Paul Ryan for Vice President is a great choice by Mitt Romney. If you think elections are supposed to be about issues and choices, instead of demagoguery and mudslinging, Paul Ryan is your choice. Paul Ryan knows his stuff. Because of people like Paul Ryan, the Republicans in the House have passed detailed budgets the last two years. The Democrats in the Senate haven’t even tried in three years (other than the broad generality of the debt extension that everybody passed in the summer of 2011). Paul Ryan makes hard choices. The Democratic leadership in the Senate avoids them.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal in February 2011, Paul Ryan said, “The way I look at things is if you want to be good at this kind of job, you have to be willing to lose it.”* That’s the kind of person we want.
