Paul Ryan blames President Obama for the closing of GM plant which happened BEFORE he was President. WTF?
Courtesy of the Detroit News:
Republican vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan on Thursday used the closing of a General Motors plant in his hometown of Janesville, Wis., to take a swipe at President Barack Obama's energy policies.
He contended Obama's "terrible energy policies" led to $4 a gallon gas and the closure of the company's oldest assembly plant, breaking the Democrat's promise to keep it open.
In fact, Obama made no such promise and the plant halted production in December 2008, when President George W. Bush was in office.
"I remember President Obama visiting it when he was first running, saying he'll keep that plant open," Ryan said Thursday at a campaign stop in Ohio, recounting the fact his high school friends worked at the plant. "One more broken promise. We used to build Tahoes and Suburbans. One of the reasons that plant got shut down was $4 gasoline. You see, this costs jobs. The president's terrible energy policies are costing us jobs."
GM cited the low demand for SUVs and high gas prices during the Bush administration as the reason for closing the plant.
Obama did speak at the Janesville plant in February 2008, and suggested a government partnership with automakers could keep the plant open, but made no promises as Ryan suggested.
Yeah I see Ryan's point. I mean why should we elect Obama for the NEXT four years if he could not solve the problems that occurred before he served his LAST four years?
I mean Jesus, what kind of a President is he if he can't do a simple thing like time traveling? Sheesh!
Next Ryan plans to blame Obama for the extinction of the dinosaurs and the Hindenburg disaster. Stay tuned kids!

Ryan will soon blame Obama for failing to save Oldsmobile, Studebaker and Packard plants too.
ReplyDeleteHilarious poem about Mitt Romney by 92-Year-Old Retired ND Judge & WWII Vet needs to go viral!
ReplyDeleteAt the beginning of this video, 92 year old Retired North Dakota District Court Trial Judge and World War II veteran, Ralph Maxwell introduces himself. He has been been married for 65 years, has 6 children (so far), and eleven grandchildren. Judge Maxwell admits that he will be voting for President Obama, as he did four years ago, because "he represents my political philosophy more than the other contestant does; candidate I should say."
Standing outside, wearing his WWII uniform, with birds chirping in the background, Judge Maxwell then goes on to recite an insightful and brilliant poem that he has written about Mitt Romney. The poem is so true and absolutely hilarious! You have to watch this ... and help make it go viral!

Paul Ryan: Mommy, Help Me With The Old People
ReplyDelete...
After his announcement as the Vice Presidential nominee, newspapers in Florida had a field day. "Romney just lost Florida" was the typical reaction.
So ..... Ryan has to face the seniors in Florida to try to explain away the biggest deficit the Republicans have there: seniors like Medicare ad Ryan wants to gut the whole thing by putting future seniors into the hands (and wallets) of private, for-profit health insurance companies.
OK. Go to Florida. Give speech. Mistrepresent what you're planning to do. Smile. Lie. Check.
Go to The Villages, a massive retirement community where national Republican candidates often speak to a mostly Republican audience, get applause, support, and great video (it's just like Waukesha, Wisconsin for Republicans around here). Check.
Make sure there's lots of video of cheering seniors. Check.
But, they're going to hate your Medicare Coupon program.
Solution. Bring your mom, a snowbird (they fly south for the winter) who spends the winter months not in Wisconsin, but in Broward County's Lauderdale-by-the-Sea community. In fact, she's been registered to vote in Florida since 1997.
.
This stinks almost as bad as the use of "the wife" when a policio gets caught with his pants down (literally). They trot her out and make her stand there while the naughty elected official hubby blubbers out either an excuse or lame apology. They are made to share the shame of their spouse. Frankly, I consider this to be abusive - a double whammy to the real victim of adultery or prostitute visiting.
Although in this case, Paul Ryans mom isn't a victim, but a willing participant. A woman who wants her son to achieve high political office so badly she'll support a proposal so awful that future senior citizens will not only have to weigh the choices between eating and filling a prescription, but wonder how they'll make up the differences between their Medicare Coupon and the actual, and rising, cost of their health insurance premiums, much less the added copayments and deductibles their insurance company will demand whenever care is sought.
