he may have violated the "do no harm" directive.

Is the morning talk about:

Benghazi? No
Medicare? No
Joblessness? No
Tax cuts? No
Social Security? No
Nuclear Iran? No
Joe being Joe? Yes

Jackass the Clown certainly embarrassed himself, however.

If it was a "victory" it was Pyrrhic. This image (courtesy of SeekAndFind) really says it all.

I wonder if Ryan’s mission possibly was to draw out all of their fire.After that verbal purging, where Joe seemed determined to say everything he had rehearsed, whether or not it made sense, they can’t have much left. That means Romney can now have crafted answers ready for just about anything they throw at him.

I concur with your assessment. Well said.

Geraldo on Fox & Friends this morning thought that Ryan missed a chance to really hammer Biden on Benghazi. He also thought that the VP debate would stop Obama’s slide in the polls.

*** Biden was a Laughing Hyena-—smirking and grinning at the most inappropriate times. ***

After the first couple split-screen shots of that moron and his goofy facial expressions, I thought, 'He's doing an Al Gore. Is he crazy?'.

But as it continued, and then with his interruptions, I just got mad as hell. And for sure I would have told him to SHUT UP! And I *may have* even smacked him as there comes a point where words alone won't work. I do admit that as I've gotten older, I'm a lot less tolerant with fools, idiots, and loud-mouth drunks

Biden was acting like all three.

And that so-called 'moderator' could have used a good slap too. She was playing Crazy Joe's debate partner.

BIDEN WAGED WAR ON WOMEN-—SPOUSAL ABUSE VICTIMS WARY

Women who suffered spousal abuse said they could barely watch the debate-—b/c they were unnerved by Biden’s antics.

They say Biden eerily reminded them of abusive husbands. All the tactics abusive men use to brutalize and demean, to make women feel inadequate and unimportant were the tactics they saw Biden use:

(1) not listening to their side,
(2) interrupting them when they dared speak up,
(3) laughing and mugging when they tried to air their grievances,
(4) demeaning and marginalizing them for daring to disagree,
(5) asserting male superority to keep women downtrodden and subjugated.

Women were unsettled by Biden’s behavior.
Those who say Biden “won” the debate-—must be all men.

I've been trying to think of a word that described Ryan's demeanor during the debate and it's "earnest".

Compare that to Biden...

I read those comments by those abused women and I think they're right. Biden came accross among other things, a loudmouth Bully.

So I think the only ones that are saying Biden 'won' aren't necessarily all men, but surely are all Barking Moonbat socialists and wanna be tyrants. The type that occupy the internet sewer known as: Democrat Underground. Violence is there favorite posting topic.

One of DU's 'all-stars', Moonbat -- William Rivers Pitt, was even banned from DU for a time for threatening to beat up a homeless female site member. But the women there are just as classless and vile as the (cough) 'men'.

Think it best to keep talkin’ up Biden w/ fem-lib talk——b/c it makes the Dems go ballistic——and b/c more and more women will see Team Obama for what they really are.

Need to ask themselves-—who would they rather see come home for dinner—smiling/abusive Biden or soft-spoken/ working-class Ryan?
