ROMNEY THE LIAR'S RUNNING MATE: "THE LYIN' KING"

Hah! This is awesome. It's a list of all Little Paulie Ryan's lies on the campaign trail. If Willard was looking for a VP nominee as sociopathic, mendacious, and two-faced as himself, he found him. Examples:

[Ryan lie]: “I voted for the Budget Control Act. But the Obama Administration proposed $478 billion in defense cuts. We don’t agree with that, our budget rejected that, and then on top of that is another $500 billion in defense cuts in the sequester.” Truth: Ryan has been doing back flips to explain why he has been criticizing the Democrats for the $600 billion “sequestration” cuts that will automatically go into effect if there’s no budget compromise by December. Ryan, in fact, voted for those cuts. The sequestration cuts, along with $487 billion in other defense cuts, were both a part of the Budget Control Act. (September 9, 2012) 

 [Ryan lie]: “And by the way, under President Clinton, we got welfare reform … which moved people from welfare to work, to get people out of poverty. President Obama is rolling back welfare reform.” Truth: President Obama granted several Republican governors new flexibility for how to implement welfare standards, but did not eliminate the current existing requirements. The claim about the work requirement was universally debunked by fact checkers, and by Bill Clinton. (September 5, 2012)

[Ryan lie]:  “Seven hundred and sixteen billion dollars, funneled out of Medicare by President Obama. An obligation we have to our parents and grandparents is being sacrificed, all to pay for a new entitlement we didn’t even ask for. The greatest threat to Medicare is Obamacare, and we’re going to stop it.” Truth: The savings in Medicare come from cuts to reimbursements to hospitals and insurance companies, not from seniors, and go to paying for the healthcare law. By repealing the ACA and restoring those reimbursements, Romney and Ryan would in fact hasten Medicare’s demise. (August 29, 2012)

Read the whole thing, as we say. And then:

1. Make sure you are registered to vote.
2. Make a contribution to Act Blue or to the Obama campaign directly.
3. Make these items go viral.

The country you save may be your own.
