Romney and Ryan have something in common: Lying

According to PolitiFact (which you should take with a grain of salt because no fact-checker is 100% accurate):

Of the 14 Paul Ryan statements ruled on by Politifact

only 4 are true or mostly true

8 are half true or mostly false

2 are pants on fire including the claim that Obama has doubled the size of government.

Granted, PolitiFact is not always reliable and they probably tend to rate statements that are false more than those that are true. I just thought DU would find this interesting seeing how blatantly dishonest Rmoney has been in this campaign.

I don't think Ryan will have any problem being a typical Rethug in this campaign. Rmoney has lowered the bar and Ryan will limbo all the way until November.
