The 'Real-Thing' Biden vs Ryan VeeP Debate - Live Webcast

Tyler Durden's picture




 

At 9pm Eastern, the debate that we suspect will go down in infamy begins. As the two Vice-Presidential candidates square off in a David-and-Goliath, young-and-the-restless, Palin-vs-Couric, 'Marquez-Pacquiao 3'-style debate-a-thon. The critical question remains - will Ryan ask if he can call Biden 'Joe'? Pick up your drinking-game cheat-sheet and grab the popcorn as the battle for of the ages begins...

 

Obama's Odds are sliding...

 

Some of the best V.P. Debate moments...

 

Dennis Miller sums it up...

 

 

and here's the real-thing - the live-webcast...

 

and here's the CNN Live Link

Biden..."who do you trust on this." I say neither of you. Biden "we'll print until you bleed" Ryan "now that's something we can agree on." Two spenders arguing who will spend is all I see.

I have to disagree on this one.   I do believe that we have more freedom and liberty under ANYONE other than Obama and the current crop of Stepford-wive-democrats we have now. 

Biden's disgraceful performance in indicative of the shit that the democrats and the leftist media have been shoveling for over 25 years now.  It's all about accusing folks of being racists, anti-women, anti-education...they have no real ideas other than SPEND.  

Even Clinton went along with the crowd - once he was dragged there.   This fuck we have now will be defiant to the end, of either his reign or the country. 

We can discuss the bankers and their croni-ism but the fact of the matter is that Obama is the worst of both worlds...a crony capitalist fully up the ass of wall street and the fed, and a totalitarian-communist-dictator. 

By the way, I'm no big Republican supporter, I've been an independent since the day I could vote, since 1981, and we've got some bad ones now (Graham, McConnel, come to mind) but as far as Romney, I will be freer and better off under him, of this I am sure.   Obama will clamp down on us all.   It is coming.  Now the TSA is going to force people to wear shock bracelets?   Thanks Oblunder.

I don't think Biden is a Narcissist.

He's an enigma, for sure, but it is quite obvious he has no business being in a position of leadership.

He might best be described as a circumstantial by-product of how We've managed to get so far in an environment of bullshit.

Good bullshitter in a forgiving environment is a far cry from Narcissism.

It is no wonder there is no bi-partisanship with this administration. Biden is an incredible jerk. Who would in there right mind want to meet with him half way on anything? If you talk down to a vp candidate like that can you imagine how he is in other circumstances?

I'm trying to be kind here. I think this is just so bad.

Just the facts, ma'am:

An hour into the debate, a survey of more than 300 debate watchers from across the political spectrum finds that Vice President Joe Biden is handily beating Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) by a margin of 65 percent to 35 percent.

The survey, conducted for HuffPost by OverTheShoulder.com, is dubbed a "Smartphone Town Hall" and draws on a random sample of more than 300 voters. The members of the panel are watching the debate live and answering questions sent to their phones.

OK Here's the Guardian from the UK:

 

Joe Biden wins on points – but not by enough to change anything

My first reaction: Joe Biden gave it his best shot and it worked well, connecting with viewers and, I would venture, he won on points. But nothing near the sort of rout that Obama suffered last week, and nothing so dramatic as to change the course of the race as it is.

Paul Ryan's best moment was the administration's weakest point: the Libya attacks. But on other foreign policy questions he had nothing to say. But even then he was fluent enough, although passionless.

To put it another way: I don't think Florida's swinging back to Obama on the evidence of tonight. But some bleeding has been staunched.

Draw on points seems fair, but Joe needed to win big. Problem for Joe is that while his substance may have been ok, he came across as a real douchebag.

Joe was in a no-win really; in the sense that all Ryan needed to do was be an OK guy and let Joe be the babbling old idiot he usually is.

If Joe would have shut up and stopped being an irritating idiot for a second, Ryan most likely would have done damage to himself.

Since the Guardian is to the left of the NYT, that translates into a win for Ryan.

Also, it's as if Biden didn't want to win - Biden comes across as old enough to be Ryan's grandfather.

I hate both these guys. Biden showed his ass- he is an ass. Ryan is the snake politician but is clearly smarter than what we have now. Just scares me.
Too bad we can't get a simple honest public servant that wants to make this the greatest country in the world---ah the youthful ideals of civics 101.
Guess I'll just write in the best guy for the job, Ron Paul, and then endure a few more years of pure shitshow.

The last real man to be President was Theodore Roosevelt.

"... holding elective office as a New York State Assemblyman, Governor of New York, Vice President, and President, he was also a deputy sheriff in the Dakota Territory, Police Commissioner of New York City, U.S. Civil Service Commissioner, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and Colonel of the Rough Riders *, all by the age of 42, at which time he became the youngest man ever to hold the office of President. "

"Roosevelt was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize (not Noble) in 1906 for his work in the negotiations that led to the Treaty of Portsmouth ending the Russo-Japanese War in 1905. This made him the first American to win a Nobel Prize in any of the categories."

Compare that to "The 2009 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to U.S. President Barack Obama "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples" WTF?

"Strange as it may seem, high school football, college football, and even the Super Bowl might not exist today if President Theodore Roosevelt had not taken a hand in preserving the game. As originally played on college campuses, the game was extremely rough, including slugging, gang tackling and unsportsmanlike behavior. Quite a number of players died (18 in just the year 1905 alone, with 20 times fewer players than there are today). Interest in becoming a football player was declining!

But Roosevelt saw merit in the game. It built bodies and could build character, a sense of team and never giving up. Ten of the Rough Riders, the soldiers who fought with him in Cuba, gave their occupations as football players when they enlisted in 1898.

So in 1905, President Roosevelt summoned representatives of the Big Three (Harvard, Yale and Princeton, the universities who first played the game and who also set the rules of play) to the White House. In his best table-thumping style, Theodore Roosevelt convinced them that the rules needed to be changed to eliminate the foul play and brutality"

"Roosevelt started his efforts to preserve Yellowstone National Park as early as 1894 when he as president of the Boone and Crockett Club (a hunters' organization comprised of eminent scientists, lawyers and politicians) worked the Secretary of the Interior to enlarge the park and improve its governance. The resulting legislation provided new levels of protection from commercial development and "ecological destruction". Conservation of natural wonders and natural resources became TR's legacy. "

Does make you wonder where we are headed.

Roosevelt was a jackass.  He didn't just end the Russo-Japanese War, he encouraged Japan to start the war and take the Korean peninsula after assuring Korea that the US would protect them. 

"All the while Roosevelt had said "I should like to see Japan have Korea".[8] Bradley maintains that the Korean government labored under the misunderstanding, which the Americans fostered, that the country had the support of the Americans when, in fact, their fate had already been sealed."

His deal to end the Russo-Japanese war stabbed Japan in the back.  He set in motion the rise of Imperial Japan causing all sorts of problems.  His 5th cousin FDR finished off Japan by refusing to negotiate against war with the Japanese government whose failure to make a deal with the US cost them power and allowed the military to take over.  The rest is history.
