LyinRyan says they want the discussion out in the public. Well, duh, what does he think those speeches he gives daily are for....to inform the public. That's the last thing they want to do. Keep it secret and trust them.

How anyone could vote for them is beyond me. They are so obvious in their dodging of the questions. They have no substance.

'Specifics' and 'principles' are not the same thing

When it comes to its budget pitch to voters, Romney/Ryan has quite a vision: they'll slash taxes, increase defense spending, increase entitlement spending, and balance the budget -- all while protecting the home-mortgage-interest deduction, the health care deduction, and the charitable-contribution deduction. How? By closing unnamed tax loopholes.

<..> David Gregory specifically asked for "specifics" to explain how Romney "gets to this math." The Republican replied, "Well, the specifics are these which is, those principles I described are the heart of my policy."

<..> Asked if this constitutes "a secret plan," Ryan insisted it does not, saying he and Romney "want to do this out in the open," having "this debate in the public" -- but not until after they're elected.

Let this argument roll around in your brain for a moment: Romney is trying to redefine the word "specifics" to give it the opposite of its intended meaning, while Ryan is trying to argue that secrecy is actually just a delayed version of transparency.

Nailed them.

Romney/Ryan - two con men in over their heads. Every time they sit down for an interview, they come across as "persons of interest" being brought in for questioning. The only thing missing are their lawyers in the room advising them to "don't answer that."
