Paul Ryan admits lying about his incredible marathon time claim September 2, 2012 By Capitol Hill Blue Paul Ryan, who spewed lies non-stop in his GOP convention speech last week, got caught in another falsehood over the weekend and now admits lying about his incredible claim of raining a marathon in under three hours. In August, Ryan told radio host Hugh Hewitt he had run a marathon in 'two hours and fifty-something' minutes. That would have been a pace of less than 7 minutes a mile — something recreational runners seldom accomplish. So Runners World magazine checked the record and found that Ryan has run just one marathon in his life and finished the 26.2 mile course in just over four hours, not under three as claimed by the GOP Vice Presidential candidate. Ryan's response? 'I misspoke.' What he didn't say was that he has misspoken before…many times. An Associated Press fact check of his convention speech found it riddled with lies. A veteran GOP consultant, who asked not to be identified, told Capitol Hill Blue Saturday that lying is a way of life with Ryan. 'The man is, and always has been, a serial liar,' he said. 'He will be Mitt Romney's Sarah Palin.' Ryan says he should have 'rounded his marathon time to four hours, not three.' And this man wants to be Vice President of the United States.

the title of this thread is a lie. he admitted to misspeaking, not lying. people misspeak all the time. even the president does this... or are you suggesting he was lying when he said he had traveled to most of the 57 states?

Let see, wheels: Offering an excuse for someone else's behavior is a lie because you do not believe the excuse and is the equivalent of lying about one's own accomplishments. Nice try.
2/3 majority? Sound like the Republican Michigan legislature were the lives of million of people will be affected compared to the wording of the platform that is unlikely to alter the lives of anyone.
Again nice try. At least you provided links. Thanks for that.

Nice try. let me get out my "duke nonsense" decoder ring so i can decipher the ridiculousness above. are you saying that i'm lying b/c i don't believe ryan's "excuse"? so now you know my mind? wow, you liberals sure have some amazing supernatural skills. 2/3 majority? Sound like the Republican Michigan legislature were the lives of million of people will be affected compared to the wording of the platform that is unlikely to alter the lives of anyone. so ryan's marathon time is of utmost importance but the democrat platform is meaningless? your selective outrage is mind-boggling, but not surprising.
