KSNV reports that Republican Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan addressed a crowd of supporters at Palo Verde High School, Aug. 14.
Sun coverage
Like fireworks waiting for their fuse to be lit, an estimated 2,000 people braved sweltering heat and long security lines Tuesday afternoon with giddy enthusiasm to get their first glimpse of Rep. Paul Ryan in his new role as running mate for presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
Ryan was not scheduled to speak until just before 5 p.m., but the gymnasium at Palo Verde High School was nearly full by 3 p.m., and the crowd’s excited anticipation only grew as the Palo Verde band pumped them up with drum-heavy tunes.
When Ryan did take the stage, the crowd erupted. Several times during the seven-term congressman’s 20-minute speech, the crowd boomed with applause, rattling the rafters.
“This election is going to fly by in the next 80 or so days,” said Ryan, wearing khaki pants and a collared blue-and-white checkered shirt. “But what you are going to see and what we are now seeing from the president is nothing more than division and demagoguery. We are going to offer optimism and opportunity. We have a president who, like a lot of people, is more worried about their next election than they are the next generation.”
Ryan, who represents a district of about 700,000 in Wisconsin’s southeast corner, is chairman of the House Budget Committee and, among other things, is known for his budget proposal and fiscal plan dubbed “The Path to Prosperity.”
“All of these government programs, all of these endless bailouts by the president, all of these regulations, they are not putting people back to work,” said Ryan, who has been a consistent voice for limiting government spending and entitlement reform but also voted for the troubled asset relief program (TARP), assistance for U.S. auto companies, expansion of Medicare under George W. Bush, and the 2008 and 2009 stimulus packages. “They are not helping Nevada’s recovery and they are not getting Nevada’s economy back on track, and we need to change that.”
Standing on a large stage with a backdrop of the Nevada and U.S. flags and several rows of supporters, Ryan pointed to Romney’s business experience as a key asset for the ticket.
“We have a candidate in Mitt Romney who knows how businesses are created, how jobs are created,” Ryan said. “We have a man with firsthand experience who knows that if you have a small business, you did build that small business.”
The line, referring to a speech by President Barack Obama during which he expressed that the integrated nature of society means that everyone receives assistance during their lives, received some of the most vociferous applause of the day.
“If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help,” Obama said during a July campaign stop in Virginia. “There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet. The point is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative but also because we do things together.”
After Ryan wrapped up his speech, he shook hands with those onstage and then went into the crowd to greet more supporters.
The crowd filtered out and snapped pictures in front of the Romney-Ryan tour bus.
Darlene Aurich, a Romney supporter and Las Vegas resident, said she “loved” the former Massachusetts governor’s choice for vice president.
“He has a lot of good ideas,” she said of Ryan. “Romney could have chosen from a lot of good candidates for vice president, but I think he chose one of the best.”
Rep. Shelley Berkley, who is in a race for a U.S. Senate seat with Sen. Dean Heller, stopped at Palo Verde High School hours before Ryan’s visit to offer her perspective on what a Romney-Ryan ticket meant for the country and the Silver State.
Berkley argued that the budget-reduction target Romney and Ryan have placed on public aid programs such as Social Security and Medicare would devastate seniors and middle- and low-income families.
Berkley also criticized Ryan’s stance on the issue of reproductive rights, limiting abortion and the use of contraception, and his vote against the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act that extends the statute of limitations on fair pay lawsuits.
“This election is going to be a watershed for this country of what our priorities are,” Berkley said. “Who do you stand with? Where does Paul Ryan stand? With corporations that ship jobs overseas and with big oil companies making record profits. He wants to increase and continue the tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires in this country. I stand with the middle-income families, people who call Nevada home. … Paul Ryan’s priorities are not mine because they are not the priorities of the people I represent.”
After the event, Ryan was scheduled to have a private meeting with Las Vegas Sands CEO Sheldon Adelson, who, along with his wife, has given $10 million to Restore Our Future, a political action committee that supports Mitt Romney.
