I was sure that was.

Obama advisor David -- -- my guess was that he would pick.

Perhaps the 2004 democratic candidate Senator John Kerry and his running mate.

Senator John Edwards who's got everybody excited -- remember all that excite I don't know why that didn't occurred -- -- But -- -- -- was trying to spend Romney's new running mate congressman Ryan.

Is comparable to Governor Palin -- in all I can say -- that is.

Go block.

The Alaska governor had -- here in ten months of experience when she was nominated for vice president Ryan's.

Ryan did have was.

-- seven term.

As a -- analysts'.

Conference -- that's pretty impressed.

He also is the chairman of the house.

Budget -- one of the most important committees in congress.

From which he has managed.

Truth.

Actually take.

Leadership.

Of a lot of the intellectual direction of the Republican Party and the house itself he's been immensely successful.

There's a legislator as well Iraq this is a number of I think a lot of people on -- world.

He signed his name to 1001000.

Costs.

Sixty wore off bills.

And then -- resolution six months.

That's a lot.

That is a very productive working years in congress and many of those bills and resolutions -- we deal with tax policy and spending restricting it.

-- -- -- -- -- The Ryan budget has been passed in each of the last two years by the way.

He has authored the budget.

At that.

If that's an impressive -- you think about this the democratically controlled senate has gone more than 12100.

Days let's put -- 12100 and his.

And I have not passed a single.

Budget for the government of the United States -- that is -- -- ought to do so.

Even though you think that this president would insist upon doing so.

Because a budget as we all know us the blueprint for the administration's.

Vision.

For America.

There have been.

Zero.

Budgets.

Zero Democrats and energetically attacked the Ryan budget.

Vote to -- of -- vote in Medicare by the way.

Those claims were dubbed.

I think we should talk about sectors you're gonna hear a lot -- we're gonna talk a lot about Medicare I have a feeling but you should know.

That.

In 2000.

Eleven us.

The vote.

To end.

Medicare.

Was the lie of the year the lie of the year I think that -- their cranked up.

I'm going to make you wager here tonight and if you will just just remember this the wire 2012.

Will be.

The better -- -- again.

And why is that because Democrats.

Are ignoring the fact that the Ryan plan would affect people currently in Medicare.

Or those age from 55 to 65 who joined the program over the next decade.

Besides that governor Romney's making it clear the new Republican ticket will run on this budget plan not -- that means there's going to be some.

Flexibility.

And it includes extending the bush tax cuts reducing tax rates by an additional 20%.

Getting rid of the estate tax and a call to.

Ourselves that the alternative minimum tax and to do so.

Without raising taxes.

Romney promising no high income earners will have their taxes reduced either.

And President Obama on the other hand given us -- straight years of trillion dollar plus deficits.

And with the appointment.

Congressman Ryan to the ticket.

It's clear now that this election will be about the issues this is what the Democrats want to.

And what the conservatives want.

And it's delightful that everybody's having their way.

It's gonna be about the president's record.
