>>Fact Checking Paul Ryan’s Speech Read it Here<<

Watch the Political Speech from the 2012 Republican Convention

In this day and age of campaigning for office, constant one-upsmanship, negative ads, and overall image defacing appear to be the norm for most campaign trails.  This one however takes the cake.  Representative Paul Ryan’s delivery of a political speech has been under fire for being the most deceptive speech at a political event ever.  Political fact checkers have proven almost instantaneously after the speech’s conclusion that on  more than one occasion, Ryan had used examples of “fact twisting” in order to prove or at least make Obama’s administration seem like they were not getting the job done for America, so much so, that a Fox News associate ripped Ryan in her coverage of the speech by saying,

“to anyone paying the slightest bit of attention to facts, Ryan’s speech was an apparent attempt to set the world record for the greatest number of blatant lies and misrepresentations slipped into a single political speech. On this measure, while it was  Romney who ran the Olympics, Ryan earned the gold.”

When a Fox News Journalist rags on you for lying or using twisted facts, they might be on to something there.

This story is most definitely newsworthy, first off, because we are in the political campaign season and blunders like Paul Ryan’s speech are under special scrutiny with the election date inching ever closer. Secondly, Paul Ryan is a political figure.  He is or at least should be responsible for being honest with the people he is representing and hopes to lead as the Vice President of the U.S.  I would have tore open Ryan as a political journalist based on the facts that he is being deceptive to his audience.  We need good role models and representatives in elected offices, not someone who will muddy their opponents names based on falsehoods and embellished statistics.