POTUS looks bemused that someone could be as ignorant as Ryan.
Yes, yes...visit the billionaire for a check. Yeeesh, politics is so corrupt. Both sides. There is no need to "meet with Sheldon" unless you just want money.
Let's face facts. Adelson's main agenda is Israel. Everything else is a distant second, if there is a second.
"All of these government programs, all of these endless bailouts by the president, all of these regulations, they are not putting people back to work," said Ryan, who has been a consistent voice for limiting government spending and entitlement reform but also voted for the troubled asset relief program (TARP), assistance for U.S. auto companies, expansion of Medicare under George W. Bush, and the 2008 and 2009 stimulus packages. "
The GOP mantra: Do as I say, not as I do!
Paul Ryan personally voted to add trillions to the national debt, and yet the GOP treat him as if he's some sort of deficit hawk? What a sham!
The reckless Bush tax cuts? Ryan financed them with debt.
The war in Afghanistan? Ryan financed it with more debt.
The war in Iraq. Ryan financed it with even more debt!
The trillion-dollar Medicare Part D expansion? 100% debt!
He voted for debt-financed bailouts, and for the debt-financed TARP, and now criticize them? What a phony!
Now he wants to replace Medicare with CouponCare to pay for his recklessness in seven terms of Congress? The American people aren't buying it.
Paul Ryan has ZERO credibility when it comes to the deficit and the debt. Yet his fan club fawns over the rhetoric while ignoring his record.
Typical republicans... prop up a phony sham in place of a serious candidate. Paul Ryan is Sarah Palin without the lipstick.
"[Paul Ryan] is not the guy you pick to win Florida. This is the guy you pick to win Fox and Friends."

Not a President Mittens. Please no.
Right on Mr.K Sandoval. This puff piece also left out that R&R will tell us "in the light of day", what they will do with the tax code, right after the election. I remember Nixon's "secret plan" to end Viet Nam, and am not buying. Secret plans, trust me I paid a lot of taxes, sorry but I have to go with "trust but verify" other wise I have to conclude "You Lie".
Please allow me to introduce myself

But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Kevin you are talking about stupid people sir. Logic plays no part in their giddiness. These are simpletons who basically hate Obama cause he is Black. 50% Black but black is black. Which in their World means he supports welfare and giving guns to Willy Horton.
Ryan voted for the IRAQ WAR!
Ryan voted for the bush tax cuts.
Ryan will kill Medicare!
Ryan will kill Obamacare and replace it with
NOTHING.
SEND THIS FOOL PACKING.
Romney/Rayn already run on a platform of total
FAILURE.
They want more tax cuts for their mega-rich
friends and themselves.
REPUBLICANS DESTROYED OUR ECONOMY!
DID THEY THINK THAT WE FORGOT??
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012!

If Vulture and Voucher get in, after the first term we'll have to look up to see Greece.
Ryan/Romney wanna replace Veterans(VA) health care with a voucher system like they wanna do Medicare?
I m voting Democrat this year.
On Medicare, the idea is more choices, more freedom. How soon they forget when we turned defined pensions into 401k's with a system of more choices, more freedom. Many saw their portfolios and their retirement accounts plummet.
Are these guys dumb? Most seniors will most likely tell you they don't want to be burdened by having to make these decisions. They want it left alone.
We've also been hearing the Medicare scare of insolvency since 1970.
Ryan is stepping into the role as sidekick, think Batman and Robin. People vote for the presidential candidate usually, not the vice president. Ryan's views are sure to breed controversy, but will they help Romney or hinder him? Looking back, people often are unable to even recall the name of who was a vice president or candidate for the office.
If Mr Romney and Mr Ryan win this election, bombs will be dropping on Iran before the last inaugural ball is over. A repayment of a debt that has nothing to do with our national debt.
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.
Longtime...
Yup!
Good post.
"This election is the most clear election choice in the past 30 years."
