Paul Ryan’s pattern of hypocrisy: His stimulus funding story makes front pages of most WI papers

Saturday, October 13, 2012

Welcome to the Paul Ryan Hypocrisy Visual post o’ the day. Videos and screen grabs galore!

The screenshots below from the Newseum show a few front pages from Wisconsin newpapers that highlight Paul Ryan’s hypocrisy on his lobbying for the same stimulus funds from President Obama’s economic recovery plan that he claimed to reject. Enjoy, and tell a friend!

Lyan-Ryan was doing his job for his people because it was a good thing. His people wanted this. He goes around saying it was a bad thing. Either he does not want his people to be helped or he is lying just to keep his job and not get attacked by his party.

So what it really comes down to is that his job is more important than the welfare of the people he is suppose to represent. To me that is the mark of a TRAITOR and a violation of his Oath of Office.

He has to either say that his efforts to get some of that money were also crony capitalism, or claim that only companies in Wisconsin deserve to get any of it.

What a fool

But before Biden, Ryan had no excuses to give. He couldn't deny it any more. Newspapers can no longer report it as a 'he said, he said' story.
