Many years ago, I ate many Marathon bars!
Yummy!

Paul Ryan ran a sub 3 marathon, and now you can too, just sit back and let Paul figure it for you.

http://www.paulryantimecalculator.com/

He uses the same method to figure out how he's going to balance the budget while lowering taxes and increasing defense spending.

The Romney-Ryan method for telling the supposed "truth."

1. Tell a lie.

2. Repeat it again and again, and deny that it is a lie to all who ask.

3. Keep repeating process for all lies until enough gullible and uninformed Americans think that the lies are true.

Such Republican BS!

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/polit...

mjoseph, given Ryan's exaggerated claims, I think your #3 is a bit off. I expect Ryan to claim he is half Black, half Native American and half Caucasian.

Or there are 57 states and it's too hot out to talk about details...oh wait, that was the other guys...never mind.

Based on Paul Ryan's many lies told at the Republican Convention, I imagine in the next few weeks he will tell Americans that he:

1. Was an astronaut who walked on the moon on the same mission as Neil Armstrong?

2. Discovered America.

3. Is half Black and half Native American.

The new Romney-Ryan campaign slogan should be: "We believe in LYING to America!"

I misstated they bus them in to Thursday's speech for fake enthusiasm the same way they vote.
You need ID to get in for Obama's speech.

Not only did they cancel all Monday events they moved to a smaller facility.

Oh look, ‘Fact check’ follies And other media miscues...

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/ope...

http://snltranscripts.jt.org/85/85bliar....

I think if I only run 1 marathon I would remember how long it took. It's not like running a dozen and trying to remember every one. That being said why even being up the fact you ran 1 marathon? You want all the runners votes?

Ryan should be running out of pants...they keep catching fire with all his lies....

RYAN LIES !

Ryan seems to have a BIG problem telling people the truth.
"RYAN CAUGHT USING PERFORMANCE ENHANCING RHETORIC"
http://thepaulryanwatch.blogspot.com/

dtb - It is about time that more people start to hold these crooks & liars accountable for what they say.

If a marathon time gets 150 comments, I can't wait for the next budget debate.

"Never mind the Dem convention has cancelled a day due to lack of interest and they are bussing in crowds for Thursday due to lack of enthusiasm. 70% fake enthusiam." I hadn't heard this...do you have a link where you read it?

thatwaseasy said, "Oops Paul, you need to remember every detail of your entire life to the nano secord or the left will be all over that."

No, we don't expect it to the "nano secord," or the nanosecond for that fact, but getting the accuracy within, say, 33% or so would be nice. I imagine his budget proposal has less than 33% accuracy. But, you'd be happy to make apologies for that as well, wouldn't you?

"Two hours and fifty-something" to "just over four hours." Think about that. That's off by over an hour on an event he claimed lasted just under three hours. That's the equivalent of a person with a 2.9 GPA claiming they had a 4.0+ GPA. Now come on, all of you apologists led by bowlgal and mayhem08, let's get real. Yes, this happened 22 years ago, but every person I know that has been out of school for 22 years, or longer and had GPA's under 3, KNOW that they weren't valedictorians of their class!

This isn't a matter of incorrectly recalling his marathon time. It's another case of him saying untrue things and getting caught at it. Except now, he has an army of apologists slapping his back and saying, "It's OK to lie, Paul; all Americans are liars!"

They fill a stadium the same way they vote.

Oops Paul, you need to remember every detail of your entire life to the nano secord or the left will be all over that.

Never mind the Dem convention has cancelled a day due to lack of interest and they are bussing in crowds for Thursday due to lack of enthusiasm. 70% fake enthusiam.

The left wing media is so quick with gotchya moments they forget to remember Obama. Charging Romney with putting his dog on the car, they forgot Obama actually ATE a dog. Charging Romney with bullying a gay boy (whos family said never happened-another left wing lie) they forget Obama (in his book) beat up a girl.

It's the economy stupid.

...the depths of despair in this campaign by the left moving to phychotic.
It may move the base but for Republicans and Independents, it looks desperate.