Thurston Howell & his 'little buddy' Gilligan, his new 'errand boy', have a snowballs chance...
Doubling down on the formula that sank the world into economic chaos...and rewarding those that brought it on?
not exactly what Americans see as a 'viable' option.
The gulf between these 2 candidates couldn't possibly be any more stark.
Ryan is smiling because he gets to debate the plagerist Biden. Not exactly the most polished rock in the Dim box.
The main reason why Ryan came to Las Vegas was because of Adelson. All the rest of this stuff was a sideshow. A smokescreen.
Ryan was named as Romney's Presidential pick, er, wait, um, Vice Presidential pick last Saturday.
Here it is three and half days later, and Ryan already magically shows up in Las Vegas on the doorstep of the Venetian with a fresh pair of kneepads bright eyed and bushy tailed, ready for a suck up meeting with Mr. Deep Pockets (Adelson).
I don't care what he said at Palo Verdes. The substance of his speech was hollow. He came to Las Vegas for money, money, money, moh money, moh money, moh money, but masquerades himself as the savior of America.
I see past the facade. He is a one percenter. He wants to represent them in politics. His whole past history in politics shows a tendency to cater to them ONLY. The rest of us can gargle on snot for all he cares.
Ryan is not going to be elected by the people.
He wants to BUY the people.
Don't get fooled.
Obama/Biden 2012!
You libs are truly at the tipping point of a mental breakdown because they can't get their heads around Ryan. All they can spew if fear.
TomD, Why can't seniors make simple decisions?? You keep selling them short in your pursuit of "justice" for a perceived wrong. You keep prattling on about being "sold out" and "broken promises", but I am still not buying into your attitude of "they owe me". Nobody owes you anything. Buck up man. SS is still there and so is medicare BUT every reasonable human who isn't looking for a freebie knows they have to be reformed. THEY ARE UNSUSTAINABLE. Keep voting for Obama though.....I am sure he has YOUR interests at heart, he's a smoker, and we know how much you like smokers. LOL
Colin, "Don't get fooled. Obama/Biden 2012!" that is the ultimate oxymoron!
The bailout of GM is dragging America down with it. Money is being squandered at every turn. They should have been restructured not "bailed out".
The new slogan for these goons is "GM is on life support just like Obama's tenure.
Remember during the Republican debates,Romney was condeming "Washington Insiders "? Now he picks Ryan who has never been anything else in his life !
crackedbeak says: "Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game"
Thanks for the early morning laugh. When I saw the first words of the headline to this article, I also automatically thought of the classic rock song "Sympathy For The Devil" by the Rolling Stones off of the "Beggars Banquet" album.
Heretic: Thanks for twisting my words around. I don't see any meaningful discussion about the issues, just word salad games on your part. You're just doing like the Romney campaign has done now FIVE times: Twist words around and edit them heavily so they mean something else. Good luck with that last desperate attempt at trying to get Vulture/Voucher elected.
Obama/Biden 2012!
Romney/Ryan 1040s!
@Heretic
Your man doesn't have a chance. Plus, when did I say I was "owed something"?
As I said, this more choices, more freedom crap is what sunk baby boomers 401k's. Now you want to do the same with Medicare. They will never go for the voucher plan. You don't have a chance in hell of getting Romney elected. I'll bet my house.
GM would have never been restructured. It would have been sold off in pieces. Nobody in the private sector was willing to cut them the money needed to restructure. You Monday morning quarterbacks are unreal.
He's also going to lose the women vote with a VP with pretty extreme abortion views. Forcing a woman to carry a child thru rape and incest isn't going to go over well.
Where is the Obama/Biden/reid budgets for last three years? Biden had one at the last jobs council meeting (Sept 2011) but it turns out it was Ryans.
Now that Rep. Ryan is no the national stage, we see from searching his past this guy is not a fiscal conservative. Rep. Ryan is actually a moderate based on his past voting record in the House. There are so many negatives on Rep. Ryan being the Republican Vice Presidential nominee.
