Would you be nervous if Paul Ryan was president? (votes, Congress, Afghanistan)

Bidden thinks we have soldiers in Iran. Can't imaging his gaffs when he talks to political leaders in other countries.

If Romney wins, Ryan might as well be President because party leaders have already said that their legislative agenda will be the Ryan plan. He scares me witless, and I'm usually pretty stoic about elections. Ryan is a full blown radical nut.

Cheney was the one who pushed us towards going to war or do you think it really was all Bush's idea ?

Agreed. While not thrilled with Romney by a long shot, my sense is that underneath it all, he's basically just a pragmatist and manager, rather than a full-tilt, self-righteous ideologue like Ryan (who BTW, also reminds me of the way Paul Krugman once described Newt Gingrich, as "a stupid man's idea of what a smart person sounds like").

How on earth does this not describe Obama to a T?
With Obama, It's a known fact. Wit Ryan, it is just wild speculation.

Harvard (where Obama and Romney both graduated) is ranked as the world's most reputable university, by Forbes, and many other well-known standards.

Meanwhile Forbes ranked Miami University (Ryan's alma mater) 183rd, among all colleges and universities in the United States!

I'd be fine with Paul Ryan as president. And I'd be nervous if Biden was.
