What Everyone Needs To Know Before Watching The VP Debate

1. Romney and Ryan would eliminate health care for 31 million people who are poor or disabled. Medicaid, which helps poor Americans, some seniors, and children afford health care, is right in the crosshairs of Paul Ryan’s House budget. He proposed cutting $1.4 trillion from the program, a move that would kick about 11 million people off Medicaid over the course of ten years. The Romney-Ryan plan is even worse, and is estimated to force about 44 million people off the program.

2. Ryan considers Social Security a “Ponzi Scheme.” In the Fall of 2011, Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) called Social Security a “Ponzi scheme,” and Paul Ryan agreed. Ryan wants to privatize the program.

1. I love thinkprogress.org

During the last debate they were on Twitter refuting every single one of Romney's lies as he spoke them.

3. Ryan comes from a wealthy family, he doesn't give a shit about the poor or the sick or the elderly.

Joe needs to bring up Ayn Rand in every other sentence that he says during the debate.
And when Ryan tries to disavow his unswerving loyalty and belief in Ayn Rand, Joe just needs to tilt back in his chair and laugh right in his face!

4. It's a known fact that Ryan made Ayn Rand required reading for his staff and is

caught saying so on a tape made in 2009, I think. In it he extols the virtues of Ms. Rand and BRAGS about making her work required reading. Let him try to wiggle out of that one since the Fact Checkers have already verified it and if he dares deny it, the tape should be ready to roll the minute the debate ends and the pundits start parsing the whole thing.

I despise Paul Ryan and am looking forward to this debate. It is my fondest wish that Joe would tear him limb from limb....whilest smiling and remaining pretty calm about it. I am rational enough to know that probably won't be the way it goes down, but perhaps Joe can at least hand Ryan his ass when they are finished. That would be SWEET!

6. No, I think the cons will need the drugs.

Meanwhile, "libruls" will have drinking games during the debates, as cancervative talking points are rolled out, one after another.
