[Political Junkie Too]

It wasn't an intelligence failure, it was a failure to ACT on intelligence.

-PJ

[Zeneta]

Biden out of the gate agrees that it was an intelligence failure.

Get ready for major leaks now from the CIA and open war between WH and intelligence community.

Looks like Gen. Be-Tray-Us will be making a return.

[mylife]

Ryan need to be more aggressive and nip Joes crap in the bud.

[God luvs America]

Dick Morris ‏@DickMorrisTweet #debates Ryan needs to interrupt and quote the state department that it was never anything but a terror attack. Ryan should open his mouth

Dick Morris ‏@DickMorrisTweet #debates Ryan should have insisted on answering Biden and not let her pick it up

Dick Morris ‏@DickMorrisTweet #debates Biden very effective. Not true but he's doing well. He just can't speak English

[isthisnickcool]

Biden is making dumb faces. They have told him to act like everything Ryan is saying is nuts.

[NYTexan]

?, would laz hit it?

[Westbrook]

Biden seems to be throwing Ryan off.

Ryan still hasn’t answered Plugs’ comment about the budget.

The “moderator” and Joe are both interrupting Ryan. not letting him finish.

[Red Steel]

Raddatz was leading Biden and letting him get the last word - Biden spewed total BS. And she jumped to another question so he would not answer. To Koran burning. Raddatz just cut off Ryan with another question.

[Deo volente]

I can’t decide whom I can’t stand more, Biden or Obama.

[Dr.Deth]

Sounds like Biden is willing to risk appearing like an *hole in order to give the impression of aggressiveness, but he’s just being an *hole.

Biden is making dumb faces. They have told him to act like everything Ryan is saying is nuts.

[penelopesire]

I’d hit it....with a cast iron skillet.

Lol

[Jane Long]

This hack is desperately trying to cover for the regime. Ryan coming on strong, now.

[ducttape45]

The moderator is clearly in Biden’s corner. The questions are geared for Biden to be looked upon favorably, while she asks Ryan the loaded questions to make him and Romney look bad. She keeps cutting Ryan off and giving Biden more time to answer his questions.

[backwoods-engineer]

Ryan is looking good. Plugs laughs when he gets zings.

Moderator said "I'd like to move to Iran." I bet she would, anti-American lib.

[MNJohnnie]

Focus Group on CNN absolutely hating Biden on Libya. This may fire up their base, it is costing them big with the Undecided.

Dick Morris ‏@DickMorrisTweet #debates Ryan is letting him dominate time on clock.Isn't he going to answer???? Now he's finally hitting it. He needs to call a coverup

[KeyLargo]

Biden told Radditz he wants to speak. First thing he said was "That is a bunch of malarky." Duh, another one of your tired old phrases Joe? CNSNews.TV

Biden: GOP Tax Cut Claims a 'Bunch of Malarkey' Vice President Joe Biden says Republican assertions that small businesses would suffer if all of the expiring Bush tax cuts aren't extended are a "bunch of malarkey." By Staff, Associated Press August 25, 2010

[matt04]

At least Obama didn’t laugh and smirk.

[Yaelle]

Ryan looks a little nervous,

Biden blames the intelligence. Bush was blamed FOR the intelligence. Bush lied, people died was based on that intelligence about iraq’s bio weapons. You can’t have it both ways, Plugs.
