2012 Vice Presidential Debate Thread

[Conservative]

As with the Presidential debate, very happy there were no audience outbursts.

The moderator, IMHO, did a fairly credible job (more so the Jim) of keeping the participants in check.

Overall, I have to score this one as a draw. I don't think either one made any serious gaffes. I don't think either scored any serious knockouts. I don't think either one helps or hurts their candidates chances.

Prediction: Most liberals here will claim victory for Biden... many conservatives will call it a draw... Fox will gove it to Ryan... MSNBC will give it to Biden... There may be mention of a renewed thrill up a certain someones leg.

Ryan puts his religious views above the rights of the American People.

 

[hazlnut]

Republicans have a plan for poverty and for those who don't have jobs.

Let them die.

well I'll be damned, Obama is President and we STILL have poverty (worse under him), NO JOBS and people are still dying

The economy is not a microwave oven.

Foreign policy- Biden won handily.

Domestic policy- tie.

Likability- Biden by a mile.

Biden lost on likeability.

i disagree. but then again, i think ryan lying makes him not likeable.

And since Ryan didn't lie that means he was more likeable then the condescending man on the other side who did lie.

First analysis is coming from David Brooks, a wingnut, and Biden is the one who had his shit together.

Biden was obnoxious.

Sometimes when he was laughing. I kind of wanted him to be mean the whole time.

The Republicans will take responsibility. Not for losing this one they won't. It's the moderator....it's Biden interrupting......

You seriously think Biden looking like a jerk interupting every 10 seconds gives him the win?

Biden was obnoxious.

That adolescent fits of nervous laughter made him look absolutely foolish.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

I'm sorry but when Ryan looks into the camera like that he is such a dork. Biden won this bitch.

Yeah, Ryan the HaySeed.

Several times, he was in over his head.

He wasn't terrible but he's just not ready for the national stage. Personally, I hope he never gets any power.

Most shocking was that he actually said that we should all agree with his religion. For an American, that is just plain STUNNING. But, we have heard this lack of knowledge of and respect for the Constitution from Ryan before. He's basically a little policeman - his way or the highway.

Only to brain dead libtard hacks like you.

I'm assuming you got that quote function wrong.

Sorry... I bolded his statement, which is what I was referring to. Guess it's kinda hard to see... I'll try to edit that post.

Just curious. Have you ever read that?

What do you think about Mitt's plan to bring immigrants with degrees here but cut education for citizens in this country?

Immigration | Mitt Romney for President

 

[Seawytch]

Like I said, Biden tried to overcompensate for the Presidential debate when President Obama wouldn't call Romney out on any of his lies.

Waiting for the fact checkers...

So the guy works out, what's you point?

 

[Toro]

CNN saying Biden lost on style and was condescending.

 

[thanatos144]

I can't believe how desperate the democrats are that they are spinning like tops ...... They must have watched a different debate I was

 

[rightwinger]

Bottom line

No impact on the polls or the election

 

[J.E.D]

This media trickster started out her question by POINTING OUT BIDEN HAD A SON WHO SERVED (inferring Ryan had not)

That is a Hollywood trick to make the person YOU WANT TO WIN A DEBATE INTO A HERO. And by omission, DISPARAGE HIS ADVERSARY.

What a chickenshit hostess. She's corrupt, a trickster, and really, really, I hope I never see her on National Television

TRICKING THE AMERICAN PUBLIC AND FOOLING THEM

ever again.

Media trickster?

Take a chill pill.

Of course you did... When people use facts to disagree with your twisted ideology what else do you have left but to be mean and nasty.
