Joe Biden as President?

There is a lot of talk about Paul Ryan since his announcement as Mitt Romney’s VP pick. The talk has not been all good especially from partisan democrats. The criticism ranges from Paul Ryan is too young to being uncaring toward seniors and the needy. I personally think Paul Ryan was a stroke of genius by Mitt. He is caring in the fact that he is trying to save this nation from bankruptcy by being the one person willing to address the difficult budget issues we must face as a nation.

Paul Ryan has placed all the chips on black, and that black is the federal budget. The federal budget is sinking in red debt, and Paul Ryan is the author of a budget that addresses the areas in the budget that must be reformed in order to get back into a semblance of black. He addresses the biggest entitlement, Medicare, with thoughtfulness to current seniors, and the need for choices in the future for the younger folks to save the program.

Paul Ryan is a man that is not afraid to state the obvious and then defend it with details and plans that are easy to understand. He treats his position in government as any adult would. He is not afraid of the political backlash because he has done his homework and knows how to address any question thrown his way with a confident grasp of every detail because he has taken the time to study the facts.

In contrast, Joe Biden is the “junkyard dog” of Obama’s campaign. He is given his marching orders and goes out and does what he is told. Joe Biden has made gaffe after gaffe, and each time the media discounts it as “oh it’s just Joe Biden being Joe Biden.” That would be OK if he wasn’t a heartbeat away from being president.

The media has not done its job of vetting either President Obama or Joe Biden. Joe Biden is considered one of the most jovial politicians in Washington DC but is he prepared or capable of being president? Would you be more comfortable with a Paul Ryan presidency or a Joe Biden presidency? Joe Biden is not a very smart man. It is proven everyday he speaks and is backed up by his college transcripts. Paul Ryan is a very smart man and it is backed up every time he speaks and his college transcripts.

If the left wants to compare the VP slot I say bring it on. They have tried to paint a scary picture of Paul Ryan but they are finding it hard to do because the picture they are painting is not supported by the facts. The more the media focuses on Ryan and Biden the more aware the voters become about the scary possibility of Joe Biden becoming president.

And that is a truly scary thought: Joe Biden as president? The left should return to the failed attempt to paint Mitt Romney as the successful business man he is. The Obama campaign is imploding because they have nothing to run on and the two incumbent candidates are truly scary for this country. Neither has the right stuff to lead this nation to prosperity.

Just watch the two campaigns and what you see is two accomplished men, and two men with little accomplishment…

This Headline Says it All…

“We Have to Spend Money to Keep From Going Bankrupt”. Can you believe this? This is our Vice President speaking to members of AARP, the association that represents the elderly but unfortunately could care less about their member’s grandchildren.

Tell me this; if you borrowed money to pay your bills every week because you borrowed too much to begin with, is it better to stop spending and pay off the bills or continue to spend money? Do you buy another house and car when you can’t even pay for the house and car you own? As a family the decision is made for you because no one will lend you money if you can’t afford to pay it back. Why does this administration and politicians in general think borrowing and spending beyond our means is good for anyone?

We are in big trouble here folks. We need to all pay attention. We are losing our country to a bunch of imbeciles and ingrates…

No swimming pools in this money…

Joe Biden has specifically targeted swimming pools as something that the states should not spend OUR stimulus money on at the state level. OK, here’s where we agree, the federal government should not be spending money of ours on swimming pools. Here’s where I disagree.

I am in Tacoma Washington at the Western Sectional Championships swim meet at the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center. It is the most beautiful swimming facility I have ever been in and I am with about 1000 of my “closest” swimming parents from a number of Western states. It has the capability of hosting any level of swimming including the Olympics. They host the Nationals, Junior Nationals, as well as Division 1 college competitions.

There is no facility that compares to this in Colorado and I would argue is much needed. Here are the facts Joe Biden; it is our money not yours to spend on our needs. Me and another 100 plus families from Colorado flew here and I think Frontier, United, and Southwest Airlines would disagree that a swimming pool should not be built. We are staying in hotel rooms all throughout Tacoma and I would suggest Days Inn, Holiday Inn, Marriott and other hotels would disagree building a pool is a bad deal for the taxpayers. We ate in Olive Garden last night, Subway, and a Pizza joint so far with 4 days to go and I bet if you asked these restaurant owners whether or not a pool should have been built they would support it heartily.

I have been loading up on drinks and snacks at the local Wal-Mart, and have been driving around in an Alamo rental car. I am one parent with a Coach and two swimmers from our team and we will have spent a couple of thousand dollars when all is said and done. At the facility vendors are selling programs, tee shirts, swim wear, and goggles to the tune of thousands of dollars.

If you multiply the number of families that this event has attracted from a half dozen states because of a “swimming pool” I ask you Mr. Vice President; do you think building a swimming pool is still something we shouldn’t do?

You see, a smart a__ like you that has no idea how the economy works should shut your mouth and let us determine what we believe is best for OUR money. You having any control on this economy should scare the death out of every American.

The economy that is created by this “swimming pool” in Tacoma Washington beats any program you could ever come up with. You should ask a swimming parent and this local community if building this world class facility was worth the investment.

Every state would love to have a facility like this if they knew the benefits and didn’t have blow hards like you talking the great sport of swimming down…
