Ryan lied about a lot of things, foreign policy was but one of them.
A select few:
1 – “it took the president two weeks to acknowledge Libya as a terrorist attack”
truth – it was
acknowledged as such the very next day
2 – “the administration is blocking us every step of the way” in reference to Iran sanctions
truth – quite the opposite, to the point where the Israeli
praises the administration and the steps they have taken to
stop Iran.
3 – “the VP was in charge of $90bil in green pork to contributors”
truth – the guy overseeing him in this was Herb Allison. Herb should be familiar to conservatives as the finance chair for McCain’s failed attempt at becoming president in 2008.
No such “pork” was found.
4 – “Obamacare takes 716bil from medicare to spend on Obamacare”
truth – most of that money is taken from overpayments to insurance companies, which in turn cuts rampant fraud, waste, and abuse of the system for profit.
5 – “8 of 10 businesses file their taxes as individuals, not as corporations”
truth – in context, less than
half the people who would be affected by the expiring tax cuts get their income as a small business.
6 – “the 5 billion dollar plan has been discredited”
truth – the studies he cites actually
PROVE, not discredit the claim
A lot of these are the same old shit, though... If you repeat a lie enough, eventually it will grow legs and SOMEONE will accept it as the truth.
