Helloooo, Paul!After what seems like years of speculation, Republicans finally have their ticket for the 2012 presidential race. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has all but officially landed the nomination, and on Saturday, he announced that Congressman Paul Ryan (R-WI) will be joining him as the vice presidential nominee.
Later that day, I was hanging out with a friend, another suburban mom like myself, when I got a news buzz on my phone. “Ugh,” I said out loud, “Andrea Mitchell is shooting off about how Paul Ryan isn’t a good pick for women or suburban moms.”
“Who’s Andrea Mitchell?” she asked.
I snorted, because if Andrea Mitchell ever knew someone didn’t know who she was, she’d probably be offended. She’d probably also be offended by that last sentence, because some people just take themselves way too seriously. Anyway, I told my friend, “She’s a White House correspondent. Flaming lib. Probably burned her bra in the '60s. Now she’s saying that Paul Ryan isn’t a good pick for women.”
“Whatever,” my friend replied. “He’s hot and he wants to cut spending. This suburban housewife is all for Ryan.” And that is why I love her.
All personal stories and poking fun at Andrea Mitchell aside, let’s take a look at the Republican Vice Presidential Nominee. Really, really take a look at him. Mmmmm ... sorry couldn’t help it. Man’s a stud. Aside from the exterior aesthetics, conservative girls go gaga for the fiscal hawk inside that P90X-toned bod.
Paul Ryan became an instant Tea Party rock star when he completely dismantled Obamacare in six minutes back when Congress was still debating whether or not to defund Medicare as we know it. He had the audacity to point out that the Congressional Budget Office didn’t have sufficient detail to score the health care bill, because the health care bill counted a lot of money twice. Newsflash to liberals: Taking five dollars from your left hand and placing it in your right doesn’t mean you have ten dollars. Unfortunately, that’s how the CBO was forced to count it.
Paul Ryan is not afraid to go after Obama where it will hurt him the most -- the fiscal crisis our country is suffering right now. As the House Budget Committee Chairman, he has put forth numerous plans that the Democratic Senate has turned down. It’s been over three years since the Democrats have put forth a budget, and it’s time to get to work.
When Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan get to work next January, the rest of America can too.

Taking five dollars from your left hand and placing it in your right doesn’t mean you have ten dollars.
That's freakin' awesome. LMAO!
Ryan is an economic genius. So looking forward to getting a couple of grown-ups in the White House. Ones with basic math skills and the understanding that money - even other people's - is limited and we can't spend more than we have.
And yes, Ryan is easy on the eyes!
Oh Rhonda you all are hating and you know it. All I heard the last election was about how hot Obama is (barf barf barf.) The difference between this guy and Obama is we know Ryan is smart and Obama wants us to just take his word on it. I find it funny that no one wants to talk about how much money was donated to Romney over this pick in under 24 hours. You liberals better do your homework because you will now have to have a debate about the economy and you are screwed. Oh I can't wait for the debates!!! This duo will change our country and Ryan will not be scared to call Romney out. I was going to begrudgingly vote for Romney but now I can't wait to vote for this ticket.
I was so excited to read this, because I thought you were actually going to lay out some solid arguments for WHY Paul Ryan is, as you put it, "the right pick for the ladies". Unfortunately, this piece was really disappointing and totally lacking in substance. Oh, wait--maybe this article has substance if you're a woman who makes her decisions on who to vote for based on who's got better pecs. Then again, if that's your litmus test, things like solid reasoning and evidence probably aren't going to have much of an impact on you, anyway.
No he's not. And you provided zero facts to back up your assertion.
How is it that if your not down for killing babies you hate women? What is up with that? Yes you have the right to choose, good for you. Obama supports you being a murderer what an awesome guy. What I find funny is women and this whole its my body my choice bull shit. You chose to have sex with a guy and you get pregnant and you call the shots with the man at your mercy. If you choose to abort your baby its none of his business but if you decide to keep it he better be ready to open his pocket book. You women are ridiculous. I don't want to outlaw abortion because I think that is between you and God but I don't want to pay for it either.
Also how dumb are you women to make this an issue in this election? Do you realize how in debt we are? Do you know the unemployment rate? There is a war on women but it's women themselves declaring that war. There are bigger problems in our country than this and Obama has proven he can't fix it, all he wants to do it throw money at the problem and its not working.
