Romney Reinvents History


The truth, rarely heard this week in Tampa, Fla., is that the Republicans charted a course of denial and obstruction from the day Mr. Obama was inaugurated, determined to deny him a second term by denying him any achievement, no matter the cost to the economy or American security — even if it meant holding the nation’s credit rating hostage to a narrow partisan agenda.

Paul Ryan Loves Government Stimulus

After lying about the stimulus for the last 3 years and causing millions of Americans to suffer needlessly by refusing to help the American people in any way, how nice that the republican party has Paul Ryan, stimulus lover, on the ticket as VP.  Let me tell you a little something about Paul Ryan.  He got his sizable wealth the old fashioned way - he inherited it.  No wonder he wants to cut taxes for himself and other wealthy people while sticking it to the average American, who like Romney, he can't relate to.  Paul Ryan is also an absolute hypocrite and liar.  Here's Ryan in 2002 advocating forcefully and completely for government stimulus spending, including unemployment benefits, to create jobs, help the economy, and reduce the deficit.  I guess that only works when a republican is in the White House.  (try to ignore the Mitt ad at the beginning, I couldn't get rid of it.  Mitt has way more money than integrity or sense.  He's the nothing man.)

Some basic economics - Any spending is someone else's income.  We need to keep the money flowing. So wake up if you think Paul Ryan (or Mitt ) has any integrity or gives a damn about you.

My brother Joe (aka Billy Bob) got himself a ski boat.  This is from our first brothers day out expression session.  "Call my brother Billy Bob, he's got the fastest boat on the whole damn river." Sheriff J.W. Pepper, Live and Let Die, 1973.  "Everybody on the river wants this boat."

Meet Paul Ryan

Was Romney's Ryan Pick Bold or Desperate?

The Audacity of Dopes

 And what about Paul Ryan?

"It's the audacity of dopes. Mr. Ryan isn't offering fresh food for thought; he’s serving up leftovers from the 1990s, drenched in flimflam sauce."
– Paul Krugman in a New York Times column, August 5, 2010

 
"He is, in fact, a big fraud, who doesn’t care at all about fiscal responsibility, and whose policy proposals are sloppy as well as dishonest. Of course, this means that he’ll fit in to the Romney campaign just fine."
– Paul Krugman in a New York Times blog post, August 11, 2012
 
"Is his budget really the most fraudulent in American history? Yes, it is."
– Paul Krugman in a New York Times column, April 1, 2012
