What Shall Rachel & Tweety Think of Paul Ryan's Great Speech?

[kentay]

Did Obama cut $700 billion from Medicare?but they disagree over the best path forward. We have generally given Republicans Two Pinocchios for such claims.

For those who live and die by Politiact.  I read it to, have the app, but I also rad WAPO factchecker and of act check.org.  politifact has a tendency to be very literal when fact checking left wing talking points in order to sway a little left.

Its recent rulings on Medicare have demonstrated the point thrice over. PolitiFactsaidzingedcallshttp://www.nationalreview.com/articles/315125/politifiction-editors

The claim in this campaign ad is not true.http://factcheck.org/2012/08/a-campaign-full-of-mediscare/

[Woody]

Notice kentay tales the link I posted for him and cherry picks what's erroneous in the Romney claim yet ignores the Obama dishonesty.  That is the difference between a normal person and a demobot posting as an Obamabot. 


But guess what?  I knew he would. 


Great job kentay!   :applause:

[Woody]

Notice Kentay did not wispy to discuss what the Chief Actuary of Medicare said about BOTH plans. 


Why is that kentay?  Shall I get more kentay?

That's nice and all that, but it seems to me you guys should rip Ryan just over his words, sounding exactly like a bleedin' heart liberal.  You know cons use that term to deride liberals with--and it's because that sort of thing just isn't in a con's political DNA.

I'll take this as Clara's veiled acceptance that Ryan's plan is not what she and liberals claimed it was.

The Vacuum Behind the Slogans

The party platform mentions a few Medicaid details, but not a word of the real plan has been uttered at the convention microphone. The best way to duck the tough issues, apparently, is simply to claim very loudly that you are doing the opposite.

Clara doesn't accept your non sequitur.

Paul Ryan's Misleading GOP Convention Speech
Thursday August 30, 2012

Republican VP candidate Paul Ryan delivers a speech that is more about big ideas than it is about facts -- ideas like "Lying is handy."

Yeah, kentay uses Colbert to factcheck the factcheckers!

 :didie:

[clistensprechen]

Colbert's got more factual true facts than the whole raft of Republicans running for office this year.  :popcorn:
