Romney/Ryan have not been having a good week. And, it's their first week as a team.

It's like shooting fish in a barrel!

"We can't have no edgeumacated liburl askin' questions with big words in em, that's an unfair trick...Rush Limbaa said so.'"

And I can see Rachel saying something along the lines of..."Congressman, if you didn't understand the question, I can rephrase it for you, if you need me to, PLEASE say so..."

<snip>
After repeated denials, Paul Ryan has admitted he requested stimulus cash even after sharply criticizing the program.

As recently as Wednesday in Ohio, Mitt Romney's running mate told ABC's Cincinnati affiliate, WCPO, he did not.

"I never asked for stimulus," Ryan said. "I don't recall… so I really can't comment on it. I opposed the stimulus because it doesn't work, it didn't work."

Two years ago, during an interview on WBZ's NewsRadio he was asked by a caller if he "accepted any money" into his district. Ryan said he did not.

"I'm not one [of those] people who votes for something then writes to the government to ask them to send us money. I did not request any stimulus money," the congressman answered.

But as we've now learned, Ryan did write letters. He did request stimulus funds.

from this:
I got mine, so fuck yours..

to this:
IF you manage to get yours, I'll take what I can of it, and it will be YOUR fault for giving me what I asked for.

As an aside, stuff like this is why the Media gets labeled as Liberally Biased...Good journalism ASKS these kinds of questions, and reports the answers they find, and the mind of Authoritarian Conservatives would rather they just "Trust Us" when we tell them something. We need a law that says if you run a broadcast news rag (and you want to call it "news&quot , then that hour has to be not-for-profit, all the money you make selling ads during that broadcast has to be put back into that program to make it better. Otherwise, you have to call it entertainment. Faux "Entertainment" would be bankrupt in 2 weeks.

Repub voters can't stand money being wasted and think that the stimulus was a waste.

a. they didn't know that Bush had a stimulus
b. Ryan took the stimulus money yet complained about it

Their whole policy on the economy (if there was one) is extinquished
