Here are a few other facts you left out about Paul Ryan. He is a practicing Catholic who loves and adores his wife and three children. Clinton economic adviser Erskine Bowles admitted that Paul Ryan was the smartest man he ever met, and knows the economy inside and out. He is a health nut, who leads both Republican and Democratic congressman in workouts every morning, and he only has a 6% body fat. Since he joined the Republican ticket two days ago, the focus has been on issues affecting our nation, instead of how many tax returns are publicly reported. He has a higher favorability rating, than either Obama, Biden, or Romney. He comes from a Democratic district, that voted for him by a 70% margin. He is in short, exactly what our country needs, in these horrible economic times.

His 6% body fat and healthy life-style don't make up for scrutinizing something he should have no say in- a woman's body. He cannot make a judgement about a woman's perspective or her body when he probably doesn't understand it. Yay he has 3 kids. Yay he leads Dems and Reps in workouts. That doesn't say anything about his right to rule on women's bodies. They are focusing on economic issues because if that ever came up they would get slaughtered- especially now with the Akin comment crisis.
