  Fact check: Paul Ryan at the RNC – USATODAY.com.  Click on the link to read the USA Today breakdown of the facts vs. the fiction in Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan's performance at last night's Republican National Convention.  Sometimes knowing the truth is enough.  (But, question: Are blatant lies and distortions a sign of disrespect for the voter?  Does it mean that the speaker of the lie thinks that voters are so stupid, unthinking or ignorant that we won't check the facts for ourselves or learn the truth?  Some say that it's about winning at any costs, but I don't know about you, but I can't buy that.  To pile lie on top of lie in tht matter just shows how little the candidate thinks of the people he would represent.)
Excerpt: By H. Darr Beiser, USA TODAY.   TAMPA, Fla. – Paul Ryan's acceptance speech at the Republican convention contained several false claims and misleading statements. Delegates cheered as the vice presidential nominee:

 •Accused President Obama's health care law of funneling money away from Medicare "at the expense of the elderly." In fact, Medicare's chief actuary says the law "substantially improves" the system's finances, and Ryan himself has embraced the same savings.

•Accused Obama of doing "exactly nothing" about recommendations of a bipartisan deficit commission — which Ryan himself helped scuttle.

•Claimed the American people were "cut out" of stimulus spending. Actually, more than a quarter of all stimulus dollars went for tax relief for workers.

•Faulted Obama for failing to deliver a 2008 campaign promise to keep a Wisconsin plant open.   It closed less than a month before Obama took office.'

Liar, liar, pants on fire.  A.k.a., Don't listen to Paul Ryan. He's a lyin.
