VP Biden's response to MSM calling Ryan a 'bold' or 'gutsy' selection is perfection

[WI_DEM]

In North Carolina yesterday:

Biden's voice then began rising. "What’s gutsy about giving millionaires another tax break? What’s gutsy about gutting Medicare, Medicaid and education?” he asked. "They talked about what they're proposing as new? This is not only not new, it's not fair. It's not fair to the middle class and the working poor. And it will not grow the economy or reduce the deficit."

I hope he uses that in the VP debate.

1. I love Joe B. nt

[whathehell]

2. He echoed my own reaction, because at this point, being "gutsy" means

doing anything OTHER than that. .

[liberallibral]

3. Gutsy?? It was an INSANE Selection!!

[Scuba]

4. Attacking the weakest is cowardice, not "gutsy".

I want a President who will protect the weakest among us.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

5. it's exactly as you say!

Despots throughout the world and history have always used this "strategy" to terrorize the populace, lay claim to resources (wealth and labor), and gain the support of other powerful wealthy psychopathic types.

6. The Ryan pick is entirely GUTSY and not the least bit cerebral. That's a BAD thing.

Trusting the future of the world to Mitt's GUT elicits only one response, "Get a brain, Moran!"

Let us hope that the average voters are more cerebral than these wingnuts running for the White House.

11. And by "bold" they mean....

...."IN YOUR FACE.... LIBRULS!" as if Rmoney chose the one person we thought he wouldn't. It's like a double dog dare.... and a bunch of children. "Juvenile" is a more apt description.


A slight miscalculation.... based on the timidity of Dems in the past.


But I think the era of the backseat Dem may be coming to a close. If only because after 30 years a "trickle down" it's hard not for anyone to see it's been a disaster.

7. I Love Joe!

I am thrilled by what an asset he is to Obama's presidency.

[lunatica]

8. Me too.

And I love his gaffes too.

edited to take out a teabaggeratti apostrophe.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

9. I remember so clearly

my reaction when Obama named Biden as his VP choice: WHEW! Still feel that way.

[hifiguy]

10. Joe tells it like it is.

He's the best.

[dsteve01]

12. Yeah!

BLOODSPORT!
BLOODSPORT!
BLOODSPORT!

I would love to watch a debate between Biden and Ryan moderated by Van Damme.

Or Subzero

13. I actually agree that it was a bold decision.

After all they could have gone with someone who was both reasonable and likable by many but they boldly decided to go the other route with someone whos unreasonable and unlikeable.

[rtracey]

14. Funny

This selection seems to cater to their conservative base only. Women, seniors, latinos, gay and lesbian, poor, sick, not so much. If the Tea-party were actually supportive of the United States as they claim to be, they would disprove of this selection also, because of the foreign influences brought into this election by both Romney and Ryan.

[cstanleytech]

17. If the "tea party" (which we all know their not even a real party but rather a gop faction)

was honest in cutting government spending one of their first cuts would have been to their own pay, healthcare and retirement but since they didnt cut that I think its safe to say they are in it for the money.

15. Way to go, Joe

[Third Doctor]

16. We need more like Joe

A lot of the Dems in congress seem like scared little kids at times.

18. re:VP Biden's response to MSM calling Ryan a 'bold' or 'gutsy' selection is perfection

it would affect myself and 40 other persons in my apartment complex .

[Jennicut]

19. Joe is awesome.

I loved this response. Gutsy? More like pathetic.

[Brigid]

20. Joe is going to rip Ryan apart when they debate.

It will be must-see TV!

[INdemo]

25. Of course, but the corporate media will of course claim Ryan won the debate

etc etc,..can't you just hear RW shills like Blitzer or whatever his name is go on and on after Biden rips Ryan

[Beartracks]

21. I keep hearing how this "shakes up the race." <roll eyes here>

Good -- maybe it'll shake some sense into a few more people who will then no longer support this rightwingnuttery.

====================

[surrealAmerican]

22. That statement ...

... is a thing of beauty.

k & r

[Blue Owl]

23. Love how he turned "gutsy" into gut-punching

Say, maybe I am looking forward to those debates after all...

[DCKit]

24. "I hope he uses that in the VP debate."

They're out of ammunition. Time to step up Pelosi, your ammunition is drier than a.....
