Speaking the right-wing Voter Values Summit Friday, Rep. Paul Ryan spoke in front of a background featuring a list of sponsors that did a lot of talking, too. On Politics Nation on Friday, Rev. Al Sharpton took a look what wasn't verbalized in Ryan's speech.
- The American Family Association opposes same-sex marriage, is anti-Muslim, promotes religious intolerance, and attempts to use therapy to cure homosexuality.
- Liberty University won’t employ teachers or accept students who are gay.
- Liberty Council supports “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” and is against unions.
- The Family Research Council opposes and lobbies against LGBT rights, abortion, and divorce.
The continued focus on divisive issues is perplexing, according to Guardian correspondent Ana Marie Cox.
“When your winning issue is the economy, when your winning issue is getting back to business,” Cox said, “Why do you throw light on these divisive issues that most Americans are really willing to live and let live as long as you let them do what they want to do, which is work, which is supposedly what Romney is going to give them?”

I'm sorry, but, these days, every time that I see a picture of Ryan, a needle like pain hits me like a migraine. I do not trust this man and wonder how his District, in Wisconsin, bought into all of this talk. Guess that they weren't listening. Have the same problem with my neighbors here, in Oklahoma.
unfortunately ryan is my NONrepresentative. write or call his office you will probably have your call terminated and maybe you will receive yet another copy of his form letter about his plan. ryan admits he has not run the numbers onhis plan and will not give any details as to which cuts. at his listening sessions (should be called lecture sessions) he is only interested in his way or no way taking up the majority of the time with his lips flapping. ryan is determined to destroy our safety nets/medicare/social security and throw us under the bus and off the cliff. ryan was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and has no idea of the struggles we face. ryan has difficulty with the truth and tries to distance himself with the FACT that he backed bush's failed policies including two unfunded wars/TARP/unfunded medicare part D/tax cuts for the rich. ryan also cannot even tell the truth about the time it took to run a marathon. How can you trust a liar?
Punch!! That's it..!
Remember Punch and Judy?
Punch is a little jester that wears a little sugarloaf hat with a tassel that swings back and forth in front of his nose... and ah, that nose. Generous at the least. Way out there, little downward bulb at the tip.
Big sad doe eyes, eyebrows that droop down on the outer ends. Constantly getting alternately bigger, then normal, always darting left and right, like they don't want to meet your eyes...
A mouth that can be a big grin, but mostly looks like an upside-down smile... with small cut-like wrinkles, slicing downward toward the ends...
Big ears. That's all on that...big ears.
The funny little hat is the zinger though... because under it is this ridiculous point of his hairline that stabs downward in the middle of his forehead toward that nose. Does it grow like that or does it get combed and brushed to look like that?
But it's the hat that tells it all... it's what it represents. A Clown.... A Joker... A Jester. Whichever it is, it isn't to be taken seriously...
But all we have to do is listen and we know.
It's Paul Ryan.
As compared to obama whos has the AFL-CIO banners behind him, now there is a real tolerant group...
Eddie Munster? * shrug * Naw, that's too friendly. Ryan scares me a heck of a lot more than The Munsters.
The continued focus on divisive issues is perplexing, according to Guardian correspondent Ana Marie Cox.
I am not sure why Ana is perplexed, when everyone in the country thinks you are a liar and a dolt then naturally you will only speak to the same type of individuals, this is the only place he could get applause today.
Romney/Ryan are not genuine. Their eyes show their deception in a single glance. They're bad actors in an inauthentic drama.
If I am not mistaken, it was the country of England that said "Americans are the dumbest voters."
If I am not mistaken, it was the country of England that said "American voters are 48pct smart and 52pct dumb."
