Tea Party Patriots react to the VP Debate
October 12, 2012 at 5:19 pm in News by Tea Party Patriots 8 Comments
After watching last night’s Vice Presidential debate, Tea Party Patriots National Coordinator Jenny Beth Martin released the following statement:
Tonight’s debate is a perfect example of the crisis we face. Our vice-president has shown he is an abusive political bully who belittles, mocks, ridicules and laughs at his opponent, the moderator, the viewers and anyone who questions this administration’s lack of leadership. Solutions require respect. These skills the vice president, and this administration, clearly lack.
It is time for leadership to take our country’s problems seriously and show us how America can be successful again with a strong economy, tackling our debt and deficit, national security, and foreign policy.
Jenny Beth is not the only Tea Partier who watched the debate, however. State and Local Coordinators across the country have also released statements about the debate. The statements showed just how one of the candidates showed more policy seriousness about the largest of the problems facing the nation:
“Overall Ryan has shown more knowledge and leadership. Biden has no solid answers, just funny faces and anger.” – Emery McClendon, Indiana Tea Party Coordinator.
“Last night Vice President Joe Biden touted the typical ‘war on women’ rhetoric, needing to protect a women’s right to ‘control their body.’ What I want are leaders who are more concerned about protecting my Constitution and my freedoms rather than my body (lady parts).” – Amy Brighton, Ohio Local Coordinator
Paul Ryan succeeded in what he needed to do by coming across as able to step into the presidency if the situation called for it, demonstrating a command of the issues which we all knew he had. Biden was still crazy Uncle Joe with his facial expressions, and he had no major gaffes. But we will all remember he says what he means and he means what he says – our taxes are going up by 1 trillion dollars.” – Ryan Rhodes, Iowa State Coordinator
“The debate showed the difference between a big-government spendaholic (Biden) and a man who actually wrote a budget that will balance (Ryan). Maybe that’s why Biden stooped to bombast, belittling, and demeaning. The debate was a great example of the distinctly different choices voters have in this election.” – Jim Bratten, Indiana State Coordinator
“Overall, this debate showcased the difference in attitude between those on the Left and the “rest of us”. They have no argument, no way to support their positions, so they belittle with bombast and demean others. Very good example of what distinctly different choices voters have in this election.” – Michael G. Hintze, Wisconsin State Coordinator
“As a mom of two school-age children, I can honestly say that had either one of them displayed such disrespectful and rude behavior to another human being, there would be serious repercussions. Apparently, Joe Biden was raised to believe that bullying is the appropriate behavior when unable to use reason.” – Marianne Gasiecki, Ohio State Coordinator
“I think an important leadership trait is maturity and in last night’s debate between the VP nominees, only Ryan showed the level adulthood we need in the White House”. – Gregg Cummings, Midwest Regional Coordinator
“American’s are hurting right now, and last night the Vice President showed America the same ‘let them eat cake’ attitude that has riddled this entire administration. America needs solutions, not a salesman.” – Shelby Blakely, Journalist Coordinator at Tea Party Patriots

————- Cut & Pasted from various Responses (October 12, 2012) ————-
1. “If a wise man has an argument with a fool, the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet.” –Proverbs 29:9
2. If you believe passionately in a stupid thing, it doesn’t mean you’re passionate…it means that you’re stupid!
3. “Happy Warrior?” So, that’s the new lib term for “mentally unbalanced” and “condescending,” is it? I love the way libs try to rename everything to soften the blow and make it sound so appealing and wholesome. Like labelling “murder” as “pro-choice,” “sodomy” as “normal,” “abomination” as “marriage,” or “Obama” as “savior,” “leader,” or even “qualified.”
4. VP Binden’s constant laughing and smirking, calls into question in my mind, his judgement and temperament to step into the office of President, in the event of a national emergency. His laughing during discussion of a world with a nuclear armed Iran, was alarming. He brought embarrassment onto his office by not only showing disrespect to Congressman Ryan, but to the millions of American viewers, to whom he presumably works for.
5. Biden made the argument for the [metaphorically] distressed Uncle to be left in the basement with the wedge of wood firmly shoved under the door, keeping him ensconced for his own good… “Mugsy” Joe Biden is part of the problem that needs to be excised 6 November 2012, the solution: Never vote for a democrat again — NEVER!!!
6. Would have been smart of Ryan to say at the end, “God forbid that a president ever die in office, but if it were to happen, who would you want leading the country – me or this guy who doesn’t seem to take anything seriously?”
7. I guess I am an Independant. I acknowledge there are good and bad points on both sides of the politcal spectrum. I was disapointed by the childish behavior of Vice President Biden in last nights debate. Is he answer to problems we face in the future.
8. If one of my kids grinned and laughed inappropriately for an hour and a half like Biden did, I’d be searching his room for drugs.

IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY POST? – Please Reply -
Mitt Romney’s first task when he becomes president should be to apologize to the British people for Obama’s embarrassing treatment and the disrespect he showed by boxing up and returning the bust of Winston Churchill that the British gave us after 9-11. What made Obama think that he had the right to send back a gift given to US citizens, it was not HIS to return. It will be a wonderful day when our country is given back to “we the people”.
Paul Ryan never answered the question of the plans for thier tax program to reduce the deficit. Do they not have one?
Also, Romney has not kept his worrd about releasing pertinent information. BTW, fr someone putting their millions in ff shore hlding so e wouldn’t have to pay American taxes is being a traitor to all of us who pay our share proudly. Romney is not a good American.
Sorry about spelling errors. My keyboard has it’s own life!
