Pandering to a specific voting block isn't the same as lying, Although it's possible considering his history of lying that he could have lied about this as well. He can even go around telling everyone he "Built" that lie all by himself.

You are right. They all lie but what got me was that it was Ryan's reputation that he was a straight shooter. More than your average pol and he lied a few times on stuff he didn't have to even do. That is stupid. Ruin a reputation for no real need.

No, I'm not Kidding..



Bill Clinton is the Ultimate Politician.. He never really supported DOMA . He signed it because it recieved Overwhelming votes in the House and Senate, enough that they could have easily overridden a Veto, and the election was coming up so he didn't want the fight during an election campaign. He later supported the repeal of the Law..



DADT was created as an alternative to what the Congress was trying to pass. They wanted a Full Ban on homosexuals from serving in the Military so Clinton offered DADT as an alternative. He was fine with the repeal of it.



Now you're parroting right wing lies.. He didn't repeal Welfare reform and Clinton has confirmed it. Sorry to disappoint.



Huge Deficits Clinton knows.. remember he was left a pretty sizable deficit too, by another Bush. Clinton is also smart enough to realize that getting a budget passed when the Republican party will not compromise has nothing to do with the policies he's trying to implement. Obama pushes the same basic policy agenda. The only difference is that the economy now is much worse than the one Clinton took over.



Obama is trapped by an ideologically challenged right wing . Their only goal is to get Obama out of office, and they don't care how many people they effect to do it. They protect the rich of course.. that's apparent. Clinton and Obama are more alike than the right will ever admit.
Poor Clinton we discussed his signing partial repeal of Glass Stegal that was "jammed down his throat." The DOMA? He never really liked it. It is the universal excuse, Clinton is not responsible for either bill because he had his fingers crossed behind his back when he signed it.

We should without examination accept the word of the impeached for his lies Clinton that Obama didn't gut welfare work requirements? Obama preserved the work requirement by redefining work to include about anything short of working on your tan. Notice Obama welfare "work" doesn't require getting a job, writing a journal between welfare checks will do. Yet Clinton had the brass to brag about his welfare reform reducing the rolls while claiming Obama's so-called reform will introduce more "work" into the system.

Clinton lays claim to balancing the budget. Great. But he endorsed Obama the deficit king who cannot even get his budget anywhere close to passed then racks up trillion dollar plus deficits every year. Obama is the one running for reelection, not Clinton.

One thing a couple of my family members noticed right away was the crowd at each convention. One was much more diverse and by that I mean they looked like all walks of life.

Did she say anything about her looking at the skin first? If the right finds anyone of color in their convention they give them a speech to read. Even if it's the pizza guy.
