Ryan does have substance, you don't get this far by being just fluff. I'm no conservative but I think he's gonna own Biden during the VP debates.

I don't think you understand how gully Biden is. Don't let that debate with Palin fool you. Try googling some videos of him telling people off. He didnt go in on Palin because he didn't want to appear as if he were picking on the mentally retarded. He won't have that problem with Ryan. You are going to get vintage smug condescending Biden. Probably the only debate i will tune in to see for that reason. He's getting it in.

What I've come to realize is that the average voter (well a majority of voters) are ignorant, and don't do their own research. Their opinions are based on tidbits that they hear from political pundits depending on what station you watch. People are worried about things they haven't even taken the time to understand (The Deficit, The Country's Credit Rating, etc.)

We need to understand what things the president is actually responsible for, what decisions he has made, and what is actually in his control.

Sidenote: I'm tired of these folks at the RNC talking about the American Dream :russ:

People really buy into that shyt? That if you work hard and get an education you can be successful? Really?

I mean I dont reject it fully. That is the thing about America. If you work hard, plan your future, you can get ahead. Now, does the American Dream mean that everyone from dirt poverty can become a millionaire? No, that's impossible. And I hate that the GOP abuses it in this way to justify letting income distributions stay the way they are. Its a cop out. "Look at (insert self made billionaire here), why cant you do that"? The American Dream should not be about telling people to shut up and pull up their bootstraps, it should be about creating an environment with as much possibility for upward mobility as we can.

He didnt go in on Palin because he didn't want to appear as if he was picking on a girl. He won't have that problem with Ryan. You are going to get vintage smug condescending Biden.

I hope you're right breh. I wasn't too impressed with Biden during the debates in 08. I hope he proves me wrong.

Paul Ryan

Ryan’s speech was an apparent attempt to set the world record for the greatest number of blatant lies and misrepresentations slipped into a single political speech... the Romney-Ryan campaign has likely created dozens of new jobs among the legions of additional fact checkers that media outlets are rushing to hire to sift through the mountain of cow dung that flowed from Ryan’s mouth. Said fact checkers have already condemned certain arguments that Ryan still irresponsibly repeated. Republicans should be ashamed that there was even one misrepresentation in Ryan’s speech but sadly, there were many.

Biden was a street hoodlum and goon.

:facepalm:

What is your evidence of this? You can't read how excited the "base" is on TV. The fact is that each base is gonna come out and vote for their candidate. But the base don't win elections. The independents are what decide this election. And there's a reason Romney is desperate to get a higher percentage of the Latino vote/women vote. Because being the party of old white men isn't gonna get it done. Just like it didn't get it done in 2008 for McCain.

This is some worrisome shyt breh
