I listened to the Palin/Biden debate...but did not watch it. I felt awful, as I thought Biden had ‘won’...although most people gave the victory to Palin.
What I noticed - Biden can lie with great conviction. And I mean just flat out make stuff up.
Example: Last debate, he said McCain had voted with Obama on a tax bill...turns out McCain was not present for that vote. It is very difficult to prepare for this type of complete fabrication...Palin certainly didn’t come in prepared to defend a vote that didn’t happen.
Another example - he denied Obama had said he would meet with Ahmedinajad. We all saw him make this statement during a nationally televised debate...but Biden emphatically claimed it did not happen. Again, very hard to prepare for such an altered reality.
I hope Paul Ryan is prepared for this. All politicians exagerrate to a degree at some point during a debate...butRyan has to be prepared for the unpredictable, out of left field, fabrication.
Some other whoppers we all remember: Katie’s restaurant (close 15 years prior), Home Depot on Union Street (there isn’t one), average guy Joey Danko (washington lobbyist). Its an endless list of complete fantasy.
thats the problem the press helps them get away with lies..obama and biden operate like conn artists..what got obama was romney called him on it in a round about way..
