What regime?

In the USA, we have Administrations, not regimes.

Brush up!

And as for bullying? Sheesh - it's politics. It's dog eat dog and it's dirty.

Biden was no more or less a "bully" than Romney in the first debate.

What also struck me was the fact that "outside" of the debate they both seemed to genuinely like each other as people if not as "politicians".
Why is it an issue that they didn't provide facts about their tax cuts? Isn't the the same regime that said we must pass the healthcare bill to find out what's in it?

Once we elect R & R we will find out what the tax cuts are!

You can't have it both ways.

Did I hear correctly or did Ryan say that we should "absolutly apologize for America" when the mod asked about something US servicemen had done in Afghanistan? I am pretty sure he said that.

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Mitt has show that he can't represent our country on an international stage. He couldn't even visit the Olympics without insulting our closest enemy and breaking their national security protocol. He also made a ridiculous statement about Russia being our top geopolitical enemy. These are far worse gaffes than anything Biden has said.

You've got to know that Biden won when the Romney campaign is sending their people out to complain that they thought the moderator was terrible and gave the edge to Biden. Sounds like the Obama campaign last week complaining that the moderator didn't keep control of the debate. As for people complaining about Biden being to animated, jeez! That's always been his style of talking. What did you expect? It's got him where he's at today. Too bad if that made Ryan look like a kitty-cat by contrast. It was that same kind of demeanor that won Romney the debate last week and I didn't see any Republicans complaining then about Romney's rudeness.

Being smart, humble and polite is a good thing which Ryan portrayed!
I guess Biden's parents didn't raise him up right, because it showed
during the debate, which should be his last time to speak on TV,
Biden embarrassed himself and the office of his Vice Presidency
to the whole world! What's worst, Obama even praised Biden for
his performance, it just takes one a** to know the other!

You are correct, I meant to say "gravity". Thanks for pointing that out. Levity is what Biden actually displayed during much of the debate, which was anything but appropriate.

Thanks again, I will edit accordingly, and then go have my morning coffee, lol.
