Come on, let's get real. It's questioning whether those deportations made sense and asking a vice president to explain his role in it. Do you think these questions will not come up later?" de Blasio said. "I was challenging Biden because I want to hear him say, 'Here's what I did,' 'Here's what I stand for,' because whoever is going to be the Democratic nominee has to be able to do that."

**** THIS AND THAT LIES MADE PAUL RYAN LOSE  Bitching By: James Edstrom **** Lair Paul Ryan Experience and truths made Joe Biden the winner in the Vice Presidential debate the other night. As I watch the clips like everyone else, over and over again, you can see that Paul Ryan has no answers and Joe Biden had the truth. When Paul Ryan was pushed on so many things, he could not answer. He would only say we will do this and that and could not tell us how.  The media is still talking about Joe Biden laughing and interrupting, but so much of what Paul Ryan said was just plain laughable. He has no answers and his running mate Mitt Romney has none either. If I was debating Paul Ryan, I would have acted just like Joe Biden. He is a Republican punk who has no idea what the truth is and is blindly following the Republican party. Paul Ryan like Mitt Romney is just a lair, plain and simple and Joe Biden took the punk out. The reason Joe Bi...
