My Advice To Paul Ryan?

It's simple -- stop acting like a Democrat:

Vice-presidential nominee Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) backpedaled Monday from a claim in his Republican National Convention speech that President Barack Obama was responsible for the closure of a General Motors plant that in fact closed during the presidency of George W. Bush.

"What they are trying to suggest is that I said Barack Obama was responsible for the plant shutdown in Janesville. That is not what I was saying, read the speech," he told NBC's "Today." "What I was saying is the president ought to be held to account for his broken promises. After the plant was shut down he said he would lead efforts to restore the plant. It’s still idle." * * *

Nice try, but he should have just kept his mouth shut. When I read he was trying to backpedal from his claim that Obama was responsible for the plant closure, the first thing to pop into my head was "Wow -- that's just what a Democrat would do in a similar position."

Stand up tp the media pressure, Ryan.  Own the lie.  Don't run away from it.  Make it a part of every one of your stump speeches.  Your ticket has decided that the only way to beat Obama is to lie about him.  Why change your strategy now?
