Well, Mitt Romney picked Paul Ryan, but that is not the end of the story. How about a different slant on the pick? You will not hear this one on the TV news.
Here is what the choice says. It reveals who the person Mitt Romney is. I am interested in what a smart guy like Mitt Romney thinks about us voters out here. What does Mitt Romney think about you and me? I would like to know that and I think that you would too. I already know what Obama thinks of us voters whether or not we voted for him or not. Obama thinks that most Americans are stupid and easily manipulated and that is exactly how he treats all of us. He is smarter than us and can manipulate us to do anything he wants and that include committing economic suicide, That was in another blog where I connected the dots the only way that 100% of the dots could be connected.
What about Mitt Romney? Here is the basic point. If Mitt Romney holds the voters in high regard, he would pick Paul Ryan. If he held us in low regard as Obama does, he would have picked Condalisa Rice. This does not in anyway demean either of these two people. They are just different people coming from different directions. I think that it is clear that more competent voters know that Obama is driving this country over a cliff economically and Paul Ryan is the only person, out in public view, pointing this out. Ryan does not have the strongest appeal to Blacks and union people, but Ryan is on the right track. Rice may appeal to Blacks and women voters and help on the international scale, but she has no public view of the real problems facing this country. Ryan does.
In an Obama choice, he would be less concerned about selecting the person that the country needs vs the selection that would appeal to the least competent voter. To the degree that Obama or Romney feel the voters are incompetent, the more they would select a good looking smooth talker. We don't need a good looking smooth talker in the White House. We need someone with the character and guts to explain to us voters that we are going off a cliff and the courage to do the "right" thing. We do not need more stimulus (aspirin). This is not a time for an aspirin and call me in the morning. The Obama policies combined with those policies in health and housing are killing us and that is what needs to be changed. Stupidity like real estate "flipping" and runaway health cost are going to bankrupt us if somethings is not done and it will mean "pain" and I mean real "pain'. Better to take the medicine now while there is still a chance of living thru this.
