Actually if you look at the Romney/Ryan medicare plan, what it does is limit growth to inflation plus population growth. Since that's lower than GDP growth, the medicare budget will fall as a percent of GDP. The trick is leaving coverage at today's levels, and not including more expensive treatments that are developed in the future.

He is kicking ass!
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

Can we get Biden to stand in for Obama in the next two debates?

Really?

Biden and his way of talking, not the content, make me think of McCain.

This is the first time that I've seen Ryan. Very unimpressed.

I could only stand about 10 minutes. It was about which foreigners we want to give fire sticks to, Kofi Annan and Russia.

They did talk quite a bit about domestic issues. I think it was a great debate!

Some woman posted a comment on Maher's page about how she's an undecided and this debate made her decide not to vote for Obama. Ridiculous. She was probably already going to vote for Romney. Undecideds are a joke.
