not much on here about the flogging Ryan gave Biden. Just sayin'

Nobody else anywhere seems to describe the VP debate that way. I watched parts of it, and Biden seemed more persuasive on Medicare, though the rest was a muddle. Ryan scored points against ObamneyCare, and when he said the debate would serve the public better if Biden would quit interrupting, but otherwise he didn't make any convincing case for his own ticket being better than the incumbents. They disagreed about abortion, and Ryan seemed more theocratic on that point; Biden seemed to have a better grasp of the separation between church and state.

The gift that keeps giving.. since 1973... yes its time for a change!
Uncle Joes performance was just that... I think he had too much Scotch early on.

Not that anybody cared about that, anyway. His debate style struck me as holding the question hostage for further, non sequitur stumping and campaigning rather than actually engaging in the debate. His favorite bumper stickers were "The Choice is Clear" and "[Romney is] Uniquely Qualified."

Biden on Obama "No, on the job training!"

Well he sure was right about that...

Even Joe Biden does not believe in Barack Obama!

Paul Ryan got called on his BS. But the dems are honest when they get their ass handed to them. The repubs- not so much .

Well if dems are looking through rose colored glasses, then the repubs are all competing to be

"So then, after that, there's this exchange.

VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: Can I translate?

REP. RYAN: – so we can lower tax rates across the board. Now, here's why I'm saying this. What we're saying is here's a framework –

VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: I hope I'm going to get time to respond to this.

REP. RYAN: We want to work with Congress –

MS. RADDATZ: I – you'll get time.

REP. RYAN: We want to work with Congress on how best to achieve this. That means successful – look –

MS. RADDATZ: No specifics, yeah.

Raddatz did exactly the right thing. She asked a yes-or-no question, had a politician try to run the lamest kind of game on her – and when he was done, she called him on it, coming right back to the question and translating for viewers: "No specifics."

Think about what that means. Mitt Romney is running for president – for president! – promising an across-the-board 20 percent tax cut without offering any details about how that's going to be paid for. Forget being battered by the press, he and his little sidekick Ryan should both be tossed off the playing field for even trying something like that. This race for the White House, this isn't some frat prank. This is serious. This is for grownups, for God's sake."