When are you Republican supporters ever going to see the TRUTH TO THEIR LIE AFTER LIE,,, It not just about this LIE it is everytime the share something there is a LIE IN IT. I would be so ashamed to support these guys as they continue with the lies and try to say things like Ryan and OH it is a mistake A LIE IS A LIE!!!! BTW he has spit many of his LIES lately But then you Repubs will say he made a mistake. GET A CLUE they are lying to get your vote and then when you have nothing they can say well you knew we were lying and you believed us. The truth to their lies is they have suckers like you who believe that being dishonest is acceptable. WELL NOT ME.

Bowlgal the link you provided as to Obama's Lie on his Mother is a true Right wing BS link

A man who lies about dunking a basketball will lie about anything. And apparently has.
Obama Biography full of embellishments.

..What else is new?

RetiredAirForce: TYPO - Sorry: You are always so quick to bash the "left" for lies like the "right" never does it. Then when the right gets called on the carpet, your response is, look you did it too! Glad to see you can finally agree that BOTH sides LIE!

RetiredAirForce - You are always so quick to bash the "left" for lies like the "right" never does it. Then when the right gets called on the carpet, you'response is, look, you did it too! Glad to see you can finally agree that BOTH sides LIE!

Bowlgal - I never understood how someone can post from these extremist sites and think they are helping convince others of their positions. They only serve those who already suffer from some form of paranoia.

RetiredAirForce - Tell us all something we DON'T KNOW. They ALL lie!

Evan when given evidence, the left shoves it collective head in the sand.

THERE IS A SURPRISE, RYAN AND THE REPUBLICANS ALL ARE LIARS PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

Obama Lied About Mother's Health Insurance Woes

http://advanceindiana.blogspot.com/2011/...

His own Mother?

So Obama lied to the Illinois bar about 'Barry Soetoro'
http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=177&f...

They just keep coming. Still fixated on Ryan?

Book Reveals Lies in Obama Autobiography

A right wing propaganda book

David Maraniss is an associate editor at the Washington Post, and he is the author of Barack Obama: The Story.

The mythologies range from early on when, for instance, in high school in his memoir he says that he wasn't a starter on his basketball team because he "played black" and the coach "coached white." Of course I discovered that, in fact, Barack Obama was about the eighth or ninth best player on that team, that he was one of the few players who couldn't dunk the ball. So it had nothing to do with race.

Blowgal is a perfect example of one
who has fallen under the influence
of right wing propaganda.
Oh, the humanity!

Talk about running a marathon.

The leader of our country sure does a lot of "misspeaking". What is the left calling this on the site?

Obama Lied: Buffet and His Secretary Pay the Same Tax Rate

http://godfatherpolitics.com/3352/obama-...

I had no idea the amount of lies and misstated remarks by our President. I thought I'd throw up 3 or 4 but they just keep piling up.

Focus on Ryan's one.
"None so blind as those that will not see.”
“None so empty as those who are full of themselves.”

Blind to the left? No Good American, open to the left. Open to the lies and lengths the media and others go through to NOT talk about Obama's record.
Ryan's "misstated" length of a 22 year old event is so minor to the examples I have given you of our Liar in chief.

-You can focus on Ryan and be a hypocrite. I am focusing on my pocket book and this devastated economy on Obama. Call Ryan a liar if you must but remember the examples I've given you. Blindness is on you not me.

http://www.realistnews.net/Thread-obama-...

7 times in 2 mintes.
Sorry, "misstated"

Obama lied, Solyndra died
The Obama administration is joined at the hip to Solyndra, the company that in happier days manufactured solar panels. The Obama administration touted Solydra as a model. According to Obama, Solyndra pointed the way to the future. It served as the administration’s flagship example of using taxpayers’ money to boost clean energy manufacturing and create jobs.

From the Washington Post, news that the Obama administration completely lied about the killing of bin Laden being in self-defense

Bowlgal - "It's so easy to misstate a fact that happened more the 22 years ago..." Yes...this seems to be the case when the right talks about how great Reagan was.

gopper - Sep 1, 2012 at 10:12 p.m. It was nice to see an HONEST Republican post for a change! Good job!

