VP Biden and PBO are a perfect team…watching them tiogether remind me of watching beach volley ball…PBO set it and VP Biden hit it over. I like the fact they neither one of them care about being the star, they want to win…it is not about them for either one of them, it’s about us; we the people. I love the Obama/Biden team…they are winners!!!!!!!!!!
You’re so right – they work together. America is so lucky that they signed up to serve, especially after the disaster that preceded them. They are a perfect partnership – and you can see they respect and care for each other. I love that partnership.
Who is this Jim Lehrer people keep talking about? They say he was moderator at the last debate? Is this true? There was a moderator at the last debate?
Yup, I could see her referring to her notes often. But the most important was she didn’t let the lying lilttle pos get away with his clearly memorized talking points.
A hell of alot better than the guy who handle the Presidential debate. Once again woman show that they are just as good if not better than a man. Martha show Laher how it should be done.
The President showed up last week/set it up for VP Biden this week…that’s how you win in the gae me…what an excellent team (including the players behind the scene).
sorry, I was commenting on the article I linked to in another thread about people’s underestimating Joe Biden. Some people discarded the analysis of Biden’s debating prowess and instead said that it was “insulting” to POTUS. that’s why I replied to my own comment which referenced the article
Old lame ass Ryan has been in Congress for around 14 years, and the dumbass had the nerve to try to take on the best foreign policy master to ever sit in the chambers of the U.S. Senate in modern history. The VP sent his ass to the corner and put a dunce hat on his head.
I know, right! He kept name dropping ‘Gates’ and this person. And dropping the names of cities and provinces in Afghanistan! :tool: no, Little Ruan, just because you can pronounce the names doesn’t mean you know foreign policy!
Oh, Lisa, I found that particularly offensive. It’s like he memorized an atlas before he came on. And when he bragged about going to Afghanistan twice and JB said he’s been there 20 times, I thought Lyin Ryan should have given it up right there.
I know, right?! Trying to lecture Joey B on morality and religion and foreign policy! How many foreign policy committees has Ryan been on? ahhhhhhhhhh NONE!!!!!!! Shut up, Congressman Dead Eyes!!!!
Noticed he tried to brush off VPJoe’s trips by saying he and Joe combined had probably been there fewer times that the moderator, or some such? Poor Ryan.
Maryland, you all are so lucky. Rep. Chris Van Hollen was the fake Paul Ryan for VP Biden’s debate prep and from tonight’s performance, he did his job.
Joe B. can feel real good about his effort here tonight. He was ready to rock n roll, armed with facts and a believable sincerity which won the night. Well moderated, fun to watch, Joe B. was at his best.
Jovie, no thanks. Don’t care what that dipshit thinks. That’s why I watched cspan. Then switched back to the movie channel. Don’t need no republican fluffer telling me bullshit. Thank you.
I fell in love with Jo Biden all over again tonight. He was talking to us–seniors, women, veterans–real human beings. Little twit was pompously spouting talking points with that insufferable smirk. I would think people would vote for Obama/Biden just not to have to be subjected to that Ryan face anymore.
That’s so weird. Before the debate began, polls showed that 50% thought Ryan would win and 31 or 32% thought VP Biden would win. Now it’s reports the same number but flipped. Freaking awesome.
I honestly think PBO and JB should do a better job at selling their accomplishments in a time limited format like this!!! These fuckers – Romney and Ryan – are good at salesmanship and they will lie and distort record to win the game. If PBO dont step it up in the next two debates, I think only a divine intervention can get him reelected
No, President Obama ‘must not’ do whatever the heck it is you an anonymous poster on a blog tells him to do…
President Obama, an incredibly brilliant, thoughtful, evolved, mature, intrinsically decent, focused and most hardworking President who has pulled off in 3+ years huge accomplishments his predecessors only dreamed of – and in the face of unprecedented obstruction and hostility – needs absolutely no pointers or instruction from any one us…
Just let PBO be PBO, he is not a screamer or shouter but he is VERY good at putting across his point. Just because he was perceived to have had a ‘bad night’ in the first debate does not mean that “he will need divine intervention to win the election”. Just let the man be himself.
Were you watching a different debate? Biden did a great job at selling the administration’s accomplishments. And, if you actually listened to PBO last week, he did as well. Just shoving lies in your face is not selling. It’s conning.
You sound like a paid troll. I think Biden did great and despite media trashing President got his points across. Now that he has permission to go after Romney he will be even stronger without risk of the angry black man meme. Furthermore, no debate changes the fundamental difference between the two programs. Only our side supports the middle class, seniors, minorities, women, LGBT. The more they campaign and do organizing the better we will do. One of my patients just came back from a work trip to Nevada. He sat at a table with 40 businessmen, all strongly in support of President Obama. People are paying attention. They know who has their backs.
“I think only a divine intervention can get him reelected”?
What? Lies and distort the record to win the game, but not the votes. And certainly not women’s votes.
Sorry, no divine intervention is needed here, only angry pissed off women trying to tell us what to do with our own bodies.
You don’t have to sell the truth….real people who are paying attention, can read, do arithmetic and most of all THINK FOR THEMSELVES will know.
You can leave now…..
If Americans go for the sales pitch from two slick used car salesmen, when they have four years of evidence of a successful presidency at their disposal, then so be it. We can’t ask any more from President Obama and VP Biden. We need to ask more from ourselves. People can’t be that stupid that they can fall for Romney and Paul Ryan’s lies. No spoon feeding; people need to do more thinking.
YOU rocked it FoxFireTX! and the thermometer is a-rising as of NOW! Thank You! Now, all o’ y’all looking to empty that small change from your ourselves to make BIG Change for our country: https://donate.barackobama.com/page/outreach/view/2012/Pamela 😆
I especially liked the part when asked about their religious beliefs, Ryan said that his Irish Catholic beliefs guide his personal and public life, leaving no doubt that he would impose his own beliefs on everyone. Biden, on the other hand, said even though his personal beliefs were guided by his faith, he and the government have no right to impose their views on everyone.
I don’t think the religious question had a place in a governmental debate on politics. It should have been on their ideological views on social issues. I could care less about their religion, or what faith they belong to. I’m only interested in how they plan to govern.
I think it is important that voters know that the repubs use their so called religion to legislate and to justify their positions re abortion, same-sex marriage. They always talk about their beloved constitution, which clearly states there is suppose to be a space in between the church and government. Frank Schaffer (sp?) has a great book about the beginning of the repubs using the bible/religion to govern.
This + a bajillion. It’s also known as Theocracy. And it’s not just social issues. Even Shrub made comments publicly about how God told him to end tyranny & terrorism in Iran &Afganistan respectively and used that as a justification for war in both of those countries along with those pesky (and non-existent) WMDs. Jeff Charlat’s books, The Family and C Street are a bit of an eye-opener also.
Sorry but there are other religions practiced here and to single our Catholics as if their view holds more credence than others is wrong. That, plus the folks who use religion to shape their political views know who they are. Those who don’t know how religion impacts folks political views won’t care anyway. It doesn’t belong in politics period, at least not as the candidates identify themselves.
“With regard to abortion. I accept my church’s opinion – position – on abortion. Life begins at conception, that is the church’s decision. I accept it in my personal life. But I refuse to impose it on equally devout Christians and Muslims and Jews. I just refuse to impose that on others, unlike my friend here, the congressman. I do not believe that we have a right to tell other people, women, that they can’t control their body.”
Catholic bishops are doing themselves a disservice with their political shenanigans. Especially with their attacks on the Nuns on the Bus. They’ve lost all credibility.
Professor Watson form Lynn University scored the debate. Gives edge to Biden for control of agenda, style, and push back. Ryan used statistics, Biden used personality and heart plus statistics.
Also CBS NEWS SNAP POLL of uncommitted voters: 50% Biden won; 31% Ryan; 19% tie
She said Joe nailed it on facts. Ryan had no specifics, as usual. And on Libya, she said that the administration gave out information as they knew. She did not blame the Romney/Ryan campaign for the inquiry, but said that they were looking for something to take advantage of, like Romney had said in the 47% tape. And this found this Libyan situation to be just that and have politicized it.
so biden clear winner tonight which of course means over the next few days….a mittbot surge in the polls. there, i told you all what will happen now, so maybe no one needs to fill these comment sections with every word joe scarborough, jake tapper, and mike barnicle and so on will say?!? please?
