Dear fellow tax hikers, we are dismayed that Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney has chosen conservative Paul Ryan to be his Vice President. We believe Romney should have selected a big government, tax-and-spend Republican. How is the Romney ticket supposed to compete with the Obama/Biden record of runaway spending, record deficits, and big tax increases when he just selected a conservative who wants to cut spending and get closer to a balanced budget?
Prior to today, Ryan was best-known for authoring his fiscal blueprint Path to Prosperity which would, "fundamentally alter the social safety net, repeal President Obama's
health care law, cut billions in spending and overhaul the federal tax
code in order to reduce - but not eliminate - the federal deficit over
the next 10 years." The Wall Street Journal provides a more detailed analysis.
Ryan's plan would reduce spending, reduce the deficit, lower taxes, and eliminate Obamacare. That is precisely the wrong approach. We at Republicans for Higher Taxes want to increase spending, increase taxes, and keep Obamacare! Our Messiah Barack Obama has done a fantastic job in these areas.
While we appreciate Romney's desire to select some with ties to Southwest Ohio, if he wanted to pick someone from our area he should have selected Blue Ash City Councilman Rick Bryan. Rick won our 2011 Tax Hiker of the Year award due to his dedication to raising taxes and growing government. And just two days ago he voted to help fund Cincinnati's streetcar. In addition, Tax Hikin' Rick Bryan knows everything about everything, except how to get elected to something higher than a Blue Ash Ward Councilman.
We are disappointed in Paul Ryan's selection. Mitt Romney lost whatever slim chance he had of earning our support. To us, higher taxes, higher spending, and getting more people on welfare has to outrank party loyalty. Had Romney selected someone as great as Tax Hikin' Rick Bryan, he might have stood a chance to beat The Messiah.

This is bad news for us. With Rob Portman not on the ticket, he'll be in town more and we'll be expected to do some events with him and some actual work might have to take place on my part. The Kitten isn't going to like this one bit. MEOW!
I am going to act like this is a good pick but really I am bitter that Mitt didn't pick a champion tax-hiker like my daddy the mayor of Springdale and a champion tax-hiker.
OMG! Could you imagine all the cocktail parties and cocktail dresses I would have bought if Rob was the candidate!!! Now I have to spend the next three months slumming around here trying to avoid all those smelly, inbred west siders. Can you believe the Romney Morons who actually opened an office in Colerain! Ugh! As if!
Days like today sure bring back the memories of the Kerry-Edwards campaign. Make it emphatic, vote straight Democratic!! Er, I mean, vote Republican. That's the ticket. No matter. With our empty victory centers and our interrogator workers in those, I am still working hard to ensure Democratic victory in November.
Why couldn't he pick me, a woman?

I AM UP WAY TOO EARLY ON A SUNDAY MORNING FOR THIS. MITT ROMNEY MADE A GREAT PICK FOR VICE-PRESIDENT. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO GO ON A DIET BECAUSE ENTITLMENT SPENDING IS OUT OF CONTROL.
WE MUST ACT NOW TO REFORM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. MEDICARE WILL GO BANKRUPT SOON IF WE DON'T. I WILL BE ON MEDICARE SOON. SEE?
Man, one incident in a park, and there goes one's chance to be vice-president http://www.courtclerk.org/case_summary.asp?casenumber=/06/CRB/22378
sic transit gloria mundi
It's a MENSA thing.
You know, the Greeks invented debt.
Thank you for your kind words! If only everyone else realized how great I am I could be something bigger than a mere Ward Councilman from Blue Ash! Until then I will keep raising taxes and spending wildly here in Blue Ash!!!!!
So many great candidates we've given to that he could have chosen. We'll pretend to applaud this pick just like we pretend to applaud the doofus who beat us for state rep.
If Mitt Romney wanted to show how moderate and reasonable he should have selected my good friend David Pepper. Or he could have chosen a woman. There isn't much difference.
Mitt Romney should have chosen Jon Husted, the greatest public servant in the history of Ohio.
Hey, if my boyfriend Tommy passes out enough Steve Chabot cups, does that mean he will endorse our candidate over Heather Harlow next time?
It has been so freaking AWESOME to watch both Republicans AND Tea Partiers criticize this pick, argue on Facebook, and vow to sit this one out. While you guys debate ideological purity and while party leaders write off the two largest swing states of Ohio and Florida, we will keep organizing and mobilizing for the smashing re-election that 24 of the last 25 nationally respected pollsters have forecast. You guys can keep arguing with each other and tilt at windmills over the Affordable Care Act or whatever while a Democratic President works with a Democratic Congress to continue rebuilding our country from the wholesale destruction of the Bush years. Enjoy your irrelevancy as your worldview based on bigotry and greed, justified by warping Christianity beyond recognition, fades from popularity.
You have no idea how pleased we were to see this extremist nutjob who wants to destroy social security and Medicare be the nominee.
Seriously, Democratic campaign headquarters and Obama for America victory centers sprang alive yesterday. We did everything but pop champagne corks.
The Republicans just cost themselves what slim chance they had of winning the election.
FOUR MORE YEARS!!
Did somebody say champagne? I'll drink to that!
I'm sure glad the Enquirer gave me some free press with all those rinos and my token tea party friend. People really think that a bunch of us plopped down at Price Hill Chili really are the Republican party. I wonder how long I can keep up this charade?
He should have picked my good friend Lynn Larson. A Mormon and Lynn on the same ticket, that would have produced some balance in the sauce department. Five days 'til the next swim meet!
Romney should have chosen Jean Schmidt. She's not doing much this fall.
Just think how much money Tammy Braun Adelhart could have made designing a "Mitt-Schmidt" logo!!!
Since the national media says we are a bunch of racist greedy homophobes, and all our friends outside politics say the same thing, and now Romney just lost Ohio with this pick, we don't really have to do any more work anymore, right Alex?
What do you guys mean "anymore?" There's no work in managing a campaign. If anything needs to be done, you give it to an intern or you have Alex find someone to do it for you. That's what Kels and I do. Keep coming out, fellas, as long as you can find someone else to pick up the tab. That's what it's all about.
Democrats are lying through their teeth about Republicans on a daily basis, with help from their loyal and willing accomplices in the national media. Republican political campaigns don't have the courage to even try to tell the truth about the Democrats. The only thing the RNC and the ORP do at campaign time is call my house daily with their hands out. This is why we've only barely won two of the last five presidential elections.
Just think of how many votes I could have brought the ticket with my support for higher taxes and for all those Democrats I've supported too. I am sure they would all vote for me if I was on the Republican ticket, right, Todd?
We can't wait until Wednesday when we can invade another Paul Ryan event and beat up some tea-bangers. So nice of our union brethren police officers to look the other way and arrest the 70-year-old ladies who obviously get black eyes and broken bones every time they try tmeat tack 30-year-old pipe fitters.
I like this Paul Ryan guy. When he shows up around here, it's like an instant party. The best part is that the state and local parties and the Romney-Ryan campaign does all the work, but they give us VIP passes so we can just slide on in past the local yokels who have to queue up hours in advance. I tell ya, campaign jobs are the best. It's just like working for the county only there's even less work and a whole lot more fun.
