I say that after watching an hour of anything.

... Ryan's bright, but he's letting Biden push him around. Not very appealing.

I prefer Biden over Obama too. I have to side with the non-Marxist almost everytime.

However, about Biden being tough or whatever, Ryan, IMO, is not responding all the time, because Biden is just bullying BS.
Ryan gets credit in my book for not falling into traps

Why can't you get it through your head that Obama is not remotely a Marxist? I found Phatscotty!:

It's like you're just so scared to criticize Romney/Ryan. Sad, really.

[Mr_Adams]

It's like you're just so scared to criticize Romney/Ryan. Sad, really.

Gotta agree with you, hear. I don't understand how somebody goes from supporting Ron Paul to supporting these schmucks on either side. I'm always told that I'm wasting my vote if I vote Gary Johnson, but I have to wonder, is this a wasted vote any more than voting for the lesser of two very similar evils? As soon as you let yourself be honest about both parties, and approach the discussion with no red/blue preconceptions, all the mainstream politicians become very ugly shades of purple.

I'm opposing Obama/Biden.

I have never told anyone voting 3rd party that it's a wasted vote. Mostly because I have been a 3rd party voter my whole life with very, VERY few exceptions.

I did whatever I could to help Ron Paul get the platform to win. We got the job done here in Minnesota. We did our part. However, in the end, Romney won the platform.

So now we have a choice between Romney and Obama. I'm sorry, but I think the most important thing is to get Obama out of the White House. Is that really so hard to understand?

My first choice is not running. I am settling for my 4th choice

Didn't say YOU told me not to vote 3rd party. But after that debate, with the exception of rhetorical skill, can you honestly say there was a huge difference between the two? Half the time, it was a game of he said she said, arguing over fake numbers and who made what claim with no way to actually settle anything.

Anyone else notice how all the Facebooker Conservatives are criticizing Biden for bullying, yet they also loved it when Romney did most of the same stuff?

We knew Biden was gonna bring it. I lost $11 to Katherine because I bet that at some point he would take off his shirt. But I'm not disappointed, he was great. Like Maher said, it was like watching an old man thrashing a child on tv. Biden showed us that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but they're not entitled to their own facts.

I didn't mean to imply that. mostly it was just a line to show I understand exactly what you meant

I understand your point. I also understand that the candidates understand what kind of audience they are talking to and trying to connect with, which arguments will score points and with less consideration for how accurate or pertinent the issue itself is. The low information fodder is in play because if you don't target the low information voters, you lose.

How will you feel if Obama is president for the next 4 years? Do you have any comment about what I think the most important thing is?

I'm glad he didn't!

I just don't see why anybody thinks Romeny will be so different from Obama. for example, Romney talked a lot about repealing Obama care in the primaries. Now it's become repeal and replace. How long until it's just "tweek" or "fix" Obamacare? Which ISSUES are most important to you, Scotty? Is Romney significantly, or even ANY, different on these issues?

I am not talking at all about difference. If I have to state something, yes, I am aware that OBama and Romney have many similiarites. I've said so many times in the past but there ya go.

I was asking you about Obama, and if I ask again that will make 3 times and I will probably give up on it. If you honestly believe that Romney is not even 5% or 13% or 24% or even 1% better than Obama, then fine. That is your opinion. I will find that hard to believe though.

What about religious liberty? You don't think Romney has a deeper understanding and respect than Obama?

I think I will be annoyed when either of them win.

I think Biden came across as rude, if I was on the line about voting that would have affected me. I hate it when people don't let others finish their argument. I want to hear what they say and use my brain not scoffing and laughing in the back ground. Ever hear of letting someone hang themself? If they are really spouting nonsense, then let it happen.

Ryan came across as weak to me. That is what Biden wanted and it happened. How should someone behave in a debate when being mocked and interrupted? I think once someone gets the upper hand in a debate (even if it has nothing to do with issues) they come across as the winner.

Also, debates suck, they never actually talk about the issues in a real way or divulge more info about policies they want to happen. They would lose because debates are about promoting the best at BS.

Fresh polls are showing that 68% of woman had a favorable response to Paul Ryan, and found him "nice, charming, and well informed". 14% had no opinion, and only 16% of women had a favorable response to Biden. Some of the words women used when describing Biden's performance were "Creepy, childish, and old".

Biden already embarrasses me as the vice president of America, and now he has embarrassed the entire male gender as well

If Ryan had a stroke and shit his pants on stage, you would hail it as a rare glimpse into the vulnerable, sensitive soul of Paul Ryan.