I don’t have a problem with a recap on TV punditry stuff, but the woe is me, can you believe it, media overdrive stuff gotta go. Fat chance that’ll happen, but we can dream can’t we?
i actively work to keep that stuff out of my life, and it’s become increasing hard to avoid it here too, in the comments specifically. chips keeps the main posts positive with tidbits i don’t see other places so that’s really valuable still. but there are times where it’s impossible just to scroll through certain people’s comments since there are so many now all with stenography of the media, which is stenography of the republican party.
don’t we all know what the media will say already? i mean, really. i see no value in me knowing every detail in what joe scarborough says tomorrow morning. none. mainly because i already know the general essence right now! i’ll always have the main posts at least if current trends are allowed to continue.
I hear you, but different strokes for folks. I can be alright with a synopsis, and I’ve posted a few. I only do that when he has a guest on the show who was good and said something noteworthy. I do not post what Joe or his crew say, cause we already know their slant. I don’t get the Chuck Todd hysteria either. It’s like he shows up on the TV for the very first time each day. As a matter of fact, I don’t get the whole pundit play by play, but that’s just me.
i find it funny how MSNBC panel was so quick to tell us how poor Obama did vs Robot, but they’re acting like what Biden did to Ryan isn’t a big deal. They think Biden won, but they say Ryan didn’t give a weak debate. HUH?! They’re so quick to remind us how Obama got “destroyed” by Robot all the time, and after this debate, THIS what we get from them? They should be jumping out their seats with joy! Ed, Al, and even Chris, surprisingly wasn’t all that praising about Joe’s performance beating Lyin’Ryan. smh…
ObamaBoy, it doesn’t make any sense…but I figured that this (or some version of this) would be their response (they are so predictable/they never disappoint)…their scripts are written by….
BIDEN was awesome. When Biden called lyinryan SARAH PALIN, I fell out my chair laughing so hard. That was amazing. I loved, loved the way BIDEN just laughed at lyinryan’s ass.
Who cares? It’s bullshit. Why do you watch this shit them when they confirm their bias, you come here posting about it like you’re shocked? No one cares about CNN and their bullshit poll.
Raise your hand if your genuinely surprised (so we call all throw pillows at your head for having it stuck in the sand for months)…
It’s TeaNN… don’t you GET it?
Oh yes, I voted! I know why the right wing has got their knickers in a twist: They were hoping the VP would make some “gaffe” that they could mke fun of all day tomorrow, starting with Morning Joke. He didn’t…..they’re mad!!! We’re happy…..our Joe was terrific!
My apologies LLO if I offended you by posting my tweet. I was only trying to be more proactive in cutting the MEE-DEE-YA off at the knees from trying to reframe the “outcome/winner” of this debate seconds after the debate had concluded–as they did with PBO’s debate. As much I have a deep, DEEP hate of the Repugs. I hate these Media mofo F#$%s that much MORE. That and several glasses of red zinfadel I’ve imbibed this evening gave me the courage to respond in ALL CAPs in various places back to Mr. Hack. Plus I love the WHO— I’m old skool across the board. What can I say? 🙂
Ok folks, I’m officially pooped. See y’all tomorrow. And Obaman? Assuming you’re not a troll — though I think you are — maybe you should stick to decaf. Just sayin’.
Thank you Mr. President for selecting Joe Biden as the VP! Tonight (actually he does this everyday) he proved the wisdom and maturity of your first major decision after winning the nomination of your party.
VP Biden was amazing great tonight! I did not bored at all. What I loved the most was how he would not be denied to get his message across. He would jump right in when Ryan was going over his time even the moderator. So very proud.
VP Biden, made us proud and his smiling as Lyin Ryan talked was an indicator that Ryan you are lying moments. I have a tendency to smile when I feel like someone think you are stupid for believing their crap. I used sniling as a tool to keep calm. And the person speaking would stop talking and ask you what so funny.
I just sent David Gregory a email and I told him that, from what I heard from the Presidential debate President Obama won because he told the TRUTH. I told Gregory about his VP debate tie B.S. that hearing from Karl Rove and his buddies don’t count.
The day I found out that he actually composes and sends his own tweets I almost collapsed in shock and laughter. The shit he tweets is unbelievable. His timeline looks as though he’s on crack. 😆 😆 😆
And VP Biden was rude to a twirp who thought he could bring a butter knife to a gun fight,spewing right wing talking points to a 30 year Senate veteran who was the head of thee Foreign Policy committee and has been Vice President of the United States for nearly four years – plus, the twirp tried to hoodwink the American people. Romney was rude to the President of the United States who is is an entirely different stratosphere to lying, unworthy Romney and who deserves and has earned respect.
My position is don’t dish sh*t out, if you can’t take sh*t in. Republicans are good at flinging sh*t everywhere, all over everything, but if someone flings it back at them, it’s time for the smelling salts and fainting couches. For a party whose politicians always jump in front of the first available camera and talk like they’re the bravest folks in the world, they are the biggest wusses and the biggest jokes in the country. Governor O’Malley is right, when people see republican politicians, they should laugh at them. They should have careers in theater instead of in politics.
majiir, Republicans are nothing but loud talking cowards. They may have managed to cower the media and some Democrats, but there many fearless Dems. who are no longer willing to take their BS! When the Dems. fight back and expose their lies they start crying like babies. Sean Hannity is one of those loud talking cowards. Today, VP Biden made mince meat of their golden boy who is just another empty suit!
Nathkatun7
This is for people who live and die by teh polls. I don’t because I know the Corporate media. The only poll
I care about is when President Obama is back in the white house. (our vote)
I saw a group of 8 – One elderly woman who called the vote a tie said she was now voting for Romney ??? – Hope she has SS and medicare – that will wake her up.
One young woman who called the debate for VP Biden said he was rude and it was below the dignity of his position to speak that way ???
A 30ish man said he was still undecided because he was too busy working 12 hours a day to take note of the political issues ???
Thank you friend! Extremely good day, irrespective of the # of hours. And, desert is reading all these comments and twitter feeds and being delighted but not in any way surprised that VP Biden torched the liar.
Aye – the debate was a great report to come home to. Sorry about the long day – but always worth it when things go well. VP Biden probably in the same frame of mind at the minute.
Good to see you Bob! I am surprised you are still up fighting after all your marathon meetings today. I really love the fact that you continue to remind Americans what Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor, and their co-conspirators, have been doing to destroy this country since Jan 20, 2009; all because they wanted President Obama to fail. I also had to work tonight. I just finished watching the replay of the Debate and VP Biden really “kicked” Paul Ryan’s butt tonight.
Great to connect with you, nath. Thank you for your support of the effort to keep it in the forefront that these guys were willing to drive America into a Great Depression, crash our credit rating, destroy GM/Chrysler, etc., for one and only one reason, their obsessive, racist-driven hatred of our great President. Will continue pressing that message until we re-elect Obama/Biden and a much stronger Dem House and Senate, i.e., this is a message that we need to continue driving after our successes on 6 Nov right through 2014 mid-terms and beyond. These individuals and those who bankroll them are way more dangerous than any external threat to our society.
Hope you get some rest!! I’m going to be crashing soon, as well 🙂
Thank you Bob. You need the rest and so do I. I have to be at work tomorrow morning so I plan on turning in soon. Sleep well. Thanks for all you do on behalf of many of us and on behalf of the President.
Bravo, Dudette! You hit the nail on the head! If it weren’t for growing social media, this country would be in big, big, trouble. The so called 4th estate has moped into a corporate propaganda machine.
Absolutely, DF! That’s why it’s so important for President Obama and the Democrats, across all layers of governments,– but especially Congress — must win this election to nullify the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$! By the way, I am very upbeat about Dr. Carmona. I think he can be a shining star from Arizona. I don’t have much money, but I did send a very, very, small contribution to his campaign just to demonstrate that there are many of us in California who support him 100%. I’ve urged trusted friends to do the same. Just wanted to let you know that I am rooting for your next U.S. Senator from Arizona, Dr. Richard Carmona. I know how hard many of you have been working to turn your state blue.
