When DEBATES ATTACK!!

I’ve had bullshit session with less interruptions.

I’ve fought with my wife with less interruptions.

And if in some bar discussion your opponent did what Biden did, what, I wonder would have been the result?

I have no idea what this debate will do because certainly there are 2 components

1. Who won, and why?
2. Did this affect any voting?

But the mocking, and clearly put on smile, and contemptuous interruptions were disgusting and to put it mildly, off putting. Biden’s behavior and demeanor detracted from the information exchange, and had me waiting for Ryan to smack Biden, and praying it would happen.

On this basis, Biden lost himself the debate.

Never the less Ryan missed a few absolute knockout punches.

Benghazi was a no brainer, and Ryan did not press the VP’s lie back into his face. The people on the ground in Libya asked for help, we have the email, and the public testimony. Ryan should have simply looked into the camera and told the public they have just heard an untruth, then tell them why.

But when Biden interrupted to tell Ryan that the stimulus was not only a success, but also that contrary to Ryan’s claim, the govt had found no crimes in the use of stimulus moneys, Ryan could have asked him if that was true, then why ONLY TODAY, did the IRS find that the ENTIRE Solyndra fiasco was in fact an IRS dodge to establish a huge tax write off. Further that if the govt has a role in giving moneys to private industry it should be in fostering pure research, not paying for factories of political supporters.

Ryan also might have asked Biden where this kind of behavior was when the administration was negotiating with the Russians over missile defense? Instead, he could have remonstrated, we have the president over an unknown hot mike in a truly candid moment - namby-pambying the Russian PM, begging him for time until he has more room to give up more after the election.

On the defense, Biden’s biggest score, that Ryan wrote to him for stimulus funds, was easily deflected by asking why the funds were not pushed down to local levels, where businessmen, and local efforts are known. Why was the system designed to have all moneys be requested from the VP? Perhaps THIS is why Solyndra and so many other failures and clear waste occurred.

I believe this is evidence of being over prepared. The debate is an SAT, not a chem final.

Never the less, Biden lost the debate by showing how much a liar needs to bluster his way across the facts.

But IMHO, as I posted yesterday, Ryan should have come back as ‘I tried to be polite but I am a son of a bitch’. The nation is in trouble and we need sons of bitches, not blustering smirkers.

The New Republic, an old school liberal -turned more progressive to survive weekly, like the Weekly Std, declared Biden the clear winner, and never mentions his behavior, so I think we are going to see the president attempt this behavior.

Romney needs to be the firm unflappable businessman who indicates clearly he can be a son of of bitch, if his opponent is an interrupting, smirking actor whose faux efforts are an act designed to prevent truth from reaching the public.
