Second mistake by Biden (1st was not repsonding to claim about Egyptian Embassy statement)

[StevieM]

He didn't get to respond to Ryan's claim that taxes went up. Now Ryan has repeated it. It's amazing how facts have no place in the lives of the GOP.

1. biden did great

[AC_Mem]

2. I don't want to call out the errors

right now. he did SO well.

[unblock]

3. he did try to cut in with something like "no we didn't".

but biden was getting shortchanged on time at that point.

4. He did not have enough time to refute every lie, nor should he be expected to

He kicked Ryan's ass, and you want to talk about the 1% of Ryan's litany of lies that were not directly refuted?

5. There's only so much you can do in response to the Gish Gallop

but yes, I too, wish that he had been able to challenge Ryan's statement of taxes going up and expose it for the bullshit comment that it is.

6. It would have been nice.

But I'm satisfied with him calling out 99% of the bullshit.

[0rganism]

7. "Democrats = Tax Increases" is firmly entrenched in the narrative

Biden was probably smart not to engage on that ground. He barely had time to call out Ryan's immature BS, it'd be damn near impossible to debunk 35 years of coordinated media messaging.

8. Huh?

He said they cut middle class taxes, and he responded to the attacks about the embassy.

9. Turd in the punch bowl.

10. Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like a downer. I put up other posts tonight talking about how great

Biden did overall. I just can't stand listening to the GOP lie and instinctively want every one corrected.

Now back to the party!!

11. Thanks Stevie, now go back to bed.

[StevieM]

13. OK, point taken. See my post right above yours, apologizing for being a downer (eom)

[ecstatic]

12. He got some REALLY important points in

The 47%, getting out of Afghanistan, protecting a woman's right to choose, the Supreme Court, and medicare.
