Here's to hoping the British will keep thrashing the Republican ticket all the way up through the election.

Yeah, that will show 'em!

Labour and even the Tories will always hate the GOP position on the NHS regardless of what is being said. That shouldn't affect our relations with the UK.

Romney and Ryan would be just as ridiculous if they suggested that our relationship with the UK would be negatively affected because of their national healthcare but you don't hear that. At the end of the day, it's always going to boil down to a difference in philosophy on a domestic issue. I'm sure I can find a slew of domestic issues in this country that our friends from across the pond misrepresent but I'm not whining that that will break our relationship.

The last part of your post was silly/blatantly hackish especially to a Republican like myself who considers foreign relations a major area of concern. I'm only bringing it up because of an inaccurate talking point that your side has been pushing: Ryan doesn't have foreign policy experience. The only probably with that "point" is that Ryan has been a member of the House for thirteen years. He certainly has some foreign policy experience.

Really, how do you get there?

Here's Ryan's committee memberships:

Committee on the Budget (Chairman)
Committee on Ways and Means
Subcommittee on Health
Republican Study Committee

Don't see anything about foreign relations there. Unless you mean he absorbed it through osmosis by being around other House members that were doing work on foreign policy.

Apparently you don't vote on and debate matters outside of your committee. Roll Eyes

Politico, have you ever actually been to Britain or read any study of the NHS written from a British perspective? Yes or no.

Yes. I firmly believe that queuing resources is never a good idea. The promises of socialized medicine are not realistic. Obviously good intentions, but poor results. It's the results that matter.

The free market's made America the healthiest nation on Earth!

Please, have you seen the Governor of New Jersey?

Yep, that is the winning argument...
