RNC: Biden interrupted
Ryan 82 times

Washington Examiner [DC], by Joel Gehrke

Original Article

Posted By:JoniTx, 10/12/2012 12:04:24 AM

Vice President Joe Biden interrupted Paul Ryan 82 times in a 90-minute debate with rival Paul Ryan, while CNN reported that women preferred Ryan. “FACT: Final Count: Biden interrupted 82 times during the entire debate,” the RNC’s Joe Pounder tweeted after the debate. CNN’s Gloria Berger said that she would have liked Biden to show less “condescension” and “eye-rolling.” Even MSNBC’s Chris Matthews — who thought that Biden won the debate — said that Biden “was openly contemptuous and disrespectful”

All that was missing in Biden's performance was him throwing his feces at Ryan. It was like a flashback to the opening scene with the apes in ''2001 - A Space Odyssey. ''

Notice how Biden talks down to everyone, as if he's granting their stupidity an audience with a savant? And that smirking grin is so annoying.

I don't know how you could say anyone 'won' this pathetic debate. The moderator lost complete control and came across like Biden and Ryan were both debating her. Liberal women are an embarrassment to my gender.

Biden belongs debating with the Three Stooges, any one of whom has triple his intellect. Biden memorized some things of which he had no command and other than that just counted on interrupting to try and knock Ryan off his game.

Drudge has a link to an RNC video (The Laughter) showing Biden laughing as Ryan is speaking about the economy, Libya, military, etc.

"Vice President Biden is laughing," the video text at the end of the ad reads, "are you?"

Ryan looked like he did his debate prep in Zippy's Choomobile. Biden needs professional help. But what really scares me about that polident-fresh, wildly grinning, filibustering fool is how many middle aged women and white working class men buy his bologna. Doom is in the air this evening.

A more important question is how many times did the moderatetrix cut off Ryan versus Biden. It was absurd. She continually interrupted and stopped Ryan, but rarely did likewise with Biden. Our group started yelling out loud for her to start treating both candidates equally. And Biden's verbal interruptions were less noticeably offensive than his "Joker"-like smile. The guy is either on medication or needs to be.

At the very beginning of the debate when Ryan was discussing the murdering of our men in Libya, Joe Biden was shown falling off his chair laughing. I wondered what the murdered victims families were thinking about Joe's laughter.
As Ryan was discussing the threat of Iran building a nuclear bomb there is ol Joe again falling off his chair laughing. I honestly thought there was a good possibility Joe was drunk, his laughter was so inappropriate

I suspect that the Biden team hoped Ryan would be deferential to the VP and sho enuf - he was - too much. At some point, Ryan should have (could have would have) said to Raddtaz, excuse me Martha, but it's my turn as we all agreed to this format.

And quite frankly, how the heck does Ryan's family come out on that stage all smiles and shake Biden's hand or his wife's hands?

And speaking of Biden't wife - he had to bring up his first dead wife who was at fault in the car accident - not the other driver.

Oh and Biden is from Scranton, PA - whippee do. A perfect opportunity for Ryan to have said, but Mr. VP - how long have you been in the Senate - 30+ years.

It appears to have been planned, as noted at #9 and #15 .... those interruptions when Ryan was speaking. The leftist moderator cut him off mid-sentence more than one time, while Jihad Joe jumped in 82 times, as Ryan attempted answer a question.

Guess they thought they could destroy his thought process by placing him on the chopping board. It didn't work. Biden and the abetting moderator were shown to be exactly what they are .... rude and classless.

Biden was so fake TV wrestler-like tough, in such plain bad taste, that I thought of turning off the so called debate. Between
Biden's 82 interruptions, and that strange woman's interruption of Paul, it was like a staged, bad play. Paul tried to make sense and was cut off so many times before finishing his thoughts that it looked like Joe was coached by Bill, the interrupter, O'Reilly, whose rudeness is his FORMAT !
Biden is a socialist ex senator, who is trying to act strong supporting his error filled, weakling, raging president.
One easy summation is that both Obama and Biden are possibly the two most angry, really mad people we've ever had in high office together. We've got to toss them out.
Both of them sickeningly played to the poor and downtrodden to soak up votes.

If facts don't matter, and they rarely do to limousine liberals, then Joe could have, with a stretch, won the debate.

The comment about the security having been cut at that Embassy because of a Ryann was ripe fruit. Ryan could have asked Dolt'n Joe why it was more important to have Chevy Volts and charging stations at the Embassy in Vienna, than armed security at an American Embassy in a radical Islamic country, especially after the Ambassador requested it.

It's clear that Obama/Biden both have contempt for Romney/Ryan. They showed it in different ways during the debates....but in both cases O/B were dismissive of the serious answers R/R were giving. Boy are they going to be taken aback on November 6th....about 90 EST.

