Republican convention

[Tool-Slinger]

I have never been an enthusiastic supporter of Romney, But, his VP pick nailed it as the man I really wish could be president. Great pick. So I fully support Romney now.

Great speakers at the convention. I especially liked Condi Rice. She spoke about international policy mostly, expected from a former Secretary of State. I also noticed she wore a little number that was 'above the knees', a tad risque. Now she has knees like anyone, but they are not knotty or bumpy from her upper thighs to her calves so it is a smooth to smooth transition, rather sexy. She was not overly wearing make-up in a tasteful fashion, and her hair was nice.

Agreed, good observation there Tool. I too would have loved for a real conservative to get the nomination but his pick for the VP certainly is. Sure better than commie loving anti American President and his Red agenda for America. Thank you, thank you very much

Paul Ryan pretty much turned my apathy into enthusiasm. Mitt can be a centrist if he needs to be or wants to be, but if Ryan is an example of the type of man he can pick to delegate things to,.. good judgement. I now fully support Romney. After listening to Ryan speak, I am beginning to have some HOPE for CHANGE. We do need that commie out of the White-house, but I do not care to replace him with a socialist-lite guy. Ryan gives me real hope, and some confidence in Romney.

I should probably add that Condi has nice legs. I had commented on them earlier and did not intend to suggest that she should not be displaying them. I am perfectly OKAY with that.

Us Dems are also enthusiastic over Ryans nomination for the VP spot.

We absolutely love the fact that Mitty has brought a women alienating, rape is no excuse, lets give tax cuts to the rich and cut medicare to seniors, tea party A$$ kisser to his team.

I'm sure it will make Mitty the sure winner for all you conservlicans in November.

Sorry Tool, tried to bite my tongue again but just couldn't do it.

But how much influence would the V.P, have?

The first vice-president under George Washington was John Adams, who described his position as "the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived.

Or put a bit less subtly by John Nance Garner, who served for two terms as vice-president with Franklin Roosevelt: The vice-presidency "isn't worth a pitcher of warm piss."

In a 1948 interview, Garner described the office as "almost wholly unimportant," and some years after that declared being vice president "was the worst thing that ever happened to me."



...Ryan is saleable and credible as a potential future president, the main function of a vice-president. He has enlivened the conservative base of the Republican Party, brought in even more money for Romney and created a more definite right-left division with the Democrats. An articulate speaker, he will easily handle himself in his debate with Vice-President Joe Biden.

Yet the most telling remark was Romney's correction of who was calling the shots. Ryan suggested if he and Romney are elected his Tea Party-endorsed budget will be implemented. Romney quickly countered that idea. "I have my budget plan," he said. "And that's the budget plan we're going to run on."


For the most part, there is a truism about an American election campaign articulated by an aide to Hubert Humphrey, who was vice-president under Johnson. "Once the election is over," he said, "the vice-president's usefulness is over. He's like the second stage of a rocket. He's damn important going into orbit, but he's always thrown off to burn up in the atmosphere."

Some political observers believe in the event of a Romney victory, Ryan will be a vice-president more like Cheney than LBJ -- that despite Romney's claim to the contrary, Ryan will indeed influence policy in a Romney administration.

From Romney's point of view, the media attention on Ryan for the next few months is bound to boost support from American conservatives who wondered about Romney's commitment to their cause.

"Let's win the election first," you can almost hear Romney telling Ryan, "and then we'll see about your role."

I understand what you and printer are saying and do not doubt it, but the repubs need Ryan to enthuse voters that are rather cold to Romney. I don't think whether the dems loath him or not will matter at the polls. Plus, I cannot wait to see the VP debate, I consider that a 'must see' event.

I agree with printer, beyond the election results, the VP is usually in the same function as a spare tire.

I can't wait for the VP debate also, it will be fun to see Ryan squirm when he is confronted about coupon-care.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Dems refuse to let Biden participate. Everytime he opens his mouth he inserts his foot. Ryan should eat him for lunch in a debate. Of course that's assuming that it won't be the typical media bias that has taken place in the past. You know, nice marshmellow questions for Biden and actual relevant questions for the Reps.

Actually, I approached her once, but she did not take to my 'come on line'. After she body-slammed me and put the restraining order on, I am basically content to admire her from a safe distance.

She is a very talented lady, that is for sure. And, obviously with great wisdom and taste to boot.
