Biden.
I think Bill Maher’s tweet last night said it best: “Hello 9-11, There’s an Old Man beating a Child on my TV”
Biden won hands down.
Biden crushed Ryan. Crushed him utterly. While he missed one lie, he called out so many, and repeated so many easily verified facts that I think it will resonate all the way down to Ryan’s congressional race (he’s running for reelection to the House too you know – a sterling show of his faith in winning the Vice Presidency). Ryan went through two glasses of water during the debate – while Biden didn’t touch his; showing how badly Ryan knew internally that he was losing and was trying to steady himself. I was amazed at how well Biden did, and I have friends who are conservative who are quite dismayed right now. They thought Ryan was going to easily win, not get manhandled.

No question – Biden.
Paul Ryan consistently appeared to muffle his ideological extremism. Occasionally he edged closer to revealing his Ayn Randy self on taxes, social security, abortion and the beleagured John Galt in the Colorado canyon and then reverted back to a state of deny, deny, deny. He (or his crazed handlers) came into the debate determined to hide who he really is. They may have succeeded, and that was the genesis of the smirk — He believed he got away with it. Joe Biden, as down-to-earth as a guy can be, isn’t a great debater. His histrionics were a distraction from what he should have been about –quietly but determinedly dismantling Ryan’s arguments with an occasional smile but, more effectively, with a fierce sincerity forged in his deep experience. He had to draw Ryan out to defend his indefensible positions and Biden’s histrionics were an ineffective method in that effort.
Grand Slam for BIDEN!
It’s a shame we can’t have Biden debate Romney.
Biden, of course. And he did it without even having to mention Ryan’s most influential mentor, Ayn Rand.

biden looked like a befuddled old man trying to understand his son explaining how to set up his VCR. Lied about the embassy not requesting protection, lied about the intel reporting it was reaction to the video, lied about not being for the wars, maybe after he was for it. He voted for both. I think the vein meter on his head about to pop out tells it all. Grandpa chuckling at the table doesn’t count for a master debater. “trust me” isn’t any better argument than hope and change.
He’d do better selling books on late night tv on “what the govmt doesn’t want you to know”.
Trust me is Ryan and Romney’s argument on their tax plan, Steve.
Umm how’s that koolaid steve? Maybe you weren’t watching the same debate as everyone else because Biden clearly mopped the floor with that liar. He started with pointing out how Ryan voted to cut funding for embassy security and went on from there.
Steve obviously has no respect for those who are older and infinitely wiser than he or lyin ryan. And then i saw a clip on Al Sharpton’s show of that fu*kin pig turd Rush Lumbar bitching about how rude, mean spirited, condescending etc. Biden was. Of course what the Limpballs gave was a perfect description of himself. Rush Lameballs thinks it was perfectly gentlemanly of him to call a young woman that he didn’t agree with a s**t, several times on his pathetic hate fest radio show. Limbaugh is puking porcine package of putrified pus.
