Yeah, PAUL RYAN Is Also A DICK

HERE IS A DICK.

Paul Ryan better PRAY that his so-called ' bunch of friends ' don't speak up on a political commercial calling out Ryan on his lies. Hmm, hope the Dems are on top of this one.




As we saw a short while ago, Paul Ryan is retroactively blaming Pres. Barack Obama for a plant closing, in Ohio, in 2008.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/08/17/1121306/-Paul-Ryan-blames-Obama-for-GM-plant-closed-in-2008-under-Bush
He's got this whole spiel about Obama's terrible energy policies and how they doomed the plant. I can't wait to see if he amends his criticism, since it would've been George W. Bush's energy policies that doomed the plant.


But an interesting side story has emerged from this episode. You see—while Obama had nothing to do with that plant, as a representative from Wisconsin, Ryan happened to represent the district that was home to that plant. In fact, he claimed today that a bunch of his friends happened to work at it.


So if he represents the home of that plant, and he's got friends who work there ... he fights to keep it open, right? Of course not.

In 2008, however, Ryan vowed not to request earmarks anymore; he later helped push through an outright ban. I asked [John Beckord, a Ryan supporter and the head of Forward Janesville,] whether Ryan’s libertarianism ever clashed with the needs of his constituents. He hesitated, then said, finally, "I suppose there could have been a full-court press to just cobble together as much federal money as possible on our behalf to make it irresistible for G.M. to keep this plant open."

In other words, Ryan did nothing to try and stop the closing of a major employer in his town, one that supposedly employed a bunch of his friends.


That's called being a dick.


The fact that he then tries to pin the blame on Obama just confirms that he's a big one.

1. Very nice find! K&R and Bookmarked!

[JaneyVee]

2. Great ammo for the Obama team next time they stop through Wisconsin.

The entire premise of the OP would make a great Obama ad.

5. Worse than I thought...

which is to say I thought he was worse than Romney who is probably the worst person on the planet barring cold blooded murderers. But, I think he is about that bad, only he does it with capitol and keeps his hands "clean". Yeah, I really don't have words to describe how bad this duo is.

9. It Is Like I Posted on Thinkprogress.org Earlier

I will give this much to Paul Ryan. He is a fast learner in the art of telling a lie. Even the art of lying to explain the original lie. He will fit right in with Romney in that department. When their lips are moving they are lying — now how sad is that?
