brings the topic back to the center. instead of bamboozling people, talking about divisive politics and throwing granny off the cliff, now people can make a fair choice, or they can debate. kiersten, i disagree with you. once we debate the issues, we will be on the forefront where you can do this kind of good versus bad, to the have and have-nots. we will talk about policy that will help create a better america. i am not a betting woman, but if i were, my money would go on mitt romney and paul ryan, because they are about solutions and not excuses. jon: i think it will be hard, one that? for democrats to come up with another, you know, paul ryan look-alike throwing granny off a cliff. after they told a story about how they welcomed his own grandmother into their home when she was suffering late like diseases? yes, that advertisement is completely out of balance.
bit of a cottage industry if you will, the hot merchandise at the convention related to paul ryan. jon: hum? jenna: what is it? next. hello, everybody. thank you. okay, team! after age 40, we can start losing muscle
all to pay for new entitlement we didn t even ask for, the greatest threat to medicare is obamacare. we are going to stop it. jenna: that was vice presidential nominee paul ryan speaking at the republican convention last night. congress for attacking the president helped a lot saying that he and governor romney will overturn it. their opponents can consider themselves as they stay unnoticed. senator barrasso is the chairman of the republican policy committee and is also a doctor, which makes them good to talk about these certain things like medicare. nice to have you back on the program. thank you, john. jenna: i to ensure that you have seen some sports injuries in your day. mitt romney is really the roundup hitter, if you will come of this convention. what do you think he needs to do tonight? the first home run he hit was actually when he named paul ryan to be his vice presidential nominee. we saw last night the kind of leadership this country needs to
