is there such a thing as pride among liars? history has showed us republicans always get busted when they try to defend their infractions not the actual commission.
Republican vice presidential candidate, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) speaks to supporters at Westlake Recreation Center on September 4, 2012 in Westlake, Ohio.(CBS News) COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan on Thursday opted not to directly respond to President Clinton's barbed criticism of his policies, but did offer a robust defense of his Medicare plan in a speech here."Don't take my word for it," Ryan told the crowd, a day after Clinton said he had "some brass" for accusing President Obama of raiding $716 billion from Medicare to pay for the health care reform law when the House Budget Committee chairman's own budget includes the same cuts. "Take the word from the Medicare chief actuary, from the Congressional Budget Office, or from arithmetic. You can't spend the same dollar twice. Either this money comes and helps Medicare, or it goes to pay for Obamacare, but not both."Ryan has defended his budget's inclusion of the cuts by arguing that he had to write his budget with the assumption that the health care law was still intact. But he said multiple votes by the Republican-controlled House to repeal the law demonstrates their intent to restore the funds. He ignored shouted questions from reporters about Clinton's attacks as he shook hands with voters.
deer caught in the headlights, again, "don't take my word for it", we don't what credit can he possibly have now after being exposed as the biggest liar in the party, maybe even the all time #1. it's on video tape stupid.
"President Clinton put it best last night: the Romney-Ryan 'arithmetic' just doesn't add up," said Obama campaign spokesman Danny Kanner. "Mitt Romney and Congressman Ryan would raise taxes on the middle class, turn Medicare into a voucher system and slash critical investments in education and infrastructure to pay for tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires. And they have provided no details about how they would reduce our debt, while independent economists have said that their plan would do nothing to create jobs now."
Ryan had no shortage of material for his own criticisms against the Democrats, noting that the word "God" - originally removed from a plank of the Democratic platform that referred to Americans' "God-given potential" -- was reinserted at the order of President Obama after pressure from the Republican party.
i can understand removing God's name, the right has usurped religion and twisted it into the hate filled, bigoted fall back plan when the want to gin up their base, except they are the only one's who believe in their God of hate and racism. i think Pres. did the right thing being religion real and fake has a tremendous influence on those who follow the teachings and those that rewrite the teachings.
