back. what a great time to be a government teachener janesville, to have two elected officials come back and talk to kids and say, you know, you can do it too. i think they are both down-to-earth people with different agendas. but they are both genuine people that i have a great deal of respect for. greta: as you go into this november election i take it if you didn t vote for him before in congress, are you considering voting for him on the vice-presidential ticket or the romney/ryan ticket? i hate to say this, but i won t be voting for him. i will be voting for president obama and joe biden again. greta: why? the biggest thing is education, for me. when representative ryan would talk about issues in class, i would bring up something about education. and his candid response logical one would be, that that is a local matter. i would come back with and i didn t want to antagonize him, but i would say, it s a local
opinions and everyone had a chance to voice their opinion. i think that s one of the nicest things that i have going with congressman ryan. we don t see the same way, politics, but yeting we are good friends, we can agree to disagree. which i think has been lost in the last few years in our government. greta: did you vote for him. no. i have not voted for him in the house elections. and to be honest, i voted for a few independents. at the time, i didn t think the democratic candidate was a better choice than congressman ryan. greta: does he know you haven t voted for him. e in i think he knows that. greta: why do you think that? well, he does now. he knows my politics. he is nice enough, he would come back and meet with my kids in class. how much more can you ask for, as a government teacher to have your congressman come to your class and talk to 30 kids at a time and do that four or five times in a day in and same with senator feingold who would come
greta: you saw a reference, one year he was also voted as the brown noser? oh, yeah greta: earned it? well, let s put it this way, he s a nice kid. come up to you, i don t want to say he s schmoozing me. i took him as sincere. greta: over the years, you stayed in touch with him? yeah. greta: i know that have you something he read put in the congressional record. yeah. when congressman ryan ran in 98 and as a freshman, he had to speak on the house floor, during a national education week. activity and he was nice enough to single me out on the house floor. granted, it is not on economics or how he votes, but we had a great time in our government class, back in the 80 sdz and through my retirement. it was one of those things where kids appreciated listening to other kids that had different
classmate of pauls in 88. we had a great time. those kids the ones that i brought from janesville out there, were treated to 3 hours of just great conversation and one of the funniest things for me is that congressman ryan talked with amanda terrell about hunting for 30 minutes deer hunting and amanda talking to her congressman over a rack of ribs at this beautiful place. greta: coming up, he has been the vice-presidential candidate for a short time. but representative ryan has been in congress for 14 years. how will his experience impact the campaign? byron york is here to talk about that, next. and hadt had the makings of a big screen thriller. how did governor mitt romney keep the v.p. decision quiet? how did paul ryan pull off the tough secret mission? we ll take you behind the we ll take you behind the scenes, coming [ male announcer ] at scottrade,
