Which Ryan did over and over again.
Paul Ryan was rude and insulting to the American people with his lies. Joe Biden simply wasn't going to allow it.

(28,158 posts)Haters are going to have to hate on that. I refuse to fall prey to the trap of defending honesty over lies after the last debate, and how the media gave a pass to the liar.
Biden cleaned the floor with Lying Ryan. I'm fired up!

(17,865 posts)but I thought the moderator was letting Ryan run away with the time until Biden pointed it out. The final time came out even, but I wonder how it was until that point.
Biden did miss a golden opportunity when Ryan brought up Kennedy's tax cuts. The top rate was 91% when Kennedy cut it to 71%. That is far different than arguing about the rates around 35%-40%. The rate at $52K ($380K now) was 62%. It is now 35% on $380K (the highest rate).
Even believers of the Laffer curve have to acknowledge that rates are going to act a whole lot differently at 62%-91% than at 35%-40%.

(17,865 posts)time for responses. It looks bad when you shout down the other individual. I debated in High School, and I would never consider interrupting my opponent during his/her time. This is why I think these debates should follow a more rigidly structured format in which each candidate has the opportunity to cross exam their opponent.

I say it's insulting to let a lie get by without calling it, even if it's rude.
Thanks Joe! You're the man!
