  A thinker Mr. Ryan may be, he certainly thinks better of the truth.
  His major convention speech has been poured over, I will not put the whole lot here because the text contains many links to the speech itself and many other points, but here we see he lies about the big stuff too...
  
  Government debt
  
  " [Obama] 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 early 2010 Obama created a bipartisan committee known as Bowles-Simpson to figure out how to balance the budget and hand its recommendations to the president. The final draft of the committee's report failed to win the necessary support of its members, however, falling three votes short. Paul Ryan was on the committee, a fact that he neglected to mention in his speech. In the straw poll on the final draft, he voted "no" - against the plan that he now accuses the president of ignoring.

  Funny isn't it when you want to take over the rains of power, you will always leave out the important little bits said in the past.

  A superb article by Tom McCarthy.....he should be encouraged to compare Mitt and Ryan
  
  with Cameron and Osborne prior to the 2010 election.....there is a correlation with the
  
  USA jokers......
  
  
  .....just lookat all the `U` turns and promises not to make any changes to the NHS.....

  The Guardian and BBC don't like him and clearly Reg and Tom don't either so he must be a good bloke.

  As a 'bloke', Barry, I know him no less than he knows the truth, and I don't know him at all.

  read many reports on this man from different sources, he is just a cardboard cut out.
  
  much better to listen to an octogenarian clint eastwood ramble at length to a totally embarrassed audience.
  
  said more words than in his entire hollywood career.