She's the equivalent of the female spokesperson Republicanans trot out whenever they do or say something awful to women or the non-white spokesperson they bring on when they do or say something racist. The point they make by simply appearing in a supportive role is that what the GOP is doing or saying is OK with them and that other women or minorities are clearly overreacting.
Paul Ryan is using his mom to shill for his Medicare Coupon as a similar shield. And it's horrible.

Such obvious pandering. Shameless. I'd hate to be one of her friends that she is selling out to help her sonny, little Eddie Munster.
DeleteYes, he looks like Eddie Munster. LOL
DeleteAnother way Ryan is like Palin without the boobs (she doesn't have any either but he hasn't fallen far enough - yet - to strap on some old Milwaukee boobs. She pimps out herself, her children and husband in name only - Ryan so far has only pimped out his mother. Have a long road to match the bitch Pauly,
DeleteProp Mom!
Delete"Next Ryan plans to blame Obama for the extinction of the dinosaurs and the Hindenburg disaster."
ReplyDeleteYeah, nice try, Gryphen, but once again your 'facts' are in error!
If you invested a fraction of the time you spent worshipping that Obama fella researching the many truths currently concealed by liberal scientists and godless lamestream medians, you'd know that the Hindenburg was accidentally set afire by an invisible alien starship attempting to extract rare beryllium alloys from the corsets of the fashionable frauleins aboard the zeppelin and that large dinosaurs went extinct during the late Middle Ages leaving only the microscopic dinosaurs which infest - even to this day - the digestive tracks of Swedish people with dark hair.
I KNEW it!
DeleteBINGO!
DeleteLOL!!! Off Topic, but I go to Beldar for the answers.

And
If all the world's a stage, where does the audience sit?
GOP Consultant: Koch Brothers Bought Ryan’s Nomination With $100 Million Promise
ReplyDeleteHere is how Stone led his latest post, headlined “The Paul Ryan Selection, “which also delivers an amusing swipe at a certain Fox News analyst:
I’ve waited a few days to lay out my analysis of the selection of Paul Ryan for the VP slot on the Romney ticket. Unlike politicos like Dick Morris who badmouths the selection privately and shills for it publicly, I’ll tell you what I really think. My sources tell me David Koch played a key role in Ryan’s selection and that Koch’s wife Julia had been quietly lobbying for Ryan. The selection was cemented at the July 22nd fundraiser Koch held for Romney at the former’s sumptuous Hamptons estate. Koch pledged $100 million more to C-4 and Super PAC efforts for Romney [in exchange] for Ryan’s selection.
When he mentions “C-4,” of course, Stone is referring to the tax-exempt non-profit groups recognized by the IRS under section 501-C-4 of federal tax law – such as Americans For Prosperity, a group largely backed by the Koch brothers that has so far spent nearly $20 million on this year’s campaign. The C-4 groups, including another known as Crossroads GPS run by Karl Rove, need not disclose their rich donors, while Super PACs do. This year, the right-wing C-4s are outspending all the SuperPACS combined, as Pro Publica reported recently.
As a declared supporter of Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson, the former governor of New Mexico, Stone is grinding a sizeable ax, as always. He goes on to denigrate the idea that Ryan is a libertarian, despite his declared idolatry of the late Ayn Rand. Not much more can be said about Stone’s stark allegations, unless more evidence emerges to confirm them. But there is nevertheless a ring of candor in Stone’s story, tying the plutocratic Kochs to the plutocratic ticket of Romney-Ryan.

this is not a good source. repeating crazy stuff before it is fact-checked does no one any good.
DeleteSounds about right to me. Why is it hard to believe, 3:44?
DeleteInteresting, and quite believable, considering they're "love" for the Ryan Plan.
DeletePresident Obama can't time travel? What's this world coming too?
ReplyDeleteOn Thursday, Paul Ryan took a swipe at President Obama, saying that he failed to keep his promise to rescue a Janesville, Wisconsin automobile factory. That would have been a pretty good trick, considering the factory closed in 2008 under former President Bush.
