You putrid mass of phlegm - Ryan has more intelligence in his little finger.. even Biden could probably school you, you little filthy piece of dried goat bile.

Actually, I'd like to see you go before the cameras, Good guy 83...never mind, I think I already know what the outcome of that would be.

WOW, read another post of Amanda regarding another subject and she was just as venimous..........didn't have her coffee yet? If this is the mind bent of many Republicans no wonder they lost last time........sure doesn't show 'rational' thinking.

Apparently, ABC’s senior foreign correspondent, Martha Raddatz, has no business moderating tonight’s vice presidential debate because the boss of one of the men she’ll be grilling attended the 1991 wedding of a guy she divorced 15 years ago.
Some conservatives have questioned her ability to be objective about Joe Biden, given that Barack Obama is close to her first husband.

I know you are only interested to providing early cover for Paul Ryan's performance but (i) Martha Raddatz is widely considered to be one of the best journalists this country has; (ii) the Romney/Ryan side has definitively stated that they have no problem with Raddatz moderating and (iii) how un-objective do you figure a woman whose EX-husband was friends with a guy who now happens to be President is going to be? They are probably divorced for a reason. Gimme a break!

Right on, Joe...and did you see how she applied the heat to Biden? ...;-)
Can you imagine Obama wining the election and then something happening to him? Boy, we would be in deep kimshee!

Wow quite an over reaction to my input amanda. I understand these men are probably smart, i don't even think biden would use the phrase school you. So he must be semi intelligent. My point was neither of these men are up to par on helping to run our great country. I feel this cannot be the best we have to step into this role, but hey that's politics! Lol

AMANDA........how did you arrive at that opinion? Seems to me Ryan is just another BS Repuke...........and seems to me to be an old fashioned 'snake oil salesman'. A brain is a terrible thing to waste.

Back when Biden had real hair, he knew that debts mattered until he was in control of them and then all that mattered was the votes and the power.
“Why do I believe we face such a major crisis?” Biden said. “We have been running huge deficits for five years, and now we are clearly headed for continued huge deficits as far as the eye can see. We have emerged from what may have been the worst recession since the 1930′s, but we have emerged with incredible economic weaknesses.”

Good one, Nancy, and you're a brain surgeon, right? I guess you'd know about wasting brainpower. Num sane?

30 minutes in and one thing is evident, Joe Biden is one of the biggest bloviators out there. Spare us, Joe...please.

As for wasting 'brain power' Paul......ahem!!!! Lived long and hard and learned much so (according to your pic) I have lots and lots more experience than you do. Also, Paul, didn't you know that 'sarcasm is a weapon of the weak'? Tsk tsk...

I cant even watch the debate with the split screen and Bidens creepy smirks, laughs, eye rolling......honestly it's beyond creepy and his denture's are about to pop out.

Have to admit, Biden did laugh a lot..........but was better than the blank looks and evil eyes from Ryan. There is just something about his looks that put me off.... but then, what do I know, according to some..........just love these 'debates' here!!

Even Ryan was shocked at Bidens bizarre behaviour....but thank god that will all be over soon when Obama and Biden are sent packin.

@Chris. Yikes. So you also saw that dark spot on the back of Ryan's pants as he was leaving the podium? I thought it was just bad lighting. Does Paul have that problem often? Ryan needs a Lisa Rinna intervention!

Nancy, what's with the insult! Do you really think it was BUDGET CUTS that kept the embassey shorthanded or MAYBE the fact that OBO is fabricating another lie for failure to appear at DAILY security briefings when dialing for dollars in VEGAS is more important. Do you need some more KOOL AIDE?
Ric

@Peter Troll. Since you started drinking the Kool Aide, you ought to finish it up.

NOT A LIE, Peter.............think you should get your information from sources other than Faux News...........I am stating a report about budgeting items in the house etc... AND it is a fact that the Republicans voted against or should I say 'for' CUTS IN MONIES GOING TO OUR EMBASSIES..........READ MORE AND GET THE FACTS... as for your sarcasm mentioning dialing for dollars.........stuff it....sarcasm is a weapon of the weak........perhaps you should think on that for awhile...NOW, I'm off to do other important things besides arguing with someone with a lack of the FACTS..........