Ryan:
Voted to increase spending during the Bush years.
Voted for the War.
Voted for TARP.
Voted to and author the bill to remove over 710 billion from Medicare. He charges the President with doing the same, except Ryan's plan gives the billions to upper income group as a tax cut. The President send the billions back into system through the Affordable Care Act.
Ryan sent the President a letter asking for Stimulus money for people in his district, but Ryan voted against the stimulus.
Ryan is a huge fan of Ayn Rand. His entire career is based on Rand's model of America.
Ryan has not experience in Foreign or International relations.
Ryan has not military background.
Ryan' family business receives over 80% income from Federal and State contacts.
Ryan has use Social Security death benefits, but he not wants to gut the program.
Other Republicans are running away from Ryan's budget.
Many people do not want this guy a heart beat away from the oval office, or even Mitt Romney.
The choice for the elect is crystal clear. If this Republican team takes control of the country we can expect higher taxes, another war, increase unemployment, higher prescription drug cost for seniors, elimination of the Medicare and reduction of Medicaid as we know it. And this just what we do know.
Like many independent voters, the choice is clear, this is not for America. As an independent voter, my vote is valuable and I will not waste, nor help take our country down the path of another 8-years like we have experienced from 2000 to 2008.
TomD, Ryan isn't my man, but neither is Obama. I just can't stand the vitriol dished out without any substantiation.
As far as "owes" goes, you have lately been harping on people who have been done in and now they are going to make sure they get theirs. I know I am paraphrasing but you have repeated it enough that it is how you feel. So, what you are saying is that since they were asleep at the wheel and allowed bad things to happen to them they are now going to vote for Obama because he is driving the no-thinking freebie train.
Sad state of America right there. I hope you got a good seat on the Obama train so you can see the cliff in time to jump off.
Worst pick Romney could've made! Turn Medicare into a voucher system? Good Luck convincing seniors about that! LOL
The only thing I've been driving at are those who have suffered catastrophic increases in their health insurance or simply cannot buy it thru the bogus pre-existing denial which includes people who have been free and clear of cancer for 9 years. 9 years clear and labeled pre-existing? At least Obama has set out to fix that injustice. Romney has said he will "leave it alone". I don't see how someone who recovered from, say lymphoma "fell asleep at the wheel" when he's been denied healthcare coverage while being free and clear for 9 plus years. If that's your thinking, nuff said.
The freebie train garbage is just another mindless gimmick of the right. What freebies has Obama instituted that weren't already there under Bush? Extending unemployment benefits was started under Bush.
As you stated people aren't stupid. Why then did they vote in the most liberal president we've seen since FDR? As I stated many times, the republicans better start understanding why the tide is turning. Why people are looking for help when in the past they helped themselves. You increase someone's insurance premium 40%, they will look for an advocate. You have 60 qualified individuals vying for 1 open position, the other 59 will soon realize the deck is stacked against them. They will look for help. It's human nature when things become overwhelming with no solutions...they will look for an advocate. The majority will see Obama as their advocate. Not Romney.
I see the usual anti-intellectual rants are coming from both sides.
So it comes down to if we want four more years of Harry Reid as President or a bona fide nutcase, right?
I think I'll go puke.
There's really no good choice. It's who is less worse. If you look at it from a point of view that McCain isn't that much different than Romney...look what happened in that election. As I stated, I'll be dumbfounded if Romney wins. He stood little chance to begin with but he has now complicated it with a cut and slash guy who is on the far right in reproductive rights (don't dismiss women voters). Plus for all Ryan's fiscal responsibility he supported for TARP, supported going to war, supported the auto bailouts.
As far as the voucher goes...I think people are going to look at like they do health insurance in general in the private sector. Enormous rate increases with dwindling coverage. It used to be things were done better by the private sector. The problem now is the heads in the private sector have become so damn greedy with profits and pay packages and returning shareholder value that it's tipped the tables.