ReplyDeleteNever dissuaded by facts, the vice presidential candidate said “I remember President Obama visiting it when he was first running, saying he’ll keep that plant open. One more promise broken.”
In a recent interview with an ABC affiliate, Ryan voiced the complaint, implying that Obama’s rescue of the auto industry was a sham. “It didn’t help Janesville,” he said. “They shut our plant down. It didn’t help Kenosha. I represent there; they shut down the Chrysler plant.”
Ryan also contended that the high price of gas under the Obama administration was a contributing factor to the closing of the plant.
In fact, Obama made no such promise when he visited Wisconsin on the campaign trail. What he did say, according to the Detroit News, was that a government partnership with the automakers could keep the plant open but made no promises to that effect.
Obama said, “I believe if our government is there to support you, and give you the assistance you need to re-tool and make this transition, that this plant will be here for another hundred years.”
However, the financial crisis that hit during the end of the Bush presidency, coupled with a drastic drop in demand for the SUVs produced at the factory, caused the plant to close in December 2008. It is still owned by General Motors but has never been reopened.
Ryan was one of the few Republicans who cast a yes vote for a 2008 measure signed by President Bush in trying to prevent the auto industry from failing. The Republican vote was 150 against and 32 for the Bush measure, those mostly in auto industry dependent districts accounting for the few yes votes. Ryan claims he voted for the Bush bailout to prevent a worse bailout, citing his fear that the president would use TARP money if Congress didn’t designate specific funds to go to the failing auto industry.
President Obama used the time given by the Bush plan to form his 2009 rescue, a move hailed by industry leaders as the beginning of a resounding success and is one of the central themes of the Obama re-election campaign.
Recognizing the success of the auto industry rescue, Mitt Romey, who wrote an OpEd in the New York Times titled “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt”, is now hinting that he would have done much the same thing and has intimated that President Obama took his advice. In trying to cast a shadow on Obama’s achievement, Romney is now attacking the president for failing to aid car dealers, a risky move in places like Ohio, where more Ohioans have jobs at car dealerships than before the auto bailout.
The Obama auto industry bailout: Sham or success? According to Ryan, a failure. According to Romney a success but one that could have gone farther. It seems the Republican candidates are on different pages. Again.

Obama Unleashed A Blistering New Attack On Mitt Romney's Taxes Today
ReplyDeletePresident Barack Obama unveiled a brand new attack on Mitt Romney's taxes here in New Hampshire today, charging that Romney will only pay 1 percent under vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan's budget plan.
Here's the key part of his speech to the enthusiastic crowd in Windham High School:
“The centerpiece of my opponent’s entire economic plan is a new, $5 trillion tax cut, a lot of it going to the wealthiest Americans. And his new running mate, Congressman Ryan, put forward a plan that would let Governor Romney pay less than 1% in taxes each year. Here’s the kicker: he expects you to pick up the tab. Governor Romney’s tax plan would actually raise taxes on middle-class families with children by an average of $2,000. Not to reduce the deficit, or grow jobs, or invest in education but to give another tax cut to people like him.
“Ask Governor Romney and his running mate when they’re here in New Hampshire on Monday if they think that’s fair. Ask them how it’ll grow the economy, or strengthen the middle-class. They have tried to sell us this trickle-down fairy dust before. It didn’t work then and it won’t work now. It’s not a plan to create jobs. It’s not a plan to cut the deficit. And it’s not a plan to move our economy forward.”

What's even more hilarious, is that the trolls are way too stupid to know that AynRyan is just making up shit. Next thing ya know, Obama will be blamed for Bristol being a skank.

DeleteLOL
They are too stupid to even pronounce her name.They think its "Ann"but its really an un-American "Ine".She was Russian.She became a US citizen,and took advantage of the benefits like SS and Medicare.But R&R supporters think brown people who do the same are horrible.
