Paul Ryan is a fraud.

With all the nonsense and chatter about the ridiculous presidential election, its important to understand exactly why certain candidates are so dangerous.

Many people throughout the country and the media are beating up on Paul Ryan and usually for the wrong reasons.

He is usually attacked for being an extremist in the area of fiscal spending, a budget cutter, a man who wants to shrink government. The man who wants to destroy medicare etc etc.

The problem of course is thee exact opposite. He is a big government statist that wants to give more power to the government. His budget proposal (called social dawninism by Obama) won't balance the budget till 2040!!! AND that's only with his crazy assumptions about 2% growth every year in the future. The truth it, theirs nearly NO difference between the things obama wants and the things Paul Ryan or Mitt Romney want... THe media just wants to work people up into a political fenzy and get people to believe the elections all come down to some big choice......It's all BS......

As for Paul Ryans record. it is terrible.
Was going to list some of his highlights but instead pasted a quote from someone on a blog post:
Laurence Vance on lrc.com wrote=

Ryan’s record of fiscal irresponsibility has continued beyond 2010 when this article was written. He has since voted to raise the debt ceiling multiple times and approved ongoing extensions of military spending on unnecessary foreign wars. To be fair his record on fiscal issues has become increasingly mixed. He has voted against foreign aid, farm subsidies and some other specific spending increases as well.

Possibly of even greater concern is Ryan’s ongoing record of absolute irresponsibility in the area of civil liberties. Since 2010 Ryan has been on the wrong side of almost every important vote involving basic Constitutionally protected rights. He voted to extend the PATRIOT Act, for CISPA, for DOMA, for the NDAA (three times), to expand the Department of Homeland Security, to extend troop commitments in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya and to give the President the power to appoint department heads without Senatorial approval. At a time when more and more Republicans are waking up to the threat of expanded government power to operate without observing traditional limits on their police power these votes are a major concern.

The overall point of my post is this- Try to ignore the media as much as possible. and please don't vote.
