PAUL RYAN SETS RECORD FOR MOST LIES TOLD IN ANY SPEECH EVER

This is the future of the Republican Party. Paul Ryan's nose, had he been Pinocchio, would have grown to such enormous lengths during his speech at the RNC last night that loggers would have had to cut it down for safety concerns. This is one of the most ham handed attempts at spinning bullshit I have ever witnessed and the party faithful ate it up like it was gold. When did we become such a nation of sniveling idiots, willing to follow any demagogue into our own graves? Let's take a good look at the neverending story of complete and total crap that Paul Ryan vomited forth from his Ayn Rand loving mouth.

The most common theme is that Obama is ruining Medicare while the GOP is there to save it. Nothing could be further from the truth. First, Obamacare isn't destroying Medicare but saving it, according to every major organization that has examined it. Like this from USA Today:

Medicare Actuary, April 23, 2012: [Obama's] Affordable Care Act makes important changes to the Medicare program and substantially improves its financial outlook …

Medicare's money isn't being taken away. The Affordable Care Act calls for slowing the growth in spending, a move that — if successful — would keep the hospital insurance trust fund solvent for longer than if the reductions didn't happen.

Ryan himself proposed keeping most of these same spending cuts in his most recent "Path to Prosperity" budget. Yet, Ryan criticized Obama's cuts as "the biggest, coldest power play of all" and suggested seniors would suffer as a result.

Ryan, Aug. 29: And the biggest, coldest power play of all in Obamacare came at the expense of the elderly. … [T]hey just took it all away from Medicare, $716 billion funneled out of Medicare by President Obama.

The Affordable Care Act calls for a $716 billion reduction in the future growth of Medicare spending over 10 years, with most of that —about $415 billion— coming from a reduction in the future growth of payments to hospitals through Medicare Part A. And Medicare Part A's trust fund, as we've explained before, is in trouble financially. It's set to be insolvent in 2024, even with these spending cuts. Without them, the trust fund wouldn't be able to fully pay projected benefits in 2016, the Medicare trustees estimate.

 

The GOP is continuing on their long line of half truths to get votes from the rubes. Ryan's Budget Plan destroys Medicare in as little as five years for everyone, yet Obamacare is the boogeyman in the room. Does no one read anymore? Even Fox News saw the RNC speech as a lie-a-thon with very little accuracy about anything. FOX NEWS FOR GOD'S SAKE COULDN'T EVEN SWALLOW THIS CRAP. WHY SHOULD YOU? What else was said you ask that was is bad? Everything.

 

Ryan: He created a new bipartisan debt commission. They came back with an urgent report. He thanks them, sent them on their way, and then did exactly nothing. Republicans stepped up with good-faith reforms and solutions equal to the problems. How did the president respond? By doing nothing — nothing except to dodge and demagogue the issue.

 

Ryan himself voted against the debt commission. Obama put Social Security cuts on the table, a risky move at best, at the Republicans still shot him down as tax increase were needed to offset the cuts, a plan Ryan and others turned down. Republicans have themselves to blame for this debacle as well.

 

Ryan: [The stimulus] cost $831 billion. The largest one-time expenditure ever by our federal government. … You, the American people of this country, were cut out of the deal.

 

Most of the stimulus went to tax cuts which went overwhelmingly to people making less than $150,000 per year. How that cut out the American people, unless you count the 1%, is terrible math for a so called Professor of Finance and the Intellectual Leader of the GOP. This man needs to sue his former college because he did not get his money's worth.

 

Ryan: My own state voted for President Obama. When he talked about change, many people liked the sound of it, especially in Janesville, where we were about to lose a major factory.

A lot of guys I went to high school with worked at that GM plant. Right there at that plant, candidate Obama said: "I believe that if our government is there to support you, this plant will be here for another hundred years." That's what he said in 2008.

Well, as it turned out, that plant didn't last another year. It is locked up and empty to this day. And that's how it is in so many towns today, where the recovery that was promised is nowhere in sight.

 

First, Obama does not run GM so plant closings are hardly his fault. Second, the plant closed before Obama even took office so Obama is now responsible for what happened during the Bush administration too? He must be able to mind control people because there is no other way he could be responsible otherwise.

 

Ryan, Aug. 29: [Obama's presidency] began with a perfect AAA credit rating for the United States; it ends with the downgraded America.

 

This act was caused entirely by the Republican party in both houses for refusing to raise the debt ceiling. As the AAA credit was entirely Paul Ryan's fault yet again, the mind powers of Obama are frightening for making Ryan vote against his obvious opposite stance on the debt ceiling. Obama must be an X-Man.

 

Ryan, Aug. 29: "The stimulus was a case of political patronage, corporate welfare, and cronyism at their worst. You, the working men and women of this country, were cut out of the deal.”

 

The CBO has reported that the stimulus created 3.3 million jobs. Four out of five economists agree. Ryan himself wrote letters requesting stimulus money, then lied about it.

 

Ryan, Aug 29: “You see, even with all the hidden taxes to pay for the (government) health care takeover…”

 

One of the biggest lies as government is not taking over health care. It is still being run by private corporations who stand to make billions off the new additions with no government support like the public option most of us wanted. We have a public option here in MA that works very well, unless you listen to the absolute lies coming from the right which have no basis in reality, as the above speech also proves.

Ryan, Aug 29-: “We have a plan for a stronger middle class, with the goal of generating 12 million new jobs over the next four years.”

Might as well promise us all a huge mansion with a new Lexus and supermodel wife while you're at it. There is nothing in the Romney/Ryan plan that even suggests this is possible. LIE! LIE! LIE!

Ryan, Aug 29-“The choice is whether to put hard limits on economic growth, or hard limits on the size of government, and we choose to limit government."

This is like choosing between a steak and bowl of rocks for dinner. There is no evidence that by decreasing government, the economy will rebound. More than likely, as millions of jobs will be lost in the slash and burn GOP strategy, the economy will nose dive as even more people file for unemployment which the Republicans want to kill first, so they might not even get that. With no money for taxes, rent, food and the like, crime will skyrocket like never before. Oh by the way Republicans CAUSED all this debt for Bush policies like the tax cuts and two needless wars, all of which Ryan voted for. I hate this guy.

Ryan, Aug 29- “We have responsibilities, one to another — we do not each face the world alone. And the greatest of all responsibilities, is that of the strong to protect the weak.”

In what universe is the Republican party the ones looking out for poor people. Democrats barely can say that with a straight face, but for the GOP that is downright ludicrous. Their policies overwhelmingly cut services and safety net options from those that can least afford it. To say anything like this is the biggest lie of all and one that is convincing the dumber of the human race to vote against their owns self interests.

This is the common theme of the new GOP: fuck the poor, give everything to rich people and use social issues like gay rights and abortion to muddle the rubes in. Anyone who votes Republican anymore is such a backward hick that I can barely be in the same room with them. If anyone has one good reason to vote for Romney, I am keen to hear it. I can't find one. His policies are provably bad and even his own people can't tell a straight story without delving into pure fiction. Has politics devolved to this where the truth is a dirty word? This party of anti-science and ultra religious wingnuts are exactly the kind of people that destroy worlds. Don't be one to help them.

And by the way Clint Eastwood is speaking tonight, which I find odd as I thought all Hollywood elites were the devil. Oh you mean LIBERAL Hollywood elites. More hypocrisy from a party filled to the hilt with it.

Don't let this fool win. Obama 2012. Warren 2012.
