In selecting right wing member of Congress Paul Ryan as his Vice President Mitt Romney has summed up the difference between his campaign and that of President Obama. The President seeks an economy and country based on fairness for the middle class and economic growth for the middle class. Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan seek more tax cuts for millionaires to privatize social security and hand it over to Wall Street hedge funds, end medicare, end medicaid, end any assistance to the poor. It is a stark stark choice Americans have to make.

There is no muddling middle ground here. Either there is a country that provides hope and opportunity to the middle class and one that will engulf the country to one that the rich concentrate their wealth even more than they have since the birth of trickle down economics (tax cuts for the rich and wealth will trickle to the rest of the masses).

Make no mistake Paul Ryan's positions are extreme. He is a Washington Insider whose only real jobs have been working on Capital Hill. He was elected to Congress at 28. Paul Ryan has no real expereince as to the policies he proposes would affect real people. People in Florida and Nevada and Arizona living on social security and relying on medicare.

Further and perhaps just as troubling Ryan would be one heartbeat from the Presidency and has zero foreign policy experience. None. In a world where the middle east is changing China growing and Russia stirring Ryan brings nothing to the table.

In the end the Republican ticket consists of the near-billionaire Mitt Romney who is alleged to have not payed taxes or may have had hid income in a swiss bank account until the IRS allowed amnesty. A man who has accounts in the Cayman Islands. And a man who actually has no idea of how his cruel policies would affect Americans. They are not America's come back team. They are team aloof.
