We know Tom Del Beccaro personally. <br /><br />Knowing that a major pollster has walked away from Florida is a BIG red flag for Obama. Of course the media won't talk about it, it doesn't help them drive ratings in the last two weeks of the campaign. This is how they survive and pay the bills.<br /><br />Have you noticed the talk about hearings in the House over Libya have died down? Have you also noticed all the talk about hearings for Holder have died down?<br /><br />Just what do you think the reason is for all that?<br /><br />There's something in the internals that's driving all this behavior among the movers and shakers. Pay less attention to what they say and more attention to what they DO. It's not the United States of San Francisco.<br /><br />If that weren't enough, we have a friend whose daughter (BA, Dartmouth and JD, UCLA) is a staff attorney at Judicial Watch. They're saying it's over and has been over for about a year. The big boys are already divying up the spoils. <br /><br />This is really beyond your control. Trust me. I've been to the big time and it doesn't look anything like you say it does.

There was no acting, that was genuine sadness. Shame on Paul Ryan for bringing up a car accident in the first place. Whether he was purposely attempting to throw Biden off by remembering his dead family, or just inadvertently being completely insensitive it was a in very bad taste. That story should never have been told.<br /><br />I don't care how rude you think Biden was at the debates. I don't care how much you dislike Biden. The death of his family deserves compassion and empathy and Biden does not use it for political gain. He rarely talks about it and Ryan brought it up, not Biden. You're calling him out on faking sadness over his wife and daughter's death and that makes you a pretty terrible person. You should really evaluate why you hate someone so much that you can't even empathize with them on an event that would bring anyone to tears.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18020354270520271574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-18527800074822285472012-10-14T10:51:31.594-07:002012-10-14T10:51:31.594-07:008:07...I wonder where you get your facts...perhaps...8:07...I wonder where you get your facts...perhaps from Romney/Ryan.

Sorry, but when false "facts" and outright lies are allowed during the debate, then it is appropriate to laugh out loud when they are stated. Otherwise, they go by unnoticed or believed. I'm not thrilled with debate formats, but I think Biden was brilliant.

The purpose of the debate is not to score points for style, but to actually articulate your positions and views and defend them. That's what a debate is all about.<br /><br /> But most Americans who paid attention to the debate were probably watching TV and got distracted by Biden's grins and Ryan's quaffing water. What does that have to do with anything?<br /><br /> I listened to the debate on the radio and was frankly pleased to hear Biden defend his positions with enthusiasm while backing up with well known facts. Ryan, on the other hand, mostly sounded like a robotic policy wonk who thinks he knows all the answers as he continued to repeat his talking points.<br /><br /> I understand that the Veep has to defend his administration's record and that the challenger veep has to attack it. But I wasn't that impressed with Ryan. He seems out of touch with the mainstream of America, unless he thinks most Americans are that dense to believe his simplistic rhetoric.<br /><br /> Biden is no beauty either, but at least he's got a better grasp of what the heck is going on. Perhaps just as importantly, Joe Biden, not Paul Ryan, seems to have more of the important gift of historical prespective, something that many of our 'younger' citizens who live in this 'LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!' world of today sadly lack!
