Ryan should try and make Biden look as old as possible. Make him seem senile. That won’t be hard.

[pollywog]

Biden won’t debate on the merits. He will tell some folksy anecdotes (all made up), drop a bunch of names from his days in the house and mouth a bunch of slogan type zingers. That’s what he did against Palin. Almost every word out of his mouth was a lie.

.........and RYAN will set it all straight!!!

[hoosiermama]

Oh my maggie, if that’s Ryan we need to start a thread like we did for Scot Brown.....But I’ll bet he doesn’t have any of the modeling shots.....

[KansasGirl]

[ I predict plugs comes in well caffeinated, makes lots of stuff up and blames Republicans and opponents for everything]

Biden is a ruthless bastard, not the amiable dupe the press portrays him as.

I’m nervous about the debate. I think Biden and the moderator have most likely orchestrated an ambush. Biden will be out of control, imo. He’ll repeatedly lie through his teeth while accusing Ryan of doing just that!

Yeah, PX90 is mostly bodyweight circuit training. Good for endurance and getting ripped, but not for getting big and strong.

Ah!! Here you all are!!

[Texas4ever]

Awesome. I love looking at FR during the debates.

Last debate was so good...but we did go a little slow.
I wasnt able to comment due to the time it took to cycle.
Lets hope that doesnt happen.

We will know how this will go within 5 minutes of the debate.

My guess....Ryan will be the gentleman and wise one. Biden will try to out cool a younger Ryan and look foolish.

[thouworm]

Thanks for ping. Feel a little anxious. Praying that Ryan knocks it out of the park. Biden is going to try to push him off balance.

Dennis Miller just tweeted this:

@DennisDMZ: Oh no! Biden just noticed the abbreviation for Kentucky is KY. and he cannot stop giggling!

LOL I just love Dennis!

I agree Miller is a treasure.

[RacerX1128]

Well, he will be double teamed all night. But I have faith that he’s more than well prepared to deal with a 2 against one debate.

[LibLieSlayer]

If biden loses both butt cheeks in a train wreck of a gafftastic performance tonight... the press will spin it as a super win. If Ryan beats him... America will know it. A draw still helps Romney as Ryan would have gone up against the best debater that the dims have and by their own admission... Romney wins. Ryan will not lose because he has the truth in him and you never have to guess or lie when you are of the truth.

Some humour while we are waiting for Gaff-O-Matic and Paul Ryan Debate. I found this at youtube comment section of the video that shows how Holders people are scamming the Gov for free phones. One lady had 30 of them? Then presumably selling them to gangbangers and drug dealers. Features of the ObamaPhone: (1) It automatically rejects calls from people with a different opinion. (2) Every time you take a picture, it produces a grimmer image of America. (3) It doesn't have a plan; it just keeps telling you how bad the other guy's plan is. (4) When it crashes, it blames your previous phone. (5) All 3 AM calls go directly to voice mail. (6) It has a really useless app called "Biden." (7) Pairing it with another device sucks all the energy out of the other unit. (8) Type in "job search" and it gives you directions to the welfare office. (9) The navigation feature covers all 57 States. (10) The default ringtone for international calls is "I'm sorry, so sorry, please accept my apology." (11) The healthcare app downloads and installs itself without your permission. (12) When you make a call, a tel...eprompter pops up to help you speak. (13) Restaurant reviews are all written by Michelle Obama. (14) There are never any winners on Angry Birds. (15) Instagram takes two months to process a photo and you have to fill out 3 PDFs to do so. (16) Paypal app is replaced with ReceivePal app. (17) You can't find "Jerusalem" on Google maps. (18) It turns all your Facebook friends into enemies and all your enemies into friends. (19) Don't want to work? There's an app for that, too. (20) It automatically bows down to phones made by foreign companies. (21) When you watch a YouTube video, a US ambassador gets killed. (22) When you dial "home", it calls Kenya. (23) As opposed to the iPhone, it's called the mePhone

[Texas4ever]

Yes, but already slowing down?

FR too popular during debates,,,,ok we will take it.

Keep those comments coming.

Here we go Ryan....Here we go **

[kjam22]

Perfect world...?? Ryan carries in an empty chair and sits at the table. Tells Biden.. “i thought you might need some help... here’s your boss”

[RandallFlagg]

I'm SO glad that the coconut oil arrived today.
I'll likely burn up my popcorn maker tonight...

[MasonGal]

Sounds like a good plan to me. And - that’s great about the voting, today!! By the way, how have you been??

[Diana in Wisconsin]

PING!

[hoosiermama]

Can you find or make an old decrepit picture with BIden’s head...put the two pictures side by side with an “This or this?
