The Obama campaign also argues Ryan misled voters by criticizing Obama for not embracing the Bowles-Simpson deficit-reduction plan when Ryan himself voted against legislation based on the plan.
SPOILER WARNING! they all lied big time.
The Mitt Romney campaign has said the top priority for the speech was to present Ryan as an honest broker telling hard deficit truths to the public; the Obama message is a frontal assault on that effort.“If you've seen any coverage of Paul Ryan's speech in Tampa, you know that the consensus among journalists and independent observers is that it was ... factually challenged,” Messina wrote.“He lied about Medicare. He lied about the Recovery Act. He lied about the deficit and debt. He even dishonestly attacked Barack Obama for the closing of a GM plant in his hometown of Janesville, Wis. — a plant that closed in December 2008 under George W. Bush,” Messina wrote.
wonder if that was really Ryan given all those lies one has to wonder.
The Obama camp is pointing out that the plant closed later in 2008, before Obama took office.
“The fact that this speech, on this huge stage, is this blatantly false represents a huge bet by the Romney campaign — they've decided that facts, truth and reality will not be a brake on their campaign message,” Messina’s pitch concludes. “The only thing that can beat this back is you.”
why is there not more LOUD outrage about the deceitfulness of the right wing where are the progressive's where are the ads exposing what America heard last night and atleast half believe to be gospel? pointing out something does not reach those who aren't looking or listening.
