Ryan nailed for a bold faced lie on Face The Nation September 9, 2012 8:51 pm BuckGalaxy

And still won’t admit it!. WTF is this guy thinking??
You have to watch O’Donnel’s disbelief!

O’DONNELL: Now you’re criticizing the President for those same defense cuts you’re voting for and called a victory.

RYAN: No, no — I have to correct on you this, Norah. I voted for a mechanism that says the sequester will occur if we don’t cut $1.2 trillion in government. … We can get into this nomenclature; I voted for the Budget Control Act. But the Obama Administration proposed $478 billion in defense cuts. We don’t agree with that, our budget rejected that, and then on top of that is another $500 billion in defense cuts in the sequester.

O’DONNELL: Right. A trillion dollars in defense spending, and you voted for it!

RYAN: No, Norah. I voted for the Budget Control Act.

O’DONNELL: That included defense spending!

RYAN: Norah, you’re mistaken.

And Romney himself just said it was a mistake for republicans in Congress to vote for the defense cuts. That includes RYAN.

Wow. Just wow.
