A quick summary of Ryan's lies. http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/187...-created-6-8-trillion-in-deficits-under-bush/ Boo Boo is smarter than the average Republican budget expert. Yogi says so.
Good news for Republicans on the Clint Eastwood fiasco. Nobody watched. http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytime...-indicator-of-convention-bounce/?ref=politics
I don't think Clint was a disaster. He brought some life to the crowd and in the end he is still Clint Eastwood who just plain "cool" in the minds of millions across several generations. Even in this speech where it was kind of weird, he is still one cool dude.
I used to like him in his Sugarfoot TV Western show. I can still sing the theme song. Then around 1971 he started playing a policeman who angrily kills young anti-Vietnam radicals and snarls with a curled lip when he burns them up with a missile. Nothing to dislike there.

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/pub...ministration/daily_presidential_tracking_poll The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows Mitt Romney attracting support from 47% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns 44% of the vote. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and six percent (6%) are undecided. As expected, Romney is enjoying a modest bounce from the past week's Republican National Convention. He trailed the president by two when the convention began and is up by three today. See daily tracking history. He also has gained ground in the swing state tracking results updated daily for subscribers at 10:00 a.m. Eastern. It will take a few more days to fully measure the bounce. This update is based on nightly interviews and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. As a result, roughly two-thirds of the interviews were conducted before Romney’s speech to the convention Thursday night. Next week is Obama’s convention which should produce its own bounce.
Outside of Clintons huge bump, have the conventions made much of a difference in the last 20+ years? hm, 20 years ago WAS Clintons bump, so 32 years?
Paul Ryan's Lie-A-Day strategy has struck again. In a nationally telecast radio interview, the #1 Republican Numbers Wonk ("We haven't run the numbers yet" on the budget he advocates) lied that he used to run marathons in the plural (he has run one in his life) and told a giant whopper about the time, cutting it by over an hour. He was caught only after dodging Runners World magazine's questions, since he knew he was lying. http://news.runnersworld.com/2012/08/31/paul-ryan-says-hes-run-sub-300-marathon/
As a former numbers wonk myself, I have to admit that this guy is up to holding Cheney's VP job of lying us into wars.
I think him "lying" about the marathon is really not worth getting upset about, or even bringing up. It's a papag type move. ooh no, he lied about a marathon! the guy obviously can't be trusted.
I meant how many times have the guy who was "ahead" before conventions lost after the conventions. I'd guess not very frequently.
His whole claim to fame is his budget which would kill milions of Americans. He's the Republican with the green eyeshades, the Big Bookkeeper. If he lies about numbers, that cuts to the essence of his fraudulent talent. This is important.
Well, it is a pretty blatant lie, if an unimportant one. I kind of doubt the passage of time transforms 4 hours, 1 minute into two hour and fifty-something. If he'd said 3 hours, 1 minute, I could believe he just got mixed up. barfo
I will continually compare you to him until you put another one of my quotes in your signature file, you tomato can!
