PAUL RYAN!

When you read those words, does it make you cringe, or celebrate? I guess it all depends on if you're a liberal or a conservative.

When Mitt Romney chose Paul Ryan, a TEA Party favorite, as his running mate for the November presidential election, I said "Thank God!"  We now have two people running in this campaign that can count (I'm talking better than basic math), and have an idea how to run a business, and a country (and not into the ground as the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. has done).

Now, the Democratic Machine has a new target to smear. Already, folks like Debbie Wasserman Schultz have been out there spouting really bad things about Paul Ryan. For example, he's an out of touch, right wing extremist, who will push little old ladies in wheelchairs over the edge of a cliff, and anything else their little minds can come up with. Really?

The left bemoans the Paul Ryan Budget. Now, the left says it would gut Medicare. In all actuality, it keeps Medicare alive longer than what's currently projected (since BHO gutted $716 BILLION dollars out of it to get Obamacare). What the left-leaning Mainstream media isn't saying is that if nothing is done to fix Medicare, it will go belly-up in 12 years! FLOP!

Here's some facts to ponder:

If you are 65-years-old, or older, and currently receiving Medicare benefits, Paul Ryan’s proposed budget would not affect you. So no pushing grandma over the cliff like the democrats want you to believe. All of you seniors out there can take a deep breath, knowing you're gonna be okay!

Ryan's  proposal will gradually increase Medicare’s eligibility age from 65 to 67 years of age. And that won’t start until 2023, 11 years from now. People like myself (I'm 52) would be a part of that crowd, and that's okay with me, considering I'd probably see nothing otherwise if Medicare isn't fixed.

For of us folks that will be turning 65 after 2023--- The low-income folks would receive higher payments from the federal government to help them purchase private insurance.  Those in the higher-income bracket would receive lower payments.

Also, people who are ill (or at least sicker than others) would receive higher payments while those healthier folks would receive lower payments.

So, that isn't Draconian by any means. The real problem is that if Medicare isn't fixed soon, it is projected to go bankrupt in 2024 (especially under Obama's plan... If he actually has a plan, other than spending us all into oblivion). SPLAT!

So why isn't the mainstream media going after Obama for his lack of a plan to save Medicare? Hmm? The mainstream media, and the Progressive Communist Caucus (a.k.a. the DNC) can't, or won't go after BHO because that just wouldn't be proper. I mean really... Going after a sitting president (Like they did with GWB... But that was different; he was a Republican!). It seems to me that the liberal/ progressives in the media, and in Washington, want to make Ryan a pariah; the head of an evil organization (the RNC) that's dead set in destroying America. Instead, I think the vast majority of intelligent, thinking Americans will see that Ryan is probably one of a handful of people who can make sense of the complex budgetary problems... And might be just the guy to fix it. BOFFO!

Unlike Harry Reid, the so-called leader of the senate, who has not passed a budget in over 1,200 days. Reid, like Obama, isn't someone that I would consider serious about the budget. If anyone is guilty of trying to destroy America, I'd say that those on the left are not only doing it, but succeeding thus far. So, we need a hero, or heroes, to step-in and stop those dastardly despots trying to destroy America from within! And the Dynamic Duo of Romney and Ryan are coming! KERPOW!

Okay, I watched too much Batman as a kid.

At least Paul Ryan is trying to bring some budgetary sanity back to Washington, and that is going to be one major job with all of the free-spenders there!

Back to Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan--- These two are powerful together, and this probably scares the H E double hockey sticks out of those whiny, spineless jellyfish in DC (on both sides of the aisle). Together, the Dynamic Duo of Romney and Ryan are probably more adept to repair the mess that BHO and company have gotten us into for the past 3 and a half years. We already know BHO, and the liberal plan is to spend, spend, spend, tax, tax, and tax some more!

Those folks cheering on BHO will use lies and fuzzy math to promote their guy. They honestly think we'll be skeered of Romney and Ryan. What scares me is four more years of Obama, and his attempt to turn America into Europe Jr.

They will lie to us (both the DNC crowd and the mainstream media) to keep their guy in office to finish the job of transforming America into something the Founding Fathers tried to keep us from becoming... Just another tyrannical country, run by elitists dictators in fancy suits and no love for freedom.
As for the debates, the lies and half-truths that BHO and Biden will tell--- twisted up and made to sound reasonable--- will come back to haunt them in November. And we all know that only the most liberal moderators will be chosen to head the debates, because that's just what the mainstream media does. And they don't seem ashamed for their lack of being fair and balanced. 

Personally, I can't wait until the vice-presidential debate, because I want to see Paul Ryan school Joe "the gaffer" Biden on all things budgetary, and socially. Biden will look as inept as he always looks, and Ryan will look... Well, Vice Presidential! And Romney will show Obama what being presidential is all about. As for Obama, well I don't think his teleprompter can save him in the three debates set to happen between now and the election.

In closing, at least Romney and Ryan have a plan to save America! All the left can do is wish for its downfall. We've seen what Hope and Change has done to America. 8.3% unemployment for 42 months; with nearly half of all Americans now drawing a check from the government, and the promise of increased taxes on small businesses and those making over $250,000. Let's just Hope that the ticket of Romney and Ryan can win... And Change what had been done to cripple America! BAM!

Will the Dynamic Duo save the day? Or will the evil-doers already in office finish America off. Stay tuned... Same bat-time, same bat-channel!

But that's just my opinion, I could be right!
