Paul Ryan is a pathological liar. I’m completely convinced of this.

Any student, woman or older American that casts a vote for him will deserve exactly what they get, should that ticket win the election.

Republicans can’t seem to ‘win’ a ‘debate’ with a empty chair… literally.

What was their recent quote? …’we won’t let fact-checkers dictate our campaign’
Reminds me of the Decider and his administration’s “you reality based people”

“We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”

The country is just getting to know this Paul Ryan guy… verdict so far: serial liar. Classic R. Tax cuts for rich folks, destroy the New Deal, Great Society, all safety nets and bingo! All the unicorns and ponies mean way more jobs than under the Kenyan Usurper, duh!

on that parenting and lying thing: Ryan needs to be asked what he had for dinner with his brother last night when all this ribbing was going on.

i’m a squeamish better, but i’d put a lot down that he didn’t have dinner with his brother. that statement is all jiu jistsu deflection.

He’s run only one marathon, so he lied to hewitt about that, inferring he runs marathans. and he’s slower than a sarah palin w several kids.

voted most likely to brown nose by his classmates.

i love your piece and that you have the parental patience to give the guy the benefit of doubt

Nope; magazines tend not to lie about stuff like that, since editorial credibility is one of the main elements of their value proposition. And as it turns out, Ryan has confessed (sort of), at least to the 4-hour time being his actual marathon time. See the update I’m about to add to the item.

It seems runner’s world is lying, why would they use a twenty year’s old time when he said he ran it in high school? That could easily have been 4 years earlier.

We have an incumbent with a failed presidency, he can’t run on his record so he has to run on tearing the other guys down, happens everytime.
