Top Ten Repeated Paul Ryan Lies

Click link below picture

.

This year’s Republican campaign may be the most dishonest in history. A couple of weeks ago I listed 10 major falsehoods and gaffes of Republican VP candidate Paul Ryan. He repeated several of them in his Tampa speech, and added a few more. In honest political debate, when a candidate says something that is not true, he is confronted by journalists and the public, and either gives evidence that it is true, or backs off. Ryan continues to insist on repeating known falsehoods, to the extent that even Fox Cable News lamented his dishonesty.

George Dennehy was born without arms, but he plays guitar like a pro. How? The 18-year-old from Ashland, Virginia uses his feet. Last month, Dennehy uploaded his performance of “Iris” by The Goo Goo Dolls to YouTube. The performance was recorded during the Ashland Strawberry Faire; Dennehy is a 2012 Strawberry Faire Scholarship recipient. The video collected only a small number of views, until Dennehy posted the link on Reddit and it shot to the front page of the site in less than 24 hours.

I really wish people would take the time to read this then look it up if you don’t think it’s true. This is how you make a president look like he failed. You then have easy sailing to get your guy in. After he’s in they stop the filibusterers to make their side look like winners. It’s a simple formula for the Republican politicians, who are mostly comprised of fat cats who can out spend everyone else and want to make sure they keep their money. I’m just saying. – Carol

Seriously, no President in history has ever faced such complete obstructionism as this president has. These Republicans don’t just want Obama to fail, they want the country to fail. – Jeff
