Here's what I love about the extreme end of the R base. Biden has a 40 year career in the Senate, most of it on the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, including a long stint as chair. He knows as much about foreign policy as anyone in this country, which is why he was picked to serve as VP to begin with. He has a long history of working effectively with both D's and R's to get things done.

Paul Ryan is only a Congressman. He knows absolutely diddly squat about foreign policy, just like Romney. He authored the Ryan plan, with plans to privatize social security, turn medicare into a voucher program, gut the funding for medicaid (which 70% of nursing home residents depend on). When experts try to do the math on his plan, none of it adds up. He also sponsored personhood legislation with Todd Akin in the House which would not only ban abortion in all cases (rape, incest and life of the mother) but would also as a side effect ban forms of birth control like the pill and IUD, and in vitro fertilization. Legislation like this is so extreme that when it was put on the ballot for a statewide vote in Mississippi of all places, it was shot down overwhelmingly by voters.

Paul Ryan is a radical, yet to listen to some of you, he's the next savior of the US, while Joe Biden is someone's crazy drunk uncle.

The lesson to be learned from all this is just because you WISH, with all your heart, that something is true, doesn't make it so. I like to deal with facts instead.

You have your right to your opinion of course as this is only politics.

Biden is and has been a teetotaler for many years. It's a well known fact. As for the rest of your post, it's too ignorance to even address.

List of teetotalers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Ryan is brilliant, and by all accounts, one of the smartest men in politics...

Now here we have a young fellow who was one of the uninformed one who believes all of obama's ads. You know, the ones filled with his constant lies. Most were not fooled by them, some were lacking the ability to think. Could that be you?? What flavor is the Kool Aid in your glass...?
Romney will be the most successful president in many years.
None of the BS you're trying to sell is working, because it simply isn't true. . Look at the polls, everyone else is waking up and seeing the truth. do you really want to be left behind once again? You are backing a corrupt and incompetent leader. If you and I are lucky, he will be criminally charged and humiliated.
You know what the straw man said, "If I only had a brain"... Straw Man? one of Dorthy's guys...
Pick up a book, read it, learn something, pretend like you have some semblance of intelligence...

He has been hanging around the senate for forty years, that doesn't make him knowledgeable, just makes him a freeloader. he is completely clueless... as are many who post here.
