Can someone please tell me why no one speaks to the easy way to "save" social security which would be to increase the income that is taxable under FICA?
I agree katbur. I expected greatness from him last week, which is not at all what we witnessed. I hope he's watching Biden & taking notes. Call them out on the bullshit. Don't let them get away with it.
I didn't expect greatness from Obama last weekend, since he's not really a great debater. Great orator, not a great debater. I expected more than we got, of course, his performance was poor.
I do expect great things from Biden, and so far, based on what I've heard (started tuning in about halfway through, was in class tonight), I'm getting it. Real refreshing the way he is calling out Ryan on all his half-answers and politicizing.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
GRRRR. Sometimes I hate, hate, HATE getting into political discussions with idiots on FB. My friend is an enlightened, sensible woman, but damn if her friends aren't a bunch of dimwitted twits who refuse to use their functioning brains to engage in anything close to resembling logical discourse.
Bottom line is this: if you don't want to own a gun, don't own one. Don't tell anyone else they can't. If you don't agree with abortion, don't have one. But don't deny that option to a woman who wants to exercise her legal right to make choices for her own body. And for the love of Corncat, don't insult a woman just because she has a uterus. Contrary to popular (read: Conservative) belief, it is quite possible for a woman to have both a functioning uterus AND a functioning brain at the same time. And believe you me, pal...I consider one when using the other when I cast MY vote.
From the little I saw of the VP debate I think Biden won. He was brought more heat than Ryan. All Ryan had to do tonight was not screw up and give the papers and news a headline tomorrow. From what I saw he didn't do that. I don t think much changes after this debate. I don't like Ryan at all. I don't like Biden that much either besides the fact he is entertaining. I don't by much in to VP candidates bc they basically have no power. The debate this weekend is crucial though. Obama needs to be o n his game bc if not I see a pretty big shift in the polls coming
"I don't like how Biden keeps smiling and laughing! He is so rude!"
"Ryan kept his calm and was respectful!"
"This moderator is horrible!"
"Polls are pointless. All that matters is the vote in November. And Romney is going to wipe his ass with Obama in the real election!"
These were some of the things that I read on my FB News Feed last night. I just don't get it. Everyone wails into Obama last week for being too polite, timid, and quiet. Now, all the sudden, Ryan "wins" the debate because he was polite, timid, and quiet.
My own mother messaged me last night saying that she just doesn't like either VP candidate (which means she was disappointed in HER candidate, Ryan). I love it that no one is saying Ryan had better remarks or Biden said crazy things. It's nothing but making fun of Biden for being "too loud" and complementing Ryan on his "composure." It's all just excuses! Calling the moderator "horrible," when she was hailed as being a great moderator by almost all accounts, is another excuse.
I can at least tell you this much: I, too, was disappointed that Obama didn't call out Romney on his bullshit. But myself and almost every Democrat FB friend I have only commented on how he should have done better. We didn't go on and on making up excuses or calling Romney "rude" and "loud."
This debate will only have impact if the energy Biden put forth continues into Obama. People are not going to vote based on a VP debate. Obama needs to let Romney have it next week.