DeletePaul Ryan: Bankrolled by the Banksters, the Privatizers, and the Kochs
ReplyDeleteIn the 14 years that Paul Ryan has been a Congressman from Southeastern Wisconsin, he has never had a challenger of any stature or a race of any significance. Janesville, his hometown and the heart of the district, has no TV stations and only a handful of small, scrappy newspapers. What an opportunity for a man of the people to take the highroad!
Paul Ryan and his BudgetRyan could have run every single one of his seven election cycles just like former U.S. Senator Bill Proxmire (D-WI), who ran statewide but only totaled about $1,000 for his nominating petitions and a handful of other expenses.
Instead, Ryan has decided to make himself beholden to some of the biggest corporate interests in America. FIRE (finance, insurance and real estate) poured $2.8 million into his races over the years so he could go mano-a-mano with the likes of John Heckenlively, an unemployed reporter who spent exactly $0 in his 2010 run against Ryan.
Today, the House Budget Chairman is one of the top political fundraisers in Congress. Ryan has $5.4 million in his campaign account, about $2 million more than the next highest House member.
So, who is ladling on the dough?
The answer is the firms that would benefit the most if Ryan's plans to privatize Medicare and repeal Wall Street reform were to go forward -- plus a little bit of Koch.
http://www.prwatch.org/news/2012/08/11704/paul-ryan-bankrolled-banksters-privatizers-and-kochs
now this is worth looking into...some guy from a backwater town running against a guy that has zero campaign dollars and now he is nominated to VP slot?
DeleteJust like Jim DeMint did in SC in 2010. DeMint basically bankrolled his own opposition into winning the Democratic primary for Senator because he knew the guy had not a prayer to win against him. I believe the guy's name was Alvin Greene, if I recall.
Delete"Path to Prosperity?" Paul Ryan's Medicare Plan Looks Like a Path to the Poorhouse
ReplyDeleteIf Americans who are embracing Rep. Paul Ryan's "Path to Prosperity" -- and that now includes Mitt Romney -- spent a few minutes reviewing a few recent research reports, they just might conclude that the Wisconsin Republican's plan to reduce the deficit might better be renamed the "Path to the Poorhouse" because of what it would mean to the Medicare program and many senior citizens.
Ryan's proposal, which will get new scrutiny now that Romney has made him his running mate, would end the current Medicare program for everyone born after 1956. It would replace Medicare with a system in which beneficiaries would receive a set amount of money from the government every year to buy coverage from private insurers. That money would go straight into insurance companies' bank accounts, which would make them far richer and even more in control of our health care system than they already are.

Republican Voter Suppression Campaign Rolls Back Early Voting
ReplyDeletehttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/18/republican-voter-suppression-early-voting_n_1766172.html
The effing liars hoping the low information voters believe their bullshit. The lies are so outrageous and blatant it is disgusting. The rethugs keep getting slimier and slimier.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet, Fox News will not report this. Chirp, chirp, chirp...I can still remember when gas was right at $5 a gallon and that was under the Bush, excuse me, Cheney regime. Even Bill O'Really made the comment that 'presidents don't have any control over gas prices," THEN! But will he now???
ReplyDeleteRomney is Superman, he can go back in time and 'retire' from Bain before it becomes a residential or tax issue, and he can make a pre-presidential candidate responsible for a business closure.
ReplyDeleteBusiness closure. . .Romney knows something about that. He didn't build that, he destroyed it.
And let me guess.. the audience members were too stupid to figure that out...Ah. Fox News listeners..Too Stupid For Their Own Good!
ReplyDeleteTSFTOG!
I'm not surprised. Republicans have no interest in facts.
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
Romney and Ryan are proving themselves to be nothing but liars. Anyone that votes for them is nuts.
ReplyDeleteAll we are hearing about is Ryan now...ya think Romney is working on the upcoming Republican Convention and letting Ryan carry the campaign for a few days?
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
Why do they do the R/R guys think they can just make shit up and throw it our there?
ReplyDeleteBecause they know the low-info repugs won't fact-check their own and they're too dumb to remember that the economy went into the tank under Shrub. But remember this is the party where Shrub's press secretary, Dana Perino said that there had been no terrorist attacks under Bush's watch. She also wasn't familiar with the Cuban Missle Crisis because it happened under Kennedy "before she was even born".
