Paul Ryan: “We’re not going to give up on destroying the health care system for the American people”

By on March 12, 2013 in Bwahahahahaha, LOLGOP, Paul Ryan

Honesty comes out in the funniest ways sometimes

Paul Ryan explains the goal of the GOP’s new rehashed plan to cure the nation’s fiscal woes earlier today:

“This to us is something that we’re not going to give up on, because we’re not going to give up on destroying the health care system for the American people.”

It’s not that this comes as a surprise or anything, we just never thought you’d be so brazen about it, Mr. Ryan.

To quote a former candidate for president: “Oops”.

Destroying the top two corporate/corporatist LIES about the Keystone XL pipeline

By on March 12, 2013 in GOPocrisy, Lies, Paul Ryan

The misinformation is rampant. Get informed.

The two biggest lies perpetuated by the fossil oil industry (“Big Oil”) and their corporatist minions in decision-making roles in our government are that TransCanada’s Keystone XL Pipeline will bring thousands and thousands of jobs to the U.S. and, perhaps more importantly, will increase our national security by making us less reliant on oil imported from the Middle East and other foreign countries that aren’t allies like Canada.

Both are complete and utter lies and there is solid proof to dispel both.

Much, much more after the jump.

Republicans: “We lost because people were too dumb to understand our message”

By on January 24, 2013 in GOP, Paul Ryan, Republican-Fail, Republicans

They just didn’t Twitter those jpegs to your Pinterest blogs with good enough email Facebooks

Republicans have thought long and hard and have figured out why they lost the election in 2012. Although you dumb bunnies may think that it was because of their desire to benefit the very rich at the expense of our nation’s most vulnerable or because of their egregious War on Women and War on Minorities, you would, of course, be wrong. The reason they lost, according the Republicans, is because you people just didn’t understand their message well enough.

See just how dumb you are after the jump.

The indefensible Paul Ryan

By on January 23, 2013 in GOPocrisy, Paul Ryan

Whoever taught Young Republicans to say “straw man” deserves a royalty

Get ready. Paul Ryan — the man who has already proposed a budget that would have led to the largest transfer of wealth from the working class to the rich in American history — is about to propose a new budget featuring massive cuts that will make the austerity that sent Europe back into recession look like the New Deal.

At the House Republican “retreat” last week, members were told that their constant threatening of government shut downs and potential economic catastrophe wasn’t working. It drives independents and Democrats crazy and bums out the base when they have to give in eventually.…

House GOP continues their political death march to prevent the top tax bracket from rising by less than 4%

By on December 3, 2012 in GOP, GOPocrisy, Obama Administration, Paul Ryan, President Obama, Republican-Fail, Republicans

At least we know who they work for now — they’ve made that clear

House Republicans have released a counter-proposal to President Obama’s budget plan to avoid plunging us off the fiscal cliff speed bump. Unsurprisingly, it raises tax revenue but doesn’t allow the Bush tax cuts to expire. In fact, according to analysis by the Washington Post, it appears to lower taxes for the top tax bracket.

Details and more GOPocrisy and insanity after the jump.

The GOP Rape Advisory Chart: Volume III

By on October 26, 2012 in GOP, GOPocrisy, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, Planned Parenthood, Republican-Fail, Republicans, Rick Santorum

Yes, that’s right. Just like Peter Jackson’s production of The Hobbit, I’ve found so much raw material to work with that I decided to break what was originally a single story into two, and now three sections.

As I reported yesterday, in addition to being front-paged here at Eclectablog and at dKos, the first chart went utterly viral, hitting everything from Alternet and Balloon Juice to the New Civil Rights Movement, Dan Savage and even (and it doesn’t get more surreal than this) Neil Gaiman by way of Wil Wheaton.

dKos even did an email alert blast thingie with it.…

Romney/Ryan: All H2 Hummer, no platoon

By on October 22, 2012 in Barack Obama, GOPocrisy, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, President Obama, Republican-Fail

“[Tonight's] debate is about foreign policy. Spoiler alert: we got bin Laden” – Barack Obama

Don’t you get the feeling that, as a child, Mitt Romney was playing with priceless antique World War I army statues while the rest of the kids were playing with little plastic army men? What he knows and understands — or rather DOESN’T understand — about foreign policy is betrayed every time he says something or does something related to it.

His bluster while our embassy staff members were being murdered served no purpose other than to make him look stupid and the country look weak. Typically, when our country is under attack, everyone pulls together and presents a united front. Not Mitt Romney. He couldn’t wait to get in front of journalists and cameras to show the world how weak we are.

Atta boy, Mitt. You’re a real team player there, pal.

Much more after the jump.

Politifact tells the tale: Obama/Biden lead in truth department, Romney/Ryan tell more lies (CHART)

By on October 21, 2012 in Barack Obama, GOPocrisy, Joe Biden, Lies, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan

Not that this comes as any surprise or anything…

Here’s an interesting thing to ponder. When you have a look at the Politifact rulings on statements made by President Obama & Vice President Biden vs. the statements made by Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, it becomes immediately obvious who lies the most.

For statements that were ruled to be “True” and “Mostly True”, it’s Obama and Biden at 45.0%, Romney and Ryan at 29.1%. When it comes to “False”, “Mostly False” and “Pants on Fire”, it’s Romney and Ryan at 43.9% and Obama and Biden at 28.8%. In fact, Romney and Ryan have over 4 times as many “Pants of Fire” lies as the President and Vice President. Mitt Romney himself has well over half of the total amount of “Pants of Fire” lies (58.6%) of all the candidates combined!

Charts and data after the jump.

If Romney & Ryan win, it will be time to tell your daughters that they are worth less than men.

By on October 18, 2012 in Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, War on Women

There’s someone on the ticket who is more anti-women than Mitt Romney. It’s Paul Ryan.

Mitt Romney’s insulting, anti-woman positions are enough to disqualify him from the presidency for most thinking people. The fact that he can’t even be arsed to tell us whether or not he would have supported the Lily Ledbetter Act had he been president in 2009 tells you absolutely everything you need to know.

But there’s another person on the 2012 ticket who is even worse on women’s issues than Mitt Romney. That’s Paul Ryan.

Information about the hard conversation you will need to have with your daughters if Romney & Ryan are elected after the jump.
