Biden: 'You Ever See Me Rope-a-Dope?'
The Weekly Standard ^ | Oct 11, 2012 | DANIEL HALPER

Posted on 10/11/2012 8:46:12 AM PDT by AmonAmarth

Joe Biden, on his way to tonight's vice presidential debate in Kentucky, asks the press, "You ever see me rope-a-dope?"

From the pool report:

Vice President Biden arrived at about 10:50 a.m. at New Castle Airport. He climbed out of a gray SUV, greeted some military (see below) and then walked toward the press gathered near the wing.

Asked about tonight's debate he said, "Looking forward to it."

Asked about his strategy, whether it was rope-a-dope, he responded: "You ever see me rope-a-dope?"

You nailed it. Thats exactly what is going to happen.

I hope Ryan has prepared some appropriate zingers of his own.

Not that it'll matter to the press, their copy is already written.

As revealed by a video shown on C-SPAN, when questioned by a New Hampshire resident about his grades in law school, Biden had replied “I think I probably have a much higher IQ than you do, I suspect,” and then inaccurately recollected graduating in the “top half” of his class (he actually graduated 76th out of 85), that he had attended law school on a full scholarship, and had received three degrees in college. In fact, he had earned a single B.A. with a double major in history and political science, and had received a half scholarship to law school based on financial need with some additional assistance based in part upon academics. During this time, Biden also released his undergraduate grades, which were unexceptional.

Actually I have seen people on both sides of the debate say this. and I agreee.

It's a political answer from the kind of people that 90% of us dislike. Abortion on the backburner? What does that mean? Does that mean that Ryan doesn't restate the Reagan-Bush-Bush Executive Orders that were undone by Clinton-Obama? Does that mean a dead or retired SCOTUS gets replaced by someone who will sail through, teh Constitution be damned? Does that mean pro-lifers have to suck it up until Democrats are no longer a threat to the economy and military? (meaning forever?)

Do you really want Ryan to join in on confirming Romney as worse than a squish on these issues?

This election is about more than 2012. If the Republican Party gets morphed into the Canadian Progressive Conservatives, you can kiss a conservative majority goodbye.

The bluest northeastern states like that sort of talk (NY, CT, RI, MA). But Romney stands to pick up crucial votes in the far more important states of PA, MI, OH and WI by not just shoving pro-life on the back-burner.

Ever see one of those videos where an antagonist with raised fists taunts someone? And then with the suddeness of a loaded spring the other guy just smacks the bully and knocks him out cold. Guy never knew what hit him.

Biden is a gaffe machine off script but tends to be very disciplined in debates.

Ryan needs to tell Biden.... When Radditzeee asks that of Ryan (we know she will) he needs to unload on that ‘Why are you asking me this question when the world is in flames, people can’t get jobs, we are disrespected throughout the world, going bankrupt and the Admin. can’t find out where the stimulus went when HE (pointing fingers at Biden) was in charge of it all?’

Biden is too cocky. That'll make him error prone and vulnerable to Ryan's careful approach to public discourse.

His overconfidence will also risk being seen as arrogance. Not an attractive quality for a big mouth like Biden.

Rope a dope: “act like a sort of dope on the ropes, letting Foreman swing away but, like in the picture, hit nothing but air.”

So basically, Biden is the dope.

agreed...you nailed it. Biden is going to pound his fist, get loud.. hurl accusations..

He’ll look like a madman, finally for the whole country to see, as long as Ryan can calmly face him off with facts, facts and more facts.

RYAN SHOULD NOT TAKE THE BAIT !.. Biden will end up looking like Foghorn Leghorn.. a comical presence. He will do great damage to his team tonight, IMO.

the MSM will proclaim he won.. but the people will know.. the people know the unemployment numbers are cooked. they know. they’ll also know that Biden is a fool.

BTW I don't think asking Joe to account for his forty years in DC would hurt much.

Forty years and what to show for it?