They lose all credibility with swing voters when it's so blatant that they're lying, but they have to try to stay on the offensive because if they're talking about tax returns, either of their tax plans, or themselves in general, they are losing ground that they'll never make up.
So much for the proverbial Ryan "VP Bump". Yawn.
How is it bad that GM stopped producing enormous gas-guzzling, resource-wasting Tahoes and Suburbans? If GM had been well-run enough to see the writing on the wall, they would have been making plans YEARS before the closing to retool the factory to make small cars and hybrids. Instead, the Japanese got a corner on the hybrid market well before American automakers even got their ideas on the drawing board.
ReplyDeleteFunny how $4 a gallon gas is somehow ALL President Obama's fault, but $4 a gallon gas was completely out of the realm of responsibility for President Bush.
ReplyDeleteSomebody explain to me how that works?
Well, it's obvious he should have done it retroactively. After all, Magic Mittens can do it.
ReplyDeleteKeep yer magic mittens off my Medicare, Rmoney & Lyin' Ryan.
DeleteAnd be more considerate of your Mother, Paul Ryan. Don't use her as a human shield to protect you from tough questions like your running mate has done Roth his poor wife. It's not as bad as Sarah Palin has done using her kids to deflect blows of criticism, but almost. Man up, you and Mitt both!
Again, they think the more they tell lies, the more we will believe them. Ballsy move and the only one they know.
ReplyDeleteThat's all they've got.
If we actually had critical-thinking journalists in this country R/R's lies might be challenged but CTJs have been MIA for quite a few years now. Fortunately, many people don't rely on newspapers as their sole source for facts.
DeleteTweet the truth people, and then tweet it again and again.
ReplyDeleteThe idling of the GM plant in Janesville had nothing to do with Obama and nothing to do with Bush. The contract with Isuzu had expired and thus the joint manufacturing agreement ended and so did the production of that vehicle. The plant is on standby, meaning new production could be assigned there should the need come up. Much like the Saturn plant in Tennessee, many thought it was the end of the line for Spring Hill. Today it's up and running with new ideas and output. I live near Flint, Michigan. I know GM. My grandfather did 20 years in the shop. My dad 45 and my husband 42 (he lost his position in the bankruptcy). In fact, part of my husband's job was deciding allocations to plants. While some of his was overseas work, he would often speak of US plants and what was going on with them. If the Janesville plant is still standing, it means GM thinks the factory is viable and has not placed it in the troubled assets partition of OLD GM (Motors Liquidation Corporation) Any of the old plants locally in Michigan are gone, just rubble or flat land (called brownfields (before cleanup) until the EPA says they are safe for construction). It saddens me when any politician or for that matter, any voter decides something is true just because false info is fed to them. Do your own research and ask questions, and ask more questions. Your future depends on the truth.
ReplyDeleteI posted just now and Google ate it.
ReplyDeleteThat sucks, and President Obama should hammer him on it. BUT!
ReplyDeleteWHY doesn't the President and, hell, why don't all the Democrats - start saying
George W Bush.
George W bush!
George W Bush!
Romney/Ryan want to return to the exact same fiscal policies as George W. Bush!
Romney and Ryan want to return to the exact same foreign policy as GEORGE W BUSH.
Go to the graveyards and ask the military families there what we gained by the wars started by George W Bush.
"Tax Breaks for the Rich" as a policy has already been tried: by GEORGE W BUSH!
These are not new ideas - Romney and Ryan want to return to the tried-and-failed policies of
GEORGE W BUSH!!!
Let's make Friday, August 24, 2012 "Show Us Your Taxes" Day . Contact Mitt Romney and request he release his tax returns like his father and other candidates have done. His website has contact information on it. Email, twitter, facebook, write and/or call his campaign on the 24th. Let them know it is unacceptable to just say "trust me". Pass this onto your friends and family who share our desire to vet Mitt Romney. There is strength in numbers.
