Paul Ryan Interview: We Lost Because ...
by Free Britney at .In his first interview since the 2012 election results dealt him a tough defeat, GOP V.P. nominee Paul Ryan admits losing came as something of a surprise.
"We thought we had a very good chance of winning," the 42-year-old said.
"You know, the polling and the data and all the people who are the smart people who watch this stuff -- they had a pretty optimistic view on the night."
"So as you can imagine, it was a bit of a shock when we didn't win."
As soon as the final numbers on Virginia and Ohio began coming in, says Ryan, "we knew," adding that President Obama won reelection fair and square.
"I'll let the pundits decide exactly how he won," says the Wisconsin Congressman.
"The point is, [President Obama] got more votes than we did. That's how he won."
"The president deserves kudos for having a fantastic ground game. And the point I'm simply making is, he won. He won fair and square. He got more votes."
"And that's - that's the way our system works. And he ought to be congratulated for that."
Other takeaways from Paul Ryan's interview with ABC News:
- He says Obama has no mandate because America also reelected the GOP House, including himself, and that the ideas he ran on are popular.
- The silver lining? More time with his family; he took a short vacation and didn't even hear about the David Petraeus scandal until days later.
- He's not thinking about the 2016 election.
- Is Diane Sawyer drunk all the time?

Is it true that Andrea Mitchell threw her panties up on the podium at President Obama's Press Conference?
The Romney/Ryan ticket lost because their appeal was very narrow. Pres O & his people are public relations geniuses! Their appeal was universal. They touch people in a way the Republicans never could, and just like the dinosaurs they can't adjust to the changes in their surroundings. Romney didn't have a clear plan, at least not one he wanted us to know about. He REALLY wanted to manipulate the financial structure for the benefit of his billionaire contributors. He didn't want to release his prior tax returns because he earned millions when the govt bailed out the auto industry. The joke is he never cared about you supporters. You don't make enough money. We will make out fine with Pres O. It'll all straighten out. Just give it time. Not that you have a choice. The intelligent majority has spoken!! Now get over it!
You are full of yourself and full of shit! So let me get this straight! If I tell you your beautiful even though you look like hammered shit, if I tell you the light in your eyes makes my heart melt even though your cross eyed and if I tell you I would walk a thousand miles just to see you smile then that makes me the one for you? Obama is what you have fell for all your miserable life! He bullshits you then shits on you and the only reason your shallow ass voted for him is because he LIES SO GOOD! Obama is an arrogant, conceited, vain cocky worm. He came at a time when ignorance was bliss and society needs a lesson. Over 50% of this country is divorced and 40% of kids are born out of wedlock all because people like YOU caved into a bullshitter!
Responding to your rants is not worth the time it takes. Like I said your vicious insults reflect your frustration and rage at what happened on the 6th. No matter what you say THAT cannot be changed. You make dooms day predictions about the Commander & Chief. But have you forgotten? YOU said he wouldn't win. BUT HE DID! And THAT conflict will keep your mind seething. I'm afraid it won't be an easy four yrs for you, hahaha! So keep ranting if it lowers your blood pressure.......temporarily hahaha! But remember this. WE WON!! And we'll come together again next time with the same result. YOU don't run the country anymore! Isn't that the REAL issue??! Hahaha!!!
You really are psychotic to suggest that you and I....Hahahaha!! You and your pathetic analogies. Hating the rich is like Hitler and the Jews?! What'd you stop in the 5th grade? A stupid analogy, insulting to Jewish people. Its not about hating the rich. Its about paying a fair share. You have a filthy mouth with liberal usage of words that indicate a preoccupation with anal activities. I shall add that to your psychotic disorder. And with a mandate that rejected your political ideology, why do you believe so strongly that you're right? Oh that's right, I forgot, that too is part of your psychosis!
People like you never cease to amaze me. Somehow you have come to a decision (after collaborating with the HAVE NOTS) that you have the defining "YARDSTICK" on what is a fair share. Democrats have been treating people like you (HOPE JUNKIES) with the same song and dance for years! Tell me something DIPSHIT- how many "RAGS 2 RICHES" stories have you personally witnessed- with the help of Democratic guidance? John Kerry who has twice as much money as Romney & married into his fortune along with buying inside trader stock into the SELECT pharmaceutical company's that Obamacare will use before those companies were announced! Still- you stay dug in? You are a young fool- who holds onto the very hand that keeps you pushed down! Obama congregates idiots. Free cellphone give always? How embarrassing for you! You have no standards or shame! Your uneducated and Obama has his hooks in you & you can't see it! Your broke today and will be 4 years from today.
Sterling? There is not a damn thing STERLING about your dull ass! You sit perched up there on your liberal anti establishment ass and you remind me of a seagull as you sit there in your own shit and squawk! Your broke you have no life and your perfectly satisfied at the hopes of the rest of society being as miserable as your Facebook Floundering ass! You are bitter at your lack of options, your resentful of others success and you LIKE IT OR NOT- your nothing but a little Obama solider hoping that he will throw you a bone! Was this your plan all along? You just wait for a JIVE ASS president to come along and pretend he gives a rats ass about you! Your intoxicated and probably sniffing paint- would be my guess! You'll never get a man!
WHHHAAAATT are you talking about??! You sound like a psychotic Remeo! I don't know how to answer your schizoid rampage, but what happened on the 6th of Nov was answer enough. Your side LOST!! And you have a four year sentence of rage, depression, disillusionment, disappointment, etc etc. Better get yourself enrolled in an intensive outpatient program. Hahahaha!
Don't ever mistake me for wanting to be any kind of Romeo to the likes of YOU! EVER!!!!! You just like the rest of this country LOST! You just don't know it yet! I can't imagine what drives a turd like you! To be bitter towards the rich is exactly what hitler was like against the Jews- in the beginning! I hope Obamacare will cover the surgery of getting your head dislodged from your ass! You people don't care if you ever get ahead! You just want some company to lay with you in the sewer of economic failure! You are priceless and you are everything that is wrong with the misdirected self entitled people of this country! Now- why don't you get a pacifier and your obamabear and crawl into your sleeping bag and hope like hell there's enough left to salvage of this country you so neglectfully abused with your vote!
Paul you did crappy. You couldn't even win your own State or even your own town. Idiots just never learn how to count.
@Patty. How come you don't have a ghetto name like Noneshia? Turn about is fair play. Since 96% of blacks voted for the Kenyan, which seems like racism to me, I had to hire a person the other day. 4 of the applicants were qualified, and experienced. 3 were black, 1 was white. Other employers I know are going to do the same thing. And guess what, if I have to lay someone off, guess what race they're going to be. You asked for it, you got it.
ALLSAINTS- i may have to call bullshit on that! Are you saying you found 3 Blacks who actually wanted to work- all in the same place? They voted for obama because they knew that higher taxes means they will continue to be able to live off the Government! People are laying off all over this country because companies know that the next 4 years will be a disaster. No one will retire as a result of the economy and no one will hire! That means more and more college students will be unemployed! People don't understand that money MUST change hands in order for a society to prosper! Jobs Jobs Jobs! Society is sick!
