Ryan-Palin

Remember how excited the Republican-right-wing-lunatic-fringe base was when McCain named (was forced to name?) Palin? Remember how she scared the undecided like a terrorist? Paul Ryan's "speech" - lyin' ryan - was, I'm beginning to suspect, the turning point of the campaign, Romney's - pick a battle (Gettysburgh?).

People have too much access to information. The obvious lie won't work like it used to.

Ryan and therefore Romney have proven, if proof was needed, they cannot be trusted. That's a death-knell in politics.

If the media was being more cutthroat in calling out Reamus/Reckage on their blatant lies, it would help.
