ANY reference to the kennedy mob like that should be answered with NO... I am FAITHFUL to my WIFE and FAMILY!!!Back in the days when debates had one person at a time talking -- surely you remember those? -- Benson's comment left Dan Quayle deer-in-headlghts looking and speechless.
Ryan pretty much ignored SloJoe Butt-In's comment-barely-noticed-because-he-was-incoherently-rambling-all-the-time.
The perfect response:
No, Mr Vice-President, I do not think I am Jack Kennedy. I was only pointing out that Jack Kennedy supported and implemented tax cuts to spur economic growth, just as Ronald Reagan did.
It is YOUR policy of raising taxes during weak economic times that is in direct contradiction to the legacy of President Kennedy.
JFK would get kicked out of the Democrat party today for these comments alone:

Not very creative thinking on Joe’s part to recycle an old line, but the dumb suckers watching must have thought it was cool, so it was a good idea.
Ryan knew this was coming sometime in the debate and should have come back with, “No, not any more than you are, Joe, but he knew a lot more about how to fire up an economy than present day democrats and the obama administration.”
That would have brought the roof down!
If Kennedy were alive today, he’d be a RINO and the left would detest him.
Ryan missed the rebuttal:
“Mr Vice President, my policies are almost identical to President Kennedy’s while your policies have very little in common with his.”
The truth is that Kennedy’s policies, especially his economic policies, are much more similar to Romney/Ryan policies than to Obama/Biden.
If Kennedy was alive today and had the same policies as he did in 1960 the democrats would be calling him a far right extremist.
Hard to believe that anybody was actually seriously mad about this -- or even pretending to be mad.
Obama is going to have to smoke a bunch of crack and bath salts, on a binge starting right now, if he is going to match Biden’s weird performance in the next debate.
Personally if I would have remembered it I’d have said something like “At least when I use someone’s words to back up my position, I don’t try to claim they’re my own words.”
Malarkey. Jack Kennedy did cut tax rates, growth followed, and Ryan was right. Biteme looked like a horse’s arse.
Question: does anyone know or have a link to polls directly asking about the impact of the Biden “laughing” debate?
Pollsters say the Obama debate hurt him.
I thought Ol’ Joe was going to Channel Lloyd Bentsen there for a moment.
