I will say, I was amazed at the questions by the mod especially the first question on Lybia and the tough questions to Biden 1st.
I thought “Holeeeee! You have got to be kidding!??? She actually is going to acquit herself as a serious journalist???”
I think she did and gave Biden plenty of opportunity to hang his boss with any albatross of statements. He did not disappoint.
However, I thought at almost any point Ryan could have pointed out the inconstistencies in the Barrack positions but, it’s tough when you are ginned up to go after a street fighter who never really took to his expected tempo and even near the end, Biden became a bit more reserved in his schtick.
I weigh it 70%-30% in Ryan’s favor and I might be a little charitable.
Hell, debating ain’t all that fun except when you are trying to break up from a relationship you knew you should have never got into in the first place.
But, that’s just me....
Excellent, as usual! After a 1/2 hour into it, I was so ticked off and was going to shut it off. I convinced myself it was important to watch and to stick it out.
After another 10 minutes, I screamed “That’s it”, shut off the tv and went to bed.
Joes lies were ticking me off enough....then all that weirdo laughing and smirking pushed me over.
Once the top of my left eye started “pulsing” I knew watching the rest would NOT be good for my health.
I saved a life last night by turning off the tv......MINE!!!! =)
I saw only about the first half-hour of the debate, but I have to agree that Joe Biden was rude, ugly, and obnoxious. It was predicted that he would take this dismissive line with Paul Ryan, and I was very pleased to see that Ryan was not flummoxed.
It would have been cute if he’d used your tactic, but it probably didn’t occur to him to practice it in advance.
"...* RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s
irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the
enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger
and fear.) ..."
I was waiting for Biden to cross his eyes and push out his bottom dentures for the grand finale.
If Hillary reminds every man of his ex-wife, Joe Biden reminds every woman of her boorish ahd overbearing ex-husband.
Why is nobody discussing the fact that Biden blamed the Intelligence community for the string of lies re the four murders at our embassy? A shameless lie, and everyone know it.
I’ll bet the CIA, etc., aren’t too happy with the White House this morning, being thrown under the bus and all.
“Biden was rude and condescending throughout the debate, and demonstrated flashes of anger consistently through the debate.”
As Peter Johnson said on FNC, Biden has no impulse control. Not a good quality for someone who could be Commander In Chief one day.
“If a wise man has an argument with a fool, the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet.” Proverbs 29:9
The strategy was actually good, but the actor overplayed his part. The White House knew they had to energize their supporters after Obama flopped so badly, but that in itself was half the problem since the focus should have been on winning undecideds rather than securing their base.
To that end though, Biden succeeded with his histrionics. Most of the hardcore lefties (like Chris Matthews and the folks at DU) loved it.
But ultimately he failed. In large part because Ryan kept his composure and so the contrast between them was striking: Biden looking both like a bully (constantly interrupting) and a clown (constantly laughing), while Ryan came across as unruffled by the rudeness of his opponent and someone who sincerely wants to help get the country going again rather than treating this as a game.
More than that Biden may have damaged one of few remaining things that his ticket has going for them - the likeability factor.
So you lost me on the “Wednesday night”
wasn’t the debate last night?
Mr. Mataz,
I would like to be number 147 on your ping list. That would be better than a pony!
Yes. Earlier I read a post from a Freeper whose daughter was in an abusive marriage; watching Biden last night, the daughter started feeling very uneasy and having flashbacks.
On another note, it's been my opinion that the blind devotion of Obamabots is due to spiritual deception. But recently I've been seeing Obama and his people in total denial of their culpability, digging themselves holes that will reach China soon. And now look at what became of their winning tactic for Biden. I am seriously wondering if God in His justice has sent a spirit of deception to THEM.
Yes, Biden’s openly disrespectful demeanor was a total turn-off. And I suspect it was so for more than just women. Ryan was so polite that the contrast was striking.
I’ve heard some analysts say this morning that Biden seemed like a grumpy old man. I disagree. My grandpa was a grumpy old man. Grumpy old men are funny and loveable. Biden was neither funny nor loveable. He was obnoxious and condescending.
I suspect that Biden intended to present himself as the experienced older gentlemen correcting the misguided young man. Instead, he came across as arrogant and condescending.
bttt, trying to see if I can get this buzzing again....
Joe Cackle&smirk lived down to my expectations. He lied and the media lapped it up as ‘proof of life’ for their democrap masters.
BTTT for Sunday crew.
