PAUL RYAN SHOWS HE'S READY TO FIGHT

The Republican Convention has had excellent speakers with messages that will convince voters that the GOP has the solutions that will solve Americas problems. Tuesday night Ann Romney spoke with such heart felt passion for her husband, our country and women that it was thought she would be hard to beat during the remainder of the Convention. Then came Condoleeza Rice and Paul Ryan the nominee for Vice President.

Rice the former Secretary of State brilliantly displayed her knowledge of world affairs and the failures of the Obama administration in clearly showing both our allies and our foes where America stands and the dangers for us and the world that poses. She spoke unapologetic of American exceptionalism and that is was a good thing in this country to be successful. Sharing from her own experience Rice conclude her remarks with her example of how anyone can become anything they wish in The United States. Following is the complete speech:



The evening ended with the acceptance of Paul Ryan as the Republican nominee for Vice President. Ryan displayed a strength of character and passion that proves that not only is he the right man for the job, but is prepared to take the hard stances, make the tough decisions and play hard ball over the next several weeks with Barack Obama.

Ryan stated with conviction the Romney/Ryan position on Medicare and how Obama has stripped the program of $716 billion dollars. He went on to declare that this is a debate that is needed and he welcomes it and will win the debate over who is actually seeking to save the program not gut it.  One of Ryan's best lines of the evening came when he told of Obama's claim that he has failed to tell his story to voters. Ryan stated with passion that we have had nothing but words from The White House and we do not need words, "we need leadership."

He referenced his family and especially his admiration for his father who he lost at 16 and his, "role model," his mother who herself became a small business owner after the death of his father.  Ryan's convictions and his love for and passion for America were evident throughout his speech.  He stated emphatically that Romney/Ryan  would not, "replace our founding principles," as Obama has tried but, "reapply our founding principles." Following is Ryan's complete speech:




The mark is now set for Mitt Romney to fulfill as he accepts the GOP nomination. After two brilliant and passionate speeches by Rice and Ryan, Romney must step to the platform with a conviction, passion and the spirit to fight for America and Americans against the onslaught that has been and is sure to come from Barack Obama in these final days before the November election.  Ryan has shown his spirit to fight and now Romney must do the same.
