The truth about the Ryan-Biden debate
Fox News ^ | October 9, 2012 | Dick Morris

Posted on 10/10/2012 1:37:55 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

The vice presidential debate gives Paul Ryan a unique opportunity to explain Mitt Romney’s economic programs and ideas in front of a massive national audience. We will see Paul Ryan at his best. And that is very, very good.

He is not just a vice presidential candidate. He is the author and intellectual founder of the modern Republican agenda. There can be no more profound and articulate a spokesman to defend and elaborate the Romney agenda to America.

It is rare that the ideological and substantive creator of a public policy agenda gets to weigh in during a national public debate. Usually, intellects of his scope and force are relegated to ghost writing and speech preparation. But now the originator of these ideas is the candidate himself. His ideas have shaped the entire Republican agenda and his programs for reform have energized its ranks. Now the author, himself, will be called upon to define and defend his programs and his ideas.

For his part, Joe Biden is a party hack called upon to defend an agenda which he did not design and of which he likely only partially approves. Beyond the challenges he has in public speaking, Biden is not in Ryan’s league when it comes to understanding issues and grasping the problems America faces. The difference between a genius and a hack will be evident in Thursday’s debate....

May be true but will he have a chance to talk?

Not likely, with a 0buttkisser as mod.

Have a feeling that - just like Governor Romney did - Rep. Ryan will stand his ground.

God Bless him and guide him - particularly tomorrow evening.

The reason why people gravitate to Fox News is that we can take in something knowing that we are not going to be slapped in the face for the effort.

“will he have a chance to talk?”

Tell her that he knows she in the tank for O so just sit there and shut up. I would add a four letter word but he will be in public.

It will be a complete victory for Biden, if he never says the phrase, “When Julius Ceasar was president...”

If Dick Morris said it, it's a trick.

He still serves the Clintons, spent months in Kenya campaigning with Obama for the Christian-Killer Raila Odinga, for which he was paid by the Clinton Foundation on a pass-through from George Soros.

If in regard to this slimeball, one more Republican tells me "The Enemy of my Enemy is My Friend," I could get violent.
This guy is no good. Caveat Emptor.

This^^^. The question isn't how well Ryan can do against Biden (industrial strength @$$-kicking); it's how well he can stop the moderator from sabotaging him.

Do you think that Hillary wants Barry re-elected?

Ryan needs to ask the moderator if she received a nice wedding gift from Obama.

Hope Obama gets defeated.

Government(socialism) is the problem.

Hope Ryan and Romney hit Obama with :

1.workforce participation lowest ever
2.Obama added 6 trillion in debt on us, more than all presidents combined
3. Obama dictatorially gave Amnesty to illegals by issuing an executive order which is unlawful
4. That Obama is a socialist as Chavez is and there will be tanks in the street in this dictator Obama's 2nd term

Government has grown every year for the past 100 years.My solution how to finally limit government is on profile.

RYAN IS NOT DEBATING BIDEN

Ryan is debating Biden AND the MSM.

The MSM are in on this: Biden's job is not to go head to head with Ryan, it is to deliver lines and points WHICH WILL ALLOW THE MSM to caste Biden as the winner, and someone who has recovered Obama's losses.

One of the things Ryan will have to overcome is Biden’s ability to lie with dignified aplomb. During Biden’s debate with Palin, he tossed out imaginary “facts” with such malignant dignity that I think Palin was jolted off her game. How do you refute such unexpected mendacity?

I think she wants clear sailing in '16. At the moment, she is being thrown under the bus by Obama on this Libya cover-up.

Right now, I think the top-rank demos want Romney in here to stabilize the economic situation, which by '16 ought to show signs of improvement, but with enough people left behind to make the Democrat case again.

None of which musings change the essential fact that The Dick Morris is a first-class scumbag

yep... we all heard Ryan take down Obama in much the same way.. He is so well versed in this stuff. I’m sure he is working on his foreign policy, but for anything having to do with Medicare or fiscal matters, Ryan will shine...Biden should be worried. Biden will be made to look like the fool that he is.. Him and his pretending to be middle class, with a middle class upbringing... bullcr*p.

I think Ryan could have a little temper and the left/mod will try to get him to show his temper by not letting him finish talking or anyway they can do it.

Biden will be given the answers, just to make the playing field fair.
