The best part of Romney’s pick of Paul Ryan as his running mate is that it caught the LameSteamMedia absolutely flat footed. The LSM were caught flatfooted in two ways. First was the timing. We were assured that Romney wouldn’t try to compete with Olympic coverage. So we were told we could look for announcement on Tuesday after the dust from London had settled. Next, they were caught flatfooted by the pick of Paul Ryan.
It was a great pick. It was a serious pick by a serious man. It was a pick Lex never would have made. Lex would have been all politics, a woman, no, better yet, a black woman who happens to be Jewish with Hispanic sir-name confined to wheelchair.
Romney picked a guy best suited to tell the conservative side of the fiscal mess we’re in and how to begin to claw our way out. Charles Krauthammer once opined that Ryan would be the perfect presidential candidate because he was the GOP’s most articulate spokesperson for fiscal and budget matters. If you doubt that, watch this 6 minutes of Ryan destroying Little Barry in a budget discussion. The ease and forcefulness with which Ryan makes his case is a nine letter word for Oh so pathetically slow Joe shovel ready Biden. That 9 letter word from the Biden dictionary is T-R-O-U-B-L-E. Now Ryan’s on the ticket.
In the VP debate, Chris Christie would have just smashed Slow Joe into a thousand of pieces by force of personality. Ryan will slash Slow Joe into confetti sized bits with such skill Slowest of all Joe’s won’t even know what happened to him until he tries to walk off stage. At that point, he will simply disintegrate into a small pile of colored bits like those a janitor sweeps up in a elementary school art room.
Even better news for Romney is that all the right people are hating on Ryan. Two girls from the LSM are up arms about the choice. Girl one is Andrea Mitchell from NBC news. She opined that Ryan, “is not a pick for suburban moms. This is not a pick for women.” Hmm, last time the GOP tried a actual suburban Mom who happened to be a successful business woman and the Governor of Alaska to boot. Any woman truly interested in the advacement of women would have been ecstatic. But where did that choice get the GOP? Creepy girls like Andrea and the rest of the lamestreamers rolled in on Sarah Plain as if she were Cruella DeVille stealing puppies for a fur coat.
Next was CNN’s I’ve ate too much Candy Crowley (OK that was too easy). She described the Ryan pick as a “ticket death wish.” Why? Well according to candy cane Crowley, Ryan’s pick will make the campaign about entitlement reform and fiscal restraint. And Candy say’s, “we’ve already had that discussion.” Gee, what was it about, Candy? The American people deciding that it was OK to go another 5 trillion in debt in just three years? I don’t think so.
The fact that the campaign is going to be about entitlement and fiscal responsibility proves the first point in this post. Romney is serious about getting something done for America. He’s not running for president because he likes the location of the White House and the color of the drapes in the Oval Office. He is serious about fixing the mess we’ve gotten ourselves into by trusting know nothing Mr. HopeNchange.
