After being presented with evidence, lyin' Ryan admits having requested stimulus $$

Yet another Republicon hypocrite and "Big Lie" practitioner exposed.



"I don't recall." How many times did Gonzo say that during Congressional hearings? But how do you prosecute someone for perjury if their answer is "I don't recall." Very hard to prove someone remembered something.

Apparently Ryan had already "forgotten" writing the letters two years ago, only a year he wrote them.

I too, have done things contrary to my core personal beliefs. I still remember and I am still very ashamed of myself.

Who wants to vote for someone as VP who could forget violating his core political beliefs within a year?

as they would have if it had it been a Democratic Party candidate that had "misspoken".

This lie, alone, would sink a Democrat.

Thing is, if I were a career politician who had done for a constituent something that went against my core politican/economic beliefs, I would never have forgotten it immediately, as Ryan claims he did. (Apparently, in addition to what my Op says, he said in the very same year of the request that he had never requested stimulus funds.0

So, bottom line, we are still left with the lie, no matter why he requested the money. And then the lie about the lie.

The lie: I never requested stimulus money. The lie about the lie: I said that only because I had totally forgotten the request and never had an aide check. no matter how many times I got asked.

However, media seems to have no interest in the fact that yet another practitioner of the big lie is running for VP.



I see Republicans calling out the media all the time during their TV interviews. I wish Democrats would do more of that. They sure have more reason to do it.




Not sure if a lie alone would sink a Democrat today, even if media pursued it like the Enquirer and the D of J pursued John Edwards.

Many Democratic voters today seem very willing to treat politics like a ball game: you root for your home team, no matter what. ("So what if he took steroids and bet on the games. We won the game/pennant/series, didn't we? Besides, Bushco did it too." Move on.)


Then again, the more time that passes, the more Democratic voters seem to mimic Republican voters in many ways. What astounds me so much is that neither group seems to see the similarities. Or, maybe they do see, but just will not cop to it out loud.

:) Compliments of DFW:

You can't hide your Ryan lies
And your ads are thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your Ryan lies.
