he accepts his churches judgement that life begins at conception but refuses to impose that on everyone.

He doesn't think that women should be told how they control their bodies, sides with the supreme court.

The nest president will get 1 or 2 supreme court nominees according to joe biden.

Ryan's water got refilled. Maybe he has multiple cups.

Just said that Romney would select someone from the far right...Ryan didn't get a chance to respond...he really needed to bring up the far left Sotomayer, and Keagan.

How magnanimous. He stands against freedom of speech, firearms ownership, freedom of choice in healthcare and education, and he stands against many other freedoms.

This is pissing me off- Biden doesn't know dick or shit about Afghanistan (I had to pause to cook dinner so I'm about 10min behind). He's never been to the REAL Afghanistan. The ANA and ANP (Afghan army and police) get paid IIRC (and this is as of 2009) $5/wk which is about the equivalent of someone making $40K/yr here, when AQ, the Taliban, The Haqqani Network (who we had on our radar since 2006 as an Anti-Coalition/Anti-Afghan Force aka Terrorists- but only this year Hillary the Dipshit declared them a terrorist group), etc. offer them $10/wk to kill Americans, they take the better paying deal. Afghans are just poor people- they're looking out for #1, them and their family. But they are also about the most lazy folks I've ever had the privilege of meeting and working with (anyone remember what I said last week about "Enshallah"?). I don't think this is a quick-fix type of situation where we can just pull out in 2014... It has to be conditional or the situation will deteriorate to a worse spot than it was in in the 1990's... They'll be bolstered because they'll be 2-0 against superpowers.
