Biden Smackdown Sucks Air Out Of Romney Campaign

Garrett Haake ?@GarrettNBCNews

After several days of big, loud rallies in OH and NC, today's VA event seemed a bit flat. Romney tired perhaps and crowd less rowdy


Romney as he arrives for a rally in Richmond, Va., Friday, Oct. 12, 2012.

President Obama must finish Romney off on Tuesday, no more of that ignoring Romney's lies bullshit that happened in the first debate.

Best thing in a Town Hall debate is to really listen to the questions and give thoughtful answers, all the while hitting your own debating points and undermining the other guy's. But it is tough to be hard hitting.

A good friend of mine as a TEABilly as a friend. On my friends page - he's been 'ramping up' since yesterday evening.

Today - when she posted a link to the numerous lies told by Ryan - the guy started up again. She did her best to get this guy to see that he's listening to Ryan's Lies and therefore he's all agog over nonsense about 'what Obama is going to do'. She told him to 'prove' his taxes will go up to 50%. I simply observed - then LIKED his following statement:

Really *Name of my Friend*? I guess it's fortunate for you that I'm too busy preparing my business for tax rates in excess of 50% to go look for it.


Now you might say, "But justanothergen - Whyyyyyyy did you like that? He's talking about a bold face unadulterated lie."


Yep - He sure is.
He can't prove it.

But the man on the street in Southern NJ? He just admitted he has no faith that Romney can win. Last night - 100% in his corner. Today? Preparing for another 4 years of Obama.

Let's start to really LISTEN and READ not what the pundits or pols say - but to the words and actions of their staunch supporters.

I've got a feeling that Republicans have forgotten what a big, loud rally looks like.
