In one of his first campaign stops as Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney’s newly minted running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan will headline a rally in Las Vegas Tuesday afternoon.
Ryan is scheduled to speak just before 5 p.m. at Palo Verde High School in Las Vegas. Doors open to the public at 2 p.m.
Ryan will also use his time in Las Vegas to gather with donors at the Venetian Resort, owned by the Republican Party’s most important money man this cycle, Sheldon Adelson.
The Romney campaign announced on Saturday that Ryan would join the ticket. Since then he’s stumped in his home state of Wisconsin and in Iowa.
Ryan has been a hero in conservative circles for his far-reaching budget proposal that would cut trillions in federal spending over the next decade. That same proposal has made him a favorite punching bag for Democrats who accuse Ryan of seeking to “end Medicare.”
His plan would have replaced Medicare for those younger than 55 with a voucher-like system of helping recipients pay for private insurance coverage.
RyAYN could care less about some "rally". He's here to worship at the throne of the almighty Adelson. Could 100 million in pledged campaign funding for the Romney ticket have anything to do with it? LOL.
@ressince73,
Is correct. Ryan is only here to meet with Adelson and to find out what Adelson expects and his wants. Many People on the extreme right will not believe this reality. Then again, many should know this because of Adelson's commitment to fund the Republican campaign by donating millions of dollars from his personal wealth. Adelson is buying the Republican Presidential Campaign.
Re Longtimevegan. Exactly. Adelson was in Israel at the head of the table during Mitten's visit to that country. While the Koch bros. stay in the shadows, Sheldon is right up front with his money and his agenda. Note: if you're 18 or older, and Mittens wins this election, be ready for a DRAFT NOTICE, as we go to war with Iran.
I wonder if Occupy (OLV1) be there?
I thought Ryan was a puppet for the Koch brothers.
Is he going to bring his insurance lobbyist wife with him? I would like to see what a real lobbyist looks like in person.

Harry Reid should be in attendance. He may get the opportunity to see someone with ethics. I see
by today's news reports that our President and Vice President have verbally assented to the fact that Romney and Ryan and GOOD people. Maybe they both will endorse the Republican ticket and bow out of the race.
Possibly Harry Reid will resign his office. OK I'm dreaming a good dream but I'm not on drugs or alcohol.
@Daydreamer
Sorry, they don't have a chance. The Ryan pick sunk Mitts battleship.
Find an electable candidate and the republicans stand a chance.
Obama said today that he disagree with the Romney Ryan vision which is
Retore job growth
Restore GDP growthReform taxes
Medicare reform
Social Security reform
Balanced budget
Why does Obama reject this vision of America
Paul Ryan will be great for the Republican ticket. He calls the shots as he sees them. He is far more ethical than the hack Chicago politician in the White House. We need leadership and someone to get the economy moving. Jobs are everything. Obama has never ever apologized to the citizens of Las Vegas for his comments about our city. Who needs that. We lost thousands of dollars in convention business because of Obama. I will never forget that.
Do us all a favor and go back to the land of the cheese heads. Nothing against the Green Bay Packers....
Well the looonies will be out in Summerlin tomorrow to watch Ryan worship Adelson and give the TEA Party sloths the speach they want to hear. There are not enough stupid Americans to vote for this rich boy who never held a job in his life and his tax dodger and war dodger bromance sloth Mitt.
Eat your heart out Romney and Ryan critics. U can't take an honorable and honest team. Too bad the biggest sleaze couldn't be there . He is buying cheap land and reselling at a huge profit. BTW where is BO school records?. No one fr the time he spent at Columbia ever met or heard of him.
Yelp, you losers keep thinking Obama is your fearless leader. Stay the course and not only will Nevada be sucking wind but 49 others as well. Just think you won't be able to cash your welfare check cause that baby will bounce higher than the Stratosphere.
How honest and honorable can one be schmoozing with the likes of Sheldon Adelson?
I do so enjoy the bashing of Reid for doing what Republicans do all the time. Jealousy? Hypocrisy maybe? or is it simple programming by the Fox Propaganda Network?
BTW we had 8 yrs of Bush and he didn't so squat about your Welfare Queens. The same bunch Obama has now inherited. Nice going Bush!
The head teabagger and kill Medicare guy will be
here to try and brain-wash poor Nevadans.
IT WON'T WORK.
WE'RE NOT STUPID.
Paul Ryan, AKA little Eddie Munster, doesn't
have a clue what low income Americans need.
The Ryan plan stinks to high Heaven.
More tax cuts for the rich and the shaft for
hard working Americans.
THE BUSH PLAN ON STEROIDS.
The Romney/Ryan plan will destroy whats left of
the middle class.
Romney still won't show his taxes and now Ryan
said he will only show 2 years worth.
What are Romney and Ryan hiding???
YOU CAN NEVER TRUST SNEAKY REPUBLICANS!
FOUR MORE YEARS FOE PRESIDENT OBAMA!
"Adelson is buying the Republican Presidential campaign." OMG, do you want some cheese with that whine?
Meanwhile, Barack Obama has been bought-and-paid for by George Soros (MoveOn.org), labor unions (particularly, the S.E.I.U.), environmentalists, DC lobbyists, foul-mouthed "comedian" Bill Maher ($1M), Hollywood PINHEADS and Wall Street, that contributed more money to BHO's 2008 presidential campaign than to the GOP.
Sorry, I couldn't post a longer list of deep-pocket Barack Obama contributors but I won't live that long. LOL...
