This is how a debate is supposed to be moderated...
It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere.
Is this a debate or just two people constantly interrupting each other? Just turned it on.
Biden is definitely entertaining. From the last 5-10 minutes since I've turned it on I'd say he's winning.
I really don't think Ryan wanted this to be as much about the GOP's behavior in Congress as Biden is making it.
Yeah, Biden is crushing Ryan. Can't wait for this to hit the Republican blogosphere. The Paul "Intellectual Heart of the GOP" Ryan annihilated by Joe "Foot It's What's for Dinner" Biden. Of course, the people who thought Biden wouldn't do well forgot that he's an expert debater while Ryan is completely inexperienced.
When survival is the goal, it's into the spider hole!
"there aren't enough rich people and small businesses to tax"
Yeah better cut PBS.
Yes, I did. I still think Obama beat him handily on the facts. The thing is, these aren't measured objectively. As the debate wound down and I realized how it looked to low information voters, I acknowledged that Romney had probably "won", thanks to lying his ass off. I'm evaluating Biden by the standard of the electorate (or at least trying to).
Did I hear this wrong or was Ryan's logic just "Because taxing the top income bracket more won't fix the economy by itself, let's just not tax them more." Please tell me I heard that wrong
"Do you have the specifics on how that 20% will be financed?"
-- Ryan goes off on a tangent
Ryan's too stuck on "here's the maths" imo. Not enough charisma to pull it off without sounding nerdy.
Paul Ryan asked for specifics about tax plan, still doesn't have any.
Wasn't he expecting this question?
