Vice Presidential Debate Thread


As we get ready for the Bidenisms to start flying fast and furious, I'm turning the floor over to you, gentle viewer, to lend Slow Joe a hand! Tell us some of the Bidenism you hope to hear tonight! I hear he wants to be very aggressive.

(FYI, I will do my best to provide a summary tomorrow in addition to the film review.)

Also, by request, I've put the "follow" button on the bottom left of the page for those who would like to be able to follow the blog in Google reader.

T-Rav said...

And look how far we've come.

Joel Farnham said...

Add, "Lets look at the facts." to the drinking game.

rlaWTX said...

47% - DRINK!!!

tryanmax said...

Now Joe is indignant.

Joe Biden said...

PAUL RYAN WANTS TO PUSH GRANDMA OFF A CLIFF!!! ELEVENTY!!!!!!

AndrewPrice said...

That was confused.

tryanmax said...

I'm waiting for Ryan's response because this is his turf.

T-Rav said...

Are you quite done?

tryanmax said...

Okay, Joe is slipping into pomposity. That won't work.

Notawonk said...

paul needs to stop yielding when joe talks. period.

AndrewPrice said...

This is exactly what Ryan needed to say!

Kit said...

Biden is coming off better than Obama last week. Of course, Carter in 1980 was better than Obama last week.

rlaWTX said...

you're right, patti

T-Rav said...

I really want to walk up to Biden and wipe that smug smile off his face. God, he's annoying.

rlaWTX said...

why is Ryan doing this Romney thing?

AndrewPrice said...

Nice!! Ryan is doing a great job humanizing Mitt.. and dipshit is laughing like a jackal.

T-Rav said...

Ouch.

AndrewPrice said...

SCORE!!!!

rlaWTX said...

Andrew, thanks for that explanation

tryanmax said...

Zinger!

Notawonk said...

rattled!

Joe Biden said...

I know he's generous, but that won't stop me from saying otherwise.

AndrewPrice said...

I knew Biden would exploit his dead wife AGAIN!!

rlaWTX said...

1 million jobs = 200,000 working?

Notawonk said...

smellin like bs...

T-Rav said...

The only way that would be accurate is to say that ONLY 200,000 people are working today. Which might well end up being true.

tryanmax said...

Andrew, probably the best thing to happen to his political career.

rlaWTX said...

one party control - go Ryan!!!!!!

T-Rav said...

It's not his fault, people! IT'S NOT HIS FAULT!

BevfromNYC said...

Wow, she just cut Biden off...cool. I think she may be overcompensating for the "Obama came to my wedding" thing.

rlaWTX said...

why the heck should he put a date?????

tryanmax said...

Biden is such an @$$!

Notawonk said...

hammer him with the stimulus! green pork!

T-Rav said...

Drop the politeness. Stomp on this clown.

tryanmax said...

Because Biden has never asked for money for his state, I suppose.

rlaWTX said...

they'd already spent the money - why shouldn't he ask for some it for his constituents?

AndrewPrice said...

This is the problem with Biden -- he just spews bullshit and it's like fighting with a tar baby.

T-Rav said...

That's what happens when the White House refuses to turn over half the documents subpoenaed.

Notawonk said...

i am a bit disappointed. i want ryan to have guns blazing. too much is at stake. he needs to shut joe down.

rlaWTX said...

was Holder running the investigations?

T-Rav said...

rla, if you weren't aware, our side is expected to be pure as the driven snow. They can do whatever they want, on the other hand.

AndrewPrice said...

Joe really looks like an ass.

tryanmax said...

Honestly, I think what Ryan is doing is the best that can be done.

Low-Information Voters said...

That seems okay, but I really want to hear what Grandpa on the left has to say.

rlaWTX said...

the back half of the jackass

T-Rav said...

AARP, a famously neutral organization.

AndrewPrice said...

Ryan needs to say, "Joe, do you simply not know what you are talking about or was it your plan to lie about everything you said tonight?"

This is all bullshit!

rlaWTX said...

yeah, I believe Joe.

T-Rav said...

You forgot "Or your lying eyes" as an option, Joe.

Notawonk said...

i WILL follow my insticts. thank you...

rlaWTX said...

hasn't the market bounced back for the most part?

Notawonk said...

here's the problem: ~points to joe~

Kit said...

Now Ryan is hitting his stride.

rlaWTX said...

schoolin' Joe!!!!!

T-Rav said...

