Lyin' Ryan's Tales of Deceit

How can we summarize the endless series of tall tales, half-truths and outright lies that emanated from the lineup of Rethugs and their VP candidate Paul "Lyin'" Ryan's speech last night? From the attempts to disguise their reactionary agenda on the economy, women and the environment, to little details, the Rethugs and their VP choice were in tip-top form last night. As Hunter from the Daily Kos notes about Lyin':

"We were then treated to a very special performance from the greatest bullshit artist in politics today, and therefore not coincidentally the special honoree of the evening, one Paul Ryan. Think a young, crooked Nixon channeling the theories of Ayn Rand, putting it through the sausage grinder of Orwell's worst fears, and delivering it with the smirking assurance of a Baghdad Bob. Obama closed a GM plant in Janesville, he snarled, not mentioning that the time-traveling plant had shuttered before Barack Obama ever entered the White House."

The lies are spelled out further in this account. Worth a read to understand what the President and Dems are up against: a Rethug ticket and a party unafraid of boldly lying to the public, backed by hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign funds, much of it unaccountable.
