the two faces of ryan

like his boss the new vice president elect is a glib flip flopper-but more than that he preys on your fears-he definitely will tell you what he thinks you want to hear. but one on one he's tongue tied when asked directly about a subject.(that is if it isn't on his prep list!!!!
he rapped Obama and his stimulus ;then applied for funds!

Ryan also sent three letters to Chu in October 2009 seeking stimulus money for the Energy Center of Wisconsin, another nonprofit organization that promotes energy efficiency. The company later received $190,000 in stimulus money to conduct research on geothermal heating and $50,000 more to develop a training curriculum for students at Milwaukee Area Technical College.

Ryan's letters to the Energy Department were first reported by the Boston Globe.

"It's another example of how he talks out of both sides of his mouth," said Heather Taylor-Miesle, director of the NRDC Action Fund, the political arm of the environmental group Natural Resources Defense Council. "It goes to show that their energy policy always has been, and probably always will be, disingenuous."
NOW THAT LAST SENTENCE PRETTY MUCH TELLS IT LIKE IT IS!
