Yep, this is a real difference between lefties and righties. Lefties will whine a bit, then admit it if the facts prove they are wrong. Even Obama just said, I had a bad night. Righties just cannot seem to possibly absorb being wrong. It blows their circuits. Does not compute! Far better to find someone to blame it on or deny it altogether.

Best thing about the debate was that Lyan Ryan cound not explain how they will make their too good to be true budget work. Obama needs to pin Romney to the ropes on this crap. I mean, the citizens truly deserve to know how the hell we can do all the tax cuts, balloon the military, and shrink the deficit. There is no there there, and we all know it.

A CBS News poll of uncommitted voters who watched the debate gave Biden the edge over Ryan by a 50%-31% margin.

He understood how to smash Ryan's weak positions. Ryan came off looking really weak when his position regarding debt reductions and the military were put on full display.

And look at the liberals here, they're positively orgasmic about Bidens performance. Clearly they identify with the smug, arrogant, self righteous behavior displayed by their candidate.

America is so fixated on car culture thats why.

NASA calls the shuttle a vehicle.

Any intelectual person would know what a vehicle is & that a helicopter is in fact a vehicle.

Biden gaffed like he always does, admit it.

LOL, all I hear is detail but it is above your understanding and comprehension that you don't know it when you hear it. As for Biden, if you think that is a class act it does not say much about you. Do you know what the velocity of money is? I am not going to spoon feed you. Look it up.

Biden's inappropriate smiles, his scoffing during Rep. Ryan's speaking, his obnoxious interruptions, and his rapid swings from toothy grins to serious faces all left the impression of an unstable individual.

Wait, did Obama and Biden know about the terror attack or did they think it was just people burning our flag and burning effigies of Obama.

Sour grapes for sure. I felt Romney didn't look 'Presidential' last week when he interrupted and smirked the entire night. I'd much rather the top of ticket be calm and 'Presidential' while the VP gets more spirited/combative.

Plus, details help a lot.

Unfortunately, sometimes negative publicity is better than no major publicity. However, I am impressed with Ryan's ability to stay calm as I could never do something like that, and keep control of my emotions.
i was certainly surprised by biden's statement that the military asked to be downsized.

i am just curious if anybody totalled the time that each speaker talked, and the moderator--as it sure seemed like biden talked a lot more, especially when ryan was also talking.

How do you know how Ryan came off looking if you didnt even hear Biden lie and say he didnt vote for putting the wars on a credit card?

Thurston Howell would also call his yacht a vehicle, but Biden is blue collar joe and he thinks of Oldsmobile and Fords when someone says vehicle.
