It helps when the guy at the top of the ticket does not tolerate his staff sabotaging his running mate. Romney and Ryan are serious men – Obama and Biden are buffoons. I like the fact that Paul Ryan will go into enemy territory and not only parry the attacks but will counter attack as well.
by Jonathan Tobin
The liberal assault on Paul Ryan has commenced. But the first round of attacks can’t provide much solace to Democrats, who assume they will be able to demonize the Republican vice presidential candidate with ease. The first 48 hours of Ryan’s candidacy has already seen a deluge of abuse from the mainstream media editorial pages and columnists. If all you read is the opinion pages of the New York Times, which trotted out its second editorial rant against Ryan in two days, then you probably think that political strategist turned pundit Robert Shrum’s boast in the Daily Beast that by the time the Obama campaign is through with him, Ryan will be as toxic as Sarah Palin. Liberals like Robert Reich, who took to the Huffington Post to howl that Ryan’s ideas are “social Darwinism” or former Times editor Bill Keller who damned the prospective next GOP administration as a compendium of every wicked conservative idea ever conceived, clearly believe all they need to do is to just call Ryan and to a lesser extent Romney, every name they can think of.
But the problem with this effort to Palin-ize Ryan is that the first returns show it probably won’t work.
One piece of evidence is the full length front-page profile of Ryan published in today’s Times. The story it tells of a small town boy whose intellectual prowess is matched only by his work ethic is not one that easily lends itself to the “extremist” narrative that the paper’s editorial page has been screaming about since Saturday. But the authors do their best to skew the portrait with language that doesn’t belong on the news pages of a reputable newspaper.
Part of the problem is that the Times can’t seem to find anyone who knows the likable congressman to dish any non-existent dirt on him. For example, in describing Ryan as an ambitious and accomplished teenager with numerous activities to his credit, the Times stoops to describe him as a “politically astute suck up.” No, that’s not a quote from some teenage rival but an editorial comment inserted into the article by the authors without quotes or even an attempt to attribute this opinion to anyone who knew him.
[.........]
Reality again collided with ideology last night on “60 Minutes.” The CBS program got the first post-announcement interview with Romney and Ryan last night, and there’s little doubt that liberals tuning into the program were hoping the Ryan roll-out would conjure up memories of how Sarah Palin was felled in her first network interviews after John McCain tapped her to be his vice presidential nominee. But Bob Schieffer never laid a glove on either Romney or Ryan. Much of the interview was softball material, but even when Schieffer attempted to attack the duo on the Ryan budget plan or entitlement reform, they easily turned away the assault and honed in on the president’s failings and the need to have the country face up to the tough issue of entitlement reform. Just as important, unlike Katie Couric’s confidence that she could embarrass Palin in 2008, Schieffer knew better than to try to tangle with the formidable Ryan.
[........]
Moreover, unlike Palin, Ryan is clearly ready to not merely hold his own on the enemy turf of the mainstream media but, as President Obama learned to his sorrow, is able to go on the offensive and challenge liberal orthodoxies without appearing like the snarling cartoon character that Democrats hope to paint to the public.
As I wrote earlier, it is an open question as to whether the American public will be willing to choose Ryan’s ideas about reforming our out-of-control tax and spend cycle over Democrat demagoguery intended to defend the status quo. But whatever the outcome of the election, the liberal boasts about turning Ryan into another Palin will fail miserably.
Read the rest – Liberal surprise: Ryan can’t be Palinized

Bunch of gays went down to Georgia, they were lookin’ for a Chick-Fil-A
They’d got all bent ’cause its President liked marriage the old-fashioned way.
They drove right up to the window, under their collars they were hot
And they said to the girl takin’ orders there, “We don’t like the chicken in your pot.
“Now girlie, you may not know it but we’re a bunch of militants,
“And while we insist on our own liberty, we don’t like Dan Cathy’s stance.
“So we’re gonna have a kiss-in here just to show our contempt for you
“‘Cause nobody nowhere nohow can criticize what gay folks do.”
The girl spoke back right smart at them, and didn’t damn their eyes,
But said, “I think you’ll change your mind when you try our waffle fries.”
Chick-Fil-A, fire up the grill and spread that chicken spice
See if you can make militant gays learn how to act real nice;
Everybody has free speech, that’s how this country’s made
Maybe you’ll sweeten their dispositions with a glass of lemonade.
The gays all piled out of their car and locked in an embrace
A couple guys with tattoos started in to gnaw each other’s face
But no-one paid them any mind, although they acted rude
They practically were trampled by folks looking to buy food.
They writhed and gripped hard as they could, but it was no big deal
‘Cause Chick-Fil-A was swamped with people clamoring for a meal
They yelled, “Gimme a spicy sandwich, do
“Gimme a drink, waffle fries too
“Whether you’re for gay marriage or not
“We don’t care for kiss-ins or boycotts.”
The militants were angry ’cause they knew that they’d been beat
They were about to get into their car and drive off in defeat
They knew they’d really lost when one of them came back outside,
Saying, “Hey, guys, you know this sandwich? It’s the best I’ve ever tried.”
They yelled, “Gimme a spicy sandwich, do
“Gimme a drink, waffle fries too

Increasing the price and scarcity of meat is a direct blow to the sense of American well-being and prosperity. Right or wrong, we love our meat and we eat lots of it. It’s a blow for the global-warming agenda, which has been on and on about cow farts/methane for some time; for the anti-pollution and PETA-type outfits, who’ve been opposed to feedlots and factory chicken farming; it will increase joblessness, as higher meat prices cause layoffs at restaurants and food stores; it will drive more people to more government handouts, both seeking foodstamps to supplement their diets and to get actual government meat along with their government cheese.
It looks like stealth Sovietization to me. There is too much consistently destructive policy to believe that all Obama’s decisions are the result of stupidity. He’d have come up with something constructive by now, if he were merely an idiot. It has to be willful.

The gov’t has a long history of buying excess commodity from producers. In the case of beef and the drought, the animals will starve and they’ll get sick before they die and will not be edible.

@ eaglesoars:
Not talking nuke plants but drilling for oil and other resources.
Right now we got only one permit to drill in the Gulf per the Federal government…sickening.

@ eaglesoars:
Look at what they did to derail Yucca Mountain: A requirement to certify that it would remain intact for 50,000 years, knowing that no engineer on the planet would sign off on that.
Hell, they should have gotten someone to do it anyway. Not like they’ll be around to be proven wrong…

Indeed. Money for nothing. In the scheme of things life is fleeting and you can’t take all that money with you.

Paul Ryan lit ‘em up. He’s gonna close the deal.
@ Lily:
Exactly. Not that a smart overall energy policy would, of necessity, see a lot more nuke plants built. And most of the hysteria against nuke plants, is just that: hysteria. Looked at rationally, nuke plants are the cleanest and safest source of bulk electric power going. Nearly all the objections to them, save cost, are based on fiction, not fact. And the high construction cost is largely an artifact of all the damn-fool regulatory hoops the builder have to jump through in order to appear to have met the other objections.

A bold move on Romney and an excellent choice with Ryan.

Yep…according to my husband we have plenty of resources to last us years upon years yet we don’t use them.

And it’s only getting worse, post-Fukushima.
As if there’s a snowball’s chance in hell of a plant in the US being hit by an earthquake and a tsunami.
Some things give me the warm and fuzzies.

@ lobo91:
And, as of the moment, more people have died in Ted Kennedy’s car than have been killed by radiation off the site of the Fukushima nuke plant.
Why is this thread up for 8 hours?
Building a new nuke plant in Japan now would probably require them to certify that it’s Godzilla-proof…
