I also enjoyed that exchange during the vice presidential debate regarding Paul Ryan taking stimulus money. It's amazing to me that people can decree something as horrendous and at the same time take advantage of it. I believe there is a word for this and it is hypocrisy.

He wanted to have his cake and eat it too -- attacking the stimulus because it was politically advantageous for him to do so, while also benefiting from the relief that the stimulus provided.

I think he may have been suffering from Romnesia. You plan on watching the debate tonight?

Yep. Amazing how influential they've been so close to the election!

What'd ya think? I call it essentially a draw. Not much to see here folks...

Going to be a close one scarp. If either of them didn't personally knock on your door in the next couple of weeks and you live in Ohio, you should take personal offense.
