Found at Left Coast Rebel, who described it thus:
“This has got be hands down one of the funniest things I have ever seen:”
I wholeheartedly agree.
It was clear the Vice President Biden’s only preparation for the debate last night was to bone up on more lies and misdirection, that and possibly a bit of laughing gas.
As I said last night on twitter, Joe Biden is one heartbeat away from the Presidency. That alone should be enough motivation to vote for Romney and Ryan.
As it stands, I think Paul Ryan held his own while debating both Biden and the moderator.

Senator Rand Paul delivered arguments to put restrictions and conditions on monetary aid to foreign countries moments before the Senate voted to continue those same policies without any restrictions.
Brevard Times has more along with the vote tally:
Rubio, Nelson Vote For Foreign Aid To Libya, Pakistan, Egypt
Sen. Paul’s bill, S. 3576, called for a prohibition of U.S. aid funds to the governments of Egypt, Libya and Pakistan contingent upon the release to U.S. authorities the aggressors who attacked our embassy and consulate in Egypt and Libya, respectively, and the release of Dr. Shakil Afridi, currently held by the Pakistani government.
“In no way should the United States government be sending money to governments who are not our ally, who blatantly do not respect our country, and who work to compromise the safety of our allies and citizens abroad. I am pleased that the Senate leadership has listened to my pleas for an end to this and have agreed to debate and vote on this pressing issue,” Sen. Paul said.
Senators Bill Nelson (D-FL) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) both voted for continued foreign aid to those mid-east countries. The total U.S. foreign aid given to Pakistan, Libya and Egypt equals roughly $4 billion per year.
The corruption in the Republican Party can no longer be ignored. I recieved a message today and a link to the video evidence from Heidi Thiess concerning the Republican Rules Committee fight that occurred during the first days of the recent RNC convention:
Calling all Conservatives: watch this UPDATE ON REPUBLICAN FLOOR FIGHT. The real story is getting out. Please help spread the word. Have you seen this video of Boehner’s SCRIPTED response to the floor vote? Unfettered, incontrovertible corruption! Please help share his video everywhere because folks still don’t understand the impact of these changes nor the corruption that the RNC and top Republican officials engaged in to shove this down our throats.
The bottom line: these rules would have crushed Reagan in ’76 and if left unchanged mean we’ll never get a conservative choice (like a Reagan) again. We must fight back!
Watch the TelePrompter that PROVES corruption:
Thanks to Heidi and to Ben Swann for following this story.