ReplyDeleteThe know-nothings in the GOP listen and fawn over Mitt and Ryan like the desperate Germans hung on Hitler. They are so desperate to get that "damn Ni--er" out of the White House they'll vote themselves paupers and then sit back and say they accomplished their mission - then they'll have to go fight for a place to sleep under the local overpass.
ReplyDeleteWhat do we have now. . .almost 1 "oops" per day in just a week?
ReplyDelete1) Closing GM plant
2 Amending his congressional financial disclosure forms in June 2012 while being vetted for Romney. . .to disclose income(wife's 1 to 5 million trust from her deceased mother 2010);amending tax returns to show additional income($60,000+? I believe)/(USA TODAY 8-15/WSJ articles 8-17?) . . .really big "oops" if one is such a "numbers man/geek" and wife is a former TAX attorney. . .but, hey, I can see how you would forget @ thousands of dollars of income and a multi-million trust. . .just so busy!
3)Requesting stimulas funds after NOT voting for the stimulus plan(TARP)
4)There was one about China also yesterday?. . .and his vote(record) was the opposite of what he was ranting and raving about at a campaign stop . . . I got so distracted by the amending of his congressional financial disclosure forms that I didn't get all of this
5) more and 6)more. . .(Ayn Rand, Medicare)
People haven't even got to all of the 14 years of a l-o-n-g paper trail of his voting record.
Lot's to look at since Romney is such a secretive, non-disclosure, non-specific,destroy the hard drives(Gov of MA/Olympics records) kinda guy!
Easy now...this was one of those famous "retroactive" blames.
ReplyDeleteI personally hold Romney to blame for the sinking of the Lusitania.
Retroactively, of course.
I like "Show us Your Taxes Day" !!
ReplyDeleteBut, it needs to go to more than just Mitt's Web Site. . .maybe to your Congressmen/Senators,Media, etc.
I remember the old saying: People who have nothing to hide, HIDE NOTHING!
How about asking for his FBAR*(more on FBAR below) forms from 2010 & 2011 & 3 years before.
*FBAR=Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts statement This is the part that discloses the details of his tax havens, foreign bank holdings, foreign investments. It is sent to the TREASURY Dept and is due annually by June 30th( I think?)
(I think the total tiltout meltdown year is "possibly" 2009.)
It would be interesting if there were amended returns for those years.
Hey!If Mitt can "retroactively retire" from Bain for 2 or 3 years, I'm sure he has no problem retroactively paying back taxes if that was what was negotiated either from an a-u-d-i-t(he said to David Muir/ABC NEWS that he had been audited from time to time)or a "potential" AMNESTY from non disclosed Swiss bank accounts. (2009 IRS Amnesty Program)

I drive a Tahoe. As a matter of fact I'm on my second Tahoe since 2004. BTW I live on a working farm in IN. The Republican candidate for Vice President is a liar and a corrupt bastard like all the other Republican bastards in Washington. Wonder what Paul Ryan's gonna do when he loses both of his elections? Reality shows? Grifting like the Queen of grifters?
ReplyDeleteMitt, show us your tax returns.
ReplyDeleteAnd Sarah, show us Trig's birth certificate. Plus we'll draft somebody to take a quick look at your fake titties if we can't get a volunteer. Right now, we got no takers.
Todd, put that teeny-tiny pecker up, boy. Nobody wants to see that small package of your junk.
He's just pandering to the low info voters. What I'd like to see is someone interviewing his "high school pals" who lost their jobs at that plant just to ask them who was President. I'm sure their memories would smack down this lie he's promoting.
ReplyDeleteRyan would fuck his own mother to get ahead. Mother fuckin prick he is.
ReplyDeleteAmy in Wasilla
Looks like the GOP picked another dud
ReplyDeleteThis is classic GOP. Tell the opposite of the truth. The newspapers will pick up on the story and print it without one word of clarification so that the dishonesty behind it will be known. Fox News will spout it word for word. All of this is predicated upon the assumption that the vast majority of Americans are too stupid to know better. Unfortunately the vast majority of Americans may be too stupid; they are not known for thinking for themselves.
