I think Ryan would be a great president. Much better than Obama or (God forbid) Biden.

No, I would not be nervous. it's not so much who the president is as who he surrounds himself with. Both Romney and Ryan will surround themselves with law-abiding patriots, completely opposite of what we have now.

Who could be scarier than Biden? It seems he's in the early stages of dementia or some other disease to me.

Funny many of the people surrounding Obama were from the bush era, or have you forgotten ? I'm not so sure though about Ryan perhaps without the influence of the neo-cons he might actually make a decent president but who knows. Romney on the other hand yeah I don't know anything about the guy or where his heart is on the issues I think he's just another slimy Corporate Exec. And I'm really not much for Obama either because throughout much of his administration he has unfortunately been very weak kneed towards the republicans.

Or not so early stages, making faces and smiling like a maniac!

Something about Ryan just seems so very plastic, fake and creepy like a ventriloquist's dummy.

I wouldn't be nearly as nervous to see Ryan as President as I would to see Biden as President...

Can you imagine what it would be like if Biden sat down with a foreign leader who didn't agree with him? If his performance at the VP debate is any indication, he'd have us embroiled in a full-scale war within 20 minutes.

As I posted in another thread, every time Biden gives a speech I expect to see someone just off stage with a tranquilizer dart "just in case."

Eddie Munster as president. No thanks. I would certainly pick Romney over Ryan any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
