Which was the goal. It shows we can and will fight back.

Now Obama needs to do the same next week in his own way, without the "bullying" blah blah blah...

No surprises in that quarter. Their readers aren't voting Dem anyway. Let 'em spew.

its 'sleazy' and bullying to call out lies for what they are. Its apparently too much to expect an accurate description of ANY of Romney's tax plans, foreign policies, or even a peek at his taxes beyond 2 years.

"Bully vs the Wonk" - in my opinion, that is exactly what I felt last week during the Obama/Rmoney debate. Why is that a bad thing now?

These right wing fools need to get their story straight. If Romney is a bully, he wins the debate. When Bidden was forceful he's a bully and can't win a debate.

RepubliCONS are such cons.

Wow, and what did they refer to Romney as "On his game"? Hahaha!!

I believe the debate went rather well in Biden's favor. So did most dems.

Romney, on the other hand, really did come off as a bully, I can't imagine him meeting with heads of state with his arrogant know it all demeanor.

Ryan is running for VP, and would be next in line for President, but they are worried about him being bullied? Crocodile tears.
