It's an attack Ryan has used before, and one that the Detroit News has called inaccurate: "In fact, Obama made no such promise and the plant halted production in December 2008, when President George W. Bush was in office,
*Yawns*
Oh look, it's 'Boxy the Robot' and the fact check squad.
Turns out that Ryan didn't lie...Plants were shut down in 2009. Bush wasn't POTUS in 2009.

The Truth-O-Meter Says: Ryan said Obama broke his promise to keep a Wisconsin GM plant from closing. But we don't see evidence he explicitly made such a promise (LIE 1)-- and more importantly, the Janesville plant shut down before he took office.(Lie2)
We rate Ryan's statement False.

The Tea Party has been virtually invisible at this Republican National Convention.
"Not a single one of the 38 speakers during the convention's key prime time hours has even mentioned the phrase, according to an examination of their transcripts -- a sign both of Romney's own distance from the movement and that polls have suggested that voters view the movement negatively."
TeaBaggers are Toast!

As I guessed, The GOP loves Hollywood and the GOP groupies would suck up some old movie actor to help with the reappearance of the Ghost Of Ronald Reagan, who's come back to life just for the GOP Convention. One old actor deserves another. The cast for tonight will be "Mittens the Clown", "Bedtime for Bonzo Reagan", and "Dirty Harry"! What a crew!

Dismiss the tea party at your own peril, they are quite active behind the scenes.
Good Place for em.

Republican Convention Bombs As Viewership Drops by 17 Million
The GOP’s Mitt makeover isn’t going over well with American television viewers. Compared to night two of the 2008 Republican convention, viewership is down by 17 million.
Paul Ryan is no Sarah Palin. The viewership for Paul Ryan’s speech was down across every network compared to what Sarah Palin averaged in 2008. NBC was down 3.5 million viewers. ABC was down three million viewers. CBS and MSNBC were down 2 million viewers each. CNN lost a whopping 5 million viewers compared to Palin’s 2008 speech. Even Fox News was down 1.5 million viewers. In total, only 20 million people tuned in for Paul Ryan compared to the 37 million who watched Sarah Palin.

LMAO! Thanks for playing... how childish!
During GM's 2008 annual shareholder meeting on June 3, 2008, CEO Rick Wagoner announced that the Janesville assembly plant, along with three other GM factories would close. GM extended its annual summer shutdown an additional two weeks and planned another ten weeks of shutdown for the remainder of 2008 because of excess inventories of SUVs made at the plant. In October 2008, GM announced Janesville Assembly would be idled December 23, 2008 when production of SUVs would end
A crew of 57 production employees continued assembly work at the Janesville Assembly until April 2009, completing the Isuzu light truck partnership and then an additional 40 to 50 "skilled trade employees" worked to decommission the plant.
The decision to close for GM was in June... production ceased in December 2008. The only work done after December was completing the Isuzu shipments and factory machine tear down.

Exactly! Thanks for backing up my statement. Plant didn't close until May of '09.
