Fuzzy math? It was Biden who claimed 0bama's tax policies would only affect those making over 1 million dollars a year.

Why do liberals keep coming armed with faux, paper mache weapons to a deabte?
Yes, fuzzy.

Biden as Buiden and Ryan was ryan . Both aimed at the base suppporters;nothing else. One would think that most did not remmeber Biden in his presidential nomination debates basically ridiculing Obama has a amateur especail;y in foreign policy. Hillary protrayed him as one you didn't weant to answer the red phone at night and Buirend one who would acuse crisis.

What a load of baloney. Biden aimed at seniors tempted to vote for Romney by addressing them directly on entitlements. He aimed at middle-class independents in Romney's 47% of takers.

Ryan tried to do the same, just not nearly as well.

Is that the same Rupert Murdoch whose newspapers were caught spying invasively on privae citizens and politicians alike by taping phones and bugging their homes.

That Rupert Murdoch?

(nice try though)
I think so. Murdoch's paper is located in a country where politicians frequently get "pied". In fact, Murdoch himself once got pied.

Even in politics there are rules of decorum and decency.

Have you ever watched C-Span and watched members of both houses and how they address each other? They may disagree vehemently but, at least they still have manners.
Or the State of the Union message where a congressman interrupts a president with "You lie"!

You want you VP choice to be a level-headed person, because if he becomes the president something catastrophic has just happened and we need a level-headed person to step in during this crisis. Biden is an over emotional, barely sane individual, prone to speaking horrible gaffes and incorrectly recalling facts and events.
Have you never watched a previous political debate? I remember a debate in 1992 (I think it was the VP debate) where my then 8 year old daughter ran out of the room crying b/c the combatants, er, candidates were being so rude, shouting at each other and interrupting.

I rest my case. That was an excellent debate in which the candidates actually had to think on their feet and articulate ideas off the cuff. You thought it was rude and just yelling. Again, I rest my case.

First, he DIDN'T interrupt him.

Second, The Congressman was CORRECT.

So, being rude is OK now because it happened before?
