Trickle
Politics • Views: 27,059
The Obama campaign actually released this new ad yesterday, so soon after the Ryan announcement that they must have had it ready.

I wonder why Upper Midwesterners are excited about eliminating Medicare.

That explains the last paragraph at the Wikipedia article under 'History' for Janesville, WI:
History
Janesville was founded in 1835[3] on the east bank of the Rock River. Named for an early settler, Henry Janes,[4] early development depended on water power from the river and an early territorial road that included the first bridge across the Rock River.[5]
Janesville was the site of the first Wisconsin State Fair in 1851, attended by approximately 10,000 people.[6]
Lavinia Goodell, Wisconsin's first female lawyer (1874), lived in Janesville.[7]
A tree that once stood in downtown Courthouse Park was the site of a lynch mob that hanged a convicted murderer in 1859.[8] In 1992, television journalist Geraldo Rivera was arrested for battery after an altercation during his coverage of a Ku Klux Klan rally in Janesville.[9] The location of a related cross burning in 1992 is now "Peace Park" with a playground and a peace pole, said to be the world's tallest at 52 feet.[10]

You know, for as much as Freepers and the right as a whole claim they support strong national defense, you'd think that they would be okay with openly gay members. I think the Freepers like many idiots on the right have this image of every gay person being this caricature. There are and have been many gay men and women in this country who would make better soldiers than I would. Has nothing to do with sexual orientation whatsoever. Anyhow, the gays in the military is another issue that Paul Ryan is full of shit on. Guy fancies himself a supporter of individual rights yet has a problem with gays serving openly in the military.

From Justseeds:
Milwaukee-based documentary filmmaker Brad Lichtenstein has posted a ten-minute trailer of his new film "As Goes Janesville" a powerful portrait of the decline of a one-industry town in south central Wisconsin. The film trailer documents the massive class divide between rich and poor as industry leaves (the GM plant) and right-wing policies take hold.

I think I see 65% Obama ads, 35% Romney here in Loudoun County, Virginia. This is a county Obama won but it's also one that Republican gubernatorial candidates typically carry(Actually thinking about it, I think Warner and Kaine both won here but Deeds got his butt kicked) and had been carried by every single Republican presidential candidate going back to Nixon in '68. Obama had a campaign rally in Leesburg in 2008 and he had another one there last week when I was out of town. I guess the Republicans are conceding Northern Virginia in national elections, I personally think it's because to them we're just a bunch of liberal government drones even though this area is more moderate than liberal.

I have to admit, I was shocked reading downstairs that Paul Ryan has two bills passed during his career in Congress. One of them a bill to name a post office after his predecessor and the other a tax increase. Really this is a leader? All of the ones Romney was vetting had flaws but gosh at least, he could have chosen someone with some legislative accomplishments. Take Obama's choice of Biden. Biden was very well respected for his expertise on foreign policy.

Ryan is entirely a media confection. The "bold/serious" labels are all marketing--facilitated by puff pieces from various Koch-funded "thinktanks"-- and it looks like Romeny/Ryan aren't going to break out of that mould.

Yeah, I'm having deja vu to Sarah Palin where she was championed by the right wingers as a "maverick." I've seen nothing about Sarah Palin in the past four years that suggests she's anything other than a very partisan conservative. Sure, she'll criticize the GOP establishment but that's when they act reasonable and suggest that nominating people like Christine O'Donnell isn't smart politics if your party is looking to regain the Senate. Funny line I'm seeing from the GOP is how Ryan is a reformer. Really, this guy's a reformer? This guy who voted with Bush over 95% of the time and voted for pretty much all the Bush items that contributed to the debt. Sure, he tries to get out of it now that many of those items are unpopular but it's just that- weaseling out because they're unpopular. He's an as big opportunist as Mitt. If I were Obama's team. I'd hit him with how inconsistent he is as well as emphasizing his extreme social conservative views.

I live in an almost presidential-campaign-TV-ads free zone. My vote, and that of my neighbors, is essentially a foregone conclusion. No one wastes money talking to us.
Sometimes, when there are party-specific votes going on, I end up waiting in lines out the door. I try not to glare at the Republicans as they walk in, get their ballot, go straight to their booth, and are out the door in, like, two minutes.

Interestingly enough, this is what the New Republic had to say about Ryan:
"Over-rated thinkers":
PAUL RYAN
Representative Paul Ryan is Washington’s idea of A Very Serious Person—an earnest individual with a systematic plan. It doesn’t have to be a good plan, but, if it has enough charts and numbers, and is accompanied by some patronizing finger-wagging, it’s golden. Ryan is in fact a slightly creepy Ayn Rand enthusiast (see above) seeking to impose a radical right-wing agenda on the country, but his doeish eyes and his Midwestern vintage convinced a rapt press corps that he is the ideas man in this age of budgetary woe. There is probably no public perception more deserving of a major revision.

Even Obama's legislative record was more impressive, in the half an hour he spent in the Senate before starting his presidential campaign.
Barack Obama sponsored 137 bills from 4 Jan 2005 until 16 November 2008. Two became law.[1] This figure does not include bills to which Obama contributed as cosponsor, such as the Coburn-Obama Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 or the Lugar-Nunn Cooperative Proliferation Detection, Interdiction Assistance, and Conventional Threat Reduction Act of 2006.

Yeah and those two were alot more important than a tax increase involving archery and a post office, no disrespect intended to Les Aspin, the post office's name sake but still. So, the GOP has one guy who has ran away from all his political accomplishments as governor and doesn't want us to talk about what he did in the private sector. And now we have his running mate who has been a member of Congress since 1998 and has two bills to his name in law and whose budget plan is reviled and whose running mate dismissed as the two of them not always going to agree. Yep, this is America's "comeback team." Two guys whose sole line is pretty much vote for us, we're not Obama, you know you want us.
