    Sure, but I take it you think Ryan is also a rat bag then for lying about Obama, because his speech at the RNC was "straight up, in your face, bs crap of a lie." Let me guess, you forgave him? hahaha

    You would guess that, because you are so insanely partisan, and being a conservative partisan, you would be wrong.

    LOL! You dont even know he lied!

    "His most brazen lie accused President Obama of “raiding” Medicare by taking the exact same $716 billion that Ryan and the House GOP notoriously voted to slash."

    I gave the link so you can read the other heap he read out:

    But that’s not all. He attacked Obama for failing to keep open a Janesville GM plant that closed under Bush in 2008. He hit him for a credit-rating downgrade that S&P essentially blamed on GOP intransigence. He claimed that all taxpayers got from the 2009 stimulus was “more debt,” when most got a tax cut (and the stimulus is known to have saved between 1.4 and 3.3 million jobs). He derided the president for walking away from the Simpson Bowles commission deficit-cutting recommendations when Ryan himself, a commission member, voted against those recommendations.

    He blamed Obama for a deficit mostly created by programs he himself voted for – from two wars, tax cuts, new Medicare benefits and TARP.

    And of course, he riffed on the tired central lie of the GOP convention: that the president said “government gets the credit” for small businesses, not the business owners themselves.

    Other than that, it was a great speech.

    Interestingly, for all his lies, Ryan didn’t repeat the Romney camp’s false claim that Obama did away with the welfare system’s work requirements. Maybe he ran out of time.

    Ryan got off a few good zingers: “College grads shouldn’t have to live out their 20s in childhood bedrooms, staring up at fading Obama posters.” He didn’t mention that he opposed legislation to keep student loan rates from doubling. His remarks about his childhood were slightly moving. He talked about losing his father at 16, and he called his mother, who went back to school and to work after that, his role model. But he never mentioned the Social Security death benefits that let him go to an out-of-state school. Occasionally he seemed to be going after swing voters, rather than his hard-right base, taking a more in sorrow than anger tone about Obama’s failings. Then he’d mix things up with nastiness and lies.

    the article goes on...



    Now that you can see he clearly did lie, can you please decry Ryan for throwing his integrity under the bus, as it were.

    I doubt you really care about morals in politics - only if you can cry about a Democrat.

    There might be more lies again listed here:

    It does not, however, change the basket of benefits that patients have access to. And, as Ezra pointed out earlier today, the Ryan budget would keep these cuts in place.

    The plant in WI was closed in 2009 while Obama was president.

    If I sought to condemn all deception by politicians, I would no longer have time for other matters, such as eating and sleeping.
    This particular thread is about Warren, and I think her claim of being native-American in order to enhance her resume is particularly vile.

    My mother told me that if I made that face it would get stuck that way.

    Guess what idiot? Parents tell their children all kinds of things. Were you, perhaps, kicking Native American children in the junk at the time?

    I'm tired of the phrase, "Let me be clear."

    Obama has ridden that one into the gutter.

    No odd reason whatsoever. It's to get an advantage over others. This, I believe, is the reason Obama will never release his school records.

    Hm, did she use minority scholarship money to attend Harvard? Wonder if she could be investigated for fraud.

    That's a very good question, the Brown campaign should investigate that.

    No, it's because Elizabeth Warren lacks integrity. She admittedly comes from a family that lacks integrity. She is a serial liar that comes from a family of liars.

    That doesnt seem to be the case, since conservatives here are awfully slow to, or not interest in, condemning the lies and blatantly misleading statements made by conservative politicians.
