What I have read is point by point comparison of what Ryan said to what are called FACTS and how those facts differ from what Ryan said. When someone makes a speech that is demonstrably false, call me old fashioned, but we call that speech lies and the person who made that speech a liar.
The real question to be asked is why would someone other than a completely brainwashed partisan admire Ryan and Rmoney who have been shown to be complete liars?
Do you expect anything different from Obama/Biden/et al during the Democratic Convention? Surely you're not that hacked up, are you?
Genuine fact check: Paul Ryan told the EXACT TRUTH about Janesville, WI GM plant!
In his speech to the RNC on Aug. 29, 2012, Paul Ryan described a GM plant in his hometown of Janesville, WI, and said that Barack Obama had given a speech there in 2008, saying that if government supported it, the plant would be there for another 100 years. And that after Obama took office, the plant had then closed.
The usual leftist fanatics have been screaming ever since, that Ryan lied about it.
So, what's the truth?
It's quite simple: It's the Obots who are lying. Paul Ryan told the exact truth.
Obama's speech was given at the Janesville plant on Feb. 13, 2008. It was open during that period. Obama said, "I believe that if our government is there to support you, and give you the assistance you need to re-tool and make this transition, that this plant will be here for another hundred years."
Obama took office on Jan. 20, 2009. And the Janesville GM plant remained open until April 23, 2009... on which day it closed.
The Obots on MSNBC have been screaming that Paul Ryan lied about this plant in some unspecified way.
But it is now clear that the liars are Ed Schultz and Al Sharpton of MSNBC.
As usual.
The Democrats are so bankrupt, so bereft of ideas and substance, that they must now accuse Republicans of lying when they clearly didn't. When it's easy to demonstrate the truth of what the Republicans said.
The left/Democrats would not be fighting back so hard if they did not genuinely think that Romney/Ryan has an upper hand and real chance to win this election. Unlike 2008, the Democrats are now running on fear and division and the GOP is grabbing the mantle of optimism and change.
Powell is not interested, either. I think that both of these people just don't want to take part in all the nastiness that is involved in the campaigns.
I was disappointed when Powell endorsed Obama. He regrets that now.

The plant was largely closed in December 2008 when production of General Motors SUVs was ceased — before Obama was sworn in. A small crew of about 100 workers completed a contract for production of medium-duty trucks for Isuzu Motors, which ended in April 2009.
Note that Ryan called the plant “locked up” rather than “shut down.” That’s because the plant has not been completely shut down; it remains on “standby” and could reopen if GM production reaches the right level, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
“The plant in Janesville remains in ‘standby’ status waiting for the recovery – and jobs – President Obama said would come with his bailout of the auto industry,” said Ryan spokesman Brendan Buck. “When the president picked his winners and losers, Janesville lost.”
It was slated to close in Dec. Obama came in said his gov would help keep it open. It still closed. Ryan was right and the media/liberals sick at lying, again
Why 26? Why not 30 or 35? Let's stretch out the dependency as LONG as possible. BTW, that's really generous of Obama to offer that, considering it's not his money.
The parents are paying the premium to private insurance companies for young people- who use health insurance the least.
It's good for the insurance business who, otherwise, would not be receiving nearly as much in premiums for people in this age group. Everyone, especially republicans should LOVE it! It's good for families, good for providing health care if needed, and good for business.
The Democrats are so bankrupt, so bereft of ideas and substance, that they must now accuse Republicans of lying when they clearly didn't. When it's easy to demonstrate the truth of what the Republicans said.
=-Paul Ryan's lackluster and rather dull speech which was full of cliches, frat boy bravado...and no real substance
Granted...he's not a great speaker that Obama is...but then again, maybe the Romney administration will get things done.
