Ryan still thinks military leaders lied to Congress;
On Thursday, Ryan said the Pentagon's budget, endorsed by the Secretary of Defense and all of ht service chiefs, was dishonest and dangerous. Reminded of the military leaders who've already endorsed the budget request, and that it came from the Pentagon and not the White House, the right-wing Republican again said the budget "does hollow out defense."
At the same event on Thursday, Ryan added that he perceives the Pentagon's budget as "a budget-driven strategy, not a strategy-driven budget."
Yesterday, Ryan used the identical language. How can someone claim he "totally misspoke" and then say the same thing again?
Ryan still thinks military leaders lied to Congress; he still thinks he knows better than the Pentagon what spending levels are necessary to keep America safe; and he still thinks Congress should give the Defense Department money the Pentagon doesn't want.
The only difference between Thursday and Sunday is that Ryan has stopped attacking U.S. military leaders and started attacking the president. But since it's the same attack, and this is a distinction without a difference, it's laughable for Ryan to say he "misspoke."http://maddowblog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/04/02/10981496-ryan-didnt-misspeak
