Once outed, Ryan issued an apology of sorts via his Facebook page: "I have just learned that Secretary Anderson misspoke, and that the story she told was improperly sourced. I regret failing to verify the original source of the story, but I appreciate her taking the time to share her insights."

I didn't realize Anderson had spoken at some dinner where Lyin' Ryan was in attendance.

This makes him out even more of a fool. When he bought into that "dignity" crap he sold what soul he had left anyway.

(1,110 posts)Is he saying it's better to have the children have empty souls and empty stomachs? Unless he went on to advocate expanding services for the poor to ensure they can afford brown bags and food from home, I'm not following. I'm sure some will say it was him advocating having loving families, which is fine, but love doesn't buy food.

(16,928 posts)you SHOULD care. This is yet another statement in his records that will be repeated and believed by the blind-following haters that comprise the voters in the Repug group.
They need to be called out for their lies each and every time and we can only hope that we get at least 1 more vote to end their destruction of the USA!
cvoogt
(949 posts)that this isn't an argument that would get us much traction with his entrenched base, and energies could be spent better elsewhere. He's a scheming huckster I know, but in a few years we won't be talking about him anymore. Unless of course he somehow becomes president, then this board will be like it was back in '04. Good times.

Lasher
(27,602 posts)He knows what he's doing. He's pandering to the willfully ignorant pathological liar vote. We've all seen their many chain emails, one after another, all filled with nothing but lies.
Now watch, he'll get a shitload more campaign contributions over this. All according to plan.

(27,602 posts)He's just doing what others have done. For example, Ted Cruz analogized moderate Senate Republicans with Nazi apologists and the willfully ignorant pathological liar crowd rewarded him with a mountain of cash.
