Paul Ryan’s speech in 3 words

This is in part how Fox News sums up Paul Ryan's speech. 

1. Dazzling
2. Deceiving
3. Distracting

1. Dazzling

Mitt Romney has been catastrophically struggling and with his speech, Ryan humanized himself and presumably by extension, the top of the ticket.

2. Deceiving

On the other hand, to anyone paying the slightest bit of attention to facts, Ryan’s speech was an apparent attempt to set the world record for the greatest number of blatant lies and misrepresentations slipped into a single political speech. On this measure, while it was  Romney who ran the Olympics, Ryan earned the gold.

The good news is that the Romney-Ryan campaign has likely created dozens of new jobs among the legions of additional fact checkers that media outlets are rushing to hire to sift through the mountain of cow dung that flowed from Ryan’s mouth. Said fact checkers have already condemned certain arguments that Ryan still irresponsibly repeated.

3. Distracting

And then there’s what Ryan didn’t talk about.

Ryan didn’t mention his extremist stance on banning all abortions with no exception for rape or incest, a stance that is out of touch with 75% of American voters.

Ryan didn’t mention his previous plan to hand over Social Security to Wall Street.

Ryan didn’t mention his numerous votes to raise spending and balloon the deficit when George W. Bush was president.

Ryan didn’t mention how his budget would eviscerate programs that help the poor and raise taxes on 95% of Americans in order to cut taxes for millionaires and billionaires even further and increase — yes, increase —the deficit.

The point is that even the rabid REPUBLICAN backers at Fox think Ryan is a  big fat liar.

Speeches are nonsense.  Convention speeches are worse than your average speech.  I don't expect much better from the Democrats.


The only campaign events worth watching are debates (and even then, only if set up correctly), where each side can be expected to call the other side out when they make some sort or another of misrepresentation.

I did miss Chris Matthew this AM and agree with you Jane about the no interest in RNC, but simply shocked to see Fox New dishing Ryan.  One can't help but to see some news, if on a news channel since it all over now.

Glad you did come across it.


I'm a nite owl and laughed myself silly at Bill Maher's political chat on Leno last night.

 Too bad I miss Leno too.  I love Bill Maher.  He's a wonderful comedian imo. Laughing
