I have settled on a GOP candidate to support.

I didn't say Ryan was running. I said that his policies are ignored by the so-called moderates that you claim should come rushing to a guy who is fiscally conservative yet is silent about social issues.

I am having a hard time deciding who on this thread is more thick headed, you or ditzie.

I will attempt to spell it out very slowly for you this time.

I stated:

If we had a candidate (from either party) come out with a sound economic plan, who in turn stated that social issues should be on the back burner until the economic/fiscal side was resolved, they would win in a friggin landslide. Moderates of both parties along with Independents would flock to such a stance.

Now.... start slowly with the above.... this will help you avoid getting lost again....

1) IS Ryan a candidate right now? (HINT: THE ANSWER IS NO)

2) If Ryan is NOT a candidate, then is anyone going to vote for him? (HINT: THIS ANSWER IS ALSO NO.... BECAUSE HE IS NOT CURRENTLY RUNNING)

3) If Ryan is NOT a candidate, then people will pay more attention to those who ARE candidates when discussing CANDIDATES for President... true or false? (HINT: THE ANSWER IS TRUE)
 
Ditzie.... NO ONE is suggesting anyone abandon principles. We are saying the issue most important to this entire nation is the ECONOMY. If a candidate were to focus on that as the primary domestic issue, they would win in a landslide. This doesn't mean they can't have opinions on social issues. It doesn't even mean they can't state their positions. What we are saying is that they should state the primary focus domestically will be on JOBS/ECONOMY until that situation improves. Until then, they are not going to focus legislative efforts on social issues.

Except, of course, that all conservatives, including myself, consider the economy, stupid, the #1 issue.

It doesn't matter if he's a candidate or not.

It better be, or we are just too stupid to win against one of the most vulnerable sitting Presidents I have ever seen. Simply getting people to pay attention to the truth should beat this guy.
 
Ryan's stance is about to cost the GOP a "safe seat" in NY, according to the polls.

Paul Ryan;'s name is not on the ballot in the special election to fill the open congressional district representing the small towns and suburbs of upstate New York.

That's a good thing, as the politically-toxic Ryan would almost certainly lose the previously "safe" Republican seat.

But Ryan might still cost his party the seat.

Indeed, his ideas have put the Republican nominee in the race on the defensive.

This may shock DC insiders, who still think the House Budget Committee chairman is a convincing character.

And Ryan is convincing.

Up to a point.

The Wisconsin Republican convinced his colleagues in the House to endorse a budget plan that -- via a voucher program -- would use Medicare funds to enrich the private insurance firms that have donated so generously to his campaigns. O.K, in fairness, thatThat wasn't too hard. Ryan's colleagues have a taste for this sort of pay-to-play politics.

Ryan also convinced much of the national media to buy into the fantasy that gutting Medicare was necessary in order to balance the federal budget. That should have been harder, as Ryan's plan, with its many tax breaks for billionaires and multinational corporations, would not balance the budget for decades. But most of the media takes economic stories only slightly more seriously than it does political stories..

So Ryan was on a roll... until the American people caught on to what he was proposing.. Unlike the DC insiders,they objected -- loudly.

First they complained at town-hall meetings. Now, they appear to be preparing to express their grievances at the polls.

New York state voters will troop to the polls May 24 to fill what is supposed to be one of the most solidly Republican congressional seats in the northeast. The former Republican congressman from New York's 26th district, Chris Lee, had to quit after he git caught trolling the Internet for dates. But no one doubted that the Craiglist Congressman would be replaced by an equally upstanding Republican.

Until Paul Ryan made issues matter.

Democratic contender Kathy Hochul has surged since she began attacking Ryan’s plan. As the Buffalo News notes, "The Hochul campaign... has recognized the special dynamics of what looms on May 24 and employs an aide with experience in special elections. The campaign has recognized early on that the educated voters who will vote on Election Day know their issues, that they know the term 'Ryan budget,' and they know that a major overhaul of Medicare as we know it is part of the deal that (Republican nominee Jane) Corwin supports. It’s why issues matter in a special election. 'I had no idea [at the campaign’s start] that the Ryan budget would be in play,' said (a) Democrat close to the campaign. 'But it’s in play.'"


Ryan's budget is not the only thing in play.

So's the seat.

A new Public Policy Polling survey has Hochul opening up a 35 percent to 31 percent lead over Corwin. A third candidate, businessman Jack Davis, who is running an independent campaign based on Tea Party movement themes, is pulling 24 percent of the vote, while Green Ian Murphy is at 2 percent.

Public Policy Polling is a Democratic-leaning firm. But these numbers follow the pattern of previous surveys, which showed Hochul rapidly closing on Corwin after the Democrat made Ryan's budget a central issue.

And Hochul is not backing off now that she has moved into the lead.

The Democrat, a popular county clerk with deep roots in the region, is airing new television commercials that highlight the fact that Corwin (and Davis) would "cut benefits for seniors while cutting taxes for the wealthy."

Hochul promises to "fight the Republican budget that aims to decimate Medicare and any Republican efforts to privatize Social Security."

"I will stop at nothing," she says, "to protect the guarantees we’ve made to our seniors over the last 76 years.”

Hey shithead, what has your cut-n-paste about RYAN from a left wing BLOG got to do with the thread topic?

How about stop spamming my threads with stupidity?

It has relevance due to the insistence of your fellow tards that Ryan is your savior, Confederate apologist. Get an adult to read the posts in the thread that mention Ryan to you.


How about sucking my dixie?

You're not relevant, and anything you have to say is not relevant, including anything you have to post from your irrelevant blogs.

Paul Ryan isn't running for president. Get over it!

Now go away, TROLL!

Really? You believe that? How much you want to bet that Obama wins re-election now by an even larger margin then he did against McCain?

I think it's much funnier that dixie and his cousin wife support Cain.
Will Cain outdo Keyes?

Who knows? My major concern with Cain is his health. He's in remission from level 4 colon cancer which has less then a 10% 5 year survival rate. Considering how stressful the job is on a healthy adult male of that age I question if he is making a decision that is in his best personal interest.

But even if Cain didn't have health issues I couldn't vote for anyone who would scrap SS or support the unfair and oxymoronic "Fair Tax".