No Good American. My point is to show how insane some of you people can be for a misspoken time on a marathon race that happened 22 years ago but you free pass one of the worse offenders of the truth we've seen in decades.

http://obamalies.net/list-of-lies

Here's another one. examples:
"I’ve done more for Israel’s security than any President ever"
--Obama aided Islamic Extremists take over of Egypt/ Libya – Weapons pour into Gaza

"I will walk on that picket line with you, if workers are denied the right to bargain." - he must have "misspoke" on this one too.

This story is about Paul Ryan,
as was the convention.
Every time you try to make it about Obama,
you look as foolish as Clint Eastwood.

http://obamalies.net/

Wow, an entire website logging the President's "mispoken" statements and promises.

Obama lied about Janesville GM auto plant, not Ryan

100 years if only we'd support him. He must have only misstated that remark.

The leader of our country sure does a lot of "misspeaking". What is the left calling this on the site?

Obama: "Plant will be here for another 100 YEARS... right here in Janesville, WI."

http://youtu.be/4TsV_Z0NPCA

Later in the day, Obama told reporters that he misspoke. Bachmann suggested that helps prove a liberal media bias. "

The truth is only worth getting to if it is a Republican.

President Obama misspoke and did not intend to mislead the public when he said AARP had endorsed his health care legislation

Constitutional law scholar Laurence Tribe, a former mentor to Obama, said the president "obviously misspoke" when he made comments about the Supreme Court

I've only been logged in less then 1/2 hour and found all these Obama "lies" as the left calls them.

Obama Misspoke
While addressing troops of the 10th Mountain Division at Ft. Drum, New York, President Barack Obama mentioned Congressional Medal of Honor recipient SFC Jared Monti as being alive. The only thing was that SFC Monti had, in fact, been killed in action in Afghanistan

White House says Obama 'misspoke' after Poles demand apology over ‘Polish death camp’ remark

To the left, this is okay. To insult another nation.
But don't you dare misspeak about a 22 year old trivial race.

---Obama Concedes He Misspoke
As Obama acknowledged this morning, his mistake was to suggest that many small-town values are formed by cynicism. "You know the truth. It is that these
traditions that are passed on from generation to generation, those are important. That's what sustains us," he told the Muncie audience.

See to the left, this is okay. A free pass

It's so easy to misstate a fact that happened more the 22 years ago and as trivial as saying you have 3 trees in your yard when you have 2. Why won't the media and other fact checkers still do the same for Obama?
We know more about Ryan's mother then we know about Obama even after 4 years as President. It's so disgraceful.

Ryan trying to distance himself from....himself.
.
http://www.statesmanjournal.com/article/...

The term is liar Geno. And if he would lie about a marathon, he will lie about anything and that is concerning.

This one doesn't bother me, really. After all that time, memories can become hazy. I doubt he was trying to slip one past us. But his "fib" about when our GM plant closed? That bothers me. The man is obviously a pathological "fibber".

boring repetitious BS? you kill me usaret... that's your party..... bahhhhhh

He forgot to tell about the time that he wrestled Bigfoot.

You know everyone has to always blame someone,other then ourselves!!
We are the people for the people,and we have failed our people & our country..
I don't know who i am for,if either one,they both have so much dirt to toss around,and it's nothing but a who do you like,or believe most,who can make up the best story,can you imagine what these people think of us morons,if they can talk this way about a person that they have chosen to be in charge of our lives,our country,i have defended,and would,ve died for my country,would these four guys??
To much partying going on in the White House,not enough TCB..
Obama lied,said he would fix the problem he inherited,put people to work,sure he put people to work,does anyone know how many more are employed for the government since he took office,but i don't think that's what we thought his putting people back to work meant!!

usaret; this article isn't about any of those other people. But after doing a little more research, he seems to fall more into the sociopath definition:

"A sociopath is typically defined as someone who lies incessantly to get their way and does so with little concern for others. A sociopath is often goal-oriented (i.e., lying is focused - it is done to get one's way). Sociopaths have little regard or respect for the rights and feelings of others. Sociopaths are often charming and charismatic, but they use their talented social skills in manipulative and self-centered ways."

http://www.truthaboutdeception.com/lying...