Agree with you, nath, about Dr. Carmona. Since I have no doubt my Rep will be re-elected from our very blue 36 CD, Dr Carmona is one of several candidates in other States the few coin I can spare is going to them, e.g., Powell in VA, Zerban in WI, and a few others 🙂
We are absolutely on the same page, Bob! Nothing would satisfy more than to see both Paul Ryan and Eric Cantor defeated. I am absolutely sending a few of my pennies to Powell and Zerban.
Didn’t see these comments…just got back from picking up my son at work:) SOOOOOOOO right about Dr. Carmona…I could FINALLY be proud of someone, and have someone in WA that represents me! If anyone can send a few bucks to his campaign, that would be appreciated, I’m sure. President Clinton was campaigning with him at ASU yesterday…big rally on campus. Carmona and Penzone (to rid us of that nasty piece of work, Arpiao) would be awesome…and of course, PBO….if the Hispanic community here votes…we can turn this place blue! That would be SO fitting to me that that community has the power to do that…especially after SB 1070. That would make me have a perpetual smile:)
i’m not even sure it’s about profits. many of the big networks and newspapers keep tanking, or bled money for many years, especially when they turned into republican propaganda machines instead of old school journalists, yet they keep doing it. they keep the same people writing or on-air no matter how many years their ratings go down. they never try anything new no matter how much money they lose with “news.” i think the owners of the big media conglomerates, who are a small group of billionaires, bought it all up to promote their own interests, which means getting as many modern day republicans in office as possible.
i just made the mistake of clicking on certain people on twitter, and it seems so many of the newer media people, who get paychecks from the same cabal of billionaires, are onboard with the plan too. i got lost in the land of re-tweets of buzzfeed, politico, cnn, etc., “reporters” and you’d literally think lyin ryan dominated tonight on style and on details of the issues. it’s opposite world all the time with republicans and the media. also judging by the photos, it it looks they’re all about 25-30 year olds, so we’ll be having this same fight for a long time.
seems to me to beat the trend is to keep winning elections despite the media, and maybe then we’ll get enough politicians on there who will re-regulate the media as it used to be, and actually let the “free market” work again in “the news” business and maybe follow the anti-trust laws republican teddy roosevelt put in place, since being republican shills doesn’t not make them more money in terms of ratings, and we have many years of data to prove it now. however, it does make the owners of the media tons of money right now by keeping their taxes low and by keep alowing them to suck up every media outlet possible. bain capital was a big player in doing this in the radio industry with clear channel. it’s all a giant scam. re-electing obama/biden and winning the house and senate again next month is the first step in fixing this. forward!! and in 2016, where elizabeth warren is the perfect person for president obama in which to pass the torch!!
That was indeed a great Zinger by Pierce! Charles Pierce was brilliant in his analysis of the VP debate. To be honest, I didn’t know much about Paul Ryan beyond the media hype. From my perspective he did not come across well in tonight’s debate. Like his running mate on top of the ticket, Ryan spewed talking points mixed in with lies about the President. Obviously, MSM media are still in love withRyan. That is why they just couldn’t accept the fact that VP Joe Biden, in tonights debate, trounced him, both on telling the truth and on articulating an agenda based on principles.
This, This, This, Meta! You know both Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are bullies; but they are also cowards. That is why they whine and cry when their BS is exposed.
Did CNN poll only old white people from the south again? Joe was great.
I still think people missed the presidents rebuttal because Romney kept repeating lies. I used the OFA dashboard to find a debate watch. I’ve only been in my current location for a month. With organization like that and people like I find on this sight, we’ll get the win for our president.
Why are the undecided so stupid in Virgina? I’m watching CNN and Erin Burnett asking the undecideds. I swear these people just ignore what is actually going on today.
CNN saying the lying ryan won the debate, I swear to the gods this is going to fire up the Obama/Biden base and the voters are coming out in droves now…nothing like firing up a base! Thanks CNN, you actually pissed enough people off.
CNN is dishonest! It’s trying to outdo FOX in supporting deranged right wing Republicans. As far as I am concerned, any one who says that Paul Ryan won tonight’s VP debate is a bold faced liar! If that’s what the so called undecided voters are saying then they are lying about being undecided. Ryan said nothing new that he Mitt Romney haven’t said before. He certainly was not truthful about everything he said.
The dishonest CNN poll. “SPECIAL NOTE OF CAUTION #2: The sample of debate-watchers in this poll were 31% Democratic and 33% Republican. That indicates that the sample of debate watchers is about eight points more Republican than an average CNN poll of all Americans, so the respondents were more Republican than the general public.
You guys are just learning that CNN ( TeaNN ) is not worth sh*t. Remember they used to say, CNN the most trusted news around. Now I say that’s a big lie, because CNN has become like FOX so call news, not worth watching. And I don’t watch CNN. They can’t even be fair about a debate poll. They have to fix it to play out their agenda. Not Trustworthy. That’s CNN.
Been up since 4am cdt, our business was broken into, they did not get in to the drugs (pharmacy), but hubby is tuck there the glass replacement comes. Saw a bit on Morning Joe, and Mika quoted Cnn poll, she is so half-baked to be a dem. Met her this summer at a conference, where she held the mike for me as Joe was spouting off on stage. I get so frustrated at her bi-polar behavior when it comes to standing up to Joe and the boys. We have to drive this discussion, because the repubs are trying push the narrative that Joe was over-the-top and rude to Ryan’s calm and well spoken points. Nonsense, Joe did the do!
Interesting no one posting the cbs poll that gave it to Biden 2-1.
Bill Press is damn near equally annoying: If I hear him say ‘Biden did what PBO should have done’, or “Biden better be prepping PBO from now until Tuesday’, one more time, I’m going to scream. Why do the alleged progressive pundits have to do damage?
Don’t care. The base got the debate they wanted. Biden surpassed all expectations. He was even better and more razor-sharp than he was 4 years ago with Palin. He did everything we needed done, and then some.
Now if the whiny left who have the privilege of a microphone could stop making PBO look bad…….
I don’t think Biden couldhave gone after Palin the way he did with Ryan because he knew they would play the ” sexist, misogynist” card if he did. He was smart to play it cool then.
But with Smirkin’ Ryan? gloves off!! Boy was it a joy to watch!!
Biden couldn’t but he eviscerated her anyway, without inviting any sexist b.s. (although the RWNJ’s tried). Biden was brilliant in that debate and even more brilliant last night.
That’s only part of it: it’s the coordinated effort of Republicans to have their loser VP nominee look good. Imagine if we had done that last week? We would have blunted a great deal of the damage.
Good Morning TOD. Happy Happy Happy Day. It matters not what they all say about this Debate, VP Joe Biden nailed that lyin-ryan to the floor and served a good plate of “whup a$$” Just look at that photo of the two of them passing each other after the Debate. You could read ryan’s thoughts, he knew he got beat.
Silly sausage, thinking that just memorizing the names of some places in Afghanistan and reeling them off would impress Joe. Perhaps fool him into thinking that he ryan knew anything substantial about what is really happening in that country. Joe put him right in short order.
Everyone woke up to VP Joe’s win so they can’t take it away.
I see what many in the media are trying to do—-Today Show opened with “no clear winner” so “nothing has changed”. And Charles Todd’s report mostly focused on Biden’s interrupting style—–which was a bad thing this time when it was a good thing at the Obama debate, I guess. Need to push back against this pathetic spinning attempt.
Joe
I love Joe Biden!
Love Joe.
You go Joe. Now the media will start saying Joe has set the bar for PBO next week. I bet you 10k. 🙂
VP Biden and PBO are a perfect team…watching them tiogether remind me of watching beach volley ball…PBO set it and VP Biden hit it over. I like the fact they neither one of them care about being the star, they want to win…it is not about them for either one of them, it’s about us; we the people. I love the Obama/Biden team…they are winners!!!!!!!!!!
Vice-President Biden IS the star tonight.
Obama/Biden… amazing team!
You’re so right – they work together. America is so lucky that they signed up to serve, especially after the disaster that preceded them. They are a perfect partnership – and you can see they respect and care for each other. I love that partnership.
$11 for the excellent performance on the 11th! Heading to the donation page…!!! Woot!
Agree 100% with lovely longoria.
