Ya Only one side does this (in your mind) we know On the other hand Some of the fact checkers you love today need fact checked Not that you care"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

rushmc 23 #3 August 30, 2012 And since this is a thread about both sides of ones mouth, how about ShcShc11 tread about the Bin Laden raid? Or, do you think only republicans do what you post?"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

rushmc 23 #11 August 30, 2012 I will fully dispute that Ryan did not lie (as you and the dems are spinning it) that is a fabrication you swallowed hook line and sinker"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

billvon 3,132 #12 August 30, 2012 >I will fully dispute that Ryan did not lie Six top lies: 1. “A downgraded America.” Ryan blamed the president for the nation’s credit downgrade in August 2011 after Republicans threatened to allow the government to default on its debt for the first time in history. But the ratings agency explicitly blamed “Republicans saying that they refuse to accept any tax increases as part of a larger deal.” 2. “More debt than any other president before him, and more than all the troubled governments of Europe combined.” Romney has made the almost identical claim, that Obama has amassed more debt “as almost all of the other presidents combined.” But their math doesn’t add up: when Obama took office, the national debt was $10.626 trillion. It has increased to slightly above $15 trillion. 3. Shuttered General Motors plant is “one more broken promise.” Ryan described a GM plant that closed down in his hometown, Janesville, Wisconsin, and blamed Obama for breaking his promise to keep the plant open when he visited during his campaign. But Obama never made that promise, and the plant shut down in December 2008, before Obama even took office. 4. Obama “did exactly nothing” on Bowles-Simpson. Ryan said, “He created a bipartisan debt commission. They came back with an urgent report. He thanked them, sent them on their way, and then did exactly nothing.” In fact, Ryan was instrumental in sabotaging the commission, leading the other House Republicans in voting against the plan. 5. “$716 billion, funneled out of Medicare by President Obama.” Ryan’s favorite lie is a deliberate distortion of Obamacare’s savings from eliminating inefficiencies. Furthermore, Ryan’s own plan for Medicare includes these savings. Romney has vowed to restore these cuts, which would render the trust fund insolvent 8 years ahead of schedule. 6. “The greatest of all responsibilities is that of the strong to protect the weak.” Ryan closed the speech with an invocation of social responsibility, saying, “The truest measure of any society is how it treats those who cannot defend or care for themselves.” However, numerous clergy members have condemned Ryan’s budget plan as “cruel,” and “an immoral disaster” because of its devastating cuts in social programs the poor and sick rely on. Meanwhile, Ryan would give ultra-rich individuals and corporations $3 trillion in tax breaks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rushmc 23 #19 August 30, 2012 From Sally's website QuoteFox News asked me to write the liberal response to Paul Ryan’s GOP convention speech last night. What I find most interesting is, if you read what she wrote, her points are the exact same talking points of all the other libs bashing Ryan's speech Not much originality from any of them You almost wonder if Axlrod wrote it for them"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