I'm really tired of that senile smile of his. And everything else about him.

Notawonk said...

BOOM! finally.

tryanmax said...

What a JERK!

BevfromNYC said...

Good for Ryan! Be polite, but firm. Don't interrupt me when I am trying to speak the truth. The people are better serve. Good job.

rlaWTX said...

God Almighty - a lightning strike would be great about now...

AndrewPrice said...

I want to push Joe Biden right now.

T-Rav said...

If that man ever shows up in town, I am going to tear him a new one. Vice-Presidency be d**ned.

AndrewPrice said...

punch, not push

Granpa Joe said...

I was there at the beginning of time....

tryanmax said...

There is not enough alcohol in the world to get through this!

rlaWTX said...

push Granpa Joe off the cliff!!!!

tryanmax said...

Translation: we will not be part of any solution!

T-Rav said...

It's called taking turns, you stupid @#$%.

tryanmax said...

Ryan isn't letting Biden interrupt. Good.

Individualist said...

Well Ryan ios getting some shots in

Hopefully by the end of this Joe looks like the tool he is

rlaWTX said...

keep talking, Paul.

and keep noting the difference in age between them

BevfromNYC said...

Tryanmax - sure there is...vodka...lots of vodka.

rlaWTX said...

TRUST!!!!

Joe Biden said...

I WAS THERE!!!!

rlaWTX said...

scare tactics - love that emphasis!

AndrewPrice said...

I really want to punch this f*cker

T-Rav said...

I think I like Obama more than I like this jackass. #ThingsIThoughtI'dNeverSay

tryanmax said...

Bev, they'll need to start shipping straight from Russia to my house! Better yet, Sweden. I love Absolut

rlaWTX said...

"contribute" slightly more??? you contribute to charity! taxes TAKE!

Notawonk said...

horrible moderator. biden: Bush....Bush...Bush...

drink!

BevfromNYC said...

What is 800 million billion dollars exactly?

T-Rav said...

Bev and tryanmax, you know what I hear is great? Absinthe. Illegal, but great.

tryanmax said...

Bev, a big f*ing pile of dough.

Granpa Joe said...

babble babble

Notawonk said...

joe is showing america his jerk tendencies. he can't SHUT IT for one full minute.

rlaWTX said...

Go Ryan!!!!

BevfromNYC said...

Tryanmax - You need some really smooth Texas boutique vodka. It's as smooth as a baby's...that's creepy. But's it's filtered 10 times and really, really smooth.

T-Rav said...

Bev, that would be 800 quadrillion dollars. But that's probably a word Slow Joe never learned, so he went with million billion instead.

T-Rav said...

Ryan versus this old fart. You make the call.

tryanmax said...

T-Rav, screw liquor. I need some heavy narcotics.

BevfromNYC said...

T-Rav - Absinthe is not illegal anymore. I've never tried it though. Okay, I know WAY too much about liquor...I admit it.

Notawonk said...

bev: are you talking about Tito's? cause i have a couple of bottles in my freezer RIGHT NOW!

T-Rav said...

It's a two-on-one smackdown! Great!

"independent" moderator said...

give me details so I can dump all over you!!!

Notawonk said...

ryan is too dang polite. he brought a knife to a gun fight.

AndrewPrice said...

Fuck you Joe. I'd love to wipe that smirk off his face.

T-Rav said...

I don't think you can, Joe.

tryanmax said...

Trot out the list of villains. Bwa-ha-ha-ha!

T-Rav said...

Andrew, shall we go with mallet, crowbar, or baseball bat?

Individualist said...

What a classless #$%$#%#the Raddatz is

Notawonk said...

ANDREW! man, all this time i was holding back my cussing-tourets!

tryanmax said...

Where the heck did this $5 Trill number even come from?

BevfromNYC said...

Patti - Tito's is great, but I have several other Texas vodkas that blow Tito's out of the water - Savvy and Deep Eddys, both distilled in Austin are fabulous! You can't get them outside of Texas yet.

Ryan's getting his "sealegs"!!1

T-Rav said...

God. Bev, you may need to email me your liquor knowledge before this is through.

tryanmax said...

That was snippy! Joe is melting down. And he's just playing the "trust me, I'm a Democrat" card over and over. It's pretty weak.

rlaWTX said...

golly - Joe is an annoying jackass "full of sound and fury signifying nothing"

T-Rav said...

tryanmax, they pulled it out of their anus, just like everything else.

