Brown-nosers have to be wishy washy.

Paul Ryan is just as wishy washy as Romney, voted for bank and auto bailout before he was against them-paul-ryan.jpg

No different than any other politician. Obama was against same sex marriage, then for it. But no one holds him to any standard as that would be to high, no matter how low it is.

You seem to be very critical of Obama, yet it seems like you are giving Ryan a pass

The same sex debate doesn't require $700,000,000,000.00 of taxpayer money.

Typical of Romney, Ryan and most of the Republican party. They're all for capitalism, private markets, and cutting spending until it involves their big corporate and bank buddies.

Obama was against gays before he was pro gays....so what. People can make mistakes and learn from them..

Did you always make the right decisions? it comes down to how you grow as a person and how you use your brain!

Remember if you are not a Democrat at 18 you have no heart, if you are not a Republican at 40 you have no brain.

Yeah, those guys like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Jeff Bezos are brainless...

Frankly, Ryan's economic credentials are severly lacking for someone who is supposedly an expert in that area. He's never been an executive of anything, so how is he aware of how a budget works exactly?

Plus, this:
Quote:
In a letter to Chu in December 2009, Ryan said the stimulus money would help his state create thousands of new jobs, save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. That contrasted with his public statements denigrating the stimulus program as a "wasteful spending spree." It also conflicts with his larger federal budget proposal, which would slash Energy Department programs aimed at creating green jobs.
So according to him in 2009, Stimulus money is good and it creates jobs. Now he's against it.
So not only do they have the world's reigning Heavyweight Flip-Flop champion, the VP candidate is an up-and-coming Flip-Flopper. Wow.

People wonder why I'm voting for Gary Johnson, this is a pretty freaking obvious example. Johnson has actually remained on point with his opinions, which is why he could not win the GOP nomination...the voters are just too dumb to realize when someone is pandering to them just to get votes.

I don't see where he has changed positions. All he said is that the Obama administration mismanaged TARP funds.
