Part typical politician, part Republican.
yup.
Normally I wouldn't even blink about him lying, er, forgetting what his marathon pr is. But two reasons I will comment:
a) a few years ago john kerry said he jumped in as a bandit in boston one year, and didn't remember the time he ran or exact year. The right wingers on here had a field day saying he HAD to be lying even though he didn't claim any great time (in fact, no time at all). So turnabout is fair play here. (and ryan has proven to be a liar this time, unlike last time)
b) while all politicians lie and fudge numbers, Ryan/Romney have taken this to a new low. Romney of course is the flip flopper par excellence who has changed his position on nearly every possible issue I can think of, and Ryan is famous for budget plans that are supposed to be honest, fair, moderate blue-prints for our country's economic health, while in reality they are the most extreme right wing prescription of cutting programs for the poor and giving tax cuts (YET AGAIN!) for the rich. And he includes absolute beyond-belief-claims that he will cut all non-discetionary spending to something like 3% of gdp, when the well-guarded military spending is something like 4.5% BY ITSELF!
He's a scam artist of the highest order. Glad to see it's becoming more obvious.