AndrewPrice said...

If I was Ryan, I would get up and beat Joe to death and I'm not kidding.

Notawonk said...

joe's wearing his asshat. looks like it was custom made for him.

tryanmax said...

What about the business that makes $250,001. Seriously, who gives a crap about the percentage? You're still screwing people.

CrispyRice said...

This is driving me crazy. Joe needs to STFU or Ryan needs to just keep talking over him when he interrupts. Ugh.

BevfromNYC said...

Andrew - He just can't literally beat Joe. Really, he can't. LOL. We frown on that kind of that thing in the US.

T-Rav said...

Isn't it great when the moderator is completely impartial and objective? I assume it is, I honestly wouldn't know.

CrisD said...

Biden had a little liquid courage before this. Terrible moderator. Ryan is measured and speaks clearly when allowed.

tryanmax said...

Raddatz: please do the math for me. *plugs ears* LALALALALALALA!

Notawonk said...

bev: have heard of Deep Eddys, but never tried it. will zip to specs this weekend. or maybe in 5 minutes. momma's gonna need a reserve stash...

AndrewPrice said...

So there are no cuts, but Ryan wanted them and we need them. Nice Joe.

T-Rav said...

I don't know how Ryan is still sitting there and keeping his calm. I know I wouldn't be.

Democrats said...

No T-Rav an impartial and fair moderator would be not great... then we'd lose every debate

rlaWTX said...

This is why I couldn't be a politician - they have to stay calm when nitwits bellow!

T-Rav said...

Biden boorishly interrupts in 3...2...

AndrewPrice said...

This woman is so biased. Her question was basically, "Obama won Afghanistan, why not leave now?"

tryanmax said...

I've got it! I've thought of a way to get though this. Just imagine that, when this is over, Paul Ryan will hold you in his arms and rock you back and forth whispering, "it's okay. it's all over, now. shhhhhh."

Notawonk said...

"fact is..." DRINK!

rlaWTX said...

yeah, AQ is decimated... whatever.

T-Rav said...

And that's working out so nicely, isn't it? Just ask those new Afghan policemen.

rlaWTX said...

tryanmax - you promise?

tryanmax said...

rlaWTX, no, but it's nice to pretend.

Hey Girl #4 said...

Tryanmax - I'd go for that. Ryan can hold me anytime! Wait, that's creepy.

rlaWTX said...

cause nothing bad happens on the bases...

"almost completed"
Kabul g'vt doing what????

T-Rav said...

If all goes well, the Kabul government will be stable through approximately January 2015. Maybe.

Notawonk said...

t-rav: dreamer!

tryanmax said...

Raddatz: Mr. Ryan, when did you stop beating your wife?

rlaWTX said...

because he has a brain!!!!!!!! that's why he won't guarantee!!!!!!!!!!!

T-Rav said...

rla, he said, "imagine" it. He didn't say Paul Ryan will actually be holding you in his arms. Don't be silly.

John Lennon said...

I told you I'm not the only one.

rlaWTX said...

T-Rav - you hurt me.

rlaWTX said...

Tall -E -Bahn?

Tennessee Jed said...

I had to turn it off folks. Joe Biden turned this into a farce; something akin to the old Hardball debates. Ryan was a little too nice. The moderator was useless, but the split screen of smirking Biden made it into a joke. I hope people are turned off by what he did. The only thing Biden did better than Obama was launch into his own set of numbers. Most people will get lost in the numbers here. I expect some media will say "mission accomplished" Joe. I don't think the moderator was particularly partisan, but she wouldn't or couldn't control Joe.

Individualist said...

Uh MArtha

The Taleeban is so far back in the stone age they don't know about calendars yet so it's all good

T-Rav said...

I occasionally wonder who in the Beltway thought laying down arbitrary deadlines was a brilliant idea. In all likelihood, it was Slow Joe himself.

AndrewPrice said...

Hey, a fair question at Biden! I had no idea she could do that... must be a mistake.

Joe Biden said...

Hey Mr. Tali-ban, tally me a draw-down!

Daylight come and me wan' go home.

Notawonk said...

"concerned about pulling out"....hehe...good for a naughty laugh. see what this has done to me?!

rlaWTX said...

go Ryan - explain what the idiot is babbling about!

tryanmax said...

Patti, it's okay. I've had a lot to drink so nothing bothers me anymore.

T-Rav said...

Strangely, I think this foreign policy section is making Ryan look more competent than the economics stuff did.

rlaWTX said...