Perhaps he SHOULD get help from a mental health professional in order to rule out the pathological label though.

Lie once, it might be a mistake...

Lie twice, it's a habit.

dtd: a bold and unproven statement. Are you a professional in the field that can support your comment on Ryan or did you just learn a new big word? Well your at it did you check the comments made by Ms. Cutter or Ms. Wasserman-Schultz, Mr. Axelrod or Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Carney or are you saying that they don't lie?

I wonder why the career politician Paul Ryan would lie about such a mundane fact as a marathon race time. Hmmm! I think it speaks volumes about his lack of integrity in general. Spin it any way you want; he’s either a liar or just plain stupid.

bassman - nobody really cares what his marathon time was. What's important is that this proves him to be a pathological liar and that's a problem for someone who wants to be VP (and POTUS enventually).

All politicans twist facts, which is pretty much what he is, a career politican. You would think he would be better at it. I would also think he would be careful bringing up anything about GM. He has had four years to bring jobs to his district. Has he done that? Isn't that the big issue and calm he and his running mate are running on?

lovemycountry - this would not even have made the news if Ryan had not been so dishonest in his statements at the convention. He made his honesty or lack thereof a very large issue.

The number of liberal comments jumping on this irrelevant gaffe shows how desperate they have become. Losing election after election has been wearing on them. Now, latest numbers show new voting registrations are going Republican by a 2 to 1 majority. Not a good time to be a Democrat !

SEE:

http://m.staugustine.com/news/local-news...

It is good to see that most of the major newspapers are now looking at the Romney / Ryan claims & saying enough of the made up facts from the Republican campaign. They are calling on them to be honest with the people - INSTEAD - of all of the inaccurate statements & claims they continue to make.

"Paul Ryan WORSE, Than Palin"

http://www.examiner.com/article/paul-rya...

"John McCain Gives Paul Ryan the Palin Kiss Of Death"

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/08/12...

I can't believe that I am going to defend Ryan, but I think it's fair to draw a clear distinction here. Repeated studies show that we all tell these types of lies about ten times daily! They are typical of all h. Sapiens. This may show a lack of self-control for a man of his stature to not better control this tendency in a public interview, but it is not necessarily an indication of a truly dishonest man. On the other hand, the GM comment at the convention was a premeditated comment that demonstrates a willingness to engage in deceit to win at all costs.

hongkong--that MIGHT be relevant if EVERYONE were running for the public office that puts him one step away from being president, AND to be the potential tie-breaker in the Senate. This wasn't a casual 'misrepresentation of the truth'. This was one of at least a half-dozen lies that he made a conscious decision to tell. To suggest otherwise is simply burying your head in the sand.

hongkongexpat, we don't need more apologists that subscribe to the mayhem08 school of thinking that because all Americans are liars it is unfair of Americans to expect honesty from our leaders.

All you holier than thou hypocrites need to get off your high horses. Everybody - and I mean everybody - has lied at one time or another.

Tomtiff--I get your point...but, really...I think lying about the size of the fish you caught, vs. the credibility of the guy who wants to be number two in line to the presidency, are two ENTIRELY different things. Scares me that you (and others, I'm sure) apparently don't see the difference.

usaret -- boring, if predictable that the left will hold the GOP accountable for lying. . . BTW there is a difference to me between a broken promise and a lie about actual facts from past events. Obama has tried to bring his vision forward and has been blocked repeatedly by GOP legislators.

