(3 posts)"Better angels of our nature"... Romney used this phrase a few weeks ago without giving credit to its author. Then Ryan doubled down and used it again. They're betting on us all to assume they invented it. When they quote Abe Lincoln, they should give him credit for the phrase. I've been hoping someone like Rachel Maddow, Lawrence, Sharpton, etc. would catch him on it.

(15,445 posts)this is truly one of the lamest political rallies I've ever seen. You have to hear the faux insincerity in the voices to appreciate the full effect!

(3 posts)Whatever happened to the "Hockey Mom?" Now we have better angels? So being an angel is overrated? A good angel is lesser than a better angel? Ryan states...We've got to save the country." Is that what Joe Biden has been trying to do? Oh my...I must have gotten his message wrong. I thought he was elected because they needed someone to call Vice President.
