YOURE RYAN LIKE A RUG

So, I watched the Paul Ryan speech as he accepted the Nomination for Vice President. As the event started, I knew pretty much what he was going to say, but like everyone else, wanted to see how he would say it and how everyone reacted.
  
It's his standard points, true or false, that he has hitting since his VP announcement. In this setting, the crowd ate up those talking points like the last supper. For the rest of the TV audience, not so much.
  
The fact checkers have been working overtime this morning and if facts are something you find necessary in a campaign, you're going to listen to the reports. Or not.
  
Ryan told his misleading stories about Medicare, the stimulus, the unfortunate demise of his local auto plant, the US credit rating, Simpson-Bowles report and actually suggested they were looking to protect our most vulnerable. How many people in that stadium are either sceptical enough to research his rhetoric or perfectly willing to say whatever they want in order to take the White House?
 
What has been a running comment for two days is ow all of the main speakers at the convention have spent most of their time touting their own virtues rather than promote Bishop Willard Romney.
 
Let's see what the grand finally brings us.