Ryan..they guy who got Social Security money provided to him after his dad died, which he saved to go to college, now wants to end Social Security for others. What a hypocrite! Talk about a gutless teat sucker!
Mark - BUSH grew the Federal Government Far more than ANY Democrat Ever did. Bush went from a Surplus to a Deficit. The Wars but especially the Bush Billionaire Tax Cuts are driving the National Debt Over the Cliff. With Bush we were Losing 900 Thousand Jobs a Month. And Now Romney wants to Go Backwards to Bush Policies and put those on Steroids. He will use Seniors, Students AND the Working Class to Pay for them.
They want to eliminate ALL Capital gains Taxes - so Romney and his Hundred Millionaire + Crowd will pay less than 1%(without disclosing what they paid in the past). They want to call a Fertilized egg a Person, which could even threaten women who had a miscarriage with Jail or if they were impregnated by Rape or Incest.
Throw each and Every Republican Out of Office. Ayn Rand - Paul Ryan's Hero was a Communist, Atheist Writer who told people to be Selfish and Not Help their neighbor. This does sound like Republican "Christian" values.
Obama is a shoe in now. Yea, Romney knows how to create jobs in places like Macao. Von Ryan voted for all the spending, now he says he doesn't like it. Why did you vote for it? A complete hypocrite.
He also got most of his money by inheriting it from the proceeds of his family's construction company who do GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS. He was a loser for the 3 years he worked in the private sector, then became a professional politician and made his money.
Let's see Eddie Munster, you say your against abortion? Yet you get your money from a Macao businessman. Doesn't China have forced abortion??
"PLease allow me to introducse myself...."
"...Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year..."
Coincidence or a look into the future that words from "Sympathy For The Devil" are used in a story about Paul Ryan.
Apologize for the Rolling Stones quotes. Didn't see the other posts!!
No social security or medicare. Just tax breaks for the Romneys. Paul Ryan is awful.
Obamacare takes $700 plus billion dollars from Medicare to pay for the uninsured. Accusing Ryan of stealing from Medicare is ludicrous because Obama and the Democrats have already done it.
3rd party, please. Very tired of extremists on both sides. I don't want your religion and I don't want your freeloaders. Just leave me alone and quit using my taxes for unjust wars and losers that don't want to work.
The real assault on Medicare, comes from President Obama, because the Affordable Care Act calls for $700 billion in cuts to Medicare over the next decade.
He stole $700 billion from Medicare to fund Obamacare. If any person in this entire debate has blood on their hands in regard to Medicare, it's Barack Obama. He's the one that's destroying Medicare.
3 things every voter needs to know about Paul Ryan's Medicare reform plan -- in 100 words
1. No one over the age of 55 would be affected in any way.
2. Traditional Medicare fee-for-service would remain available for all. "Premium support"--that is, government funding of private insurance plans chosen by individuals--is an option for those who choose it. No senior would be forced out of the traditional Medicare program against his will.
3. Overall funding for Medicare under the Ryan-Wyden plan is scheduled to grow at the same rate as under President Obama's proposals. Is this "gutting Medicare" and "ending Medicare as we know it"? In reality, it's the market giving seniors cheaper, higher quality choices they can take if they wish, with the traditional program remaining an option.
Obama = Demonizing, Dividing and Distracting; race card, gender card, class warfare;
Romney/Ryan= Problem Solving, Competence, Leaders!
"3rd party, please. Very tired of extremists on both sides. I don't want your religion and I don't want your freeloaders. Just leave me alone and quit using my taxes for unjust wars and losers that don't want to work."

It's very true. The O'bummer, Marxist, Demosleaze, repig, neo-con, BS really just exposes the character of the poster. Bring the troops home. It's one of the reason why I like Ron Paul...not sure why he's so disliked by the republican party.
Paul Ryan isn't a fiscal conservative.