GIRL POWER!!!
Indeed. 🙂
Martha Raddatz redeemed journalism tonight…
She showed the gossip stenographers in the American media what true and seasoned journalism really looks and sounds like…
Agree also—-she was the best moderator I’ve seen in any debate. The difference between her and Lehrer?—about a million miles.
Who is this Jim Lehrer people keep talking about? They say he was moderator at the last debate? Is this true? There was a moderator at the last debate?
I know, right?
Agree. She came prepared tonight. Especially in the foreign policy questions since that is her journalistic background.
Yup, I could see her referring to her notes often. But the most important was she didn’t let the lying lilttle pos get away with his clearly memorized talking points.
True that!
A hell of alot better than the guy who handle the Presidential debate. Once again woman show that they are just as good if not better than a man. Martha show Laher how it should be done.
She allowed these guys to duke it out, it is what everyone wanted to see and Biden creamed Ryan. Perfect!
For he’s a jolly good fella, for he’s a jolly good fella, for he’s a jolly good feeeellllllaaaaaa —- that nobody can deny!
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Joe ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Yes indeed. Great job, Joe. Ryan losing his Congressional seat would be icing on this cake.
Hell Yes. Team Obama has a cheshire cat grin.
Thank you Joe Biden. He knocked the stuffing out of Paul Ryan.
Martha Raddatz did her job as a moderator. Paul Ryan looked and sounded like an idiot.
I loved the Kennedy line! Did you see how incredulous Joey looked when Ryan mentioned that name??!!!!
It’s my favorite line if the night. Still cracking up thinking about it! Lol
My favorite line was the one about Romey not even contesting in Mass…YES!
Today is 10/11/12…three very good donation figures.
Couldn’t get it in fast enough!! Done!!! 😀
Excellent observation, Tien. Tweeting that.
Chips. . . YOU.CRACK.ME.UP!:) 🙂 🙂
don’t worry hopefriut2, the President will show up next week and he will get the job done this time. I have faith in him.
The President showed up last week/set it up for VP Biden this week…that’s how you win in the gae me…what an excellent team (including the players behind the scene).
game…that’s how you win the game!
I’m posting again for everybody’s enjoyment. Congratulations Americans!
told you, VP will be fine.
Ha! Even Sully has come out of his fetal position.
Ding,Ding. Admiral Chips is on the bridge and has the deck and the con. Ding. Ding… Ding. Ding! 😀
Martha did an excellent job. And “Ride or Die Joe”…absolutely amazing!
Ryan side ” used car saleman like” as per a caller on c-span.
Ryan needs to go to the doctor, he’s drinking too much water, there’s so much lying from Ryan, another caller.
Biden seemed sincere, looking out for the people , same caller with the Dr comment.
The fires of hell are burning him from within…?
Good one Theo…
Paul Ryan is clearly a tortured soul…
Didn’t I tell ya’ll to read that article I posted. Biden did exactly what the guy in the article said.
I Biden kicked ass and took names.
I see people focussing on the “insults”, which I don’t agree were, please focus on the analysis of Biden’s debate performance and get back to me.
That part of the article was a map for this debate that just past
What are you talking about? Everyone here is gloating about how Ryan was a lying sack and Joey lit his butt on fire.
sorry, I was commenting on the article I linked to in another thread about people’s underestimating Joe Biden. Some people discarded the analysis of Biden’s debating prowess and instead said that it was “insulting” to POTUS. that’s why I replied to my own comment which referenced the article
Sorry if I wasn’t clear.
Big sigh of relief! Phew!
Damn – Tweety needs to take a Xanax.
No pundtwits tonight, hf. Please.
Thanks.
I humbly abide amk. (down on bended knee).
🙂 Thank you hf.
“…bended knee” 😉
GOP is desperate. LOL.
HA!!! They were gorgeous and pearly white, babeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!! 😆 😆
🙂 🙂 🙂
Old lame ass Ryan has been in Congress for around 14 years, and the dumbass had the nerve to try to take on the best foreign policy master to ever sit in the chambers of the U.S. Senate in modern history. The VP sent his ass to the corner and put a dunce hat on his head.
egg.sack.lee. It was the best debate I have ever seen. Having a good mod helped a great deal.
High-five! [thwap!]
x2 dudette!
I know, right! He kept name dropping ‘Gates’ and this person. And dropping the names of cities and provinces in Afghanistan! :tool: no, Little Ruan, just because you can pronounce the names doesn’t mean you know foreign policy!
Oh, Lisa, I found that particularly offensive. It’s like he memorized an atlas before he came on. And when he bragged about going to Afghanistan twice and JB said he’s been there 20 times, I thought Lyin Ryan should have given it up right there.
I know, right?! Trying to lecture Joey B on morality and religion and foreign policy! How many foreign policy committees has Ryan been on? ahhhhhhhhhh NONE!!!!!!! Shut up, Congressman Dead Eyes!!!!
Noticed he tried to brush off VPJoe’s trips by saying he and Joe combined had probably been there fewer times that the moderator, or some such? Poor Ryan.
Absolutely spot on Majiir…
Joe Biden is a solid human being…
Shall we not bring up the stupid pundtwitry here ? Thanks. We do not need their crap tonight (or any other night till the D day).
I have switched to rugby.
Dood ? What are you doing ? Next thing, before you know it, you’ll be watching american ‘football’.
Slippery slope, my friend.
Rugby is what gridiron football wishes it were. No pads, full contact, blood everywhere. A man’s game.
Oh, boy. Gory Meat fight ?
I toldja it’s a slippery slope.
Sometimes factcheck.org is a BEE-YOO-TIFUL THANG! #FORWARD Forgive my crudeness, OBAMA/MUTHAFUCKIN’ BIDEN 2012
Maryland, you all are so lucky. Rep. Chris Van Hollen was the fake Paul Ryan for VP Biden’s debate prep and from tonight’s performance, he did his job.
Thanks UT – Van Hollen is my rep. I’m so proud!! MD-08
Joe B. can feel real good about his effort here tonight. He was ready to rock n roll, armed with facts and a believable sincerity which won the night. Well moderated, fun to watch, Joe B. was at his best.
THAT’S HOW YOU ‘SPOSED TO DO DAT SHIT! GO JOE!
Joe was, wasn’t he? 😛 😛
Here’s a clip from tonight’s “debate”:
Obama.Biden.2012!
Holy Smokes, that makes ME wanna cry. Never saw that movie! Dayum!
David Gregory said it was a tie, that’s what the crawler said.
Whatever!
Jovie, no thanks. Don’t care what that dipshit thinks. That’s why I watched cspan. Then switched back to the movie channel. Don’t need no republican fluffer telling me bullshit. Thank you.
who gives a shite, jovie ?
Exactly, who gives a shit what that person thinks.
He Liesssss
So what! Stop being a Debbie Downer all the time!
jovie141, what do you expect the GOP guy to say? We know what David Gregory is.
Tonight I don’t give a dam what David “GOP” Gregory think.
Ryan said what Romney will not – if elected the GOP will make abortion illegal.
Great point. There are so many take aways, I’m afraid I’ll have to watch that mouse face again. Aargh !!
From Knoller:
Pres Obama said he already phoned his congratulations to Biden on the debate. Twice he said of Biden: couldn’t be prouder.
Is very, very true! Couldn’t be prouder!
I fell in love with Jo Biden all over again tonight. He was talking to us–seniors, women, veterans–real human beings. Little twit was pompously spouting talking points with that insufferable smirk. I would think people would vote for Obama/Biden just not to have to be subjected to that Ryan face anymore.
I disagree with all of those pundits who have been saying that VP debates doesn’t matter. Joe brought it home tonight.
Ha!!!!!! Hahahahahahahahahahhahhahahahahahahaha!!!!!
That’s so weird. Before the debate began, polls showed that 50% thought Ryan would win and 31 or 32% thought VP Biden would win. Now it’s reports the same number but flipped. Freaking awesome.
Another caller, Independent, will be voting Obama again, can’t handle Gov’t making “body” choice for anybody, thought religion is NOT part of Gov’t.
Biden, credible, concise, Ryan out of touch, Definitely voting Obama again.
Utah caller was nauseated by Biden, wants abortion banned.
