Paul Ryan’s Vice Presidential campaign off to a tough start - hecklers in Iowa and policy criticism

Uncommon common sense from Commonsence well said man

What I think about this is "so much drivel". Emotional, uninformed claptrap! One assumes that most of the comments come from people with some Irish association, the "Land of Saints and Poets". Unfortunately now the "land of fading enertia and lower expectations". Does anyone think anymore? Romney is a nice guy I'm Sure, Paul Ryan is also. They are both good family men, as far as we know. Do you really believe that either one is thinking about you or your family's welfare? Get a clue they're not. Ryan was born with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth, Romney had a golden baby rattle, neither one had to worry about a job. In fact neither one ever really held a job, Daddy Romney gave Mitt a little walking around money to tide him over until he could get his own gig, 25 million. Ryan got a job in DC, hustling for a member of Congress, he's been there ever since, just because his family is in the construction business doesn't make him a contractor. He has voted for every bad peice of legislation put forth for the last 14 years, and now he knows how to fix everything he helped break. Neither one of them had to worry about the next pay check. They haven't a clue about the plight of the average Sean or Molly, they just know that 1/2 of the voters vote party line without a glimmer of knowlege of issues or the impact the ROLLS-ROYCE (Romney-Ryan) Republican ticket will have on their future. A reading comprehension test should be required before a person should be allowed to vote!Bottle labels excluded.

Allen the stuff dreams are made of Romney as POTUS is so scary the American public will cast him back to the temple or Missouri.

If you have read my postings, you know I do not write a thesis to make my point. Disregard the Aug 16 posting with my name. Then we come to Seanomelb who will be unable to find a tree to hide behind after the Republican Convention, because they are all taken by Obama supporters.

check the polls(not Rasmussen)Allentown and weep

Romney and Ryan are surging. I predict immediately after the Republican Convention they will be up by 5-6 points.

This man is basing his economic policy on the writings of Ayn Rand. I'm very familiar with her work and have read some of it myself. It is interesting to note that Ayn Rand received Social Security and maybe even Medicare. Anyway there is a CRUCIAL flaw in Ms. Rand's writings. And it's a BIG one. She thinks good, moral and ethical people are what drive business and the market in America. That is not true. It is the corporation. A corporation contains people in it, but it itself is inhuman and its goal is simple, to always increase shareholder value. And as we have seen, it will do whatever it can like bribe politicians, poison consumers, abuse employees and so on (and good things too if consumers demand) to accomplish that. And corporations continue to grow not just because of stock holders and CEO's, they grow because you and I continue to buy from them. I am not suggesting we sack them, but the truth is we must always work to balance the power. And Paul Ryan's approach is naive. A mature adult realizes that a healthy economy is a never-ending process of balancing things like regulation and de-regulation, welfare and work, etc. EXTREME ACTION DOES NOT WORK IN THE LONG RUN. I mean really. I read ATLAS SHRUGGED when I was 17 and figured this out already.

HAA,HHaa Haaaa, Holaback you should go on the tour with Biden as a comedy team, you the proponent of wealth transfer accusing Romney Ryan of marxist theory, You are a classic.

Ryann provided no bump. Why not? Because it is impossible for anyone to explain how Ryan's (now Romney's) plan for slashing Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security in order to pay for tax cuts that favor the rich is not a planned transfer of wealth from the working class family to the wealthiest in the nation.

Sounds like the 'Rent a mob' and their supporters turned up at the fair - and some of them are rattling on now on IC with their usual whining. Good luck to Paul Ryan. He sounds a decent and straight thinking man. At least he would not be wanting to support programs endangering the life of future American babies and the elderly. The U.S. is missing millions of citizens under Obama. What a disaster he has been for America.

I am so tired of the paid hecklers that the left produce every election. I am also tired of the lies and distortions put out there by the left. So here we go again trying to scare the elderly by feeding us lies. I will listen to the candidates and make up my own mind on how I decide how to vote. I don't need some left wing media person giving me their revised version of what the candidates are saying. Not all elderly folk are a bunch of idiots. Paul Ryan does not scare me. I think he is very bright young man and some of you need to listen to what he is saying.

It beggars belief that middle class republicans will vote for a cut in their standard of living and give tax cuts to the wealthy. They (the republican middle class)are somehow in a state of denial or are just plain stupid.

Liberal Cathy --- You must be hard up to write a story. Try and get the real truth next time !!

Why is it that right wing apologists insist that detailed factual reporting on actual proposals or voting records of fellow right wingers is some how "mud slinging" or "hatchet jobs" when they have no problem with their candidates tossing out flat out lies (like Ryan's assertion in his very first speech as VP nominee designee that Obama's adoption of the Romney-Care plan which kept health care in the hands of PRIVATE insurance companies, merely making it easier for all to BUY coverage, was a "government take-over of health care"!?! We Republicans of the great CENTER (and all the Democrats I know as well) do NOT approve of heckling of speakers in public, but when the press tries so hard to be "fair" that they won't *call* campaigners when they tell out and out whoppers, it is hard not to sit back and smile a little at right wing radicals get a bit of what they usually dish out to their opponents.
