Do you actually not know what that clip was from?

I know it wasn't a formal debate but it was an informal back and forth exchange of ideas and vies (ie debate) in which Obama had more than ample opportunity to refute any false statements as you guys have claimed that Ryan made.

First, are you really so completely classless and ignorant that you think it would have been proper (or even within some neighborhood of mature) to interrupt the Congressman during his allotted speaking time? No... that's something only pathetically boorish right wingers do... during the President's State of the Union Address.

Second, are you also blind and deaf and unable to even notice that the clip cut off the response the President was commencing?

No, it wasn't a formal debate. It wasn't even an informal debate.

It was a six minute speech by Ryan that the President had the good grace to listen to.

My god, but you guys really are about as dense as plutonium.

Ryan an intellectual superior over Obama????

You are too funny !!!!

Obama graduated HARVARD LAW SCHOOL with a JURIS DOCTOR, magna c-u-m laude!

While Paul Ryan graduated Miami University in Ohio with a Bachelors in Political Science.

There's really no point in having a discussion if you think that every single person who is left of center appreciates trashy political commercials. Come on man...we don't eat the partisan red meat like people in the Tea Party.

What a lame ass thread.

You guys are talking as if you know these people personally. None of you are in any position to judge the intellect of Obama or Ryan. How in the hell would a bunch of nobodies like C-D posters know anything about the intellect of Washington politicians that wouldn't give you the time of day?

9 outta 10 people around here never even heard of Paul Ryan relative to anything other than the budget he tried to pass....IF THAT!!

Now in Bidens case... it's probably a good thing he's just a figurehead meat sack. The more he speaks the less he's taken seriously.



A guy to be proud of...

The DNC was all geared up for either Rice; a token choice pandering to the black vote, or Rubio; pandering to the latino vote and without enough experience. But Ryan? Now, THAT was a curveball! The left was caught with their pants down and were instantly forced into using lame personal attacks, because that's all they could do.

I can't wait to see Biden slaughtered by his own tongue in the VP debate. He better have an earwig because Ryan is going to destroy him.

If conservatives are comparing Ryan to Obama, than Romney is in trouble, IMO

interject a few facts? interject, that's just called interruption, unlike disrespectful republicans, some democrats know how to have discussions civilly. magna *** laude Hardvard Law Review, no intellenge?... plus, did you see my debunking of Ryan's mentally handicapped objections? get a hold of your baseless hatred.
