QUOTE OF THE DAY
“He created a bipartisan debt commission. They came back with an urgent report. He thanked them, sent them on their way, and then did exactly nothing.”
Paul Ryan in his acceptance speech for the GOP Veep nomination.
OK, first of all, that is a complete and utter fucking lie.
Every single word of it starting with “He” and ending with “nothing”.
Because the Cat Food Simpson-Bowles Commission never made ANY recommendations for Obama to either support or oppose.
Know why?
Because the commission voted down its own fucking recommendations and never presented them to either the president or congress.
And why did it do that?
Because Paul Ryan, who was a member of that very commission, convinced a majority of commissioners to vote down the recommendations that Ryan is now complaining about Obama not enacting.
If anyone out there reading this believes a word that comes out of the mouth of this brazen, mendacious fucking intellectual featherweight then they’re fucking idiots and even stupider than Paul Ryan.

Since he hit the national stage – Paul Ryan has had nothing but a serious intergity problem. From the BS filled acceptance speech to his marathon lie. If he hasta lie, is there something wrong with his and Mitten’s message?

Paul Ryan appears to be a pathological liar. There’s no rhyme or reason to what he lies about from his marathon times to his voting record. He tells lies like the rest of us blink or sneeze.

Today he had to ‘walk back’ the statement he made in his speech about the Janesville, WI GM plant closing, saying he never said it was Obama’s fault. Then he doubled down on that bullshit by saying ‘it wasn’t his fault but he promised that he’d keep it open and then broke that promise.’ Except that Obama never promised to keep it open. So he’s doing a mea culpa for one lie then piling another one on.
I had thought it impossible for Romney to find a running mate slimier than himself but he sure nailed it with Ryan.
I’m disappointed in a lot of what Obama has (or has not) done in 4 years but the thought of these 2 winning the election is incomprehensible.

That’s why his nickname is Lyin Ryan.

You should check out his response to Matt Lauer on Today. Matt was kinda tough, for Matt, and Paulie boy just made new lies.

It is truly a shame that the lies won’t matter. In the first place, the low information voter will believe anything they are told. Secondly, when he’s “your” guy, you ignore the bad stuff and only believe the good stuff (what that could possibly be re: Ryan is beyond me, but anyway). Lastly, he’s with the guy who’s not Obama. That alone is enough for these people.
September 4th, 2012 at 12:33 pm
But he’s got those big doe eyes that make Americans wilt and believe nothing bad could be hidden behind them. That he’s a sociopathic monster willing to lie so blatantly about anything and everything is immaterial; the DC village thinks he’s cool and they all want to sleep with him, so like battered wives and girlfriends, they keep going back to him thinking he didn’t really mean it. It’s sick…and sickening…and if Obama loses against this thing that is so obviously spawn of satan, he’ll be just as responsible for what happens as will R&R.

The GOP has managed to create a reality distortion field around everything they say and do. They are somehow creating the truth they *think* people want to hear. The trouble is, facts have a way of bitch-slapping them back to the real world, where upon getting called on their shit, they just lie about lying. If the Democrats pulled this sort of nonsense, Fox News would be burning up the airwaves with their histrionics and hype so much so their fan base would be rioting in the streets.

Yes, lying loses elections, as President Kerry can affirm. (sarcasm)
…. The repugs chose “Sarah Palin with a small penis” because he tells them what they want to hear. The republican Fantasy World is “White America 1960″ The Democratic Fantasy World is “Let’s be truthful and fair, and expect everyone to reward us for it”
Let’s take 10 more seconds to laugh at Ryan and Romney, then get to work electing Democrats.

Pauly has been a brown-nose liar since he could talk. He says he “broke up” with Ayn Rand since he found out she preached(?) atheism, yet he spoke at her foundation in 2007, and has been pushing her books to his staff even more recently. The U.S. Catholic Bishops Conference called out Pauly on his un-christian “reform budget plans” for the poor, sick, elderly and the young. Pauly drove Nuns on the Bus to run him over. Pauly is a Catholic like Adolf was a Catholic.

*But he’s pretty!* That seems to be the only qualification these days for Republican candidate for VPOTUS, not what they think or even *if they think*! But I’m starting to be hopeful that this cynical ploy may work even worse for them than Palin did.
The last election was decided by the young, this election needs to be decided by women! Todd Akin and the Official Platform of the Republican Party make that clear, as well as their Paul Walker-like disdain for often female dominated professions like teaching and nursing.
As gay men, we may not have a lot of influence with women in general, but any chance you get convince a woman (or young person) to register, even help them to do so, grab it! And for fuck’s sake also convince them to vote against the Republicans in state leadership roles all over the country making it harder for everybody but rich people to vote!

Pew Research completed a poll that ranked the GOP speeches by popularity
Clint Eastwood got 20%. None of the above got 20%
Mittens got 17%. Paul Ryan got 9%
Not looking good for mittens
