You’ve heard about it;maybe you saw it.Part of my job is to cover this stuff and critique it for you so you don’t have to.If you missed it,consider yourself fortunate.It was ugly.Biteme was rude,condescending,arrogant,off-putting,bitter and overbearing.Had I been in Ryan’s chair,I would have been sorely tempted to leap across the table and administer the ass-whooping that his mama obviously didn’t give him.Maybe Ryan was told not to get into a mudfight with the ‘mouth that soared’,just let him rant.He did,I couldn’t.
It was evident early on that it was going to be two against one as Martha Rattazz pounded Ryan and interrupted him constantly if Biteme didn’t do it first.When he did,she just let him do it.Ryan kept his composure and acted like an adult while Crazy Uncle Joe was a complete jerk.This was intentional because his aim was to fire up the base.You know,the low-rent knuckle dragging morons who think lighting their own farts is funny as hell.Tingles was so excited I’d bet he had a chubby just thinking about Plugs pummeling the kid.
Obviously,most of the links today are related and I’m posting the entire debate on this thread for anybody who wants to see it.It was less of a debate and more of a campaign filibuster.At the end of the day,the country saw exactly who and what this administration is.

Especially for the success of tonight’s debate between Vice President Biden and Vice Presidential Candidate Ryan. To help focus your prayers for the debate, I created this graphic of the people and the place.
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man … to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. -Ephesians 3:14-16, 19
Lord, We bow before You in humble thanksgiving for Your gifts of power and strength, fortitude and might! We claim the riches of Your Glory and the fullness of Your grace that comes through the indwelling of Your Spirit within us. We pray for our nation to remain firm and steadfast in the knowledge of Your truth and the promise of the victory that is ours through Christ, who loves us. Amen.

H/t to Pistol Pete for the link. The CSB graphics used here are already up at Webshots. I’m just reusing them.
TRUTH: During the first 3 minutes of Part Two, Romney says,
“The president said he’d cut the deficit in half. Unfortunately, he doubled it. Trillion dollar deficits for the past four years. The president has put in almost as much debt held by the public as all prior presidents combined.”
LIE: Shortly after, at about 2:30, Obama says,
“When I walked into the Oval Office, I had more than a trillion dollar deficit greeting me.”
When Obama walked into the Oval Office, the 2009 budget that greeted him had been signed in 2008 by President Bush. But it had been passed by a Democrat-majority Congress, of which Senator Obama was a part. That budget contained a projected deficit of about $500 Billion.
The total deficit for 2009 rose to the “more than a trillion dollar” ONLY AFTER the Democrat-majority Congress and PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA passed the 2009 stimulus spending bill, an act that ADDED more than $800 Billion to that year’s deficit.
Obama also says, “We know where it came from”, and couches all the blame in such a way that Democrats are totally blameless … which is a lie. As you can see in the graph above, under the Republican-majority Congress, the deficits were coming DOWN. It was only after Democrats won control of the House and Senate, under Pelosi and Reid (with Obama in the Senate), that federal “credit card” spending sky-rocketed.

When you go into the polling booth in November, you will not be voting for America’s Newest Idol. You will be hiring the nation’s CEO. The debates will be your best chance to interview the applicants. The following are things you do NOT want to see in the man who will represent you on all domestic and foreign policy issues for the next four years:
The debates will all happen from 9:00-10:30 p.m. Eastern Time.

I have to admit there was a moment in the debate last Thursday, January 26th in Jacksonville, FL that really came out of left field for me. I honestly didn’t see it coming, but why shouldn’t I have? It seems so obvious after the fact, with the debate being in Florida and all. That moment came when Newt Gingrich brought up the idea of building a colony on the moon. Of course, it was quickly mocked by Mitt Romney as absolutely ridiculous in a time when the economy is in such bad shape. Romney also chided Gingrich, suggesting that he was playing the politician by going from place to place offering what each locale wanted.
For anyone just entering the campaign, perhaps viewers watching their first debate, this entire exchange looked like a huge victory for Mitt Romney and a crushing defeat for Newt Gingrich. But, as we all know, things in politics are not always as they seem. Was Newt really just pandering to the Florida crowd? His debate responses from December 10th in Iowa would suggest otherwise. In fact, video footage from that debate shows him giving virtually the same answers.
But what about the idea that he’d be crazy to suggest going to the moon while America (and the rest of the world) is on the verge of economic collapse? If you listen closely to Newt’s entire debate response, he wasn’t actually suggesting that the government colonize the moon, but rather that the private sector be encouraged and empowered to do so. In fact, if he could have given the response he wanted to give, I’m quite certain it would resemble this rather inspiring speech he had given in Cocoa, FL just one day prior.
With all that being said, isn’t it a bit “crazy” in this day and age to be talking about going to the moon? It’s like some pipe dream of days long past. But as Newt describes in Cocoa, it’s dreams like these that have inspired and continue to expire our next generation of young scientists all around the world. The irony in all of this is that on the day before the Jacksonville debate, January 25th, this YouTube video went viral.
It seems that two Canadian high school students decided to launch the first Lego man into space. They videotaped this project to share with the rest of the world, because young people really do still have dreams…and one of them is to go into space. It’s one thing to be realistic and practical, to live within our means, but it something else entirely to lack any sort of vision for the future. I don’t want to be part of the crowd that stands around chanting, “Yes we can!” I want to be part of the ones that make it happen!
