Can we all agree that Paul Ryan is the gift that keeps on giving?

Every time I think, "OH! That is just delicious! What more could this guy do or say that would top THAT?" I read something else. I was getting pretty annoyed and depressed every time I got on Facebook having to see people I like supporting Romney. Guess what? Just a little over one week after the Ryan nomination and I haven't seen a SINGLE word supporting that ticket. Not one. I really ought to send Rmoney a Thank You card for selecting Ryan as his VP pick. Between down-ticket Republicans running as hard as they can from him and the dredging up of all the hypocritical things the Boy Wonder has said in the past twelve years to the delicious irony of his family making a giant chunk of their money off of government contracts to his 75% increase in net worth during the time he has been in office...Well, Paul Ryan is just the gift that keeps on giving.

Thank you, Mitt, for not releasing your taxes and for nominating Paul Ryan. Those two things alone are making this election cycle more fun than they started off being. "

(Oh, and I think we should all be wearing Facebook or whatever social media you indulge in OUT with accurate and verifiable information about Romney and Ryan.)

And as long as that remains uncertain- to me, the idea of Ryan as a VP (and Romney as Pres), is terrifying and certainly not a gift. I will remain optimistic but still not certain we can pull this off.

Very concerned. I even checked 'concerned' on that poll that was on here somewhere.

I am not certain of anything other than I am enjoying the hell out of poking holes in Paul Ryan. Or, more accurately, pointing out the holes he has poked in himself.
