Ryan is from my home town and I have personally met him. Still not going to vote for him.

Paul Ryan is one of the few people in Washington who deserves respect, because he's willing to actually discuss and put forward real solutions instead of making vague nebulous statements about what needs to happen.Comment

My dad's met Ryan and was thoroughly impressed. At the time, he asked if Ryan was going to join the primary races, and he said "No, I love my wife and kids too much."Originally posted by Donegeal View Post

I'm pretty sure you, your dad and brother would all get along great with Ryan and have wonderful opinions of eachother. You were all privledged from birth with a silver spoon never really understanding what the plight of 90% of America was like.Last edited by Donegeal; August 11, 2012, 19:22.Founder of The Glory of War, CHAMPIONS OF APOLYTON!!!

Let me clarify as that came out much harsher than I intended. You, your dad and brother are most likely great people that I'm sure I could have a good time sitting down with. Being born privledged is not a bad thing (indeed it is what most people strive for), doesn't make you bad person, and certianly completely outside of your control. It's not your fault that your perents are rich. However, it does distance you from how a vast majority of the population functions. How can you (or in this particlar case, Paul Ryan) lead a people that you cannot possibly understand?Founder of The Glory of War, CHAMPIONS OF APOLYTON!!!

Donegal - how does Obama represent this particular background? He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth - never worked a day in his life, went to Harvard, went to Columbia. His 'work' was as a community organizer, and he certainly wasn't hurting. His mother was filthy rich.However, it does distance you from how a vast majority of the population functions. How can you (or in this particlar case, Paul Ryan) lead a people that you cannot possibly understand?
I'm curious to why it's relevant for Ryan/Romney and not relevant for Obama.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

It really isn't. Understanding how the economy works does not require growing up in the ghetto. And I'm pretty sure Al is the only one on this board who has ever lived in the ghetto.Originally posted by C0ckney View PostComment
