Those of you with Conservative friends and family....

What does your social media of choice look like right now?

I have quite a few conservative friends on Facebook and they have been crying that Joe was too "mean" since the start of the debate. Oddly enough, none of these people said a peep about the Romney/Obama debate last week - not even to gloat. Now my feed is ablaze with the same whining and hand wringing I saw from liberal friends last week, only much more amplified. They are saying that Ryan looked so calm and so Presidential and that he obviously won based on that. Sucks when that shoe goes on the other foot.

'you may have a slight edge but no slam dunk. We will be ready for next. Tuesday'

We've agreed to disagree, down the road. I don't engage others who feel as he does, on the subject.

My best friend is a super conservative republican. We just don't respond to one another regarding politics. Mainly because I'd own her.

So they make fun of VP Biden's teeth and say he acted immature. They never have anything of substance to offer.

No one is disputing any points. They are just whining that he was mean. Last week, I saw many liberal friends crying about Mitt's behavior, BUT they were able to dispute and discuss all of his points. Tonight it's just comments about behavior and, as you said, teeth. They are in a panic.
