Vice-Presidential Debate - Open Thread

Play the Joe Biden drinking game!

Every time he says MedicAid, take a shot.

Watch it live online from CSPAN.

Didn't think Libya would be the first question. Hmm...

or live on Fox News.

They're talking about the ultra-serious situation in the Middle East and Joe Biden is smiling & laughing. What a nitwit!

Mr Mallarkey shows up, so Misser Biden can connect with them little people, dontcha know

Hard hitting first question for Biden. Ryan nailed it.

Biden smile looks like the joker

Joe is easily amused.

Tough first question: was Libya attack a terrorist attack? Biden smiling and laughing at Ryan's response Is he drunk? Romney/Ryan evidently are to blame.

watched greasy Joe for a couple of mins and I already feel like I need to take a shower...

Obama's regime has been caught in a bold faced lie. Biden knows they were lying. So does everyone else in that room. Yet, with his finger wagging, he won't admit it, not even one little bit. Biden, Obama, et al are a bunch of grifters!

Hmmm......this moderator looks a little more balanced.

Biden is getting nailed.

Biden blaming "the intelligence community." This after the ambassador and co. pleading for extra security.

The White House wasn't told they wanted more security? Liar.

Waiting for Ryan to wipe that sh*t-eating grin off Plugs face.Disgraceful,smarmy old fool.

Biden's strategy is clear: lie, lie, and lie some more.

The Israeli's have a different story than Biden, he is the king of bluster.

Where'd everyone go? And why is Biden grinning like a hyena?

Wrt Iran you're watching Neville Chamberlain's #2 saying that Hitler is no threat :-(

Joe's counting on the intelligence community, the ones that allegedly told him that the ambassador's death was due to a Youtube video, to have the gen on where Iran is with developing nukes.

The CNN independent panel hasn't liked anything Biden said for the last 10 minutes...

BTW,CNN is running a graph at bottom off screen with reaction from 'undecideds'..Ryan is beating Biden,if my reading is correct.

Biden head down a la Obama.

He is a hyhena?..

I'm playing a game. Trying to think like a prog, and trying find something likable in Biden.

Not seeing it yet...

Now come the excuses about why Obama avoided meeting with Netanyahu. It's unbelievable. Think back to your school days. There was always one kid who could never tell the truth. That's Biden.

Who is Biden looking at off to the far right ?

I resent that.

No, not a hyena....that demon preacher from Poltergeist II.

Does anyone with a modicum knowledge of current world affairs believe Biden when he says that the "whole world is behind America now". That's sooooooooooooooo absolutely NOT true!

Ryan should ask Biden if he is so sure that Iran will not get a nuke,then why the toughest sanctions ever?

Biden's smirking makes me want to smack some sense into him...Did no one advise him not to look like a jerk!!

Biden - "God is innnnnn his Holy Temmmmmpleeeee."

I unequivocally apologize to any hyhena's I may have offended...

Now Biden is accusing Paul Ryan of "holding hostage" the American people.

Joe laughing at unemployment in his home town.

Biden's blinking hard...what could it mean..?..

This is just pathetic. "Tax cuts for the super wealthy". I wonder if Plugs knows what the debt is.

Ryan looks like the nice guy humouring his senile grandad. At the same time, stop telling this story about how nice Romney he is. Talk numbers, Ryan.

I hate personal anecdotes in debates...

Joe: I always say what I mean.

/priceless

Paul Ryan just brought up the issue of giving to charity. Joe Biden is the CHEAPEST donor to charity of any public official I'm aware of.

Nice rejoinder by Ryan on Biden about 47%. Biden and his fake laugh.

Biden: "we need more jobs."

Well cook the books some more, Joe!

Syncro,

Biden's blink is code for "I cant even see my teleprompter?"

I just had to shut off the tv and watch the comments. Biden and Obama have that same "smile' going that makes me ill.

Gord Tulk @9:29pm - I agree wholeheartedly!

He's gone from "my dead wife and daughter" to this Joker routine in 3 minutes. Now he's laughing.

Yes!! Ryan mentions that the Democrats had control of both Houses and still the economy is tanking.