Obama should take his own alarm clock to confirm time as he was interrupted too many times to respond properly to the lies.
Another caller says going Obama as Congress is at fault as they deliberately blocked the PBO.
All sides on the call.
Fantastic spin from the other side, it’s actually very telling.
Complaining about interrupting, joes teeth, the Moderator etc.
You know VP Biden won when all the other side can do is complain. Love our VP. POTUS was so smart for picking him as VP.
Biden interrupt, Biden’s teeth, the moderator. Boo-Hoo-Hoo
Joey B
The best zinger of the day.
This was one of the best moments of the debate.
Joe Biden’s incredulous grin: “that’s amazing”, what a line! No acting here, that is as real as it gets! Love it! FB’d it right away!
Fav line of the night. Even the “silent” audience had to laugh at that one.
I honestly think PBO and JB should do a better job at selling their accomplishments in a time limited format like this!!! These fuckers – Romney and Ryan – are good at salesmanship and they will lie and distort record to win the game. If PBO dont step it up in the next two debates, I think only a divine intervention can get him reelected
??
Pamela, I’m with you……..who is that person above, and what a stupid statement!
Maybe it’s snark? Or a lame attempt at sarcasm?
Pamela, Carolyn,
I am just saying PBO must attack romney in the next two debates and get his momentum back. Simple.
No, President Obama ‘must not’ do whatever the heck it is you an anonymous poster on a blog tells him to do…
President Obama, an incredibly brilliant, thoughtful, evolved, mature, intrinsically decent, focused and most hardworking President who has pulled off in 3+ years huge accomplishments his predecessors only dreamed of – and in the face of unprecedented obstruction and hostility – needs absolutely no pointers or instruction from any one us…
Exactly. Thank you. Growing soooo weary of the “couldas/shouldas/wouldas” 🙂
Go Chi! tell it as it is. That is exactly what I was trying to say only you put it far more eloquently than I ever could.
PBO must be PBO and do what he do…be one of the best damn politician we have ever seen.
Just let PBO be PBO, he is not a screamer or shouter but he is VERY good at putting across his point. Just because he was perceived to have had a ‘bad night’ in the first debate does not mean that “he will need divine intervention to win the election”. Just let the man be himself.
He just told us to “chill the fuck out” on Tom Joyner this week. Don’t be worried, obaman.
New here ?
🙂
Seriously. Chips, the blog tyrant power please.
awwww….bless your heart, honey.
I love that good old southern line! Bless his heart indeed, 4more. Bless his ever loving heart! 😉
You are saying precisely what I said the MSM pundits would be saying. Malarky!!!!
Were you watching a different debate? Biden did a great job at selling the administration’s accomplishments. And, if you actually listened to PBO last week, he did as well. Just shoving lies in your face is not selling. It’s conning.
I am tempted——but I’ll just say …what??????
Huh?
You sound like a paid troll. I think Biden did great and despite media trashing President got his points across. Now that he has permission to go after Romney he will be even stronger without risk of the angry black man meme. Furthermore, no debate changes the fundamental difference between the two programs. Only our side supports the middle class, seniors, minorities, women, LGBT. The more they campaign and do organizing the better we will do. One of my patients just came back from a work trip to Nevada. He sat at a table with 40 businessmen, all strongly in support of President Obama. People are paying attention. They know who has their backs.
“If PBO dont step it up in the next two debates, I think only a divine intervention can get him reelected”
Ha, ha – You’re funny! A comedian, that’s you!! Keep working on ’em though. Gotta hone your craft.
Get lost TROLL!!!
The moment I read ‘honestly’, my bells started yelling at me.
Chips, are we there yet, dammit ?
Your statement is not honest at all!
Obaman, have no fear President Obama will step it up. I have faith in him to do so.
He will not let that lying Mitt Romney get away with his lies this time. Count on it Obaman.
Troll
“I think only a divine intervention can get him reelected”?
What? Lies and distort the record to win the game, but not the votes. And certainly not women’s votes.
Sorry, no divine intervention is needed here, only angry pissed off women trying to tell us what to do with our own bodies.
You don’t have to sell the truth….real people who are paying attention, can read, do arithmetic and most of all THINK FOR THEMSELVES will know.
You can leave now…..
If Americans go for the sales pitch from two slick used car salesmen, when they have four years of evidence of a successful presidency at their disposal, then so be it. We can’t ask any more from President Obama and VP Biden. We need to ask more from ourselves. People can’t be that stupid that they can fall for Romney and Paul Ryan’s lies. No spoon feeding; people need to do more thinking.
What?????
Only $86.00 to my goal! Any offers? 😆 https://donate.barackobama.com/page/outreach/view/2012/Pamela
Got it covered Pamela! Now you can set a new one:-)
Fantastic. Congrats Pamela.
I’ve been spreading it around a bit today also, gotta let our VPB know we have his back!
YOU rocked it FoxFireTX! and the thermometer is a-rising as of NOW! Thank You! Now, all o’ y’all looking to empty that small change from your ourselves to make BIG Change for our country: https://donate.barackobama.com/page/outreach/view/2012/Pamela 😆

I just chipped in a little Pamela.
{{{{{{{EWOK2}}}}}}}. THANK YOU! 🙂
So rethugs hollering about VPB cutting off Ryan- isn’t that what Mitt did to PBO and Leher? No complaints, though, right? They are disgusting.
As always, Think Progress Live Blogging Fact Checking of the VP Debate is Terrific. Check it out, lots of good stuff to know.
ThinkProgress Liveblogs The Vice Presidential Debate
http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2012/10/11/997261/thinkprogress-liveblogs-the-vice-presidential-debate/
Our POTUS is happy!
I especially liked the part when asked about their religious beliefs, Ryan said that his Irish Catholic beliefs guide his personal and public life, leaving no doubt that he would impose his own beliefs on everyone. Biden, on the other hand, said even though his personal beliefs were guided by his faith, he and the government have no right to impose their views on everyone.
The diff was clear, and Biden’s answer was the sane, sensible one.
I don’t think the religious question had a place in a governmental debate on politics. It should have been on their ideological views on social issues. I could care less about their religion, or what faith they belong to. I’m only interested in how they plan to govern.
Well said Cookemom!
I think it is important that voters know that the repubs use their so called religion to legislate and to justify their positions re abortion, same-sex marriage. They always talk about their beloved constitution, which clearly states there is suppose to be a space in between the church and government. Frank Schaffer (sp?) has a great book about the beginning of the repubs using the bible/religion to govern.
This + a bajillion. It’s also known as Theocracy. And it’s not just social issues. Even Shrub made comments publicly about how God told him to end tyranny & terrorism in Iran &Afganistan respectively and used that as a justification for war in both of those countries along with those pesky (and non-existent) WMDs. Jeff Charlat’s books, The Family and C Street are a bit of an eye-opener also.
Sorry but there are other religions practiced here and to single our Catholics as if their view holds more credence than others is wrong. That, plus the folks who use religion to shape their political views know who they are. Those who don’t know how religion impacts folks political views won’t care anyway. It doesn’t belong in politics period, at least not as the candidates identify themselves.
“With regard to abortion. I accept my church’s opinion – position – on abortion. Life begins at conception, that is the church’s decision. I accept it in my personal life. But I refuse to impose it on equally devout Christians and Muslims and Jews. I just refuse to impose that on others, unlike my friend here, the congressman. I do not believe that we have a right to tell other people, women, that they can’t control their body.”
My mother is a devout, mass every day, Catholic. She was very pleased with VP Biden’s response about not imposing his beliefs.
My mum too…
She absolutely loves and adores both President Obama and Vice President Biden…
And recently stopped financially supporting certain Catholic establishments…
Catholic bishops are doing themselves a disservice with their political shenanigans. Especially with their attacks on the Nuns on the Bus. They’ve lost all credibility.
Professor Watson form Lynn University scored the debate. Gives edge to Biden for control of agenda, style, and push back. Ryan used statistics, Biden used personality and heart plus statistics.
Also CBS NEWS SNAP POLL of uncommitted voters: 50% Biden won; 31% Ryan; 19% tie
19% tie?
Idiots.
Oh, he was great! Your daddy was wonderful!!
I saw Miss Richards in the spin room for the President.
