New
York, New York --- October 12, 2012 ... Last night's US Vice Presidential
debate appeared to be between a serious, sober and articulate
Congressman Paul Ryan and an intoxicated, out of control Vice
President Joe Biden.
According
to CNBC Congressman
Paul Ryan buried VP Joe Biden by 56 percent to 36 percent.
Why
was the spread so wide?
Biden,
who is normally a good guy and would have made a much better President
than Obama, appeared to have been either given bad advice by a
media coach to be overly aggressive or may have been drinking
before the actual debate. If he wasn't drinking, then it may have
been one Valium too many. As Ryan tried to respond to questions
asked by moderator Martha Raddatz, as on cue, Biden would either
interrupt or laugh as Ryan began to answer. Biden's laughing,
smirks, gasps and eye-rolls became so obnoxious that it continued
as Ryan was discussing Iran's lethal attempt to build a nuclear
bomb.
Biden
interrupted Ryan over 82 times.
Obama and Biden have been accused of ignoring requests and of
an apparent
coverup for increased security for US embassies abroad which
resulted in the murder of US Ambassador Chris Stevens and three
other embassy staff. Yet during the VP debate Joe Biden tried
unsuccessfully to deflect this issue by claiming that Ryan had
voted to cut security for the embassy. That was a sad and distorting
lie. Ryan had actually requested federal cuts across the board
but never itemized or earmarked embassy security as a budget cut.
Ryan
stated that Obama's proposal to let tax rates rise for high-income
individuals would tax about 53 percent of small-business income.
Ryan also
noted that 20 million people are projected to lose their health
insurance if Obamacare goes through.
On
the issue of women's rights, Ryan made it clear that he is pro
life but would authorize abortions in the event of rape, incest
or if the mother was in physical danger.
On
social media, Ryan was a clear winner.
In
addition to Twitters outrage with Joe Bidens laughter
during the debate, Ryan, @PaulRyanVP, went from 382,789 followers
prior to the debate to 393,255 followers after the debate. Biden,
@JoeBiden, went from 195,990 followers prior to the debate to
205,834 followers after the debate.
The
Facebook group Jews
for Mitt Romney states that in contrast to Barack Obama and
Joe Biden who cannot tell us where the capital of Israel is, wants
Israel to return to indefensible 1967 borders and does not require
red lines for Iran and it's building of a nuclear weapon, both
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have declared that they are on the same
page with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
On
Netanyahu's recent visit to the UN, Obama ignored the Israeli
Prime Minister's request to meet and instead gave an interview
on a TV talk show in New York.
"I
think Biden raises serious questions about his ability to be a
heartbeat away from the president," said Fox News contributor
Dick Morris. "His inappropriate conduct is glaring and will
backfire with the American people. He had no dignity or presidentiality."
