obama campaign is not making.

Smart - no.

Knowledgeable - no.

Dangerous, yes, because he actually believes this crape, and because he looks the part, like Reagen, the right and the "liberal" media make him into something he isn't.

He is a creation.

I suppose there is always a slim chance. There's nothing I like more than the media to go after Romney.

And then just keep reminding them that Romney was screwing with them.