"Ryan is not a "fiscal conservative." A fiscal conservative pays for the government he wants. Ryan never has. His early "Roadmap for America's Future" didn't balance the budget until the 2060s and added $60 trillion to the national debt. Ryan's revised plan, passed by the House in 2011, wouldn't reach balance until the 2030s while adding $14 trillion in debt. It adds $6 trillion in debt over the next decade alone -- yet Republicans had the chutzpah to say they wouldn't raise the debt limit!"

The GOP remains as gullible as ever.
milt1007, lets tell the truth about the "$700" million that was "cut" by Obama. It is related to Medicare Advantage plans.
Insurers approached the federal Government with a proposal: The insurers could offer "Medical Advantage" plans to consumers that would provide more benefits for less money than Medicare. They proposed that the government allow them to compete with Medicare. This seemed like a no-brainer to our elected officials and it was voted in: Medicare Advantage plans were allowed to compete with Medicare. That was the bait, then came the switch: These insurance company then screwed the Federal Government and raised their rates so their plans were now MORE EXPENSIVE than Medicare and sent the bill to the Federal Government. Obama RIGHTLY called foul, and the Affordable Healthcare Act was used as a vehicle to reign in the CHEATING by the Insurance Companies. THERE HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY NO CHANGE TO MEDICARE BENEFITS. However, the CHEATING INSURANCE COMPANIES are being called on their excessive billing of Medicare Advantage plans to the tune of $700 million! In other words, Obama has stopped theft by the insurance companies, and boy are they pissed. They thought that they could cheat the American Public and Obama and the Democrats are stopping that from happening.
Now, of course, Romney and the Republicans want this cheating to continue since they get plenty of campaign contributions from the insurance companies.
Finally, Ryan's plan, with its $700 million is exactly designed to limit Medicare payouts by the government and WILL lower healthcare benefits. The plan calls for you to get a voucher for health care insurance. This voucher value may, or may not, pay for the private insurance costs, and it is specifically designed to not keep pace with the rapidly inflating price of elderly healthcare costs (note that they are the LEAST insurable of all Americans).
So the result is this: Obama has cut NOTHING from the benefits that Medicare recipients get. Romney and Ryan and the Republicans want to throw elderly people to the wolves that are the insurance companies, and poorer coverage and high out-of-pocket expenses will result.
Note that TEA (Mr. Mark Traeger) is accounting for the majority of the comments above. What is quite ironic about Mr. T, is that he works for a financial organization that represents banking interests (oh yes, my friend, it's called Google - now listen...that sound you hear is a Tea Party buffoon going ape @#$%). What's even more ironic is that his organization lobbied for Federal bailout funds for the banks that it represents. Hmmm. Interesting. BUT, the best part is that the CEO of his company publicly "objects" to Federal guarantees for banks or bailouts. Curious. Simply curious. And let's not forget that his organization also is a major lobbying group which makes sure its members benefit from the Federal Student Loan program and the Small Business Administration. Hmm.
Forgetting his incomprehensible sentences and bad grammar, I think we can safely discount Mr. Traeger's obversations regarding Paul Ryan and Federal financial policy. Glass houses, Mr. T., glass houses...
The Tea Party Motto: I don't need no government so long as I got Social Security, Medicare, Federal bailouts & subsidies and public schools!
RyAYN is a clown, riding in the clown car that is the Romney/RyAYN candidacy. The usual right wing fools comment on this blog espousing how this ticket is the country's saving grace. Blah...Blah...Blah. Nobody on the right takes 5 minutes to actually back up their BS claims. Obama will win in November; get used to it.
Obma still does not campaign on results... still spewing hate, envy and division. Something that he has done his entire life as a ward of the state.
Don't get too excited my Republicans Friends
He just the do nothing VP candidate
Romney is still the guy that running in you party.
You know
The one that wont show his tax forms
The one that killed American jobs
The one that Sent American jobs overseas
The one the says he believes in America but has his money in foreign banks

Vote for a real American Obama not a lair
