Ryan, Jr.''' (born January 29, 1970) is a Congressman and the [[Republican]] nominee for [[Vice President]] in the [[Presidential Election 2012]], as selected by [[Mitt Romney]] on August 11. His voting record is solidly [[pro-life]] as a 7-term U.S. Representative for [[Wisconsin]]'s 1st Congressional District. He is the chairman of the House Budget Committee. − − In the only vice presidential debate, Paul Ryan defeated [[liberal]] [[Joe Biden]] by a 48-44% margin, according to a [[CNN]] poll. − − Ryan publicly endorsed Romney in March 2012, while the more [[conservative]] candidates of [[Rick Santorum]] and [[Newt Gingrich]] were still in the race, and even "asked Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich to bow out."<ref>http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/mitt-romney-scores-key-republican-endorsement-rep-paul-ryan-article-1.1053376?localLinksEnabled=false</ref> − − Ryan is an "Inside the Beltway" type - he began as a congressional staffer and has never held a serious job in the private sector. While he has indicated support for reducing government, some of the specifics in his economic proposals have not been particularly [[conservative]] or helpful politically to the [[Republican Party]]. His selection as the Republican [[Vice President 2012]] will focus national attention on his economic ideas, steering media attention away from social issues. − − Some have criticized Ryan as being a "big spending conservative." − − ==External links== − *[http://www.house.gov/ryan/ Official Site] − *[http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/277244/rule-law-paul-ryan Speech by Paul Ryan at Hillsdale College] − *[http://ontheissues.org/House/Paul_Ryan.htm Ryan on the Issues] − *[http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/13/politics/ryan-issues/index.html CNN: Ryan's conservative stance extends beyond fiscal policy] − *[http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/08/16/Democrats-Plan-A-Ryan-Too-Conservative-Plan-B-Not-Conservative-Enough Democrats unsure whether to exaggerate Ryan's conservatism or to downplay it] − − ==References== − {{reflist|2}} − − {{DEFAULTSORT:Ryan, Paul}} − [[Category:United States Representatives]] − [[Category:The 100 Americans The Left Hates Most]] − [[Category:Wisconsin]] − [[Category:Republican Party]] − [[Category:Rino backers]]