Ryan is the main cause that the budget deal reach last year between President Obama and Representative Boehner was rejected in the House of Representatives which was the main cause of down grading America's credit rating. Ryan objected to the plan because it included eliminating the Bush tax cuts for the rich. Ryan is one of the leaders of the tea party in Congress who has used his leadership to derail the budget plan negotiated by Obama and Boehner and was the leader in the House if organizing the whole Republican Party to oppose any government help to fuel the economic growth that our country so badly needed. Ryan has been an obstructionist in Congress as he used his extortionist style of governing to get what he wanted in Congress. The Ryan budget plan now becomes the blue print for Romney economic plan which is to extend the Bush tax cuts for the rich as well as cut other taxes for the rich, unnecessarily increase the military budget, cut or gut as many regulations and environmental laws as possible, give the rich freedom to again to what they want to us consumers, threaten many of the rights we Americans have obtained over the years like the right to get an abortion and make life more difficult for the middle and lower class people of America. We can't entrust our economy to Romney and Ryan with their voodoonomics style of governing. We can't trust Romney and Ryan to solve our environmental problems. Romney and Ryan will only make our environmental problems worse. We need someone like President Obama in office who will do all he can to solve our environmental problems, our economic problems, our equality problems, our social problems and the world's problems. Our country and our troops needs a president who can bring peace to the world not a warmonger like Romney who will get us into a war with Iran & who knows who else. President Obama's policies is pulling America out of a serious Republican caused Recession that was on the verge of a Depression. President Obama's policies has crippled Al Qaeda and killed numerous Al Qaeda leaders including Bin Laden. President Obama's policies has saved America's auto industry & America's economy. President policies has averted a war with Iran, gotten rid of Gadaffi, gotten us out of Iraq, stabilized Afghanistan, Africa & guided the Middle East through one revolution after another without the use of American troops. President Obama has earned the respect of the Arab world and has kept the violence between the Israelis & Palestinians down.
Now the choice is clear! Either you want to preserve Medicare as we know it, or discard Medicare under the Ryan plan? Either eliminate the "Donut Hole" for seniors, or continue to pay higher prescription drug prices under the Ryan plan? In addition, Ryan is proposing to cut taxes for the upper income group without saying how the tax cut will be paid for! Normally a tax cut for upper income levels is paid by people making less than $40,000 per year. There is nothing in the Ryan plan to help the middle class. There is nothing in the Romney plan to help the middle class. The choice is clear! If you want higher taxes for the middle class vote for Governor Romney and Rep. Ryan. If you want seniors to paid more for health care and prescription drugs, vote or Governor Romney and Rep. Ryan. The choice is clear!
Governor Romney firmly supports the Ryan plan. The question now for voters, do you support Governor Romney and Rep. Ryan?
This election is the most clear election choice in the past 30 years.
"How honest and honorable can one be schmoozing with the likes of Sheldon Adelson?"

There it is....
Why why why do Democrats lie
They lie about killing gandma
----
The latest Obama-Biden campaign ads show grandma being MURDERED. What is the lie behind this Obama campaign ad.
- Fact is that Medicare goes broke in in the next decade.
- Obama has NO Plan to fix Medicare. None. No vision while the program is going broke
- As part of Obamacare Obama robbed the Medicare program of $716 billion to subsidies the people who refuse to buy insurance.
- That robbed money mean that instead of covering 80% of your Medical bill - Medicare will only pay at most 70%. For most seniors this means that your Medigap policy or AARP Supplement Plan cost more.
In the 1990s Bill Clinton and Democrats came up with a bipartisan "Premium Support" program. This is similar today as the Medicare AARP Advantage Plan And the plan that congressmen use.
The bipartisan Paul Ryan(R)-Ron Wyden(D) plan will only be an choice option available to people under 55 and does not change anything seniors have today and allows those under 55 to choose the current program
----
Obama has no ethics or shame.
The choice is absolutely clear:
Ryan "Hi Mom"
Biden Let us be perfectly clear, when it is obvious and all the options are on the table we can plainly see that the plan put forward, in effect would do what plans do or would not do what plans do, depending on the political persuasion of the person proposing the plan and in regards to other considerations which going forward are in the best interest of everyone or are not in the best interest of everyone as can be readily demonstrated by....
(paraphrasing, not intended to be exact quote..just a general idea)
Von Ryan should get his master Adelson to pay more taxes for all the Wars and militarism they get off on.
futere(ll)...
Your boundless energies for a future past of Bush-era policies on steroids ain't playin' in Peoria, pal.
In the infamous words of the aforementioned train-wreck of a President;
"Fool me once, shame on you...fool me twice...well, won't git fooled agin!"
p.s...
I see 'Big Chris' is giving the keynote speech @ the R convention...
While Gov' Christie is nobody's fool, he is a mean-spirited, socially inept oaf prone to calling people names like 'idiot & stupid'...
He'll tell us 'common folk' that we need to take our medicine 'for the good of the country', and to get ready for MASSIVE CUTS to programs that are considered 'extraordinarily expendable' by the folks in the upper echelons of the well-heeled, who are in line for (unbelievably) A LARGE TAX CUT under a Rmoney/Ryan admin.
During the 2008 election cycle dopey Obama constituents quit paying their mortgage, auto and credit card payments, waiting for that promised government cheese like Wall Street and Detroit received don't ya know.
Welcome pending Vice President Ryan ! At least we don't need to worry about you comming here to bad mouth our city !!
