Obama Campaign Shreds ‘Lies’ in Ryan Speech (from ABC, no less)

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/08/obama-campaign-shreds-lies-in-ryan-speech/

=snip= It would appear that ABC is on OUR side...

Democrats claim that perhaps the rankest hypocrisy from Ryan came when he slammed Obama for not embracing the deficit-reduction proposals of the Simpson-Bowles Commission. “He thanked them, sent them on their way and did exactly nothing,” Ryan said last night. Left unsaid is that Ryan, who was a member of the panel, voted against the same plan.


Hee hee-- Dems get the last word in the article:

=snip=

Obama campaign manager Stephanie Cutter...argued today that Ryan demonstrated that his and Romney’s campaign has an open strategy of defying the truth.

“Two days ago, a senior adviser to Mitt Romney said, and I quote, ‘We’re not going to be beholden to fact checks,’” she said, referring to comments earlier this week by Romney pollster Neil Newhouse. “They proved that last night.”

Although, sadly, since this was written, Lyin Ryan got in an interview with Diane Sawyer where (presumably) he lies his way out of his speech that was all lies. I like to think he's stepping in it.
