In over the last 4 to 5 years of reviewing the various fact check sites I've notice the Repubs are much more scrutinized with their facts and claims than Dems.
Why is that ? liberal bias ? the fact check sites have only the Dem facts and not the Repubs facts ?
There is a reason that every time you review a fact check site 6 to 7 times out of 10 they are nailing some Repub for being misleading, or in some cases telling an outright lie.
They are able to create talking points with the help of their right wing think tanks such as the Heritage Foundation and the Center for American Progress. They present this cooked data with all of the conviction of a snake oil saleman and the low information middle class voter eats it up.
These debates tend to be a joke. Ryan and Romney make so many misleading statements you would need a computer at the debate desk just to check the truthfulness of the statements.
Ryan made one statement that I've loved. When asked about specifics of how he could close enough loopholes to cut taxes by 20% and not affect the basic middle class tax loophole of the mortgage interest deduction. He said that they are creating a "framework" and then they would get bi-partisian agreement.
If that isn't a bunch of BS then I've never heard BS in my life.
