Mitt Romney's running mate should seriously change his name from Paul Ryan to Pinocchio Ryan. With all the lies he's told in the past 2-3 weeks, I'm beginning to even doubt that his name is in fact Paul Ryan.
Pinocchio was at it again on Sunday, where he told MSNBC's Norah O'Donnell on Face the Nation that he never voted for the military spending cuts O'Donnell asked him about.
The 2011 law he voted for - the Budget Control Act - cut federal government spending by $1.2 trillion, including $492 billion in military spending.
He's recently criticized the Obama Administration for the military spending cuts that were included in the bill (which he voted for), but at about this point last year, he was praising that which he's now criticizing. Confused? Let Mr. Ryan try explaining it to you himself. Here's what big nose said on Fox News' The Sean Hannity Show back in August of last year:
"Right, right, that's a good question. So, $21 billion right away for the first fiscal year. Then it's about $46, I think, that's off the top of my head, for the second fiscal year. How much out of defense in the first fiscal year will be $9 billion from what we call the security accounts. That's not just defense. That's all security. The Homeland Security, National Security. And then $2 billion to $4 billion the next year. So, the cuts on defense are -- were minimized quite a bit by the most recent agreement John Boehner reached."
I'm starting to believe that once Ryan's lips starting moving, you know he's lying.
