Retirement Planning Tools Biography
According to a statistical-historical analysis conducted by Nate Silver, "Ryan is the most conservative Republican member of Congress to be picked for the vice-presidential slot since at least 1900" and "is also more conservative than any Democratic nominee [for vice president who previously served in the Congress] was liberal, meaning that he is the furthest from the center" of any vice presidential candidate chosen from Congress since the turn of the 20th century.[184] This analysis, using the DW-NOMINATE statistical system,[184] has been described as "one of the more statistically rigorous approaches to Ryan's congressional voting record."[185] Political scientist Eric Schickler commented that while Ryan "may well be the most conservative vice presidential nominee in decades," the NOMINATE methodology "is not suited to making claims about the relative liberalism or conservatism of politicians" over a long time span.[185] A USA Today/Gallup poll found that 39% thought Ryan was an "excellent" or "pretty good" vice presidential choice, compared to 42% who felt he was a "fair" or "poor" choice.[186]
Ryan formally accepted his nomination at the 2012 Republican National Convention on August 29, 2012.[187] In his acceptance speech, he promoted Mitt Romney as the presidential candidate,[188] supported repeal of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA),[188] said that he and Romney have a plan to generate 12 million new jobs over the next four years,[188] and promoted founding principles as a solution: "We will not duck the tough issues – we will lead. We will not spend four years blaming others – we will take responsibility. We will not try to replace our founding principles, we will reapply our founding principles."[188] The speech was well received by the convention audience and praised for being well-delivered.[189][190] However, media fact-checkers at the New York Times,[191] the Associated Press,[192] and Factcheck.org[193] accused Ryan of "a litany of falsehoods"; Jennifer Rubin of The Washington Post,[194] the Investor's Business Daily,[195] and Fox News[196] disputed some of the claims by the fact-checkers. Politifact.com rated 33 of Ryan's statements which it suspected of being false or misleading: True:10.5%, Mostly True:18%, Half True:21%, Mostly False:36%, False:9% Pants on Fire:6% [197]
On October 11, 2012, Ryan debated his Democratic counterpart, incumbent Vice President Joe Biden, in the only Vice Presidential debate of the 2012 election cycle.[198][199]