She was getting flooded with questions, She is a very good surrogate for the President.
Did you see Stef Cutter? She was great! And her answer to Wolf’s question about Libya and what she said in the morning was pitch perfect!
What did stef say ? I would rather see here what our side says than what the msm pundtwits and shills say.
She said Joe nailed it on facts. Ryan had no specifics, as usual. And on Libya, she said that the administration gave out information as they knew. She did not blame the Romney/Ryan campaign for the inquiry, but said that they were looking for something to take advantage of, like Romney had said in the 47% tape. And this found this Libyan situation to be just that and have politicized it.
Thank you, Rita. That was excellent.
amen, sister!
VP Biden is A #1! Don’tMess.With.Joe
i’m so glad president obama had the good sense to pick joe biden as his vp. our president sure makes a lot of good decisions!
Thank heavens.

THISSSSSSSSSSS!
Bill Maher has been killing it tonight on Twitter, ya’ll.
so biden clear winner tonight which of course means over the next few days….a mittbot surge in the polls. there, i told you all what will happen now, so maybe no one needs to fill these comment sections with every word joe scarborough, jake tapper, and mike barnicle and so on will say?!? please?
I don’t have a problem with a recap on TV punditry stuff, but the woe is me, can you believe it, media overdrive stuff gotta go. Fat chance that’ll happen, but we can dream can’t we?
i actively work to keep that stuff out of my life, and it’s become increasing hard to avoid it here too, in the comments specifically. chips keeps the main posts positive with tidbits i don’t see other places so that’s really valuable still. but there are times where it’s impossible just to scroll through certain people’s comments since there are so many now all with stenography of the media, which is stenography of the republican party.
don’t we all know what the media will say already? i mean, really. i see no value in me knowing every detail in what joe scarborough says tomorrow morning. none. mainly because i already know the general essence right now! i’ll always have the main posts at least if current trends are allowed to continue.
I hear you, but different strokes for folks. I can be alright with a synopsis, and I’ve posted a few. I only do that when he has a guest on the show who was good and said something noteworthy. I do not post what Joe or his crew say, cause we already know their slant. I don’t get the Chuck Todd hysteria either. It’s like he shows up on the TV for the very first time each day. As a matter of fact, I don’t get the whole pundit play by play, but that’s just me.
I just scroll past it. And scroll past the posts of Knark Moller which always turn up here… Life is too short!
I’m all for that. We don’t need that trash here.
Your lips to God’s ears, but I doubt anyone will listen. 🙄
Getting ready to turn in TOD, but in the spirit of the great job by VP Joe here’s a link to fatten the kitty: https://donate.barackobama.com/page/outreach/view/2012/Cookemom
Already rang your bell, cookemom! Sweet dreams girl!
aww thank you Pamela. I logged back on to check for a package delivery email and decided to just peek in on TODville and there you were. thanks again.
i find it funny how MSNBC panel was so quick to tell us how poor Obama did vs Robot, but they’re acting like what Biden did to Ryan isn’t a big deal. They think Biden won, but they say Ryan didn’t give a weak debate. HUH?! They’re so quick to remind us how Obama got “destroyed” by Robot all the time, and after this debate, THIS what we get from them? They should be jumping out their seats with joy! Ed, Al, and even Chris, surprisingly wasn’t all that praising about Joe’s performance beating Lyin’Ryan. smh…
Donate here. You’ll feel better. https://donate.barackobama.com/page/outreach/view/2012/Cookemom
Why are you surprised? 🙄
ObamaBoy, switch them all off…
They have no better knowledge or perspective than you or I do…
Join me in my complete disdain and utter contempt of a corrupt, sleazy, narcissistic and painfully mediocre media by turning them all off…
ObamaBoy, it doesn’t make any sense…but I figured that this (or some version of this) would be their response (they are so predictable/they never disappoint)…their scripts are written by….
Let’s get joe’s back and give whatever we can tonight. I’m headed over to give 25$ now. Every bit counts and victory is in sights!
Give here please, much appreciated: https://donate.barackobama.com/page/outreach/view/2012/Cookemom

That hashtag is great.
Oh THAT Miss Richards! Yes, she’s a terrific surrogate! Saw her this morning on Bill Press — OUTSTANDING job!!
Thank you jovie. RT’ed.
That’s a terrific tweet! Thanks for sharing it, Jovie.
Oh sweet Jesus, Wayne Rooney will be England captain in their next match. Are you happy now, Chips?!
Oh boy. What else can go wrong ?
Ryan: really?
Biden: damn straight son
Can you see the skid marks on Ryan’s face? Hahahahahahahahahahhahhahahahahahahaha!!!
LOL!
Biden: Come back when you grow up, son!
Heeeeeeeee!!!!
I’m using that on twitter. Thanks.
😉
He dyes his hair….
AW! MAN!
VP Biden is saying I can’t respect liars. And that is what you and Romney are Mr. Ryan.
BIDEN was awesome. When Biden called lyinryan SARAH PALIN, I fell out my chair laughing so hard. That was amazing. I loved, loved the way BIDEN just laughed at lyinryan’s ass.
Ouuucchhhhhhh! learn anything? 🙂
Ryan: Wow, I really underestimated you.
Biden: Yeah, yeah bet you won’t do that shit again.
I’d say tonight was a BFD.
…and a bag of tortillas!! Ole’!
🙂 Yup! A big ass bag ‘o chips!
Karl Rove has a sad. BWAHAHAHAHAHA.
Ho! Don’t worry, if you get your way, Bob Schaeffer will roll over for Willard like a bitch in heat.
Did Karl Rove really tweet that he wished Jim Lehrer was moderating or something? Is that true? I mean that’s how you know you lost, blaming the ref.
Have CNN on mute. Boy those folks love to spin hard for the Right. 48-44 Ryan? HAHAHAHA. Come on, CNN, you’re not even trying anymore.
Hilarious.
I know, right?
CBS Poll of UNDECIDEDS say 50-30 Biden. Huge victory. CNN poll of who knows, says 48-44 Ryan. Laughable. Would love to see the internals there.
In any case, the meme is going out that Biden won the debate, and that’s gonna be the news story for the week.
To put it plain and simple CNN (TeaNN ) ain’t worth sh*t.
Isn’t that something? More BS!
CNN poll said Ryan won.
WTF?
Who cares? It’s bullshit. Why do you watch this shit them when they confirm their bias, you come here posting about it like you’re shocked? No one cares about CNN and their bullshit poll.
LOL! LMAO!
Raise your hand if your genuinely surprised (so we call all throw pillows at your head for having it stuck in the sand for months)…
It’s TeaNN… don’t you GET it?
you’re
Well my little DJ, do you have some appropriate music for the occasion?
Ha ha! Scroll down! 🙂
I love you back.

why are you shocked jovie ? I would much appreciate if you, as a great news aggregator, can post what our side is saying. Thanks.

I just voted and VP Biden were leading by 8, so guys go vote now. NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joe is leading 54-46 now.
Oh yes, I voted! I know why the right wing has got their knickers in a twist: They were hoping the VP would make some “gaffe” that they could mke fun of all day tomorrow, starting with Morning Joke. He didn’t…..they’re mad!!! We’re happy…..our Joe was terrific!
Yes he was.
Yay.
For you Lisa, I went there and voted! Joe is now at 53%. Personally, I could care less about these online polls.
Thanks so much, nathkarun! Really appreciate it! 🙂
Thanks jovie. RT’ed. Let’s call out and expose the thugs for what they are.
Ditto!
JOE!!!!!! JOE!!!!!!! JOE!!!!!!!!
Let’s all tweet Joe and thank him. Show your support.
Proud of you VP Biden.
Who cares what this right wing fluffer thinks? Please! 🙄
My apologies LLO if I offended you by posting my tweet. I was only trying to be more proactive in cutting the MEE-DEE-YA off at the knees from trying to reframe the “outcome/winner” of this debate seconds after the debate had concluded–as they did with PBO’s debate. As much I have a deep, DEEP hate of the Repugs. I hate these Media mofo F#$%s that much MORE. That and several glasses of red zinfadel I’ve imbibed this evening gave me the courage to respond in ALL CAPs in various places back to Mr. Hack. Plus I love the WHO— I’m old skool across the board. What can I say? 🙂
well done purple.
