ABC’s Jonathan Cari calls out Paul Ryan on Hypocrisy over pending Budget Cuts..

From:Think Progress
By Igan Volsky


Ever notice how MSM likes to present itself lately as frequently calling out Rep.lies?
Bullshit... They present contrary facts to the Repub. being interviewed and the Republican
always ends up dominating the conversation and then ends up with the last word..
Its a disgusting display of backing down cowardice.......

After the Super Committee failed to agree on a spending reduction package, Ryan — then the GOP’s vice presidential candidate — consistently railed against the sequester mechanism he previously supported, calling it “reckless” and “devastating.” Two months later, he wants the sequester to go into effect and may incorporate its savings in his upcoming budget.
Ryan tried to end his interview with Karl on a high note, presenting himself as a lawmaker above the fray. “Actually, Jonathan, you’ve known me a long time, and the one thing you know about me is I don’t play that [political] game,” he said in response to a question about whether or not he’s positioning himself for a presidential bid in 2016, adding, “I don’t talk like that.”

He seems actually to never tell the truth. Simpson-Bowles, his marathon accomplishments, his budget positions, - his entire debate with Biden was one lie after another. I wish some congressional Dem would say that on the record after this next speech on the floor - "My esteemed colleague from Janesville is a pathological liar"
