Virginia Foxx Hearts Paul Ryan

Virginia Foxx, in the arms of Paul Ryan

WHAT SHE SAID
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan stand in stark contrast to the failed policies and divisive values of the Obama Administration. I cannot think of a better choice to help Mitt Romney lead America's Comeback Team than my friend Paul Ryan.

WHAT SHE MEANT
A hard man is good to find.

WHAT SHE SAID
For years, Representative Ryan has been a bold, principled leader in the fiscal reform movement. With honesty, he's communicated the gravity of our government's financial crisis, and he's had unmatched nerve in proposing real solutions, devoid of gimmickry and demagoguery, to lead the country in a better direction.

WHAT SHE MEANT
I said, “Paul is that Atlas Shrugged in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?” And he said, “Ha ha, you are a gorgeous conservative, and I could eat you with a spoon for your adherence to the economic views of Ludwig von Mises.” And I said, “I will cook you breakfast, and we will have hash browns and tomatoes from my garden, which I picked and planted and weeded and cross-pollinated myself.”

WHAT SHE SAID
I've stood with Paul Ryan since he authored his first comprehensive budget bill, and I will continue to stand with Mitt Romney and Paul as they make their case for smaller government and restored prosperity to the American people. This is an election of ideas, and Romney's choice of Paul Ryan as his running mate solidifies that. Together they are a testament to American values and the principles of hard work, individual responsibility, and the belief that government should celebrate, not diminish, the success of its citizens. What a tremendous contrast.

WHAT SHE MEANT
You wanna get outta here? Go someplace where we can, you know, talk. I mean, without him? He’s kind of a drip, but you’ll go places. Please please please take me with you! I’ve got some food in my purse that I’ll share. Promise!
