Perhaps it is just me, but ...

As I have watched the back-and-forth which is normal in the lead up to a presidential race and all the especially almost perverted polarization of the current state, the only man I have seen that I was really impressed with was Mr. Ryan.  He acts, speaks, looks and conduct himself presidential.  My greater hope and belief was the Ryan could transcend this escalating mess and give us, we the American people, a candidate we could look up to, stand behind and charge forward but ....

Yup, big but!  For reasons I, right now, will never understand is why the Republicans have chosen to in essence bury the best they had.  I have never witnessed a rising star fall in the ocean of obscurity as I have watched Mr. Ryan's plummet.  You can read the article and it is well written but when you read the white space, that real message between the black print, it becomes obvious the GOP has either decided to self destruct, which is likely, or a master strategy is underway to "bury" Ryan for a while meaning to let the current Romney / Perry self destruction continue and raise Ryan up as the best option when the shrapnel has cleared ,,,, hum me thinks??!?!!?

This announcement has been made remarkable gently and quiet which is surprising to me that the media has not climbed all over this.  It simply does not pass the sniff test for me for I have wondered in my looking to see when Ryan would face the cameras but alas, below the surface.  This has to be great news for the Democrats at least for now.

All of this, to me, is about as easy to understand the logic of as the plummeting price of gold with the equity markets in free fall this week. Simply defies logic!  But then I remember my readings in the books of Daniel, Isiah and especially Revelations where the end times will be marked by confusion, lack of logic, a pathway for a global leader as an agent of Satan called the Antichrist that will exert leadership on a grand scale in the end times.  Simply baffling isn't it?  Those of you that really know me knows how much music reaches me deeply.  A great song entitled UNDER CONTROL has a first verse that captures it all for me. Please watch my great friend Tim Riley and Gold City Quartet sing this great message of hope!

UNDER CONTROL

The Bible speaks of famines and trials

In the last days how they’ll sweep through our land
But we have His assurance
That through all these trials
We’ll be led by His Mighty Hand
Manna from God will come down from above
To restore and to nourish our soul
So through all of your trials
And all of your fears
Remember God has it under control



Rep. Ryan to head key 2012 RNC fundraising trust

By: CNN's Kevin Liptak

Washington (CNN) - Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, seen by many as a rising star among Republicans, was tapped Friday to head up a key fundraising group for his party ahead of the 2012 presidential election.

"I am delighted to announce the appointment of my good friend Paul Ryan to chair the RNC Presidential Trust," Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said. "Paul is a visionary leader for our Party and it is fitting that he play a crucial role in the upcoming election where our nation's future hangs in the balance."

According to the RNC's release, the RNC Presidential Trust is able to make "coordinated expenditures" on campaign costs in concert with the eventual GOP presidential nominee. The group can also coordinate staffing in cooperation with state Republican parties.

Ryan said Friday that his role in raising money for Republicans in the 2012 election would be essential in changing policies put in place by President Barack Obama.

"Americans struggling under the Obama administration's failed economic policies cannot afford another four years of high unemployment, unchecked government spending and record deficits and debt," Ryan said in a statement. "Raising the resources necessary to get out the vote in 2012 will be the difference maker in determining what kind of future we will have."

Ryan, who serves as chairman of the House Budget Committee, has received increased attention in the past several months for his role in crafting a controversial budget proposal that cuts trillions of dollars in federal government spending.

Ryan's name is frequently mentioned as a potential vice-presidential candidate. Ryan has said that he will not seek the GOP presidential nomination.
