Who won the Vice Presidential debate?

I would give the edge to Biden for just one reason; I like my political debaters to be aggressive. Joe Biden was by far the more aggressive of the 2. He definitely did what Pres. Obama failed to do.

However, I cannot for the life of me make any sense out Biden making faces and his constant laughter. He was laughing more than anything and at the least it made him seem delusional. At the worst it made him look like he was hopped up on meth or disco biscuits.

I will give Ryan credit for remaining professional and being articulate. Biden often rambled so far off the subject I lost track of what the question he was attempting to answer was. I think the next time Ryan goes into a debate he will have learned from his mistakes in this one.

A free tip for Ryan; When you were talking about the danger of Iran becoming a nuclear power and Joe Biden was laughing as you spoke, the correct response would've been; " Joe, are you insane? I cannot see any humor in Iran having nuclear weapons!" and then continue your answer. 

Like any rational person, I see nothing remotely funny about Iran going nuclear. I'd like Joe Biden to explain to his fellow American's exactly what he finds so humorous about it.

Ryan Vs Biden Vice Presidential Debate

This may even top the time my daddy rented a stubborn mule as the worst ass whipping in history.

Ryan is going to positively destroy Joe Biden and I can't help but feel bad for crazy old Joe. He does a dandy job of making himself look like the village idiot but that will be nothing compared to what Paul Ryan does to him tonight.

You can join the Luzerne County Republicans at their debate watch party at Rodano's in Wilkes-Barre. Details here Debate Watch Party.

I'll be watching this from home again with a nice follow up on my take tomorrow.

Press Release from Congressman Barletta

Rep. Barletta Clear Winner of First Debate

Hazleton, PA - Tonight, U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta was the clear winner in the first debate between the incumbent congressman and Democratic challenger, Gene Stilp. 

Rep. Barletta clearly explained the challenges facing the 11th District and the nation, and proposed solutions in a wide range of subject areas, from job creation to foreign policy to energy.

"Lou Barletta showed he is not afraid to tackle the the tough issues, solve America's problems, and put Americans back to work," said Lance Stange, Campaign Manager.

"Stilp, on the other hand, offered vague, evasive answers and untruths to hide his lack of understanding of the issues and his shocking lack of plans or even ideas on how to save essential government programs that help seniors, the sick, and the poor."

I bet that title got some attention and now that I have it;

This is a quote from my friend Gort42's blog; The Luzerne  County GOP picnic had about 50 attend but they have gone back to the old ways of fighting each other. Urbanski won the Chair so the Casey supporters will boycott everything. More on that later in the week.

While I can certainly imagine what he will write, I thought I would chime in with my not so humble opinion. 

First, I never really was a Casey "supporter" and we disagreed, sometimes vehemently, on many things. That being said, I have heard nothing of an organized boycotting of any county events. Terry Casey and I most often disagreed on his "big tent" theory of including all no matter what their transgressions may be. My point was always; If they actively work against the party or in fact campaign for Democrats when we have a Republican candidate, who needs them. Terry never saw it that way.

It is a well known and established fact that even when Casey was chairman of the county party that there were members of the executive committee as well as elected committee people that actively campaigned for Democratic Party candidates. This didn't start under Casey's chair but long before. Frankly, I won't name names or "out" all of those in the County Republican Party that do this as they are all well known and can be seen at any large Democratic fundraiser. Think any Yudichak, Mundy, or Pashinski fundraiser and you'll probably recall seeing them there. (btw, I do in fact keep a ledger)

Do I understand supporting a friend running for office? Sure I do but when you sit on the executive committee of your county's party, you cannot do it. Period, end of story.

Well those that were best at this duality are now back running the county party. Does this mean I won't go to a county event? Absolutely not!! I haven't heard one other person tell me that they are boycotting anything either. Fact is I will probably see some of you at the Luzerne County Republican's Fall dinner!!

More Presidential Debate

By now we've all seen or heard some funny quotes about the debates last night. My personal favorites were; Dennis Miller "Obama better hope a kicked ass is covered by Obamacare" and ironically, from the uberdouche himself, Bill Maher "Obama made a lot of great points tonight. Unfortunately most of them were for Romney".

As a conservative, I think it is very important for our side to stay classy about Pres. Obama's stunning defeat last night. The far left has a penchant for being nasty, insulting, mouthbreathers and I think we should take a higher road than the Chimpy McFlightsuit crew.

Pres. Obama is a lot of things but stupid isn't one of them. he will come into the next debate far more prepared and won't look nearly as clueless as he did last night. 

What we have to look forward to now is the VP debates. I actually feel bad for Joe Biden. He had his hands full with Palin and let's be honest, she isn't exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer. Ryan will blow him away like a tumbleweed in a tornado. It will be both hilarious and sad to watch.

The First Presidential Debate

I am surprised that both candidates actually answered questions. This may be a first!!

Who won was obvious but it certainly wasn't a blowout. Congratulations Mr. Romney, you did well. You better get ready for the next one as I think President Obama is going to come in a little more prepared.

Romney was nowhere near as robotic as I thought he would be and Pres. Obama kept his uhs and ums to a manageable level.

Presidential Debate Drinking Game

I humbly offer 2 choices for your debate drinking game.

First, if you have to drive home after the debate, this one is for you. The rules are quite simple.
Every time either candidate actually answers a question you have to take a drink. I can almost guarantee you will be stone cold sober.

Second, if you have a designated driver or are watching from home, this one is for you.

Every time Pres. Obama says inherited, previous administration, Bush, uh, or um- you have to take a drink.

Every time Romney comes off looking and or talking like a robot- you have to take a drink.

If you follow those simple rules, you will be annihilated, blotto, wrecked, plowed, murdered, 3 sheets to the wind, bombed etc.

Enjoy the debate though I seriously doubt we will see anything new tonight.
