Joe Biden was drunk? Now this just pisses me off!

Fox is creating a smear campaign about Joe being drunk. Some of the other hacks over there are on twitter spreading it as well.

That is just disgusting. Especially since obviously Joe doesn't drink. They will stop at nothing to get their win. I have to say all of the other bullshit they say I can ignore. But this is becoming very personally insulting and disparaging for a really great guy - just because their little snot boy got beaten

isn't Ryan of Irish ancestry as well?

I'd put it down to experience vs callowness: Biden's been around, taken his knocks, and learned. Ryan's never had to perform in front of any constituency other than his district and admiring teapartiers.

Because they will use that inch to take advantage to beat you in the head. They are thugs, conartists, sociopaths, and greedy sobs that should be given no mercy, as they will give no mercy to anyone that dare defy them.

Fox obviously doesn't care about how low they go. It speaks a lot about conservatives in general, that they have people that are lying, cheating weasels with no honor or ethics and that have the audacity to make up a fictional world where the facts don't matter to represent them. Noone should vote for these lowlives just because they think taxes are too high, or that government is too big, rewarding such lowlives is dishonorable and rewards bad and downright evil tactics, and is quite frankly unpatriotic.

46. Joe Biden has one of the best speaking voices I've ever heard.
Sat Oct 13, 2012, 11:12 AM
Oct 2012

He launches into very long sentences with no hesitation at all. There is never a break or a pause - never a sound that is not a word - he has what they call in the media "a great set of tubes".

If you listen to clips of him from the debate, that's how he sounds from the debate. Very few people speak that well. And NOBODY could do that drunk.

This is apart from the content of what he is saying. The man has excellent communications skills to begin with. But he's got an exceptional VOICE. The Republicans just don't like what he has to say.