BAM went the hammer!!!
excellent. The . front of the @ means it goes to all his members right?
Yup, ss. All his ‘followers’ will see it. 🙂
Good, strongly dislike that guy, and that Chuckie and Crawleeeeee, and and ….
I got the followers thing, could’ve remember the term while typing, maybe too much Mohitos ? 🙂
Amk, you are the best at giving them hell (actually telling them the TRUTH)! These unethical, so called journalists, are not fooling everybody!
I hear Carl Roves needs your bad ass rapping style. You lost your credibility when you got up on that stage.
I do mean BAD….not baaad.
Precisely.
Thanks Lisa.
Biden: You want a piece of me punk, you want a piece of me? Jump if you feel froggish.
Yup!
Paulie-be afraid, be VERY afraid.

Thank you Mr. President for selecting Joe Biden as the VP! Tonight (actually he does this everyday) he proved the wisdom and maturity of your first major decision after winning the nomination of your party.

VP Biden was amazing great tonight! I did not bored at all. What I loved the most was how he would not be denied to get his message across. He would jump right in when Ryan was going over his time even the moderator. So very proud.
VP Biden, made us proud and his smiling as Lyin Ryan talked was an indicator that Ryan you are lying moments. I have a tendency to smile when I feel like someone think you are stupid for believing their crap. I used sniling as a tool to keep calm. And the person speaking would stop talking and ask you what so funny.
Good moderator.
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/2012/10/very_quick_thoughts.php?m=1
Josh Marshall good analysis.
Joe cares about us, just like PBO, heard it loud and clear. OBAMA /BIDEN FOUR MORE, YESSSSSS!
I just sent David Gregory a email and I told him that, from what I heard from the Presidential debate President Obama won because he told the TRUTH. I told Gregory about his VP debate tie B.S. that hearing from Karl Rove and his buddies don’t count.
I swear this guy is on crack.
The day I found out that he actually composes and sends his own tweets I almost collapsed in shock and laughter. The shit he tweets is unbelievable. His timeline looks as though he’s on crack. 😆 😆 😆
It just boggles my mind that he’s a Senator. For a billion years.
meta, no disrespect, but who gives a dam what that senile old racists jackass C. Grassley think. Tonight I can do without their B.S.
i LOVE MY VP BIDEN.
Now THAT is an open-faced wonderful sandwich, topped with a smattering of awesome sauce and a hint of carmel yumminess!
Nice.
Go here to vote in CNBC poll http://www.cnbc.com/id/49327648

I dedicate this song to the 47th Vice President of the United States, Joseph Robinette Biden.
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap! Been way too long since I heard this one! QJ’s Jook Joint – Yeah!
Well done asf!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
I love this song! It’s so on time. By the way, I think Quincy Jones is a musical genius. Thanks for sharing it, Anotherslyfox.
CO-SIGN! 😆
The GOP is losing it. BWAHAHAHAHAHAH.
Funny, we said the same about Robney last week, but the RWNJs were elated at Robney’s rudeness. 🙂 Hypocrites.
And VP Biden was rude to a twirp who thought he could bring a butter knife to a gun fight,spewing right wing talking points to a 30 year Senate veteran who was the head of thee Foreign Policy committee and has been Vice President of the United States for nearly four years – plus, the twirp tried to hoodwink the American people. Romney was rude to the President of the United States who is is an entirely different stratosphere to lying, unworthy Romney and who deserves and has earned respect.
My position is don’t dish sh*t out, if you can’t take sh*t in. Republicans are good at flinging sh*t everywhere, all over everything, but if someone flings it back at them, it’s time for the smelling salts and fainting couches. For a party whose politicians always jump in front of the first available camera and talk like they’re the bravest folks in the world, they are the biggest wusses and the biggest jokes in the country. Governor O’Malley is right, when people see republican politicians, they should laugh at them. They should have careers in theater instead of in politics.
majiir, Republicans are nothing but loud talking cowards. They may have managed to cower the media and some Democrats, but there many fearless Dems. who are no longer willing to take their BS! When the Dems. fight back and expose their lies they start crying like babies. Sean Hannity is one of those loud talking cowards. Today, VP Biden made mince meat of their golden boy who is just another empty suit!
Republicans are cowards.
CNBC is Cheating on their polls. I tell people corporate is fishy.
they have it at Biden 53 Ryan 45 Biden’s was higher than 53 when I saw it.
What did you expect? I am sorry, but I am nor surprised. I went there and voted just for fun and not because I was expecting CNBC to be honest.
Nathkatun7
This is for people who live and die by teh polls. I don’t because I know the Corporate media. The only poll
I care about is when President Obama is back in the white house. (our vote)
Bill Maher on tonight’s debate:
LOL.
Maybe you should have call Herman or Grandpa or Lilly, because VP Biden were kicking Eddie lying Ryan Munster’s butt.
LMAO!
And Joe Biden made it about women’s rights – not about his religion. Paul Ryan, however, thinks he has the right to control women’s bodies.
MALARKEY = Meaningless talk; nonsense. (That just about sums up the entire Romney-Ryan campaign.)
Vice President Joe Biden responds to the first bunch of lies, sarcasm, criticism and innuendo from Lyin Ryan with the word “MALARKEY”.
==========================
From Think Progress:
Biden’s ‘malarkey’ tops Google search
On CNN, Soledad O’Brien reported that “malarkey” became a top search on Google after the vice president used the word during the debate.

Thanks Lh. Tweeted.
I saw a group of 8 – One elderly woman who called the vote a tie said she was now voting for Romney ??? – Hope she has SS and medicare – that will wake her up.
One young woman who called the debate for VP Biden said he was rude and it was below the dignity of his position to speak that way ???
A 30ish man said he was still undecided because he was too busy working 12 hours a day to take note of the political issues ???
The rest mumbled – I agree – stupid.
Hey Bob – hope all those meetings went well
Thank you friend! Extremely good day, irrespective of the # of hours. And, desert is reading all these comments and twitter feeds and being delighted but not in any way surprised that VP Biden torched the liar.
#PRESSON
Aye – the debate was a great report to come home to. Sorry about the long day – but always worth it when things go well. VP Biden probably in the same frame of mind at the minute.
Good to see you Bob! I am surprised you are still up fighting after all your marathon meetings today. I really love the fact that you continue to remind Americans what Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor, and their co-conspirators, have been doing to destroy this country since Jan 20, 2009; all because they wanted President Obama to fail. I also had to work tonight. I just finished watching the replay of the Debate and VP Biden really “kicked” Paul Ryan’s butt tonight.
Great to connect with you, nath. Thank you for your support of the effort to keep it in the forefront that these guys were willing to drive America into a Great Depression, crash our credit rating, destroy GM/Chrysler, etc., for one and only one reason, their obsessive, racist-driven hatred of our great President. Will continue pressing that message until we re-elect Obama/Biden and a much stronger Dem House and Senate, i.e., this is a message that we need to continue driving after our successes on 6 Nov right through 2014 mid-terms and beyond. These individuals and those who bankroll them are way more dangerous than any external threat to our society.
Hope you get some rest!! I’m going to be crashing soon, as well 🙂
#PRESSON
Thank you Bob. You need the rest and so do I. I have to be at work tomorrow morning so I plan on turning in soon. Sleep well. Thanks for all you do on behalf of many of us and on behalf of the President.
Bravo, Dudette! You hit the nail on the head! If it weren’t for growing social media, this country would be in big, big, trouble. The so called 4th estate has moped into a corporate propaganda machine.
Yup! Follow the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Absolutely, DF! That’s why it’s so important for President Obama and the Democrats, across all layers of governments,– but especially Congress — must win this election to nullify the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$! By the way, I am very upbeat about Dr. Carmona. I think he can be a shining star from Arizona. I don’t have much money, but I did send a very, very, small contribution to his campaign just to demonstrate that there are many of us in California who support him 100%. I’ve urged trusted friends to do the same. Just wanted to let you know that I am rooting for your next U.S. Senator from Arizona, Dr. Richard Carmona. I know how hard many of you have been working to turn your state blue.
