tarvin here on the news you need to know this vice presidential candidate paul
ryan address the r_n_c_ last night
after getting his name right pretty much everything that followed was a blatant
liar half truth

history of american political conventions ryan rattled off lie after
lie after lie against president obama
defused president obama promising to keep open g_m_ plant wisconsin that
eventually closed down
only president obama never made that promise
and the flat actually closed down in december two thousand aids
a month before obama was even sworn in as president george w bush was in the
white house for a nap plant closed ickies president obama raiding medicare
to pay for obama care in reality president obama extended the life of
medicare by eight years
his reforms were self active the paul reid himself borrowed them for his own
budget
he claimed the president was responsible for our nation's credit downgrade last
year
even though s_n_p_ explicitly call that house republicans like paul ryan
who refuse to raise taxes as a
primary reason for the downgrade
he promised that he would keep medicare intact for future seniors
even those budget plan ends medicare as we know it forcing future seniors to pay
thousands of dollars more
every year for health care
delaware republicans can win this year is by lying
last night paul ryan proved it
bigger picture here is this
economic world view being preached by paul ryan mitt romney in the rest of the
right for the last thirty years but we shouldn't that we should rely on
so-called corporate free markets

roads to prisons is a complete n autre

and saturday these hucksters who want more of the same after rely on lies to
fool the american people

person each year on health care as france germany the u_k_
the u_s_ is increasingly falling behind these countries in terms of progress in
lowering the potentially preventable death rate
