Romney Ryan Position News Today

Have been absolutist on that. i heard joe biden say last night, look, were willing to -- i heard him say, were willing to consider these other ideas just like we cut a trillion dollars in spending last year, but its time to come to the table. when your position is not one more penny. >> thats a separate issue altogether. were talking about social security. and were talking about the fiscal reality of whats going to happen not that many years down the road. so it seems to me the country does dese...

>> because joe biden did what president obama should have done which was to look into the camera and look at me, im a democrat. all right? ive been in the senate for years. were the democratic party. we believe in medicare. we believe in social insurance. do you trust me or do you trust this 40-something-kid who comes from the world of conservative think tanks scheming to get rid of the program since its beginning and inception? who do you trust? that was just the simple question. he said, look ...

For joining us. i will just say it is not a sign of strength for the republican side to come out after the debate and say, listen, the unemployment number is rigged. i realize the republicans have decided that they dont want the unemployment rate to be below 8%, so theyre going to say it secretly isnt. thats not a way you telegraph you think you won this debate. >> i was just going to say in politics theres no bad questions, only bad answers. there you had a clinic on a bunch of bad answers. if ...

Position, then you should proudly articulate that position, not dance around it. >> right. can i also say, its fascinating to me how the congresswoman responded to the question of abortion, which is an interaction ive been having with conservatives a lot. when i bring that up, i get accused of changing the topic, or why are you liberals so obsessed with abortion. its a strange "through the looking glass" experience. weve been fighting the abortion wars in this country going back to the 1970s. th...

He doesnt understand any of it. i find it terrifying. >> i think that he absolutely blew it in terms of afghanistan. i think even when he said marines in benghazi, when marines are at embassies. and, i mean, he also bent the truth. hes not at the level of liar as romney. hes a fibber. growing to be a liar. romneys an accomplished liar. but i think that clearly mr. biden gave facts. there was nothing they could refute. and i think he was fiery and to the point. i think ryan held his right wing po...

You think you won this debate. >> i was just going to say in politics theres no bad questions, only bad answers. there you had a clinic on a bunch of bad answers. if you are going to be pro life, a morally serious position, what paul ryan said, an answer to chris question is this. he believes that roe v. wade was wrongly decided. the judges should not have decided that position. that position should rest with the states. that was what paul ryans position is. if thats going to be the position, wh...

American forces doing it, that is a position that overwhelmingly people in this country agree with. and there were several minutes spent advocating for a position that the american people dont agree with on that. so that was his weakest moment in my view in the debate but i thought he was effective from a presentation perspective, from a conservative prospective on the tax arguments. i would disagree with chris on that. and i just think, though, when you look at this debate, i think this is one ...

Afghanistan. i dont disagree with that at all. the point is the position the vice president was arguing which is we want to have afghan forces doing that, we want less american forces doing it, that is a position that overwhelmingly people in this country agree with. and there were several minutes spent advocating for a position that the american people dont agree with on that. so that was his weakest moment in my view in the debate but i thought he was effective from a presentation perspective,...

Notebook when were going to teach them in class. >> i thought the place he really did do damage on the domestic policy was medicare. >> why? >> because joe biden did what president obama should have done which was to look into the camera and look at me, im a democrat. all right? ive been in the senate for years. were the democratic party. we believe in medicare. we believe in social insurance. do you trust me or do you trust this 40-something-kid who comes from the world of conservative think ta...

I think whether it was about war, whether it was about taxes, believing we need to really -- the wealthiest in this country need to pay a higher share so we can get middle class tax release. it was very clear to me. i think thats what the voters will have heard tonight. >> i want to go back to the abortion issue one more time. there was another distinction i think came up. mitt romney now says that he would favor some kind of exception for -- in terms of abortion policy when it comes to rape or ...
