The VP Debate

[djones520]

What I'm curious about was, did Ryan ever interrupt Biden? I saw the count, 113 times Ryan was interrupted between Biden and the Moderator. Did he return it at all? I can't find anything saying that.

Got to share this, this was posted on FB by a friend.

So, the left leaning pundits after last night's debate want to harp on Romney/Ryan for not providing enough specifics in how they would handle health care. I have only one thing to say about that. "We have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it". Your move.

All so true.

I'm sure that in an hour and a half he had to have at least once but if so it wasn't noticeable enough to remember, I am impressed with Ryan's patience and ability to control his anger, I could never do that with a bully like Biden.

Ryan has to be truthful about the economy without getting too wonky and putting people to sleep. A couple of major points should suffice:

• At present levels, our grandchildren will be paying our debt.
• All that debt is owed to the Chinese, who are not happy about it and who are getting more militarily advanced
• So much is subsidized that we are all on welfare of some kind or other

The Problem with the debt is not the who it's owed to but the total amount of debt.

Gotcha, but I'm telling you, the message about owing money to China is good to get out there. That's why Mitt is using it.

If there are any true undecideds out there, Biden nudged them to the right.

Any new polling data on the presidential race?

No idea. Other than I heard Romney has a 7 point Florida lead now. I don't give them much mind.

And if you're asking to see if the VP debate had any impact...don't they make the disclaimer that you have to wait a few days to see any impact from those things? Maybe by Monday they'll be saying if the VP debate impacted the polls.

Mitt's message isn't so much that China holds the debt but it wouldn't be as necessary if the govt quit putting the squeeze on producers and domestic energy production.

Don't forget 29:4

By justice a king builds up the land; but one who raises taxes tears it down.
