Great speech that sounded more like a presidential speech than a VP! Couple times Ryan was taking direct shots at the Emperor!
“America, America is more than just a place though, America is an idea. It’s the only country founded on an idea. Our rights come from nature and God not from government! That’s right, that’s who we are, that’s how we built this country, that’s who we are… That’s what made us great, that’s our founding.
We promise equal opportunity, not equal outcomes. And this idea was founded on the principles of liberty, freedom, free enterprise, self-determination and government by consent of the governed.”
“We won’t duck the tough issues, we will lead. We won’t blame others, we will take responsibility. And we won’t replace our founding principles, we will reapply them.
We will honor you, our fellow citizens, by giving you the rights and opportunity to make the choice. What kind of country do we want to have? What kind of people do we want to be? We can turn this thing around… we can. We can turn this thing around, real solutions can be delivered but it will take leadership, and the courage to tell you the truth.”