The issue is that lying and misrepresentation of the facts seems to be a way of doing business for the Romney/Ryan campaign. What Romney and Ryan are counting on is that most people don't actually READ anything from a reliable news source. They are hoping to garner the attention of people who simply believe what they hear from whoever is shouting the loudest and whoever will give them some kind of hope to cling to. Their promise to make things better is great - we all want that - but if you actually take time to understand the Republican positions, see who they are being influenced (aka - bought) by you understand that we will all be living off the scraps that happen to trickle down from the top. (don't even get started on Women's health - that is another topic all together) Additionally I am not impressed that Ryan is using the plight of the people of Janesville affected by the closure of GM to further his own agenda. He knows full well that the Obama administration had nothing to do with the closure - it was a done deal - but he is continues to bring it up in hopes of rallying support from people who are looking for anyone to blame. Shame on you Paul Ryan.

mayhem08 said, "They are politicians whether they are republican or democrat they all lie just like every other AMERICAN out there and if you say you have NEVER lied....well thats a lie in itself."

mayhem08, what you're wanting us to believe is that it's really unfair of Americans to expect our leaders to be honest because all Americans are liars. That apologist attitude is not a very encouraging indicator of America's future.

WOW! RYAN is making SARAH PALIN look like a rocket science genius with all of his untruthful claims. The wine problem for Paul---> He did not know he was getting - Not 1 BUT 2 $300.00 dollar per bottle of wine. Maybe the guy really does not know anything dealing with math, formulas, etc and cannot predict how the Romney / Ryan future budget will play out. Matter of fact - Ryan was forced to admit ON FOX NEWS that "We Haven't run the numbers" yet...duh

http://mediamatters.org/blog/2012/08/15/...

Ryan was off by more than an hour on his MARATHON time...amazing because that is something he should remember...

Americans CAN’T TRUST Romney-Ryan! NO WAY!

When I saw the headline I couldn't help laughing at all the intelligent comments it would generate from the Left. So far I haven't been proven wrong. The comments are just the normal run of the mill, repetitious, boring BS. I am sure there will be numerous more. All the while, ignoring the Liar in Chief and his walking mate (I can't picture Biden as a runner).

Do you REALLY want to open this thread up to the Akin/Ryan religious fanaticism, billnewbie?

Anyone who has run a marathon (I have) knows the meaning of Ryan's boast. Those of us who run 4 hour marathons (like me) are hobbyists only -- those who break 3 hours are in another class of ability and seriousness. I suspect Ryan knows enough about marathon time hierarchy to try and get some mileage out of a loose claim to have broken the 3 hour mark. This is the kind of thing someone who is always looking for a way to improve one's image might slip in to signal membership in a more elite group. As it is, Ryan's many self-serving distortions are simply bolstering the growing view that he is a grotesquely disingenuous man.

Mendacity is common in politics -- but Ryan is a superstar of baloney.

We don't want this fellow anywhere close to the controls.

J

billnewbie- Get real. Ryan lied just as he and Romney lied constantly throughout their Convention speeches. If you want to support such liars without credibility, be my guest.

I am going to support the much more honest ticket of Obama-Biden, which has been working hard to lead America for 4 years -- despite considerable Republican OBSTRUCTION by Mr. Ryan and others:

Americans CAN’T TRUST Romney-Ryan!

Oh noooooo, he couldn't have misstated himself! Nooooo, he's a LIAR!

Yeah, right. Like none of us has ever said something wrong about ourselves unless we were lying.

Let he who is without this sin cast the first stone, eh NVgrf.

To correct his "misstatement," Ryan had to "round" his "imaginary" time up by more than 33%. This is like him saying prior to the election, "Under the Ryan/Romney budget, taxes on middle income earners won't increase."

And then, after the election when people start asking why their paychecks are so much smaller, him saying, "I misstated that. I should have rounded that up to being 33% higher than what taxes had been under Obama/Biden."

Here is Ryan trying to separate him self from Todd Akin over the forcable rape issue. They have nearly identical views but Ryan feels like he can just flip flop away from Akin. Oops! You can't run from your record, can you...

Well said 916WI, of course the left is foaming at the mouth in anger/fear of Ryan and Romney and Walker.

