1. Lulz, Republicans projecting as usual. Romney is seen as a used car salesman,

The funny thing was, Ryan left himself wide open, a real rookie mistake, and Joe took the opening and pounded Ryan in the face.

Ryan helped Joe Biden kick his own ass.

13. I loved Biden's facial expressions when Ryan was pulling lies out of his ass.

7. They prepared that comment in advance, because Biden's father was once a car salesman....

I said that about Romney -- total phony polished "performance."

Joe came off as the real deal he is. He just talked. He didn't recite memorized statements. He was human.

They always want to paint their opponents with the brush that applies to them.

There is no link to the Republican Talking Points, but if you listen carefully, and recognize a pattern or repeated phrase, you can figure them out.

... specifically, I heard it said by at least 2 CSPAN callers right after the debate, and then when I was switching channels around, I heard a pundit say it (sorry, I don't recall which one). It was the CSPAN callers who made me suspect it was a new talking point, (as I feel certain that many who call in are operatives). Just a gut feeling.

Just now, I did a Google of Biden Ryan used car salesman, and it looks like I was right.

I wouldn't even buy one of those pine tree air fresheners from Ryan. I hear he makes them from undigested baby bits he finds in Romney's poop.
