Paul Ryan speech popular with base; chock full of lies.

I try not to waste too much time demonizing Romney or Ryan. The probability of my changing anyone’s mind about who to vote for in this election is close to zero.

Still, the details of this speech were INFURIATING. Political campaigns thrive on half-truths and empty rhetoric, but his speech was built on a foundation of lies. If you need those lies to get elected, Mr. Ryan, then you’ve already demonstrated that your ideas are worthless, and unable to compete in the marketplace of ideas.
