So in other words, just like everything else he says

James F. Campbell: I wonder how many people actually pay attention to what Paul Ryan has to say.

242 in the House, and 47 in the Senate.

"General Dempsey and I spoke after that, and I wanted to give that to him, which was that's not what I was attempting to say," Ryan said on CNN. "What I was attempting to say is that President Obama put out his budget number for the Pentagon first ... and then they began the strategy review to conform the budget to meet that number. We think it should have been the other way around."

We're in great hands if this dumbass is an example of "fiscal responsibility".

James F. Campbell: I wonder how many people actually pay attention to what Paul Ryan has to say.

Somewhat less than Justin Bieber, and significantly less relevant to foreign policy.

Yes, Mittens, you still need to stand in the corner for another hour.

MaudlinMutantMollusk: So in other words, just like everything else he says

so was ryan lying then or is he lying now?
because clearly this is not an example of misspeaking

Ryan having such a prominent role in the GOP is indicator of how decisive and partisan this country is.

Yeah, that's not "misspeaking", dude. Misspeaking is saying "n*gger" when you mean to say "negotiator". When you come out and overtly say "they are not telling the truth about what they believe", that's saying they're lying. There ain't no two ways about it.

You want to take that back, you sack up and say "You know what? That was completely out of line for me to say. I don't have any evidence that they don't believe in the budget. I'd like very much to meet with them and talk about it, and then make a more informed statement. So that's that. My bad."

Silly general forgot that the military is supposed to be the expeditionary force for the GOP.

"We don't think the generals are giving us their true advice. We don't think the generals believe their budget is really the right budget."

"What I was attempting to say is that President Obama put out his budget number for the Pentagon first ... and then they began the strategy review to conform the budget to meet that number. We think it should have been the other way around."

I can see how you could confuse those two statements.

Paul Ryan is a big part of what's wrong with Congress specifically, and this country in general.

Isn't his name being thrown around for the VP slot?

So he was lying...surprise, surprise, surprise!

Demetrius: Isn't his name being thrown around for the VP slot?

He wants to wind up on the talk show circuit and meet and greets on a big bus, who are we to stand in his way?

GAT_00: Demetrius: Isn't his name being thrown around for the VP slot?

It was. It probably won't be now.

Yes, but I bet he was the one who was throwing his name around.

As much as this galls me, at least he had the balls to admit he messed up, unlike Sarah "yes, Paul Revere was ringing bells to warn the British" Palin.

I really misspoke, to be candid with you, Candy. I didn't mean to make that kind of an impression," Ryan replied. "So I was clumsy in how I was describing the point I was trying to make.

No, you're are just a fool. That is all.

He called them 'lah' people.

Gergesa: I really misspoke, to be candid with you, Candy. I didn't mean to make that kind of an impression," Ryan replied. "So I was clumsy in how I was describing the point I was trying to make.

No, you're are just a fool. That is all.

Ah damnit. Proof read it and still missed it. Damnation. Correction follows:

No, you are just a fool. That is all.

I hope that Paul Ryan is discovered in a Watergate love-nest with Eric Cantor.

the opposite of charity is justice: Even if the military brass were unhappy with the budget why is it only these guys get a blank check during a recession, especially when the military budget remains bloated from the days of fighting another superpower instead of the guys we're now warring with who are operating out of caves?

Because it's obvious you hate America and furthermore

Where are all the Real Americans to defend their Republican champion?

Lionel Mandrake: Where are all the Real Americans to defend their Republican champion?

Don't blame me. I've been farking that chicken twice as hard in the hope that one day you libs will one day see the light. What should I do, keep farking the chicken?

King Something: dahmers love zombie: Yeah, that's not "misspeaking", dude. Misspeaking is saying "n*gger" when you mean to say "negotiator". When you come out and overtly say "they are not telling the truth about what they believe", that's saying they're lying. There ain't no two ways about it.

The problem with that is that it would require him to admit to having made a mistake and thus take personal responsibility, which would cause him to immediately and irrevocably forfeit his membership in the Party Of Personal Responsibility™

The...POPR? The Poopers? I like it.

2 weeks ago: Obama should listen to the generals on the ground.

Yesterday: the generals on the ground have no idea what theyre doing!
