Bipolar in full swing Ralph Hahn?
Google it dumba$$!
Here are just some of the candidates eschewing the Ryan budget:
Richard Tisei – In his district outside of Boston, Tisei won’t win on a hardline Republicans budget plan, so Tisei has tried to avoid the issue of the Ryan budget altogether. “I just don’t think it’s going to be an issue in this race,” he told Politico.
George Allen – Virginia’s senate race is Allen’s best hope to get back into politics after his 2006 loss, and he’s hoping to be able to ally himself with the Romney-Ryan ticket without having to embrace Ryan’s proposed Medicare cuts. At a rally on Thursday, when Allen was asked about supporting the Ryan plan, he told reporter, “I think your assertion’s incorrect,” and “I haven’t had a chance to look at their latest permutation from it.”
Denny Rehberg – Rep. Denny Rehberg (R-MT) is running a competitive race for the Senate, and while he embraced Romney’s pick of Ryan, he simultaneously tried to signal to voters that Ryan and he had policy disagreements, writing in a release shortly after the announcement, there are “few occasions where” the two disagreed.
Chris Collins – Rep. Kathleen C. Hochul’s (D-NY) competitor refused to even discuss the Ryan budget with reporters over the weekend, fleeing from the quandary of the Ryan budget and its effects on Medicare. “I’m not going to get into a discussion now about a budget that may be passed next year with a new president and new Congress,” Collins told the Buffalo News, “I’m not going to go back and relive any proposal in the past because they are in the past.”
Brendan Doherty – The Rhode Island House candidate, Brendan Doherty, told Slate reporter Dave Weigel that he does not support the part of the Ryan budged that is “privatizing Medicare.”
Linda McMahon – McMahon’s opponent goaded the Connecticut senatorial candidate into distancing herself from the Ryan budget, releasing a statement asking whether McMahon would support Ryan’s Medicare cuts. In response, a McMahon spokesperson gave National Journal perhaps the most firm statement of opposition from a Republican candidate. “Linda McMahon will never support a budget that cuts Medicare,” he said.
The list is GROWING!!!!! LMAO!
@ Coffee Steve
Watch Shark Week and take a break. Rats will be buying all the free beer
After reading the weekend posts and some today, I dont think free beer is a good idea! sounds like some have already been overserved!!!
Here is another,
Maggie Brooks, who is running for the House in New York, doubled down on her disapproval of Ryan’s Medicare plan Monday, saying “It has always been my position that I do not support the Ryan budget and its proposals regarding Medicare.

Here are just some of the candidates eschewing the Ryan budget:
The funniest part of this entire thing is how the left is trying to make this all about the Ryan budget! They are tooo dumb to remember that he is THE RUNNING MATE NOT THE CANDIDATE!! Not to mention that the Romney plan has not been Ryan budget plan.
I hope you all keep laughing because when it comes time to explain in detail how the economy is going to be fixed I will take Ryan over Obama and Biden as the messenger by a long shot!! An I am not talking about the content but the delivery!
@Ratboy
Looks like I wasn’t alone in going to Romney’s site and donating. He’s raised over 5 Million since the announcement.
Talk Radio Louisville
after 7 minutes of a Dem blasting Romney and Ryan budget plan, the GOP guy came back and in 3 seconds, destroyed the Dem
“After three years of NO budget, at least they have one”
TADA!!!! BINGO!!!!
*New Obama panic: Romney crowd sizes…
The recent frantic email theme to supporters from Team Obama about Mitt Romney’s run-away fundraising successes has been expanded to the crowd size gap between the thousands who rushed out over the weekend to see Romney and new running mate Rep. Paul Ryan and the hundreds who cheered on President Obama.
The big worry expressed in a new email from Obama’s Chicago HQ: “The Republican base is energized.” The reason: Romney attracted 15,000 at a rally over the weekend.
The email:
Paul –
I just got this disturbing report: Yesterday’s Romney-Ryan rally in North Carolina pulled in an overflow crowd of 15,000 people.
There’s no spinning that number. It’s a LOT of people, and the Republican base in energized.
And that’s not all. Since the VP announcement, Romney’s campaign has brought in over 70,000 donations from his Tea Party base.

It’s 81°F now; 86°F forecast for tomorrow. I’m ok with it; MA used to be worse, hot and humid.
@AppleStinx
Lets hope Northern Cal isn’t effected. Mass may get hot too Apple, but earlier we had heat indexes with the humidity of 118 and it was just plain miserable.
One day we had a dew point of 82 and temp of 108 and it was instant sweat as soon as you opened the door. I can do without those days.
@coffee steve and ratboy
i’m sending a big cold front your way by friday were going to have a high of 70 with a low of 49.
@Twins Fan
Thank You. They say our high on Saturday will be 72 and Sunday 74. For us, and this time of year we may have to break out the jackets
@d.d.
The Tea party group in Lousisville signed 50 new members up d.d. and that’s just since Saturday morning. Most are owners of small businesses, and the others just want a change. Those guys are growing fast. I miss being in it, but my time is pretty muched filled right now.
We’re watching the sharks tonight, so see you guys in the AM
Peace

@coffee steve and ratboy
I think it is alrady here in Michigan! rainy and cool 64 degrees
@Coffee Steve: Howdy, to y’all. I was out Friday and I don’t usually check in from home. You actually gave $$$ to the Romney camapign? GOOD Coffee Steve! To tell you the truth, I haven’t yet. I had to cancel my debit card tonight and wait for a new one. Sure, I can use a check, but I owe two years auto registration. Yeah, I forget now and then. Must because I’ve been single for more than seven years and my head explodes (literally) every time I have to think of money. I tried a new pain reliever my doctor had given me for my tension headaches. Maybe, I should just fast forward through Little Jeffy’s rantings. I know, you’re buddies with everyone, so I won’t put you into this. Maybe if I hadn’t been a journalist since the early-70s, I would, maybe, believe everything I read from partisan talking points.
wtf? I just posted something else, sent it along, and WHOOP it disappears like the other one earlier today that I thought I had posted. Blame Jeff.
Looks like SGT Schultz is ready to camp out in Wisconsin and defeat Ryan…he’s as shrill as ever,he sure taught Scoot Walker a lesson didn’t he.
@ralph. Don’t get upset when people respond to your stupid remarks. I hope you get relief for your pain & dilemmas.
Start Blaming yourself when things go wrong, maybe that’s the start of a better future.
I could be wrong.
Isn’t it nice that Fox News considers themselves fair and balanced yet they have someone like this on their network?
A tough, tough riff on the Romney campaign from Laura Ingraham on her show Friday:
I might be the skunk at the picnic but I’m going to say it. I’m going to say it clear. Romney’s losing. I don’t like to start a Friday show with this, but I feel like I must. I don’t pretend to have all the answers, but I know one thing: conservatism wins. When you are debating the other side on substance, when you are attacking with substance, when you are laying out a vision with passion, that marries conservative ideals to the problems of the day, you will win.
