"SNIP............................................

Speaking to Fox News’ Carl Cameron Saturday morning, Republican VP nominee Paul Ryan made the case for why he believes his foreign policy credentials are stronger than President Obama’s, emphasizing that he has been a voting member of Congress longer than the president. Ryan cited his votes in favor of the Iraq War as evidence that he has had more foreign policy experience than Obama.

“I’ve been in Congress for a number of years,” he told Cameron. “That’s more experience than Barack Obama had when he came into office.”

“I voted to send people to war,” he added.

1. but I see Ryan has not fought in a war yet?

yet he is prepared to send everyone else?

2. He means "other" people.

6. He means "you people" in Ann Romney-speak. n/t

4. So far he has not struck me as smart and he is supposed to be a policy wonk.

9. R$R are the anus on the forehead of the GOP.

Backing them shows that they all have sh*t for brains.

5. Now, that is the stupidest thing he's said so far.

Is he even plugged in? At this rate, I can't believe he'll make it through the convention, let alone the debates/election.

7. Not something to brag about, pal. And President Obama brought them home and is bringing them home.

Huge difference.

Romney's experience is having his sons "serve their country" (in his words) by traveling around campaigning for him.

8. Well, alrighty then. Let's see...

I voted for a President - many times. I guess that gives me Presidential experience. That does it. With all that experience, I hereby declare myself a candidate for President in 2016. Can I count on your vote?
