By bringing to light the many factual inaccuracies in vice presidential candidate Paul Ryans speech to the Republican National Convention on Wednesday, a gallant group of fact-checkers has once again defended the unblemished honor of American electoral politics, protecting its famed innocence from any stain of corruption. Ryans accusation that the president funneled $716 billion out of Medicare at the expense of senior citizens is highly misleading, and it also ignores the fact that Ryan himself has called for identical cuts in payments to health care providers, read a statement posted by the gallant knights of PolitiFact, who, along with their courageous brethren at FactCheck.org, have ensured our political discourse remains forever unsullied by the slightest duplicity or fraud. Furthermore, when Ryan asserted that Obama ignored the Simpson-Bowles Commissions plan to resolve the debt crisis, he failed to mention that he was on that commission himself and actually voted against the plan. With the entire American populace seeing the truth behind vice presidential nominees lies and adjusting its political sympathies accordingly, the noble and selfless band of fact-checkers rode off victoriously into the dark of night.