The hateful people on here used to upset me, now I laugh at it. So childish, so immature. Obama and Doyle and Biden and Sheridan, they all had their chance, and many of us think they failed. Romney/Ryan and Walker will have their chance, then we shall grade them on their performance. The left was dancing in the street 4 years ago, how's that Obama Hope and Change working for you now?

No different than "I swear the fish was this big! No really this big!"

MBHammer
Everyone posting here has such perfect lives and are perfect people, my my.

Very good point, but the difference is we are not running for office, or claiming to represent us common folk.

Too funny! If the left is going nuts about a race run over 20 years ago, then the lie that the Obama administration told regarding unemployment being under 8% with the passing of the stimulus and his HCR being deficit neutral(you know, current things that really matter and affect people directly) they should be running away from Obama in droves!

Apparently he didn't think that anyone would bother to check it out. ROTFLMAO

The point is, people were questioning his speech at the convention. Maybe he misled rather than lying. But in a minor interview, about a non-political issue, he casually lied to make himself look better. Even the conservative radio host said "Holy smoke" when he claimed his time. Doing a 2:50 time in the marathon is unusual. Runner's World investigated and found two lies. He hasn't run more than one marathon, and his time was over 4 hours. He was slower at age 20 then Sarah Palin (with a supposed verified time).
It comes down to honesty. At the convention the GOP can say every speech is the usual political posturing. (With teleprompters for everyone but Clint). But lie about personal sports achievements when it's unneeded shows his character. And he got caught, in an easy to verify matter.

A runner would never forget the time of his only marathon. Mr. Ryan has a tendency to make things up to suit the occassion.

really mbhammer? I don't live a perfect life and either do you... but that doesn't mean you give everybody a pass.... I'm sure you don't on the other side... what makes you fascists so irritating...

That pesky evidence! How do you "round" an actual time of "just over four hours" down to "two hour and fifty-something?" That's some really creative and enthusiastic "rounding," isn't it? The concern with this incident is that it reflects the creative and enthusiastic "rounding" in the Ryan/Romney budget proposal.

Everyone posting here has such perfect lives and are perfect people, my my.

Now Bain is being investigated for tax policies....

http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/efcc18da-f4eb-...

I don't even care anymore. He comes across as a person who will do anything for his own gain even at the expense of others. He is the worst candidate to come along in my lifetime anyway. Even if he did something totally out of character (like push someone out of the path of a moving bus) I would NOT vote for him. He is a lying disgrace to the Midwest.

You know you've made your point, when all the other side has is, 'yeah, well your guy did it too!'

Obama's and Biden's misstatements are covered up and forgotten the next day by the media. And if you bring them up again you are labeled a racist.

More lies from Ryan.....ho hum
It's bigger news when or if he tells the truth.

Unfortunately this young local boy is feeling the effects of everything he says, does, or even looks at, being scrutinized by the vulture press....and this is a perfect example.
It doesn't matter how big or small of a statement it is....
Welcome to the big time Mr. Ryan..
Some of the press is already referring to you as:
"Lian Ryan"
First the GM Statement.
Then the abortion facts.
Now this.
Hmmm.....gonna get real interesting.....

baer2.. We elected an empty chair last time. Hope and change hasn't worked out too well.

I was also surprised to see even FOX NEWS say his VP speech was "DECEIVING" - then pointing out that for the uninformed his speech will sound dazzling - But then they explained the false claims by Ryan during the speech and the things they considered "distracting" which are the omission of information that should have been presented.

Until this one I thought maybe the Romney campaign people were directing Ryan to lie, but this makes it clear that he's doing it on his own.

CARLITOSWAY & Many others are correct - now RYAN is telling the truth because he got caught. Same is true with his mumbo jumbo charts he brought to his Town Hall meetings - nothing but junk. I saw him three times do his spin. Just like his VP speaking claim on GM - FALSE!
Politifact caught him on that one...take a look.

They all seem to make misstatements That just shows how much they are into themselfs

If you would choose a VP because of a marathon, please do not vote.

Hello ALL candidates. Get back to the real issues at hand.

