WASHINGTON -- He's been in Congress for nearly 13 years, but Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) has only seen two of his bills pass into law during that time.

Ryan, who Mitt Romney has tapped as his running mate, passed a bill into law in July 2000 that renames a post office in his district. Thanks to Ryan, the post office on 1818 Milton Ave. in Janesville, Wis., is now known as "Les Aspin Post Office Building."

The other time Ryan saw one of his bills become law was in December 2008, with legislation to change the way arrows (as in bows and arrows) are hit with an excise tax. Specifically, his bill amended the Internal Revenue Code to impose a 39-cent tax per arrow shaft, instead of a 12.4 percent tax on the sales price. The bill also "includes points suitable for use with arrows in the 11 percent excise tax on arrow parts and accessories."

Kevin Seifert, Ryan's congressional spokesman, did not respond to a request for comment.

Paul Ryan Only Passed 2 Bills Into Law In More Than A Decade

So?
Is this all you have, assfucker?
"Senator" Obama/Sorereo (whatever the fuck his name is) passed what?

Americans don't believe GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney hit a home run with his choice of Paul Ryan as a running mate, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds, with more of the public giving him lower marks than high ones.

Ryan, a Wisconsin congressman, is seen as only a "fair" or "poor" choice by 42% of Americans vs. 39% who think he is an "excellent" or "pretty good" vice presidential choice.

So basically the positive and negative catagories are a statistical dead heat, with 19% probably saying not sure, in a poll taken a few days after the announcement.

This poll is bad for Ryan how?

 

[Truthmatters]

The more they listen to Ryan, the more they will like his ideas

just the opposite will be the case

 

[Dr.House]

The more they listen to Ryan, the more they will like his ideas

Ryan will mop the floor with 0bama's bullshit lies and spin...

Very energetic pick...

The VP debate will be an embarrassment for Biden...

 

[Old Rocks]

Well, I guess we will see in the coming weeks.

 

[Stephanie]

lol, he's been the VP candidate for what, TWO DAYS

poor Lakhota...must see the writing on the wall..the Ryan threads have been coming fast and furious

 

[Seawytch]

I think for sure he'll score a few points on likeability, the question will be how effective he can be at communicating budgetary matters. The Democrats will be hammering on the emotional side from here on in, so we'll see if he can cut through. He's the anti-Romney personality-wise, though, that has to help.

.

You're right...he's a better snake oil salesman than Romney...but the product is the same.

 

[Dr.House]

lol, he's been VP for what, TWO DAYS

poor Lakhota...must see the writing on the wall..the Ryan threads have been coming fast and furious

He got his marching orders and is following through like a good little sheeple....

He/she/it never had an original thought....

True story...

 

[Seawytch]

The Ryan Medicare voucher plan would allow private health insurance companies to cherry pick the most healthy seniors, leaving least healthy seniors in government Medicare - which would make it unsustainable and wreck it. Hence, leaving the least healthy seniors out in the cold. Sooo, the video showing granny being thrown off the cliff still applies.

Actually, no. From Ryan's site:

All health plans that participate in the Medicare Exchange, including the traditional Medicare option, would be required to offer insurance to all seniors – regardless of age and health status – thereby preventing insurers from cherry picking only the healthiest seniors for coverage under their plan. Additionally, the federal contribution to seniors’ health plans would be increased to account for a senior’s health status and age.

Should be interesting to watch Ryan respond to all these kinds of charges. I have to admit I was believing them at first, too.

.

Is there anything controlling how much insurance companies can charge? Doesn't do any good to have a plan nobody can afford.

Most Americans don't know Paul Ryan. But they will and when they do--they're going to like him.

While growing up, Ryan and his family often went on hiking and skiing trips in the Colorado Rocky Mountains.[7][14] Since Ryan shares his first name with his father, he was given the nickname, "P.D." (for Paul Davis), but it was often mistaken for "Petey", which Ryan disliked.[15] When Ryan was 16, his father died of a heart attack in bed and Ryan found him there. According to Ryan, his father, grandfather and great-grandfather all died from heart attacks at ages 55, 57, and 59 respectively, inspiring his later interest in health and exercise.[14] After his father's death, Ryan's grandmother, who suffered from Alzheimer's disease, moved in with his family and he helped care for her.[4] His father’s death provided Ryan with Social Security benefits until his 18th birthday, which he saved to pay for his education at Miami University of Ohio.[15][16]
As a junior at Joseph A. Craig High School in Janesville, Ryan was elected class president, which made him prom king and gave him his first political position, a seat on the school board representing his high school.[4] He competed in track, was on his high school's ski and varsity soccer teams and played basketball in a Catholic recreational league,[17][18][19] as well as being a member of several academic clubs and the Model United Nations.[17][4] After his sophomore year he worked the grill at McDonald's.[4]

And here he is taking on Barack Obama over spending. This 41 year old from Wisconsin is brilliant.

From your own link

Ryan's impact on the race is similar to that scored by Biden four years ago, Newhouse says. Then, a Gallup survey found 14% more likely to vote for Obama as a result, 7% less likely.

About the same as Biden lol

Then the insurance companies wouldnt make any money. The government would basically have to pay the amount the insurance companies would ask for to cover these people. The thing is they would eliminate the layers of buracracy that medicare creates, leaving oversight and enforcement of the laws's basic tenents.
