Was anyone really surprised at Biden's behavior last night? I saw exactly what I expected to see. It's pretty much been his M.O. for as long as I can remember: mock, condescend, act bored by the other guy's youth/incompetence/ideas, etc. In other words, just like Putzident Obamugabe wanted, Joe was being Joe.
However, for me, the part of the debate that was truly appalling -- even for Biden and his clown act -- was his dismissal of the concern of a nuclear Iran. I honestly could not believe what I was hearing, as he essentially poo-poo'ed Ryan (and by extention, Romney, the Repubs, conservatives, etc.) and the concern about Ahmadinejad obtaining a nuke.
I know it will be hard to choose, but what, for you, was the #1 Most Disturbing Thing About Biden in the Debate?
Yes, it was obvious and sad that something was so wrong with Joe Biden. There should be mandatory drug/alcohol testing for Presidential/Vice Predential debate candidates. It is obviously needed!
A C student designed a workable a bomb design from publically available information, and slow Joe doesn't realize that the technology has improved in the 25+ years since.
“I agree with that and to me Ryan didnt have a great outing, though i think he did better towards the end and really came on strong in the last 10 minutes or so. My guess is that he was more concerned with not making big mistakes rather than trying to score a lot of big points. He played it safe and i think that was the right strategy given how the campaign is going right now for them. Obama/Biden needed to be more aggressive but as is the wont of liberals, Biden ended up being too aggressive and turned off a lot of people.”
Well put. And I will admit it’s easy for me to armchair
quarterback. I wouldn’t last a minute in a debate. All in
all he played his cards well.
a better plan would be an airrelease over the middle of Israel. The EMP would eradicate msot of their electronics and they would be reduced to hand weapons against planes and tanks.
I haven’t thought too much about Biden these last 3 1/2 years. After his “performance” last night I can’t decide who is more of a danger to this country, him or Obama.
#11 — absolutely.
That was mine too; how does Biden get off excusing the admin for following intel? Bush was excoriated for following intel!!!
But you are correct too — there is no way that the intelligence community was still saying protest over a clip on YouTube as long as the president’s minions were.
“a better plan would be an airrelease over the middle of Israel.”
Lots of things would be better...and Slow Joe seems fixated on how hard it would be for the Iranians to launch a ‘complex’ attack....i.e. ‘they don’t have a weapon to put it in’.
The cargo ship scenario doesn’t require violating Israeli airspace with a large aircraft, doesn’t require a missile, doesn’t require anything. No technology needed.
The worst for me was the deliberate plan to NEVER address Ryan by anything personal. It was intentional that he called him “my friend” 20 times as if Ryan is just another person he’ll debate along his guv-mint journey.
The ‘my friend’ term is used in congress and the senate. I think Joe was doing that to remind people Ryan was a congressman...and try to connect the dots of ‘voted for two wars on a credit card’, etc.
Most people really don’t know much about Ryan...they saw a young, smart guy with a plan. Joe wanted to pin him as an unpopular congressman.
I don't think there was a topic about which Biden DIDN'T snicker!
Best moment of debate was when Biden suddenly turns to the camera and starts doing a “first person” schtick asking seniors watching on TV who they trust. I was laughing out loud. It was like a cameo in Scary Movie 3.
Biden’s giggling reminded me of Pelosi’s fascist glee when the commies rammed Obamacare thru, unread.
It’s the “We’re destroying your country, lying to your faces on live TV, and there’s nothing you can do about it” laugh.