We could care less about this. Morons, right or left. Help the country you supposedly want to represent.

You people talk like you all just crawled out from under a rock,EVERY one of them people running & the ones in the white house "LIE",and lied to get where they are!!
Who cares if it was 3 or 4,for god sakes,the united states of america is at stakes here,and every dam one of them are flushing us all down the toilet....

fordfan: The question was asked by Hugh Hewitt, conservative talk show host and blogger. He was apparently genuinely interested in Ryan's image as a fitness nut. Runner's World followed up because they thought it would be awesome if a national candidate were an elite marathon runner. The Ryan campaign told Runner's World where to find the information, apparently unaware at how inaccurate their own candidate's numbers were.

I had been considering voting for these two guys, but then I started listening to them carefully. Low and behold I found out they were lying nearly about everything. I do not vote for a blatant liar, period, end of story. I have been a republican voter for all of my life, but these two characters with all of their lies, they are not ones I can look up to or depend on their word, and no one else should. We need honesty, at least a little bit of it in our leaders.

This guy is a liar. No two ways about it. So much for his Christianity. I ran nine marathons and my first at 3:30:44 was faster than his at age 43. I welcome fact checks, unlike Paulie "My Nose is Growing" Ryan.

Kinda like Hillary saying she was being shot at as she was landing? One does have slightly more significance, but you lefties were saying then exactly what you say the dems would say about this.

When caught with a lie, you have to come up with something to save face, and Mr. Ryan you just did about the marathon running time. Then what about the lie of the closing the GM plant in Janesville, and what the lie about President Obama welfare program and what about the lie about Medicare $716 Billion, to mention a few. What will Paul Ryan do to save face with all of these lies.

Who cares. It was way back in 1990. He mispoke. The lies in his prewritten speach at the convention are much more important.

Can we just elect an empty chair for president this year?

The numbers guy...

Wislady where are you to justify this one and blame Obama?

Romney needs to dump Ryan as VP in favor of Sarah Palin. She never lied about her marathon time--probably because she runs a faster marathon than Ryan. Do we really want a VP that can't beat Sarah Palin in a running race?

Only because he was caught and tries to cover one lie with another does catch up eventually. Misstated lol, LYAN RYAN Admit it you LIED

I am (or was) a huge Paul Ryan fan but he just made a big stumble and lost most if not all of his credibility. He flat out lied. This was not an error, it was a lie. As a previous poster noted, you know what your time was when you run a marathon and you surely don't miss it by more than an hour. You've dug yourself a deep hole Mr. Ryan. The subject matter you lied about may seem trivial but you are now no different than any other politician. We had high hopes for you.

.....it sounds like a "lame stream media gottcha question". Really, who could remember if they had set an amateur near world record anyway... :)

More lies from Paul Ryan. No surprise here.
Had to backpedal cuz he got busted. Everything he says needs to be fact checked.

Sarah Palin's misstatements were because she was uninformed and not well educated. Paul Ryan's misstatements are because he is more informed and more educated than us little people can normally comprehend. Joe Biden's misstatements are because he is, well, Palinish.

fordfan, the spin doctors will be out in full force.

Spoken like a true like a true Replublican. "I know that what I said, but what I meant was" Obama has nothing to worry about with these two.

.....and people on the right will say "So? I don't care if he lies". Just watch them come out of the woodwork when they see this one. I will withhold further comment on this until after I see the Gazette's take on his honesty in tomorrow's paper.

"VP candidate Sarah Palins' misstatements were because of ignorance...

VP candidate Paul Ryans' misstatements are because of....?"

He is a liar.

VP candidate Sarah Palins' misstatements were because of ignorance...

VP candidate Paul Ryans' misstatements are because of....?

runners know better. you remember your times. especially 'under 3'. no wonder the misstatements rolled off so easily at the convention. work requirement for welfare, simpson bowels, 'i built that' out of context, social security. wow! this is crazy....just like his budget.

He even lies about things that are pointless.

Misstatements seem to define him.

Fool me once...shame on you.

Fool me twice...shame on me.
