The left sees the lying but what are they going to do, reason with people who don't care about politics and only care about populist BS? It's a lost battle when you have to reason with irrational people. | ||

There's a big difference between Romney interrupting the moderator to make points and Biden constantly talking over Ryan when it is clearly Ryan's opportunity to talk. There's a reason why everyone is wondering how Biden's antics played with the public when virtually no one was asking the same thing about Romney. many people were very annoyed about how romney conducted himself for the past 18 months let alone at the debate. many people on the other hand are completely ok with biden aggressively attacking ryans ideas. just becuase you say no one is talking about something doesnt make it so. | ||

Oh, in Romney's case I think he was more then a little obnoxious ... but the fault lies with the moderator AND Obama for being a couple of pansies -- which EVERYONE was talking about. | ||

Are you seriously that ignorant of the politics game? Seriously, I checked this thread a few hours ago and you were there whining about Biden's overreaching assertiveness, which is what people like and want to see - how can you blame him? On the other hand you have Ryan, who's blamed Obama for the closure of a GM plant that happened before Obama was in power, and has participated to a political campaign that was all about the disingenuous tainting of Obama's image, sometimes through some quote mining that was not concealed in the slightest. And People eat that shit up even though it's disgraceful and even insulting - but the cesspool of voters is not likely to care. They eat that shit up, assume that everything that's said is true. Who's going to verify the date of the closure of that GM plant? Nobody - they'll just say Obama closed GM and TARP was bad (wtf do they want?). It's like that on both sides, although you're very clearly on the right. And you dare talk about intellectual dishonesty? I think your entire position can only exist because of intellectual dishonesty. | ||

I'm a bigot for mentioning that both sides use questionable tactics and that both sides are more blind to the questionable tactics used on their own side. Ironically, this is the case for xDaunt. I've seen that guy's posting for many months and he's not a moderate, at least not to my eye. Anyway, you deserve a slow clap. | ||

There's a reason why everyone is wondering how Biden's antics played with the public when virtually no one was asking the same thing about Romney. I'll acknowledge that the moderator was slightly biased in favor of Biden. But Biden was also putting forth much better points and countering Ryan's claims, many of which were not based in fact. Ryan was also very vague about his policies and dodged alot of questions when pressed. Ryan challenged Biden and Obama on Syria, then couldn't outline what he would have done differently, didn't respond to the fact that America's allies were in agreement over what they were doing, and finally conceded that he agreed with many of Obama's policies. I think it would be more intellectually dishonest to contend Ryan's performance was due to the moderator. | ||

I'm only referring to the intellectual honesty of people around here saying that Biden's antics tonight of constantly interrupting Ryan (and otherwise being ridiculously rude) are comparable to what Romney did. There clearly is no comparison. | ||

I bring up points, you call them diarrhea because I don't address your points. Your points: Joe Biden plays the politics game. Wah. Wah. Wah. I bet you're even fooling yourself too. | ||