Biden stated that "the administration didn't know the dead Ambassador requested more security." Also, they didn't know that there was no protest at the Embassy. They didn't know it was a terrorist attack until intelligence reported these this things weeks later..YET he believes we will KNOW when Iran acquires the ability to deliver nuclear weapons?? s/
The substance of the debate last night was deadly serious to each and every American, our precious troops are being thrown hither, tither and yon..like sacrificial lambs, with no bullets, the order to not shoot even if shot at..and Biden laughs.

It was obvious the moderator was in the tank for Biden. She cut Ryan off and let Biden run on. But, I think it all worked for Ryan's benefit. Ryan handled it perfectly. If the moderator did her job and controlled Biden, he would not have looked so stupid and would have had a better debate and Ryan would have less sympathy. Ryan handled it perfectly. He would not have done well doing what I thought to do, of pouring his glass of water on Biden's head.

Biden got his points across as above poster notes but they were mixed with blatant lies and political overspin as in the 47%.

obama's firm 47% is starting to ditch him in some states so maybe they know that to have a free and providing country we first have to have a country.

The crumbs from the Capitalists table are better here than all the confiscated wealth.

Ask the 47% of whom I am one in poverty and retirement dependency but not his 47% voter (formerly) lock along with the other discriminated against blue collar white guys and the gunnuts and rednecks and even the unemployed of the same IMO.

The stinky old bird Joe, dead duck, or rotten turkey did obama who shot from the lip that he couldn't be prouder 9of has helped obama have a lock or lean on only 10 states. Poetic justice from tangled webs?

Romney should tell Obama to pound sand himself in regards to the next 'moderated ' debate.
This was a disgusting travesty and Romney is a sucker to go to the next one.
Come to think of it, all Republicans are suckers for engaging in any debates with Democrats and a stacked deck of Democrat 'moderators'.

Just say no, Mitt.

Tell Obama that in light of the complete and utter lack of respect and civility toward a fellow American citizen exhibited by a sitting Vice President of the United States of America, the next two debates are in the can.

I was in a taxi on the way to pickup my car (by the way never use pepboys..) and the driver was listening to the debate.

I noticed right off how rude Biden was and how the "moderator" was cutting off Paul Ryan. She even re-directed the topic away from Libya to Iran as Ryan was scoring hits.

Today on Rush and Hugh Hewit radio and on websites the talk was about how rude Biden was. As Rush stated today, if Biden had won the debate we would still be hearing about it but the corrupt news people are already changing the subject as they know Biden lost big.

OFA has agreed to disclose limited information about its $250-and-up donors on a quarterly basis.

MOSCOW – Russia slapped sanctions on a pair of former top Bush administration officials, two former commanders of the Guantanamo detention center, and 14 other Americans in retaliation for a set of human rights sanctions the Obama administration imposed on a number of Russian citizens on Friday. In a statement, Russia’s Foreign Ministry said it was forced to respond to the American “blackmail,” which it warned would harm US-Russia relations. The Kremlin had prepared a list of over 100 American officials in advance of Friday’s announcement, warning its response would be proportionate to the Obama administration’s actions.

Thousands of people are supporting the plot as the eyes of millions of people turn on St Paul’s Cathedral next Wednesday. The architect of the protest is Dominic Francis, 25, whose parents live in a £700,000 home in Royal Tunbridge Wells. Mr Francis, a student at Ruskin College in Oxford, said mourners had brought the disturbance on themselves by holding such a public event. He was urging protests with a ‘heavy heart’ because of the ‘State funding’ of the huge ceremonial event.

President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, paid the lowest effective tax rate since they moved into the White House by taking advantage of the most popular — and expensive — benefits in the tax code. Tax returns released by the White House on Friday show that the Obamas paid an effective tax rate of 18.4 percent on more than $608,000 in adjusted gross income earned in 2012. Last year, their rate was 20.5 percent. They were able to lower the amount of income on which they were taxed by more than $258,000 by claiming several big-ticket deductions.

In 2011, the journalist Mara Hvistendahl published Unnatural Selection: Choosing Boys Over Girls, and the Consequences of a World Full of Men, detailing the societal effects of sex-selective abortions that target women the world over and resulted in the absence of perhaps more than 100 million girls who by now should have been born. But Hvistendahl soon learned the downside to uncovering what many believe to be a shocking trend in human rights offenses: people will want to do something about it. And so she lashed out, declaring that “anti-abortion activists

The mother of a 6-year-old boy killed in the Connecticut school shooting used the opportunity to fill in for President Barack Obama during the weekly radio and Internet address to make a personal plea from the White House for action to combat gun violence. ´Thousands of other families across the United States are also drowning in our grief,´ said Francine Wheeler, choking back tears in the address broadcast Saturday. ´Please help us do something before our tragedy becomes your tragedy.´ Ben Wheeler was among the 20 first-graders and six adults killed in the Dec. 14 attack

Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), one of the architects of the Affordable Care Act, said on Tuesday that the healthcare law, set to go into full effect in less than eight months, is “probably the most complex piece of legislation ever passed by the United States Congress” and “is just beyond comprehension.” Rockefeller said he is concerned that early missteps with implementing the healthcare overhaul may cascade into confusion and chaos. The law, said Rockefeller, is “so complicated and if it isn’t done right the first time, it will just simply get worse.” Rockefeller’s consternation echoes comments made earlier this

In Philadelphia, at a human abattoir on Lancaster Avenue, is where it ends, not where it starts. It starts with the perversion of language. It starts when the icons of a dissipated culture reduce a baby to a “fetus.” From there, Yeats’s blood-dimmed tide rolls rapidly in. Before long, a baby is not a person but a punishment, as President Barack Obama framed the matter in his familiar off-the-cuff iciness. Of course, to describe newborn children in their boundless possibilities and wonder would be to acknowledge, foremost, their humanity. That is why, instead, abortion enthusiasts must grope for words

Pro golfers, golf writers, and TV commentators are up in arms that Tiger Woods was only given a 2-stroke penalty for his illegal drop on the 15th hole yesterday. Tiger said last night that he dropped his ball two yards behind his previous spot, clearly violating the rule that you must drop "as nearly as possible" to your original spot. Golf people are not happy about it. They say that the new rule is B.S. (or it´s at least being misinterpreted), and Tiger should DQ himself to save the integrity of the game.

Only one of my six children has left New York for economic reasons but the strain of living in this expensive nanny state is weighing heavy on my other five and their families. As a native New Yorker, I´ve seen its middle class population decline over the years due to its neglect of blue collar families which is ironic since this is a Democrat city. With the recent arrests of several local politicians for corruption perhaps New Yorkers will pay more attention to those they put in office. Given their past indifference in local elections this is highly unlikely.

Remember little Anthony Freemont, played by cute little Billy Mumy, in one of the "Twilight Zone´s" most famous episodes? In the opening sequence Rod Serling informs us: "A monster had arrived in the village. Just by using his mind, he took away the automobiles, the electricity, the machines -- because they displeased him -- and he moved an entire community back into the dark ages -- just by using his mind. . . . and the people there have to smile. They have to think happy thoughts and say happy things because once displeased, the monster can wish them into a cornfield

They say they were just doing what the boss trained them to do. But eight former employees of a run-down West Philadelphia abortion clinic now face prison time for the work they did for Dr. Kermit Gosnell. Three have pleaded guilty to third-degree murder. And Gosnell, 72, is on trial in the deaths of a patient and seven babies allegedly born alive. In testimony at the capital murder trial this past month, an unlicensed doctor and untrained aides described long, chaotic days at the clinic. They said they performed grueling, often gruesome work for little more than minimum wage,

With President Obama, there’s always a catch. In the 2014 budget he announced last week, Obama proposed a more accurate way of calculating the inflation rate for annual cost-of-living increases in Social Security. It’s a technical change in pursuit of honesty and good government. And if adopted, it would cause benefits to grow more slowly, though almost imperceptibly so. Republican leaders in Congress ought to be delighted since they had “championed”—Obama’s word—the idea in the first place. Then came the catch. The president’s price for adopting this gentle reform was hundreds of billions in new tax increases.

On Thursday, in the midst of ongoing national debate over prospective gun control and comprehensive immigration legislation, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) said that he didn’t need the approval of a majority of his own party to move forward with legislation. Referring to the so-called Hastert Rule, named after former House Speaker Denny Hastert (R-IL), which dictated that House leadership not bring up any bill for a vote without the support of a majority of the majority party, Boehner said, “Listen: It was never a rule to begin with.” Then, realizing the gravity of admitting

LOS ANGELES — Jonathan Winters, the cherub-faced comedian whose breakneck improvisations and misfit characters inspired the likes of Robin Williams and Jim Carrey, has died. He was 87. The Ohio native died Thursday evening at his Montecito, Calif., home of natural causes, said Joe Petro III, a longtime family friend. Petro said Winters died of natural causes and was surrounded by family and friends. Winters was a pioneer of improvisational standup comedy, with an exceptional gift for mimicry, a grab bag of eccentric personalities and a bottomless reservoir of creative energy.

A few hours after Margaret Thatcher´s death on Monday, the snarling deadbeats of the British underclass were gleefully rampaging through the streets of Brixton in South London, scaling the marquee of the local fleapit and hanging a banner announcing, "THE B@&$! IS DEAD." Amazingly, they managed to spell all four words correctly. By Friday, "Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead," from "The Wizard of Oz," was the No. 1 download at Amazon UK. Mrs. Thatcher would have enjoyed all this. Her former speechwriter John O´Sullivan recalls how, some years after leaving office, she
