Catholic Congress Man Paul Ryan Picked for VP Slot by Romney.
Will there be another Catholic in a high ranking office next year?

Re: Paul Ryan!!
This could give Romney a few points and close the gap between him and Obama.

Re: Catholic Congress Man Paul Ryan Picked for VP Slot by Romney.
Until recently I had no idea how many Catholics were in government.
The Vice President is Catholic, Nancy Pelosi is Catholic, a lot of the governors are Catholic, 6 of the Supreme Court Justices are Catholic.
Wow.

It does at that....
Ryan will help Romney with conservatives who were wary of him, but he'll likely send moderates running the other way. A brief look at the political sites this morning showed me that Democrats are very happy about this pick. That's not really what you go for-a pick that makes the people you're running against happy.
And wasn't his budget the one the Bishop's spoke about as being against Catholic teaching?

Doubt he will send moderates running, he has consistently won re election, 7 terms, in a moderate district

Biden and Pelosi calling themselves Catholic is a joke considering they worship infanticide!

Announcing the pick at this time was nothing more than a attempt to move the focus off of Romney's refusal to disclose his tax records. Normally, the VP pick would be announced at the convention.
It is estimated that Ryan's budget would push 900,000 more children into extreme poverty, while extending tax breaks to the 1 percent who own more than the bottom 90%.
Ryan may oppose abortion, but in terms of some important social justice issues, I don't think that "voucher boy" can stand up to scrutiny. It will be interesting to see what AARP has to say about him to their membership. And this choice was made by the architect of Romneycare in massachusetts. Utter hypocrisy.
As disappointing as the Obama presidency has been, we can't afford to continue taking from the poor children in order to increase the net worth of the billionaires. It is wrong morally. It is bad economic policy.
