CBS News) Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan defended his and Mitt Romney's omission of the war in Afghanistan from their acceptance speeches at the Republican National Convention last week, saying Romney has been talking about Afghanistan "repeatedly in his campaign.
On "CBS This Morning," Ryan said Romney didn't need to mention the 11-year long war because he gave a speech earlier in the week at American Legion, and he said he mentioned veterans in his own convention speech."I talked about veterans and what they've done for our country," Ryan said.When asked by "CTM" co-host Charlie Rose about the Romney-Ryan Afghanistan policy, Ryan said he agreed with President Obama's policy to withdraw troops in 2014, but he said they have "some differences." The key difference, he pointed out, is that they would conduct "an assessment" after taking office on the defense posture leading up to the withdrawal.
key words "i talked" "he mentioned" if that satisfy's your need to hear their views on the subject of war, then can you lower the standard any further? bet the troops are all gung ho over that one. embellishing a lie is putting lipstick on a untruth but it's still a grease painted lie.
Charlie Rose also pressed Ryan on why he supported the auto bailout during his time in Congress. His running mate, Mitt Romney opposed the bailout and supported bankruptcy without government assistance. Ryan offered a defensive response saying he supported the bailout "as a means to prevent TARP from being using for the bailout."then he follows up with more elephant dung intended to misdirect you into another big whopping one. did his mom teach him how to be deceitful, or did he just have that gene?
