Romney-Ryan 2012
It’s official, it’s going to be Paul Ryan.
The Romney Veep App made the announcement earlier this morning, and every news source is reporting it. The decision was made on August 1.
The left already is going crazy, but that would have happened regardless of who the Veep nominee was; only the details of the outrage would have differed.
This was a bold choice, far more bold than I expected. My first reaction when I heard the news was one of deep ambivalence, drawn naturally from knowing how the Obama campaign and media would distort Ryan and his budget proposals.
The nation now is faced with a stark choice, economic freedom and solvency or creeping socialism. It’s a choice we are not often willing to put to the electorate in such stark contrasts, but it was the choice long before Ryan was selected.
Ryan puts the national debt front and center in the election, on par with or maybe even ahead of jobs. This is a winner of an issue, it’s what motivated people in 2010, and it will cause huge turnout for Romney-Ryan. Fear not.
Ryan will now have a national platform like never before to eviscerate Obamanomics and Obamacare (h/t Ace):

I’d much prefer that Romney’s team not jump when Obummer’s team essentially tells it to by letting loose some outrageous nonsense that needs countering or explaining. So far I think the Romney team has been handling the attacks very well. They’re not letting the jackasses set the tone of the campaign–only the Dems’ side of the campaign. Romney’s people are doing at least as much acting as reacting. For wavering Dem and Indie voters reluctant to vote Republican for whatever reason, this difference in tone and credibility might work to push them into making the right voting decision.
We elect liberty over submission with benefits. We choose voluntary exploitation through economic exchange and charitable works rather than redistributive change. We respect the individual dignity of our fellow citizens, and in following, do not envy the product of their success. We, hopefully, recognize the intrinsic value of human life and reject dreams of (physical) instant gratification, if for no other reason than to ensure the fitness of our society.
Incidentally, America is not defined by any one religion; although, it was and is principles of Christian temperance that is the premise for a people capable of self-moderating behavior, and therefore capable and worthy of individual liberty.
