Paul Ryan’s Republican National Conference speech slammed as lies and make believe - VIDEO

If I owe a co-payment of $716 million that was previously subject to being reimbursed but now is not, because the money for reimbursement has been transferred by Obamacare, can't I say that Obamacare took 716 million from me. How is that misleading or false.

What a web of lies the liberal media weave.....Ryan did not lie, it is TRUE, obama did remove 716 million from medicaid, it is a FACT......the lies are coming from the people attacking Ryan, the majority of American people know who is lying and that is the OBAMA regime

Ryan is Romney's brain and new mouth piece. When will they find him a heart.

jamthecat: "Word slicing" and "A pathetic attempt to cloud the truth" Are you kidding me? Here are the facts: There was a specific allegation made charging Ryan with lying about the GM plant closure. I went to the source document (his speech) to see for myself exactly what Ryan said on this topic. I then quoted him verbatum (but you characterize quoting somebody as "word slicing.") In fact, I didn't "slice" anything; rather I quoted 100% of his words that dealt with GM topic. I pointed out that his exact words as delivered in his speech simply do not back up a claim that he blamed Obama for the plant closure as alleged. But you turned this around on me. Pathetic? Who's pathetic? Please deal in facts; not unwarranted name calling. Thank you. Have a nice day :-)

I think this website loses whatever sense of balance it has when it starts citing the Huffington Post as a source. Then they quote Sally Kohn from Fox News to show that even FOX NEWS agrees. Sally is a far left commentator on Fox news, giving the "other side's" opinion. I RARELY see the "other side's" opinion when I watch the liberal media's version of the news.

Rick...Rick...Rick...when even Fox News is calling your beloved Paul Ryan a liar, you know you haven't got a leg to stand on in defending him. His lies and hypocrisy have become so blatant, even right wing leaders are calling him on it. Give it up, boy; the man's got the moral compass of a billy goat, and none of your word-slicing in a pathetic attempt to cloud the truth will change that.

Here is exactly what Ryan said regarding the GM plant in Janesville, WI. "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." I have fact this statement by Ryan and it is 100% true. 1. Ryan never blamed Obama for the plant shutdown. Actually, he blamed him for not reopening it as he had promised to do during his 2008 campaign visit to Janesville. 2. Obama, in fact, came to Janesville in 2008 when the factory was about to close. He was running against Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Presidential nomination at the time. Obama pointed to the NAFTA agreement championed by Hillary's husband, President Bill Clinton, as one of the main reasons the factory was about to close. On Dec. 23, 2008, the factory all but closed with only a skeleton crew of 50 employees remaining to finish producing a specific SUV order. It closed permanently shortly thereafter and in fact was never reopened after . So where is the Ryan lie? It's funny that the Washington Post claims Ryan "appeared to suggest" Obama was responsible for closing the plant. Instead of using weak words like "appear to suggest" I suggest the Washington Post actually read Ryan's exact words and either find a lie or shut up!

What a pleasure to see a political column on Irish Central so UN-controversial! Like a broken clock, even Fox "News" gets in right occasionally, and for the sake of their right wing base it's probably as well that a "friendly" organization points out their ticket's biggest potential problem right away. For the record, someone should point out to "Seanmor" and his friends that the last time this country had a documented *problem* with uncontrolled border entries (as opposed to knee jerk pandering to xenophobes) was just before the Mayflower landed in what is now Massachusetts. A nation of immigrants is ill suited to slam the door behind them - especially without documented statistical evidence (which doesn't exist) that more recent arrivals have substantively harmed the country.

First, did you really expect anything less from the bold faced liar, Paul Ryan? Ryan’s acceptance speech contained several false claims and misleading statements. First he Accused President Obama’s health care law of funneling money away from Medicare “at the expense of the elderly.” In fact, Medicare’s chief actuary says the law “substantially improves” the system’s finances, and Ryan himself has embraced the same savings. He Accused Obama of doing “exactly nothing” about recommendations of a bipartisan deficit commission — which Ryan himself helped scuttle. Also claimed the American people were “cut out” of stimulus spending. Actually, more than a quarter of all stimulus dollars went for tax relief for workers. Faulted Obama for failing to deliver a 2008 campaign promise to keep a Wisconsin plant open. It closed less than a month before Obama took office. Ryan Blamed Obama for the loss of a AAA credit rating for the U.S. Actually, Standard & Poor’s blamed the downgrade on the uncompromising stands of both Republicans and Democrats.

It seems to me that neither Romney nor Ryan, Obama nor Biden seldom if ever address the problem of our WIDE OPEN southern border thru which illegal aliens, including criminal elements, continue to pour. The heads of both tickets also fail to deal with the 26 million verters who HONORABLY served the nation, at least 200, 000 of whom are jobless and homeless.
