Grandpa Joe

I felt all through the debate that Joe Biden regarded Paul Ryan as though Biden was a grandpa viewing a misguided teenager.

If the amount of drinks of water consumed was any indication, Paul Ryan seemed to feel the same way.

    Grandpas don’t sneer, laugh at and constantly interrupt their grandchildren or other young adults Suzanne.

    You on the left may think that type of disrespect is somehow “presidential”, but it’s not. It is small, which is all this administration can do given its record.

    What do you think about the deliberate lying on Benghazi-gate? Is that “presidential”?

    Actually, sometimes kids need to be taught a lesson: You can’t lie & get away with it just by being charming. Ryan is not the first young stud to get put in his place by an older experienced guy.

    Would you rather Joe smile and laugh at Ryan’s whoppers or be mean-spirited and call him a liar? He sure was not going to give him a pass.

    The astonishing thing is the way the media accept this guy as an intellectual, a policy wonk. What BS! You do NOT get to be “the math guy” if you cannot or will not do the math. If you want to claim a $5 Trillion tax cut is “revenue neutral”, you have to show us how, not just smile sweetly when you say it.

    Oh, and if you want to criticize embassy security? You lose credibility if you voted to gut that security funding by $300 Million.

    Phil, several studies have been done about being revenue neutral, by legitimate accounting groups and they do say that the $5 trillion tax cut is legit. Find another lie to spread, this one is exposed.

    George, You’re assuming that you know how I feel. I made a VERY neutral statement and you assumed I approved.

    I have 15 grandchildren and they all adore me and vice versa. And I sometimes smile at their youthful ideas.

    However, I’m glowering at your overreaching assumption.

    Do you sneer at them Suzanne? Do you constantly interrupt them when the polite thing to do is wait until they are finished speaking and then say what you have to say…

    Don’t glower too much, it will put wrinkles on your face…. :-)

    Congrats on the grandkids, they are the best gift God gives us!!!!

    We also agreed on no abortion after 3 months for the convienence of the mother…. You may have been a little longer, but not much as I remember…

    It all depends on how your kids are raising their kids if they shoud stop…. IF they are raising conservatives, then the party should not end…. If,on the other hand, they are raising libs, then by all means STOP!!!!

    :-)…..

    It saddens me to see you mention the word Christmas when Winter Holiday is soooooooooooooooooooooooo much less hurtful Suzanne…. NOT… See, we agree on 2 things now!!
