Well, the liberal view is out there, that Ryan’s speech was full of lies.
I don’t see a single lie in what Ryan said.
The liberals are all over him because he was a member of the Simpson-Bowles commission, and how dare he criticize Obama over that, when Ryan voted against the commission recommendations.
Well, it’s a truism, but a fact that, Democrats run against the Republicans. Republicans have to run against both the Democrats and the media.
Same as:
“ADOLPH HITLER, JEWISH RABBI”
Matthew Dowd, his picture is next to the word “tool” in the Dictionary.
The marxistmedia rotate to “factcheck” outfits. The *pants on fire outfit* was filled with pulitzer prize winners while the managers were ex-pulitzer board members. I checked them out a few years ago.
Matthew Dowd encapsulates all the wonderful, greasy, slimy and deceitful qualities of today’s beltway liberal. George twisted his panties and he was devastated.
Obama and his Janesville audience knew that the plant was at risk of closure when he gave his speech at the factory in February, 2008. That was why Obama said "We need to maintain our competitive edge in a global by ensuring that plants like this one stay open for another hundred years, and shuttered factories re-open as new industries that promise new jobs."
Let me rephrase Obama's words as he obviously intended them to be heard: "Elect me and your job here is safe. Even if the Janesville factory closes, we will reopen it and rehire you."
It didn't happen in Janesville or most other places wth similar problems. Obama's promises were empty.
That was Ryan's point, and he was precisely correct.
It would be hard to beat Ed Morrissey's reporting on this:

Or a secret Hesychasmist conspirator.
Or a Brazilian gemstone cutter.
Et cetera (roll your own).
Obama says he wants to keep a factory open
Factory closes
Obama becomes Prez
Factory still closed

Matthew Dowd is a liar and a fraud. He is certainly no “Republican strategist” unless he’s the kind who shares a hot tub with David Brock, David Brooks, and David Stockman. (Matthew Dowd should change his name to David.)
What George Will and the folks at WAPO don’t realize is that most people don’t pay any attention to them anymore.
Unfortunately, the defense of the “fact checkers” by Matthew Dowd, a Republican, was probably more effective in the debate than George Will’s statements.
