1. Seriously?

Words fail.

[Surya Gayatri]

5. Word for word! Bwaahaaaa!

[Arkansas Granny]

2. He didn't really say that, did he? Tell me he didn't really say that. Please!

[Surya Gayatri]

6. Hand on my heart! I LOLed!

19. Romney & Ryan swipe Abe Lincoln quotation

"Better angels of our nature"... Romney used this phrase a few weeks ago without giving credit to its author. Then Ryan doubled down and used it again. They're betting on us all to assume they invented it. When they quote Abe Lincoln, they should give him credit for the phrase. I've been hoping someone like Rachel Maddow, Lawrence, Sharpton, etc. would catch him on it.

21. I'd love to see that. Maybe you should email them.

3. What the hell does THAT mean?

[Surya Gayatri]

7. I posted the quote in hopes that somebody could tell me!

[Justice wanted]

4. .....

It still isn't helping.

[Surya Gayatri]

8. A combination of nausea and hilarity!

[MoonRiver]

10. You beat me to it!

DITTO

9. I believe a more apt description is

a devil in disguise. Watching him (have the sound turned down, can't listen to this swill), he looks like the proverbial cat that ate the canary...feel entitled there do you, Paul?

Disgusting human being...both of them.

[Surya Gayatri]

11. Oh, CD, you should turn the sound up...

this is truly one of the lamest political rallies I've ever seen. You have to hear the faux insincerity in the voices to appreciate the full effect!

12. Paul Ryan LOVES Ayn Rand. And LIED About It.

Paul Ryan LOVES Ayn Rand. And LIED About It.

<...>

So, not only is Paul Ryan a devotee of Ayn Rand, he’s also a bald-faced liar.

16. This guy's a moving target and I'm sure

the O campaign has got him in their sights as we speak...

[Marrah_G]

13. what the heck does that even mean?

[Surya Gayatri]

14. Well, I mean, he just makes us all

want to be better people, don't cha know?

Or NOT...

15. Rmoney has far more demons than even we imagined? n/t

17. Angelic.....

Whatever happened to the "Hockey Mom?" Now we have better angels? So being an angel is overrated? A good angel is lesser than a better angel? Ryan states...We've got to save the country." Is that what Joe Biden has been trying to do? Oh my...I must have gotten his message wrong. I thought he was elected because they needed someone to call Vice President.

18. Maybe in opposite world.

In the real world, Eddie Munster appeals to the darkest parts of hate, fear, greed, and cruelty.

22. Just another theft in a long life of thieving--

people's jobs, companies' treasuries, etc. etc. etc.
