Biden Strikes Back

So now that Joe Biden has thrown a big bucket of water on all the liberals who have been running around with their hair on fire this week, we can get back to the stark choices of this campaign. In a feisty 90 minute debate, It was clear right out of the blocks that Joe Biden put the wood to his Republican counter-part. Biden was animated, used facts, and called Ryan out on the non-sense Romney got away with in the first debate. Bottom line, Biden did what he had to do to stop the momentum shift Romney gained last week.



Ryan was scripted, stiff, drank enough water to drown a camel, and continued to push an economic plan that doesn't pass the math test, or the give the details needed to explain that fuzzy math. His lack of foreign policy experience was no match for Biden's years of experience, and it showed. He agreed with the draw down in Afghanistan, but wanted to leave the final decision to the commanders on the ground. The President is Command-in-Chief, not the generals on the ground, that's what you call leadership. If generals ran our foreign policy there would always be a war to fight, and deferring to them on matters of war, is clearly leading from behind. A term they like to pin on the President, but have no facts to back it up.

As for the media, they kill me. First President Obama was to calm, to disconnected, to disengaged, and now when Biden stands up and calls the Republicans out on all their crap, he was to aggressive, to emotional and dismissive. You're God damn right! These people are running to control the free world, not city council. Somebody needed to stand up and say enough already with the double speak, and smoke and mirrors. Now if Obama can repeat what Biden did, it's game over. The American electorate isn't as informed on these things as I'd like, but people can generally recognize a pair of bullshit artists when they see them. They're going to cut taxes (mainly for the rich) 8 Trillion dollars, and have the nerve to say to American people, but we can't tell you how until AFTER the election. They are going to create 12 million jobs, and don't give us any idea how that's going to happen. They are going to make us energy independent by 2020? Are you kidding me? I can hear the roar of laughter at Exxon-Mobil as we speak! Stop for a minute and just listen to what these clowns are saying? It's sunshine and happy days, if we just go back to the policies that got us into this mess in the first place, it's INSANE!

It really is pretty simple, it you want more tax breaks for the wealthy, and an 8 Trillion dollar bill added to the debt that gets paid for with pixy dust?
If you want another war in the middle east in Syria, or Iran, or both?
If you want to overturn Roe v. Wade  and let states decide abortion policy?
If you want women to pay more for insurance just because they're women, abolish Planned Parenthood, and impose invasive medically unnecessary procedures to get a abortion?
If you DON'T agree in equal pay for equal work for women?
If you want to throw 40 Million Americans back into the ranks of the uninsured?
If you think the auto industry should have gone bankrupt?
If after the biggest financial meltdown since the great depression, you want less regulation on Wall street so they can go back to business as usual?
If after over a decade of war, you still want an open ended commitment in Afghanistan?
If you think Mitt Romney just made a mistake when he called 47% of Americans victims and deadbeats, who won't take responsibility for their own lives?
If you want a lier for President and Vice President?
If you want all these things, then your choice is clear. However if you want the opposite of all these things, your choice is equally clear. Your choice could never be more important. Get fired up, get to the polls, and vote, vote, VOTE!
