Way to go Joe..

It’s about time these guys got some of their nonsense tossed back in their face, and I think it was prudent that you took the role of ‘corrector in chief’ rather than the President this time.

Nice work buddy, thanks for fighting the good fight.

You obviously didn’t actually watch the debate.

Don’t let Forbes, or the “1 percenters” fool you, you 120 million, “47 percenter”, Seniors and Women voters. And for goodness sake, don’t let these puppet-like, ridiculous Republicans, in the true spirit of George Bush Jr. give you the proverbial “finger”. Ryan not only lost the debate, he was ingloriously, flattened!
Cover your assets, he debated emptier than a toilet paper roll.

I couldn’t disagree more, John. Vice President Biden tactfully and emphatically called Ryan on all of the lies, misdirection and simplification he offered. I do agree that it was clear Ryan was stuck promoting economic policies he does not believe in and which he knows don’t stand up to arithmetic (not mathematics, arithmetic).

Furthermore, Biden was the only person on that stage who demonstrated the knowledge and consideration to be the president if needed (save perhaps for Raddatz who also did an excellent job of keeping the two debaters specific).

It’s actually quite interesting the author viewed the debate as he did. I suspect he is trying to rewrite history by saying Ryan won. Perhaps he is trying the balance those who see how well Biden performed. Well, as was said recently, John Tamny, you are entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts.
