#1 Ryan and intellect do not belong in the same sentence. He is an empty coat, he has no substance and cannot even articulate or offer specifics on his own plan. #2 You labeling someone else senile is hilarious.
If the President up and dies a year from now, I think either Ryan or Biden would be fine, honestly. Politically, I don't agree with Ryan's philosophy on government, but I don't think having him at the helm puts the whole country in some tail-spin to disaster. Conversations like this are too rhetorically dire. The office of the President gets a lot of support from a lot of smart, experienced people. And both these guys are smart, talented guys. And there are 2 other branches of government, and a large and well-developed civil sector. For a caretaker term to get us to the next election, it doesn't seem likely that the whole country is really going to fall apart. A little rudeness from one guy or relative inexperience from another isn't going to be a big deal.
We had a work event during the debate, is it available online still? I was going to watch, but I had heard from everyone that Biden just laughed and interrupted the entire time...
Just like the tea party, what a pathetic fraud. Charity president unhappy about Paul Ryan soup kitchen ‘photo op’ The head of a northeast Ohio charity says that the Romney campaign last week “ramrodded their way” into the group’s Youngstown soup kitchen so that GOP vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan could get his picture taken washing dishes in the dining hall. Brian J. Antal, president of the Mahoning County St. Vincent De Paul Society, said that he was not contacted by the Romney campaign ahead of the Saturday morning visit by Ryan, who stopped by the soup kitchen after a town hall at Youngstown State University. “We’re a faith-based organization; we are apolitical because the majority of our funding is from private donations,” Antal said in a phone interview Monday afternoon. “It’s strictly in our bylaws not to do it. They showed up there, and they did not have permission. They got one of the volunteers to open up the doors.” He added: “The photo-op they did wasn’t even accurate. He did nothing. He just came in here to get his picture taken at the dining hall.” Ryan had stopped by the soup kitchen for about 15 minutes on his way to the airport after his Saturday morning town hall in Youngstown. By the time he arrived, the food had already been served, the patrons had left, and the hall had been cleaned. Upon entering the soup kitchen, Ryan, his wife and three young children greeted and thanked several volunteers, then donned white aprons and offered to clean some dishes. Photographers snapped photos and TV cameras shot footage of Ryan and his family washing pots and pans that did not appear to be dirty.
And your labeling someone like Ryan an "empty coat" shows me someone who can't see that his emperor has no clothes.
Agree with your dislike for candidates' self-serving photo opportunities that are staged. I just wish you would show the same disdain for the same type of phony photo ops staged by Obama and Biden.