Patti - he's Catholic, right?

Notawonk said...

tmax: hahahahahahaaaaa. that will be the stupidity i remember tomorrow.

T-Rav said...

Afghan troops trained in how to shoot our troops in the back, but trained nonetheless.

rlaWTX said...

I heart Paul Ryan

Individualist said...

Trained Afghan personnel

oh the ones shooting our troops yeah

Notawonk said...

rlaWTX: bwhahaha!

tryanmax said...

Generally, Biden has come off as rude and angry, tonight. The MSM and the true believers will call that a win, but I think everyone else will see it for what it is.

Or the alcohol is talking.

rlaWTX said...

Yeah, those Afghans, Indi...

T-Rav said...

Very good, Joe! Syria IS a different country.

Notawonk said...

geography!

rlaWTX said...

what question is he answering????

tryanmax said...

Biden has gotten indignant at just about every question. It's not believable anymore.

rlaWTX said...

Like the one in Egypt - legit govt!!

Individualist said...

So uh

Not an Al Qeada sponsored gub ment like in Egypt

rlaWTX said...

"ground war in Asia"


uhuhuhuhuhuh

Joe Biden said...

Heck, we just put troops in a ground war not long ago! Don't want to do that again.

tryanmax said...

Biden wouldn't know a fact if it was a pit bull locked on his ass.

T-Rav said...

And you're just all about speaking up, aren't ya Joe?

Notawonk said...

BOOM!

rlaWTX said...

facts, you keep using that word, I don't thin it means what you thin it means...

I need to watch the Princess Bride again...

BevfromNYC said...

Of course, we just sent troops to Jordan today, but hey who's counting?

tryanmax said...

My name is Paul Ryan. You killed my economy. Prepare to die!

BevfromNYC said...

Okay, I have to say it. I miss LawHawk...;-(

rlaWTX said...

Granpa Joe needs to turn up his hearing aid, because Ryan just answered that question very neatly

AndrewPrice said...

There is honestly nothing to say about Joe because he's a liar.

Individualist said...

Humanitarian Aid instead of UN

uh even though we went to UN

Notawonk said...

bev: i just found out tonight, and i've cried. i never met him, but i'm gonna miss him terribly.

T-Rav said...

Wait, I thought you just said you didn't want to run the risk of setting up an Al-Qaeda government by accident. So how do you know you're not actually aiding....?

rlaWTX said...

Yeah, Bev, I thought that a little earlier.

tryanmax said...

Oh good. There you are Andrew. I was afraid you'd done something rash.

Notawonk said...

tmax: perfect! ~wields sword~

T-Rav said...

rlaWTX is to Princess Bride as Bev is to GWTW

rlaWTX said...

yes, Ryan!!

T-Rav said...

Oh Lord....

AndrewPrice said...

How did I know that she would get to abortion?

rlaWTX said...

T-Rav, they keep saying things that fit!

tryanmax said...

This question is bull$#!+

Notawonk said...

please talk personally so we can tear you to shreds. thank you.

T-Rav said...

This is going to be a doozy. I take back my drinking rule. Throw out the stomach pumps and paramedic assistance if you want.

rlaWTX said...

Of Course - we have to go here... Ryan hasn't managed to disgrace himself, so we have to get people mad!

tryanmax said...

My son's nickname is "The Bean"

rlaWTX said...

good turn to the freedom issue!!

BevfromNYC said...

Good answer about abortion, Paul!

Notawonk said...

CHINA! y-e-s!

tryanmax said...

Oh listen. Biden put on his "serious voice"

AndrewPrice said...

I guess Biden's Catholicism doesn't include "thou shalt not lie."

T-Rav said...

Say Joe, didn't you vote for a constitutional amendment once to overturn Roe v. Wade? Because I'm pretty sure you did.

rlaWTX said...

"practicing"

WHAT - "people who can't take care of themselves" who else more than preborn children fit that?

Notawonk said...

i am catholic. i DO NOT believe in handouts for the sake of handouts. p.s. i am NOT your friend.

T-Rav said...

Technically, it's not their bodies, but go ahead.

AndrewPrice said...

Joe: There is no mafia.

Notawonk said...

low talker = truth speaker. right?

rlaWTX said...

What're the HHS suits for then???

Individualist said...

How does your religion affect your positions..

Biden: Religion? Is there a french word I can come up with no one understands that essentially means I ahve none
