Ryan did sound like a jackass the way he responded to most questions.

You know, I actually thought Ryan did a good job performance wise. He was fairly calm, he was well spoken for the most part... it's just the content of what he was saying that was lacking. But I guess that doesn't matter as long as it sounds good.

I base my judgement mainly on content. And he looks like Eddie Munster.

I do too. I don't think a lot of people do, though. Romney won the first debate by lying his #### off but sounding Presidential while he did it.

Ryan didn't tell any lies. There was zero substance in his talk. He looked like what he was, an amateur.

I agree with that one. He came across as amateurish and unprepared for the debate.

My favorite part was when Biden made him admit that he asked for stimulus money. Twice. After Ryan had just gone on and on about how horrible of a program it was.

That was good to watch because it shows how far Ryan was willing to back peddle and admit what he had said and done.

IMHO, Biden knocked it out of the ballpark when he spoke about abortion, and mopped the floor with Ryan's face.

The abortion answer was great. It's refreshing to hear people who say things like "right, my religion feels a certain way about this but I'm not going to enforce my religion on other people"

Precisely. He said it like it is and really, how it should be..

It is funny that the GOP always advocated less government and yet, they are always trying to get legislation to curtail the liberties of everyone...

Listen, they just want the government out of everyone's lives and their private business.

Except the women and the gays.

They want the government out of their lives, not the lives of everyone else...
