Ron Paul supporters BEWARE! Paul Ryan is a wolf in sheep's clothing

During a rally, Paul Ryan was asked why someone who would vote for Ron Paul should instead vote for Romney.

Yahoo reports Ryan's response:

"Do you want Barack Obama to be re-elected?" Ryan asked. "Then don't vote for Ron Paul."

Ok...typical politician (non)answer.

Ryan then paused to let his supporters clap at his brilliance. During that time, you could see him thinking. Perhaps he was digging deep into his mental notes about Ron Paul.

Ryan then let it fly:

There are many things that Ron has championed that I am a believer in. Especially liberty and sound money. Look at where we are. And this is where we all see eye to eye. We believe in limited government and economic freedom. We believe in pro-growth policies that say, You keep your money in your family's budget, in your family's business instead of sending it to Washington in the first place. That creates prosperity, freedom and jobs.

And on an issue where Ron has been particularly explicit, the Federal Reserve is yet again trying to bail out the fact that Obama, President Obama has failed on fiscal policy. All of this money printing, which is coming from the Federal Reserve, risks debasing our currency. It risks undermining the value of our dollar, it risks increasing prices on things like food and gas. And among the things that the government can do to harm its people, one of the worst things is to debase its currency. We need sound money, we need our money to have a reliable store of value, especially for people living on fixed incomes. That's an area we feel very strong about.

Yes...Paul Ryan grabbed "liberty" and "sound money" from his mental notes. He then threw in a few Kudlow-like cheerleader terms like "pro-growth policies" and keeping your money "instead of sending it to Washington".

That's basic Republican Rhetoric 101.

Ryan is just putting the bait on the hook at this point.

He then goes in for the catch by attempting to explain sound money and The Fed - the major issues that Ron Paul supporters are concerned with.

Ryan does a very sloppy job in covering the topics, but passes with honors when it comes to lying through his teeth.

Do we need sound money? Of course!

Do Romney/Ryan call to End the Fed? No way.

How about Auditing the Fed? No way again.

But didn't Ryan just state that sound money is "an area we feel very strong about"?

Surely, something that they feel very strongly about would be plastered on their campaign website right? The very strong stuff would be front and center...right?

Go to MittRomney.com and try to find it.

I'll save you time.

Back in June, Bob Wenzel shared the video shown below. In less than 4 minutes, you'll see just how "strong" Romney feels about sound money. (Yes that is Rand Paul...Sadly he's in on the racket too).



Bottom line: Ryan is trying to pick up votes, plain and simple.

Debasement and much less liberty are in store no matter if Obama or Romney are elected.

So if you're a Ron Paul supporter, don't be fooled by the wolf. Do yourself (and the rest of us) a huge good:

Don't vote.
