VP Debate will be moderated by ABC. Paul Ryan will pound Biden into the ground.

Turns out you were quite wrong on that one, sparky.

Biden shined and Ryan whined. Ryan also lied or showed that he knows nothing about nuclear weapons issues -- see my other post just above.

Having watched, I have to agree there. It was quite embarrassing really. It was also a bit cheeky of Ryan's cut to camera at the close of the debate, he should have been addressing the chairwoman (chairperson for the OTT PC)

Ahhh, you may have guessed my identity, you would have to read all my personal posts and especially my threads to have narrowed it down so perfectly.

Ryan embraces the extreme philosophy of Ayn Rand

So does Ron Paul. Unsuprising that it is a non-issue when the majority of ATS was supporting Paul, but a big issue when we come to discuss Ryan.

Ryan wants to raises taxes on the middle class, cut them for millionaires.

This was parroted by Biden in the debate. It was fact checked and found to be a false but common misconception, a lie perpetuated by the other side.

Ryan wants to end Medicare, replace it with a voucher system

I'd be more concerned about Obamacare putting hospitals into deficits.

Ryan thinks Social Security is a “ponzi scheme.”

Technically, it is.

Ryan’s budget would result in 4.1 million lost jobs in 2 years.

Depends who's study you read. There are studies that indicate 8 million new jobs.
