Romney named Paul Ryan as his choice for V.P. candidate... Personally, I love it, and think it will get the focus on the economy and solutions for America. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Bill Gulley I'm surprised at you! I live in California where the Democrat policies have been in full force for 60 years, with massive government funded programs that give our tax dollars to pedophiles, ex cons, drug addicts and alocoholics under the guise of disability, free educations and priority to illegal immigrants, government unions demanding unsustainable benefits and wages, higher taxes a constant theme on our ballots, environmental regulations that require 8 different grades of gasoline throughout the state (which raises prices), hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland that cannot be farmed due to the Dems putting water for smelt over farmers, car registration fees so high that many lower and mid income people (especially the unemployed) are losing their vehicles, a community college system that is so top heavy it now takes 4 years for kids to finish a 2 year program for transfer to a university, and much much more.

California has a huge number of cities now in the process or ready to file bankruptcy. They cannot afford to pay for all the benefits negotiated in previous years with government employee unions.

The governments, both state and federal cannot continue spending money they don't have and expecting future generations to pick up the tab. It's a ponzi scheme in the truest sense! Can we go write out checks with no money in the bank and then go tell our neighbors they're on the hook for the bill? It's crazy!

So.. for all of you more liberal thinking people.... COME TRY OUT SOCIALISM IN CALIFORNIA...We have huge areas of unemployment where the "real" numbers are 20%, or more. IT DOESN'T WORK!!
