Experts and journalists have discussed at length the impact that will have the binomial Romney-Ryan in both political parties, but little has been discussed about its effects on the U.S. population and particularly on the Hispanic community. Recent polls show a general concern among some Latinos by the policies promoted by Congressman as cuts welfare, health, education and infrastructure. However, broadly speaking, Latinos do not seem to know much about Ryan .

A tweet from Antonia Ortiz ( @ susopiniones ) [in] corroborates such findings, arguing that Ryan does not have a favorable image among Hispanics

The Republican Party has among its followers to a large following of people cutting or religious evangelist, but as noted in the blog of the Independent Institute of Congressman's bid does not sit well in some members of the Catholic Church, a congregation to which he belongs Ryan the same, because their economic policies:

"I fear that Ryan's budget reflects the values ​​of their most favorite philosopher, Ayn Rand, that the gospel of Jesus Christ," [Thomas J.] Reese, a Jesuit priest and member hierarchy Woodstock Theological Center at Georgetown University , referring to the author of Atlas Shrugged, an uncompromising advocate of individualism. "Survival of the fittest may be fine for the Social Darwinists, but not for the followers of the gospel."

Meanwhile, the blog of Alana Moceri considered to have Ryan as Romney teammate pleases the Republican base:

Basically, it's a nod toward conservative base [a] Republican Party, who have been putting increasing pressure in the last week ... Ryan is a congressman from Wisconsin best known for his very conservative budget plan presented in 2008 'Roadmap for America's Future Act of 2008 and Commonly Referred to as The Ryan Budget '. It is a budget plan detested by Democrats for its cuts to social programs, including Medicare replacement by a voucher system-see Democrats emphasize that enough. That's why Romney has been announced as the "intellectual leader" of the party. "

Other tweets remind Hispanics somewhat pejorative terms that Ryan allegedly used during his career in Washington, as described Analyze This [en] ( @ AnalizeThis )

Finally, Marco A. Yuren Nunez ( @ Marco_NY23 ) shows unhappy with the choice of Ryan, as Núñez as the only way to win the Hispanic vote was picking Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who also sounded like a candidate to get the nomination for vice president:

@ Marco_NY23 : Mitt Romney was wrong to choose as running mate to Paul Ryan. I think Marco Rubio of FL was a better option. Vital Hispanic vote.
