then they did the story where Ryan has been lying about Obama's fault the automobile plant shut down in his district. Of course, they did say that it shut down while Bush was in office...but they still tried to make Ryan look good by saying he tried to help them as much as he could. So I guess the answer is that it is ok for him to be lying..they think fibbing sounds better

A fib is where you tell somebody they don't look fat in that outfit, or where you say you didn't eat the last cookie in the jar.

Lying is what Ryan and Romney are doing. They are saying things that are just plain false, and not by mistake, either.

Fibbing. My fat white ass.

And yes, he is lying. Constantly. Because whenever a repuke opens his trap, a lie comes out.
