No, but they CAN and DO appoint Supreme Court judges that CAN make the decision on Abortion.
THAT'S why it matters to BOTH sides what the President and VPs' position is.

I was unaware of any abortion legislation in the court system working their way up to the Supreme Court.. Maybe you can list them for me.

Of course not, but whats that got to do with the abortion issue since its already been resolved as legal.
Again show me the part where Ryan was jumping out of his chair to outline even the BASICS as to what he and Romney plan to cut/close with regards to loopholes/exemptions to pay for their tax cuts while simultaneously advocating more defense spending?
Show me the part where he explained the Romney/Ryan healthcare plan instead of simply attacking Obamacare? Show me the facts where anyone has said that Iran is anywhere close to making ONE bomb, let alone up to 5 nukes?!?!??!
OMG, let the whining and excuses commence!! BTW, whatever happened to Ryan the "strong debater" and "Game-Changer"? Apparently not quite so competent when it's actual give-and-take, and he's not simply "pontificating"...
Excuses commence? I pointed out about 10 pages ago that I have no dog in this fight, I am a registered libertarian, and was undecided who I was going to vote for until tonight (as I know a vote for Johnson is a wasted vote), with the way Biden acted there is no way I want him one step away from the presidency.
I heard a joke the other day from a coworker, that the real reason Biden is VP is that he is protection for Obama, nobody wants Biden as the next President.
Every-time Ryan said something funny or stupid he laughed...then countered him.
I agree here. The funniest one was about the stimulus though and Ryan's request for money. That was particularly hilarious and I can see why Biden was laughing at him lol.

That was Bidden tonight. He knows Ryan was pointing out how this administration is failing so much and it is embarrassing to Joe. All he can do is smile and laugh, he can't answer why they made the mess so he deflects with making faces. Like our kids do when they are caught doing something wrong.
He really didn't point out too many failings at all if you look at it objectively. Everything he said, Biden countered him with something much more logical.
Ryan spoke of the current economy, Biden spoke of how it has gotten better over the course of the last couple years. Ryan spoke of troop withdrawals in Afghanistan, Biden countered with Afghanis should be taking care of their own country and Obama/Biden would get us out of Afghanistan so more troops wouldn't be put in danger. Ryan spoke of Medicare and SS and his plan, Biden spoke of the history of these programs and how they would be substantially changed and people would have to pay more money in addition to their medicare taxes paid over the course of their lives if Ryan's plan went through. Moderator asked about specific plans with Romney/Ryan tax plan, Ryan gave generalities, Biden called him out on generalities and explained how all people would be subject to closing of loopholes via losing mortgage deduction and healthcare deductions and others that middle and lower income people use primarily.
On every topic, Biden had a counter attack for Ryan and didn't give him the room Obama gave Romney to go on and on with negative talking points.
Want to mention I loved the moderator. She did a fine job. Might have said that earlier but loved her. She was really great at keeping them in line.
