On Thursday, Oct. 11th,
2012, on The TexasFred Blog, in a post titled, “My Take on the Joe Biden– Paul Ryan Vice Presidential Debate” TexasFred says that, “Joe
Biden was argumentative, rude, he interrupted, he was a disruptive force and he
had an ally in Martha Raddatz.” And TexasFred states that, “Joe is just being
Joe.” TexasFred says the reason Biden plays the joker and acts clownish with
his body and facial expressions is because Joe has no credible response to any
of the questions given to him, which does nothing to gain anybody’s confidence
in him, should he one day become our President. Additionally, TexasFred
believes that Biden has an ally in the moderator, Martha Raddatz. Not only is
Ryan debating Biden, but Raddatz as well saying, “When Ryan was making a
telling point Raddatz would interrupt, question Ryan herself, actually
challenge him or change the topic and move back to Biden."
According to TexasFred, Ryan did a good job, but he kept letting Biden talk over him, saying,“Paul Ryan was trying very hard to use facts and figures but he was allowing Joe Biden to interrupt.” And, TexasFred thinks Ryan is too nice, because he allows the interruptions and challenges, even from Martha Raddatz. He credits Ryan for being professional, and for not getting into any heated arguments with Biden. Above all, TexasFred applauds Ryan’s performance, and while he doesn’t believe Ryan helped Romney that much, he feels that Biden hurt Obama.
TexasFred’s intended audience is his conservative followers. Perception is the key here, and one’s perception of which candidate won this debate depends on their party alignment. Democrats recognize Biden’s buffoonish behavior, but they like it and expect it from him (“Joe being Joe”). Republicans, such as TexasFred, also recognize Biden’s buffoonery, but they criticize him for being a Joker when the country is in such serious trouble. I watched the debate, and I believe that TexasFred’s assessment is spot on and credible. I don’t think one has to be a republican to recognize that while Ryan is professional in his presentation and knowledgeable with his facts; Biden acts like he is better suited to be making balloon animals at a kid’s birthday party. And, although Ryan allows Biden to talk over him, it could be Biden’s inferior intelligence revealing itself, as compared to Ryan’s. Biden is like the bully who is having an argument with someone smarter than him, and just can’t seem to think of the right words to say, so he resorts to telling his opponent where to shove something, or simply punches him. Perhaps the saying, “In a Battle of Wits, You’re an Unarmed Man”, applies to Joe Biden in situations like this.