Agree with you, nath, about Dr. Carmona. Since I have no doubt my Rep will be re-elected from our very blue 36 CD, Dr Carmona is one of several candidates in other States the few coin I can spare is going to them, e.g., Powell in VA, Zerban in WI, and a few others 🙂
#FORWARD
We are absolutely on the same page, Bob! Nothing would satisfy more than to see both Paul Ryan and Eric Cantor defeated. I am absolutely sending a few of my pennies to Powell and Zerban.
Didn’t see these comments…just got back from picking up my son at work:) SOOOOOOOO right about Dr. Carmona…I could FINALLY be proud of someone, and have someone in WA that represents me! If anyone can send a few bucks to his campaign, that would be appreciated, I’m sure. President Clinton was campaigning with him at ASU yesterday…big rally on campus. Carmona and Penzone (to rid us of that nasty piece of work, Arpiao) would be awesome…and of course, PBO….if the Hispanic community here votes…we can turn this place blue! That would be SO fitting to me that that community has the power to do that…especially after SB 1070. That would make me have a perpetual smile:)
i’m not even sure it’s about profits. many of the big networks and newspapers keep tanking, or bled money for many years, especially when they turned into republican propaganda machines instead of old school journalists, yet they keep doing it. they keep the same people writing or on-air no matter how many years their ratings go down. they never try anything new no matter how much money they lose with “news.” i think the owners of the big media conglomerates, who are a small group of billionaires, bought it all up to promote their own interests, which means getting as many modern day republicans in office as possible.
i just made the mistake of clicking on certain people on twitter, and it seems so many of the newer media people, who get paychecks from the same cabal of billionaires, are onboard with the plan too. i got lost in the land of re-tweets of buzzfeed, politico, cnn, etc., “reporters” and you’d literally think lyin ryan dominated tonight on style and on details of the issues. it’s opposite world all the time with republicans and the media. also judging by the photos, it it looks they’re all about 25-30 year olds, so we’ll be having this same fight for a long time.
seems to me to beat the trend is to keep winning elections despite the media, and maybe then we’ll get enough politicians on there who will re-regulate the media as it used to be, and actually let the “free market” work again in “the news” business and maybe follow the anti-trust laws republican teddy roosevelt put in place, since being republican shills doesn’t not make them more money in terms of ratings, and we have many years of data to prove it now. however, it does make the owners of the media tons of money right now by keeping their taxes low and by keep alowing them to suck up every media outlet possible. bain capital was a big player in doing this in the radio industry with clear channel. it’s all a giant scam. re-electing obama/biden and winning the house and senate again next month is the first step in fixing this. forward!! and in 2016, where elizabeth warren is the perfect person for president obama in which to pass the torch!!
You know what’s the difference between Sarah Palin and Paul Ryan?

Thank you 99; that’s Pierce at his best 🙂
#PRESSON
That was indeed a great Zinger by Pierce! Charles Pierce was brilliant in his analysis of the VP debate. To be honest, I didn’t know much about Paul Ryan beyond the media hype. From my perspective he did not come across well in tonight’s debate. Like his running mate on top of the ticket, Ryan spewed talking points mixed in with lies about the President. Obviously, MSM media are still in love withRyan. That is why they just couldn’t accept the fact that VP Joe Biden, in tonights debate, trounced him, both on telling the truth and on articulating an agenda based on principles.
Yes!
In summary ….
Good night nath and everyone …

Bam! Had to tweet that!

This, This, This, Meta! You know both Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are bullies; but they are also cowards. That is why they whine and cry when their BS is exposed.
Did CNN poll only old white people from the south again? Joe was great.
I still think people missed the presidents rebuttal because Romney kept repeating lies. I used the OFA dashboard to find a debate watch. I’ve only been in my current location for a month. With organization like that and people like I find on this sight, we’ll get the win for our president.
Why are the undecided so stupid in Virgina? I’m watching CNN and Erin Burnett asking the undecideds. I swear these people just ignore what is actually going on today.
CNN saying the lying ryan won the debate, I swear to the gods this is going to fire up the Obama/Biden base and the voters are coming out in droves now…nothing like firing up a base! Thanks CNN, you actually pissed enough people off.
CNN is dishonest! It’s trying to outdo FOX in supporting deranged right wing Republicans. As far as I am concerned, any one who says that Paul Ryan won tonight’s VP debate is a bold faced liar! If that’s what the so called undecided voters are saying then they are lying about being undecided. Ryan said nothing new that he Mitt Romney haven’t said before. He certainly was not truthful about everything he said.
The dishonest CNN poll. “SPECIAL NOTE OF CAUTION #2: The sample of debate-watchers in this poll were 31% Democratic and 33% Republican. That indicates that the sample of debate watchers is about eight points more Republican than an average CNN poll of all Americans, so the respondents were more Republican than the general public.
You guys are just learning that CNN ( TeaNN ) is not worth sh*t. Remember they used to say, CNN the most trusted news around. Now I say that’s a big lie, because CNN has become like FOX so call news, not worth watching. And I don’t watch CNN. They can’t even be fair about a debate poll. They have to fix it to play out their agenda. Not Trustworthy. That’s CNN.
Democrats get the Debate they wanted-

Must be mittbot’s tax returns.
Been up since 4am cdt, our business was broken into, they did not get in to the drugs (pharmacy), but hubby is tuck there the glass replacement comes. Saw a bit on Morning Joe, and Mika quoted Cnn poll, she is so half-baked to be a dem. Met her this summer at a conference, where she held the mike for me as Joe was spouting off on stage. I get so frustrated at her bi-polar behavior when it comes to standing up to Joe and the boys. We have to drive this discussion, because the repubs are trying push the narrative that Joe was over-the-top and rude to Ryan’s calm and well spoken points. Nonsense, Joe did the do!
Interesting no one posting the cbs poll that gave it to Biden 2-1.
Bill Press is damn near equally annoying: If I hear him say ‘Biden did what PBO should have done’, or “Biden better be prepping PBO from now until Tuesday’, one more time, I’m going to scream. Why do the alleged progressive pundits have to do damage?
Don’t care. The base got the debate they wanted. Biden surpassed all expectations. He was even better and more razor-sharp than he was 4 years ago with Palin. He did everything we needed done, and then some.
Now if the whiny left who have the privilege of a microphone could stop making PBO look bad…….
THIS!!!!!!!!
I don’t think Biden couldhave gone after Palin the way he did with Ryan because he knew they would play the ” sexist, misogynist” card if he did. He was smart to play it cool then.
But with Smirkin’ Ryan? gloves off!! Boy was it a joy to watch!!
Biden couldn’t but he eviscerated her anyway, without inviting any sexist b.s. (although the RWNJ’s tried). Biden was brilliant in that debate and even more brilliant last night.
This made me LOL
LMAO
Please freep this poll. The other guys are doing a good job of changing perception. Let’s do ours:
http://www.cnbc.com/id/49327648
Biden is leading 51 to 45 now. I think our side has freeped it enough. 🙂
He was higher and Ryan is catching up. But that should all cool as the day wears on.
just took it and it is showing 48 Ryan to 46 Biden – the MSM has done their dishonest work again…
That’s only part of it: it’s the coordinated effort of Republicans to have their loser VP nominee look good. Imagine if we had done that last week? We would have blunted a great deal of the damage.
This should end anyone citing Rasmussen ever again—or believe any of its polls
Absolutely! That’s outrageous!
dotster3, if this is true this need to be passed around for the public to see.
Good Morning TOD. Happy Happy Happy Day. It matters not what they all say about this Debate, VP Joe Biden nailed that lyin-ryan to the floor and served a good plate of “whup a$$” Just look at that photo of the two of them passing each other after the Debate. You could read ryan’s thoughts, he knew he got beat.
Silly sausage, thinking that just memorizing the names of some places in Afghanistan and reeling them off would impress Joe. Perhaps fool him into thinking that he ryan knew anything substantial about what is really happening in that country. Joe put him right in short order.
Everyone woke up to VP Joe’s win so they can’t take it away.
I see what many in the media are trying to do—-Today Show opened with “no clear winner” so “nothing has changed”. And Charles Todd’s report mostly focused on Biden’s interrupting style—–which was a bad thing this time when it was a good thing at the Obama debate, I guess. Need to push back against this pathetic spinning attempt.
Morning everyone:
