Grandma Catches Paul Ryan In A Lie
We all know that Paul Ryan is a fit dude, his addiction to P90x is legendary. What we didn’t know till last week that Ryan at one point as a pretty-good marathoner. On a radio interview last week Ryan said that his personal best time for the 26.1 mile race was “. . . under three, high twos. I had a two hour and fifty-something.” That’s really good. How good is that? He’d probably finish in the top 10 this year’s Delaware Marathon with a 6 minute 50 second mile pace.
But wait, Ryan is not that fast, not by a long shot. Ryan’s one marathon on record, Grandma’s Marathon 1990, has Ryan running a 4 hour and 1 minute marathon. Big difference. (Click on the image below for a bigger picture.) Later, a Ryan spokesman tried to clear up the issue with a statement by Ryan.
The race was more than 20 years ago, but my brother Tobin—who ran Boston last year—reminds me that he is the owner of the fastest marathon in the family and has never himself ran a sub-three. If I were to do any rounding, it would certainly be to four hours, not three. He gave me a good ribbing over this at dinner tonight.
Or as the Ryan campaign later said, “His comments on the [radio] show were the best of his recollection.”
Yeah, that’s s another whopper of a lie. I let Michelle Malkin explain, “Doesn’t recall his time? As I say, runners remember everything. And they never let you forget it either.”

My daughter is a runner (Cross Country and Track) and is constantly reciting her times down to the second. She came across this story on Reddit and said, “He says he had a two hour and fifty-something? Fifty-something?”
How insecure is Paul “Lyan” Ryan?
One by one the alleged lies of Ryan prove to be true. Now they are trying to fact check his running times. This election is about big ideas and the hopes and dreams of tens of millions who are hurting. It is about the future generations who could be shackled with debt. Anyone trying to divert the focus on such silly things deserves to shunned for disrespecting this election and playing games while people hurt. Adults need to focus on the work that needs to be done while children play games. That is the real deal.
One by one the alleged lies of Ryan prove to be true.
Which ones?
Now they are trying to fact check his running times.
Fair game. Republicans fact-checked Al Gore’s stories about what songs his mother used to sing.
If this is all you got, you guys are in big trouble

Like the rest of his party, Ryan is reality-challenged. It is a bad basis for formulating policy for our nation. Lie, lie, wrong, wrong, fail, fail. Why do you think they spent all last week pretending that W never happened?
If anyone actually believes that politicians on both sides aren’t guilty of padding their stories, or “misspeaking”, almost on a daily basis , then they have bigger issues than politics that need attending to.
It is the GOP, however, who is lying as a matter of campaign policy. We’re not talking about “padding”, we are talking about lying.
When one’s entire party philosophy is a lie, I mean the one where if we just give the wealthy all our money they will make us rich, yes that lie, then one can’t stand on the truth… . And so, obviously when in that situation, they have to demonize their opponent… To tell the truth would be for them to say: Barack Obama is the best president in our lifetime, he came into a bankrupt America, and now Corporate America’s profits are higher than ever. When Romney wanted to scrap the American Auto Industry, Barack rebuilt it. Every time you see a Chevrolet go by, you should be saying, “Damn, we sure got us a good president.” To tell the truth would be for the Republican party to say that Barack Obama has created more private sector jobs per month than Ronald Reagan (he is third, behind Clinton and Carter; Reagan is fourth). To tell the truth would be to say, under Obama, we are more energy self-sufficient then anytime since the 1950’s. To tell the truth, would be to say. we used to have no protection from greedy insurance companies, my, aren’t things a lot better now?…..
You get the point. REPUBLICANS CAN’T TELL THE TRUTH BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF TRUTH POINTS TO THE FACT THAT HOLY SMOKES, WE GOT OURSELVES A DAMN, GOOD PRESIDENT……
(oh yeah, and HE got bin Laden….)
Of course…they say…. “but, but, but,… what about jobs?….. Look at unemployment?”
And you say, “yeah.. you’re right, I guess we need government to hire more huh?”
And they say…. “Government has never created one single job… All jobs are created by the private sector!!!!”
And you say… EXACTLY! THEN WHY AREN’T YOU REPUBLICAN SUPPORTERS CREATING THEM! YOU HAVE THE RECORD HIGH PROFITS… MEANING IN YOUR HISTORY, YOU HAVE NEVER HAD THIS MUCH MONEY IN YOUR LIFE TO INVEST IN JOB CREATION….. SO WHY DIDN’T YOU INVEST IN CREATING JOBS?
… and damn…. you just forced them to lie again…….
If you want to know what Barack Obama is going to say in the future(Like at the DNC), just look at what he has said in the past. Same tune, different day.
