In a radio interview three days ahead of his debate against Vice President Biden, GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan on Monday contended in some of his strongest language yet that Democrats are distorting his and Mitt Romney’s record on the issues.

“They’re just going to call us liars for a month, is basically what they’re going to do, it looks like. … It seems pretty clear that their new strategy is basically just call us liars, to descend down into a mud pit and hopefully with enough mudslinging back and forth and distortion, people will get demoralized and then they can win by default; sort of a choice of the lesser or two evils,” Ryan told radio host Frank Beckmann on Monday morning.
