The debate last night finally brought the focus back to the issues, the positions and the policies of the two candidates. Biden scolded Ryan using his own history of voting. Biden pistol whipped him on his lack of specifics and threw back the empty rhetoric that the right wing considers enlightened reasoning. Biden did what many of us to here every day, he treated the opposition with contempt and finally broke the back of a decades long liberal tendency towards not getting in the Fray and playing hardball. Viewers of this monumental ass whooping will fall into four basic camps.
The first are the true blue conservatives who would refute basic math if told to do so by their misbegotten leaders and pundits. These people are not even remotely interested in the facts. They only care about their own facts which are made up to suit their agenda. In the world of the true believer, faith trumps reason, passion over rules deliberation and winning is everything. Power is the only goal for this voting block has one central common fear; they are losing control of America and they cannot stand it. None of these people will be swayed by Biden.
The second set are the lefties who have been waiting for Obama to take the gloves off and kick the shit out of the right wingers since the day he took office. We thought that was who we elected. Obama refused to believe that the right wing is not even remotely interested in helping him or any liberal solve big problems. I hope Obama has finally decided to abandon the nice guy approach and go for the jugular. Joe showed him how it is done. To us lefties, last night was an epiphany. God bless Joe Biden.
The next set are the undecideds. How anyone could be undecided at this point is beyond me. However, there are still many who are undecided. If they paid attention to detail, they have to see that Ryan was completely full of shit. If they vote on superficial traits, they might not like the fact that Biden showed conservatives absolutely no respect at all. How they take the next two debates will be interesting.
And lastly, we have the apathetic. If any young woman out there paid attention to the abortion questions and answers and still votes for Romney, they are hopelessly unaware of how much power they want to assume over the lives of women. If any young man thinks war mongering is a great idea, enlist now and get your video game kicks for real. Just don't come back later if Romney wins and you are sitting in a hole approaching Damascus or Tehran wondering how the hell you got there.
Biden finally took them to the woodshed. The reactions on Fox were classic. Not a single one of those pundits admitted that their ideology has more holes in it than a worm eaten corpse. To consider that the entire body of political achievements over the last 30 years by conservatives is actually a legacy of errors and lies would be like having a conversion moment for a devout Christian that creates a new atheist. The right wing is dying. It will have to change to survive the next generation.
