Ryan's sendoff rally
Washington Post:
I watch Paul Ryan being interviewed by Bret Baier Special Report this evening and he was impressive. The questions were not softballs, but were instead questions raised by President Obama in his recent speeches about everything from taxes to Medicare. Ryan knocked the Obama straw man arguments down with ease. It is going to be hard for the media to ignore what he is saying and it will be hard for Obama to continue his campaign of distortions and false premises.
No rational person thinks "extremist" when they see him explain policy issues. After all he is supporting policies that a large majority of Americans support on reducing the deficit and the debt and doing it in a rational manner.
As a thought experiment, could the Democrats explain their policy differences without using the word "extremist" as a pejorative? I have yet to hear any Democrat do so of late.
In a hometown “send-off” rally that doubled as a preview of the Republican National Convention speech he is set to give in Tampa, Rep. Paul Ryan on Monday delivered an impassioned description of his family’s journey to the United States from Ireland and outlined his vision for an America in which the role of community trumps that of government.
“We live together in freedom,” the presumptive GOP vice presidential nominee told a sea of more than 2,000 family members, friends, students and other supporters gathered in the gymnasium of his high school alma mater. “And what we do in our communities is we look out for one another. That’s what’s so special; that’s what government can’t replace or displace.”
...There is much more in his ode to his home town.
