A choice between national stagnation and renewal

The old British  S.A.S. motto of  “Fortes fortuna adiuvat” which translates as  “fortune favors the bold”  is never more appropriate then the choice of Paul Ryan as his Vice presidential running mate.  Now only are the candidates separated by different polices but by ideology as well.  The intellectual poverty of the Obama campaign is an excellent description.

by Kimberly A. Strassel

Mitt Romney did much more this weekend than announce a running mate. He unveiled a significant change in strategy. The 2012 election is now a choice, not just a referendum.

Conservatives have spent much of this summer reassuring themselves. They’ve pointed out the extraordinary sums President Obama has thrown at crippling Mr. Romney. They’ve noted how ugly and brutal those attacks have been. They’ve comforted themselves that, for all the smears, Mr. Romney is within a few points of the incumbent in national tracking polls.

Yet the same can be said on the other side. The economy is teetering, the deficit exploding, the nation unhappy with his signature legislation. Daily, Mr. Romney beats the White House with these failures. But he has barely moved the polling dial.

[.........]

In fairness, the Romney campaign had the elements in place. It’s taken some time, but Mr. Romney today is sporting a fairly bold reform agenda, from his tax cuts to his Medicare reforms, to his vow to end ObamaCare.  And the candidate has been dutifully repeating that this election is a choice between two very different futures for the country. Yet his policy and his words were largely lost amid his campaign’s intense focus on the president.

Mr. Ryan provides the crucial shift in emphasis, the opportunity to go on offense. We will now have a focus on, and explanation of, the choice between stagnation and renewal. This is what Mr. Ryan excels at—not just crafting ideas, but explaining them in a positive and serious way. This ability is why the congressman—despite his supposedly extremist reform blueprint and budget (says the left)—has continued to win a district that in 2010 went for Mr. Obama.

[.........]

Indeed, while the congressman will publicly aid the campaign by barnstorming in Ohio or Florida, he’ll be privately aiding it as a voice in the inner circle—relating his own long experience with how to tackle and win the toughest issues. The Ryan pick will reassure the GOP base, but the goal here is to use the reboot to win the crucial argument with independents and Reagan Democrats—as Mr. Ryan has done so well back in his home state of Wisconsin.

The first pitch to those voters came with Mr. Romney’s introduction of Mr. Ryan on Saturday, in which the campaign made clear it intends to use this pick as a way of underlining the intellectual poverty of the Obama campaign. Mr. Romney spoke of Mr. Ryan’s “integrity,” his “seriousness,” his “intellectual leadership,” and his refusal to “demonize his opponents”—traits for which Mr. Ryan is well-known.

[.......]

Democrats will attack anyway. To their disappointment, Mr. Ryan is a well-vetted, 14-year congressman, and a bit of a Boy Scout. There will be no fruitful dumpster-diving, a la Sarah Palin. Instead they are bragging about a 290-page Ryan opposition research paper from the left-wing super PAC American Bridge that focuses on the congressman’s plan to reform Medicare to offer a “premium support” option—a proposal he crafted with Oregon’s Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden. That plan would for the first time give seniors who want it the choice of government-funded private insurance options. The attacks will include the usual hysteria that Messrs. Romney and Ryan want to euthanize senior citizens.

Mr. Obama has taken to claiming that Mr. Romney wants to raise taxes on the middle-class so that he can give that money to the 1%. Expect the president and his party to now claim that the Romney-Ryan ticket doesn’t just want to throw granny off the cliff; they want to dispense her Medicare dollars to their fat-cat friends.

Mr. Romney’s only possible response is to go nuclear. His campaign has been timid in its response to the Obama attacks on Bain and Mr. Romney’s wealth. But if the Romney campaign leaves hanging the Obama argument that it is ending Medicare or redistributing tax dollars to the wealthy or denying Americans health care, it will lose.

If Mr. Romney wants to know the perils of adopting Mr. Ryan in name but not in spirit, he need only look at a handful of special House elections over the past years. Those contests featured GOP candidates happy to burnish their conservative credentials by initially supporting Mr. Ryan’s budget reforms. Yet when the Democratic attacks rolled in, they ducked the debate. Voters were left with little choice but to believe the left-wing spin, and the Republicans lost.

[.........]

The Ryan pick is the boldest move Mr. Romney has made as a presidential candidate—in this campaign, or his last. If he wants to win the White House, it needs to be just the beginning.

    Did anyone watch the Romney/Ryan (which will from now on be referred to as R/R be me) from Paul Ryan’s Wisconsin hometown of Janesville yesterday?

