Fact Check

As you all may remember from the news programs there are people out there who dissect political speeches the second that politicians finish talking. Most recent victim was the Vice-Presidential Candidate Paul Ryan and his speech to the GOP Convention. I watch to the speech and thought that it was a great speech that was geared to make Ryan out to be the Vice-President attack dog that many said he should be.

The question is why would you put some false information in a speech like that? How hard would it have been to find more credible attacks on President Obama's record? There are a multitude of different arguments that can be made to boost the GOP but Ryan and his speech writes chose to risk it has been the focus of a lot of media.

I feel that the media jumped on him a too hard because of some of the stuff he said in his speech. He did not  lie at any point he told his side of the story and some of it may have been a little stretched.

I want to hear your opinion on this speech and the over all message that the GOP took to their convention and how effective you think it might have been. Will the coverage of the Democrats be as hard as it was on the GOP? 

To better check the facts that are spread in this campaign I recommend Politifact.com.

Fail Friday

Last night was the final night of the Republican Convention filled with stories about how Mitt Romney and his past. This has been the part of the convention where they begin to tell his story to the american public. He is looking to reintroduce himself and show what he can do for the country. They brought in a surprise guest to draw more attention to the night as well. Clint Eastwood was the surprise and he brought with him a skit of comedy and dry wit. Some say that he truly fell flat on his face and was not what was needed on the final night. From what I saw he used comedy and his dry wit to energize the base and make fun of the President.

 If you missed it watch it on Youtube. Let me know how you think it went and if Clint should have actually been a speaker at the convention.

 Hope you find it entertaining.I welcome comments.
