I can't imagine anyone thinking that we have anything but the worst choices before us in decades this time around.
Seriously....how can you make these statements when in fact Barack Obama was in no better position to be President than Paul Ryan? Using what logic and what experience are you supposing that Barack Obama was not also "way over is head" when he ran for office? What did Barack Obama do to prove himself that Paul Ryan has not?

You folks need to think about what you're saying before you say it. Just because you can type it doesn't mean you won't be held accountable for the idiocy behind it.

Joan Walsh just characterized Ryan's debate pretty accurately, "He looked liked an accountant who's numbers didn't add up".

If he's such a kind and compassionate man, then they should have been able to come up with any number of other "stories" to use as an example.

Why did they choose something so close to Biden's personal tragedy?

I think it was intentional.
Yes, of COURSE you think it was intentional because Libs are paranoid, self-centered, unhinged individuals. Normal people didn't think it was intentional. Romney has many years of random acts of kindness and because Ryan brought up one that I don't believe was mentioned at the RNC, the delusional Left thinks it was meant to hurt Joe's feelings. Stop. It's just too stupid.

And Biden looked just like his "mentor" (courtesy of Mark Levin)

Better than being so cold and calculating as to use a tragedy as terrible as losing a spouse AND a child in order to gain the upper hand in a political debate.

Then why didn't they use one of those (since there seems to have been so many to choose from )?

Why did they use the one "incident" that they knew would be close to Biden's heart?

All people talked about today was how Biden acted. So unless you're a liberal, that isnt something to be proud of.

In fact, Biden really was the poster child for liberalism last night. A rude, angry, jerk. That is how liberals are today.
I think you'd be hard pressed to find wanting to level the playing field for all Americans thru education, adequate healthcare, consumer protection legislation, updated infrastructure, better care for veterans and a cleaner environment, as the definition of "rude angry jerk".

Biden put Ryan in his place, which happens to be the place for far right wing ideologues that have benefitted from government policies, but no longer wants to extend them to anyone else.

BTW..Romney fired Jim Lehrer and stampeded over him at the debate , so you really want to talk about "rude jerks"?

Default The Republicans are whining today... That's gooood!

Waaaa, the other guy was rude! Waaaa, the ref was on HIS side! Waaaaaaaa... (continue till the page is full! )

Shrill, 100mph chicken-$&@$ whining on one side, relief and joyous energy on the other!

Do we really need a poll to tell us who won the Veep debate?

Now if we can just make sure Biden is Obama's debate coach for Tues...

Paranoid? Any party that willingly hosts a faction of "Birthers" and does not openly denounce them has incerdible audacity to call anyone paranoid.

I actually wasn't expecting Ryan to get crushed like that, I was expecting a boring debate with neither guy really shining, but Ryan proved to Romney he can't carry his own weight in this election. Not that it really matters cause the vice presidental debates don't mean much in the overall, but this one will give Obama plenty to attack.
