Paul Ryan’s Stimulus Flimflam (Limerick)
In one fell swoop, Paul Ryan’s been caught in a web of hypocrisy and lies over Obama’s stimulus package:
After repeated denials, Paul Ryan has admitted he requested stimulus cash even after sharply criticizing the program.
Ryan had denied doing so as recently as Wednesday, when he spoke to ABC’s Cincinnati affiliate, WCPO, in Ohio.
“I never asked for stimulus,” Mitt Romney’s new running mate said. “I don’t recall… so I really can’t comment on it. I opposed the stimulus because it doesn’t work, it didn’t work.”
Two years ago, during an interview on WBZ’s NewsRadio he was asked by a caller if he “accepted any money” into his district. Ryan said he did not.
“I’m not one [of those] people who votes for something then writes to the government to ask them to send us money. I did not request any stimulus money,” the congressman answered.
But as we’ve now learned, Ryan did write letters. He did request stimulus funds.
Paul Ryan’s Stimulus Flimflam (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Paul Ryan’s been caught in a lie
And hypocrisy too — what a guy!
To the stim he said, “No!”
Yet he asked for stim dough,
Then denied that he did it. Pork pie!

It’s gonna be interesting to see if seniors who normally vote Republican, will bail in mass when they find out what Mr Ryan has in-store for them.
Ryan wastes so much time on beauty & fashion [“I’m so Pretty…”]~~as if exercising ’til you drop makes him superior. Little wonder Romney would pick such a fake. Transparency isn’t all we demand. Watch for conflicts of interest in their tax returns, rates of fed’l taxes paid, how many speeches they gave (& what they charged for ’em), their charity giving [outside of religion~~which doesn’t get anyone jobs] & Mitt’s overseas money-hiding. Ouch.
Thanks for your comments Hansi and Chris. I agree with you.
