I propose that even though Paul Ryan is an elitist, and that's one of his major flaws, his awful speech (whose false claims were abundantly debunked by many Media outlets) should be used as proof that he is a liar.
I have a feeling that Ryan is worse than Palin in the sense that we have been told he is a highly intelligent man. That means that either he is purposely spreading falsehoods, or he is simply a dumbass just like Palin was.
Gore was depicted as a liar and it worked despite the "lies" being truths. This time the lies are lies.
Since the debunked claims are all over the internet and have been for a while, it's obvious Ryan knew he wasn't telling the truth.
The above strategy should be pursued in my opinion.

(90,335 posts)...voters of every stripe ACCEPT some level of lying so going after integrity is more back and forth and nothing new.
But saying this guy is about as stupid as Bush gets because .... gets the person to back down faster especially the more overt the lie

(191 posts)To them the GOP has been a complete joke this election. All the hate and fear mongering combined with outright lies. The few intelligent people they had in the party that know how to fact check are becoming increasingly disillusioned.

(55 posts)I'm surprised that the press has actually reported on all his lies as they have. Good for them!!! Stephanie Cutter, on Andrea Mitchell this afternoon, actually did a wonderful job of calling Ryan on his lies. She said flat out that he was lying. I was glad she did. He needs to be exposed.
