Biden totally won the debate. Even the moderator could not get Ryan to
give any details on their various plans to miracuously resolve every problem.
If they accomplished anything it was to further prove we women cannot and
will not trust them to have control of us and our country.
How in the world could Ryan give any details. Every time he tried to say something, Biden was laughing, grinning, making sounds, etc. I thought Ryan showed a lot of restraint. Haven't you tried to talk to a child and seen that child laugh, giggle, be silly, etc. when you are trying to say something serious. Isn't that disturbing. Does Biden do this in the presence of diplomats, foreign dignitaries, or just anybody? If Obama wins, please pray that something doesn't happen to him because we would have laughing hyena Biden as our President.
The moderator did a fantastic job. Congratulations Martha Raddatz.
I do think Ryan deserves some kind of recognition for only moderate lying, which we all know is very hard for him. He obviously was working at it, opting to just avoid giving any direct answers at all.
Irving 99, moderate lying ? The only lies being told is by your slime democrats. FOOLISH ONE.
Why are conservatives always so angry and belligerent? Must be a testosterone depletion....
Good job, Mr. Vice President. Thank you for taking that little punk to the woodshed and giving him a lesson on foreign policy and schooling him on domestic policy too.
I will say one thing for lyin' Ryan, he did a pretty good job for a rookie in front of millions of viewers.
Martha handled him well too.
I found Mr. Biden to be immature and offensive. Laughing and mugging during a discussion of serious issues like Iran's nuclear aspirations, America's poor jobs picture, etc., was depraved and childish.
That said, I think this debate was a draw. Mr. Biden gave Mr. Obama's voters the usual "Joe" routine (red meat to them), and Mr. Ryan did no harm to Mr. Romney's campaign while proving that he can deal patiently with someone who is being boorish. We learned nothing new about anything either campaign believes.
I did find it a bit disconcerting that the same man who said he and Mr. Obama did not know the Benghazi embassy had repeatedly requested more security also told us that "we will know before Iran gets a nuclear weapon." Gulp.
I love how in two debates, neither the President of VP answered what they were going to do to promote jobs. NOTHING! NO ANSWER! And the press gives them a free pass. If it was a republican in office. This race would be over, a land slide! Thanks for nothing press.
I want Freedom with Romney/Ryan 2012
Ryan held nothing but his listless soul after Biden wiped up the floor with him. Call it like it is and stop trying to make this sound closer than it was. What ever happened to reporting based on facts.
morphadite, no matter what you think the next president will be Mitt Romney. Take it to the bank.
The monitor showed her true liberal colors and if you think different get new glasses or go back to school.
1. A woman has a right to choose, and no one in this country has a right to push his religious beliefs on another. Remember why we are all here folks?!?!!!!
2. If you are in the middle class and deduct your mortgage interest on your taxes, that will go away with Romney/Ryan!!!
3. Health care is now taking a stride in the right direction and without Obamacare, the small business owner would be simply out of luck because not only was it completely unaffordable before, the cost was rising consistently and no was being held accountable in the health care industry including pharmaceuticals, hospitals, physicians, etc. Obama's desire to stop Medicare fraud is a "giant leap" for Americans.
4. My taxes as a small business owner have been better with Obama, and I am middle class.
5. If you value your American service men and women and want them out of the middle east, we will be out in 2014. With Romney/Ryan, we will be in war after war after war because greed and power are the name of their game.
6. The only job I see feasible for Paul Ryan would be an audition for "The Munsters" as he does have much similarity in appearance especially when he is trying to convince us all that he "tells the truth!" He is as believable as Sarah Palin seeing "Russia from her backdoor!"
Go Obama/Biden - FORWARD!!!!
Let's not forget that Obama wants these service men and women to carry their own health insurance to cover their wounds and other injuries suffered in combat! This is because he loves them so much!
Obama has seen to it that ballots going to our troops were sent out late. He wants to make sure that they won’t be counted in the election! Because, most of our troops tend to vote Republican this was done to show how much Obama cares for them!
I bet the courts say these ballots have to be counted!
This is the real Obama showing his real love for our troops!
Biden was loud, obnoxouse and disrespectful! He was intolerant of any facts but his own. In essence he was just like his boss!
Most of Biden's facts were inaccurate to say the least. At best he seemed a rude drunk or maybe having a gerbil loose in his pants! At worst he came across as a Dementia patient!
This man is currently number two. Let's change that on Election Day!
It seems that the same intelligence that Biden says failed them on events in Lybia is now good enough to warn us of Iran's Nuclear progress.
Truely Biden is in the first stages of Democrat dementia. He can't remember what lie he told last!
