Starting with Jerry Brown in 1976, I’ve been to nine Democratic conventions and seven Republican conventions. And, for better or worse, there are some convention speeches I’ll never forget. Ted Kennedy in 1980, promising “the dream shall never die.” Pat Buchanan in 1992, urging Republicans to fight the “culture wars.” And Barack Obama in 2004, declaring: “There is not a liberal America and a conservative America — there is the United States of America.”

To that list of memorable campaign speeches, now add one more: Paul Ryan’s acceptance speech to the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa. That speech will also go down in history — as the biggest pack of lies ever told to any political convention.

The deliberate lies Ryan brazenly told a national audience were so stunning they shocked even some conservative commentators. Yes, the Washington Post’s James Downie criticized “Paul Ryan’s Breathtakingly Dishonest Speech.”

Meet the GOP ticket for 2012. Mitt Romney wants to be commander-in-chief. Paul Ryan’s already liar-in-chief.