    It was brilliant! Over 10,000 proud Americans united to defeat this Marxist regime and restore America to our greatness and not embarrassed about it.

    Even the couple of Obama-tron drone losers who tried to interrupt it were shouted down by the crowd with shouts of USA, USA, and Gov. Romney reminding them that it was, and always has been, American soldiers that gave their lives for the morons’ right to free speech, but that free speech is not just for them, so kindly STFU, you ignorant assholes.

    Okay, Romney didn’t say that. I kinda “embellished” what he said.

    And…has ANYONE ever heard shouts of USA,USA, USA at any Obama event?

    Actually, Gov. Romney is still ahead, and has been for about two weeks now-

    The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows Mitt Romney attracting support from 47% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns the vote from 44%.

    I was speaking to LibFriend yesterday, and LibFriend expressed concern that Ryan “had said that our laws come from God.”

    I explained that he did not say that at all; that he had said our rights come from God. “What’s the difference?” asked LibFriend dismissively.

    “Plenty,” I replied. “The notion that our rights—that is, the source of our liberty—come from God and not the government is contained in the Declaration of Independence. The Constitution exists to protect those rights—but the Constitution does not mention God. The only rights we have codified in the Constitution are rights against the government; these rights exist so that our innate freedom can be protected from the government. People use “rights” very freely and inaccurately—”I have a right to free healthcare; I have a right to a college education; I have a right to own a home.” No, you don’t; you have a right to try and get what you can—to “pursue happiness”—and you have a right to tell the government to get off your back. But you do not have a “right” to any of the goodies that people want.

    “Ryan’s reference to our rights coming from God is drawing a clear line between the civil rights model of government that the Constitution creates, and the “human rights” model that Obama advocates, wherein the government is the source of all rights and benefits.”

    Well, said. This is why most of us, and most Americans, worship God, while liberals worship government, and are afraid of God.

    What’s the first thing all communist regimes do when they get power? Close the churches and ban religion. They do this for a reason.

    All of the savings from the Ryan reform of
    Medicare go back into Medicare.
    On the other hand Obama loots Medicare & diverts
    the funds to ObamaCare.
    How many people are aware of that?

    @ Bob in Breckenridge:

    The debates should be a roundtable format with a timekeeper and four segments each described by a single term: “the economy”; “foreign policy”; “energy”; “the role of government.” The timekeeper says, “Start” and “Stop”—that’s it.

    For each segment, the two candidates discuss—no scripts, no Teleprompters.

    It would be a real debate, and it would be a massacre.

    Had Romney adopted Gingrich’s plan to follow Obama around, and debate a cardboard cutout of him—had he declared that or a similar plan, and put it out early and loudly—he could have dictated the terms of the debates.

    He still could, perhaps—but he won’t. Big mistake, in my view.

    OK folks, I am waiting on permission from Macker, but I have to tell you. At my request he made a Paul Ryan vs Joe Biden video…. It is a full on nuclear explosion against Biden… As soon as I get his permission (providing I do get his permission) I will be doing blog post at my blog based on his video. You guys are going to absolutely love this video… Kudos to Macker…

    Thanks Dorian! I’m sure the Admins will get a kick out of it too! At least I’m making myself somewhat useful given my year-and-a-half state of unemployment, thanks to those Filthy Communist Bastards who Occupy the White House and Blair House, respectively!

    You mean The Vice President’s Residence & Office on the grounds of the United States Naval Observatory? The Blair House is a guest residence. :)

    Thank you for the clarification. What I would like to see, should Romney & Biden win, is for The People to go to these residences and shout “GET OUT OF THE PEOPLE’S HOUSE!” again and again and again until January 20, 2013.

    Obama’s daddy, so it seems
    Left to his son nothing but dreams
    While Daddy drank and whored around
    Until he was put underground

    Paul Ryan’s case was not so sad,
    Nor was this true of Romney’s dad;
    Whatever be their other joys,
    They had fathers who loved their boys

    Perhaps that’s the reason—who knows?
    As they plumb ever lower lows,
    Obama, and Joe Biden, too
    Sneer “your dads would not be proud of you.”

    Hey Macker’s Ryan v Biden video is finish, and it’s great, however because it has the Blogmocracy title in it he is waiting your permission before giving me the green light to upload it to my youtube account to use in my next blog posting. He probably has sent you a email to that affect… Nudge nudge…

    Not to mention I was too young to be able to vote. I remember him being a complete disaster and the long lines to get gas and his sweater wearing speech. That is about it.
