Subject Paul Ryan voted against the stimulus bill, then asked for funds from it for his district. So long to his reputation.

Original Message WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan on Thursday denied for a second time that he ever lobbied the government for stimulus money, even though he sent letters -with his signature - to the Energy Department and Labor Department asking for millions of the program's dollars on behalf of two companies in Wisconsin.

Ryan's new denial in an interview with Cincinnati's WCPO-TV contradicts letters that Ryan wrote in 2009 to Energy Secretary Steven Chu and Labor Secretary Hilda Solis seeking stimulus grant money for two Wisconsin energy conservation companies. One of them, the nonprofit Wisconsin Energy Conservation Corp., later received $20.3 million from the Energy Department to help homes and businesses improve energy efficiency, according to federal records.

It appears as though Ryan isnt as squeaky clean as first thought. He voted against the stimulus bill and has said repeatedly that he didnt ask for any of the money for his district. Romney's pit bull seems more like a chihuahua now.
