Paul Ryan: Not a Typical Candidate; Condie Rice: Technology and Military Safe with Ryan
Day 3 of the GOP convention saw strong endorsements of the Romney/Ryan ticket by Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), the party's nominee in 2008 who faulted the Administration for foreign policy failures. Former Secretary of State Condelisa Rice strongly endorsed Romney saying that America's technology and military will be safe in the hands of Romney.
The centerpiece of the evening was the acceptance speech of Cong. Paul Ryan (R-WI) as the party's vice presidential candidate. I thought it was genuinely delivered by someone who is humbled by the history of the moment. He came through as a family man, deep rooted to his hometown of Janesville, WI. His nomination at age 42 is a clarion call for younger Americans to get involved, become active citizens and make a difference. Ryan, as Budget Committee chairman, knows about the dollars and cents of the Federal government. He will not be buffaloed by the likes of Joe Biden or Obama and is clearly a man of principle and convictions.

The republicans are now known as the American Taliban, they are trying to put this country back to the past. They are trying to do away with voter rights a woman’s right to choose. Give more of the country's wealth to the top 2% after they and their banker buddies squander 26 Trillion from the home owner and market share. Ever house hold lost 30% of their wealth on the last bubble the republican created. So what their answer to our economy take away all consumer protection from banks and corporations so we can create a bubble and get the economy moving faster. The rich are not getting richer fast enough because there is no bubble being created.
Let the economy grow slow and firm not fast to explode again. American families can not take another hit from Republican team. As for RI we are sinking because our leaders are more worried about themselves and do have time to create jobs and look after their wealth. That’s just it corporation’s think they have us over a bag and can do as they please. If you tell them you don't like it here in the US leave no one will miss you we will restart your business like you never left. Deport a few companies from our shores and watch as the rest fall in line or leave our wonderful country. Profits are great yet you greedy people still want more, you cut workers pensions to gain more profits, never cover the cost of living on your workers instead you give minute scraps to the workers while taking great big bonuses for yourselves.
