Live Thread: Vice Presidential Debate 9:00 P.M. EDT 10/11/12 Joe Biden vs. Paul Ryan

I would ask that FReepers keep the images at bay during the debate to keep the speed challenged in the mix. Thx

Free Republic...when I get nervous...I watch by Proxy

:!

I refuse to do Tweeting, Facebook and even Powerpoint!ha.

I accept brief, terse texting but there is no guarantee that I will text back..and all my friends know that.

My cell phone has a message if I am on the phone and someone is trying to call in that says,” Please calll back. I am on the phone with someone more important than you.”ha.

I’m looking forward to an analysis from Krauthammer, and possibly a shot of Beckle crying in the men’s room. haha

Yup, there’s Bomber, flipping off Biden for the camera.

Best Looking too! I stick with FOX all day long...makes the day fun! I get to drool on the girls and laugh at the Shepster!!

Hey, Glock!

13:00 minutes and counting down!

C-SPAN

I often miss things by typing on FR but often see things I missed too.

good point..keep the images on the down low.
