Joe the Revelator

What really happened here.....

....is the same thing that happened after Ryan's convention speech. During and right after that speech everyone was nervous that he was the game changer, and that his Leave It to Beaver charm was going to make us all yearn for the days of Sarah Palin. That lasted until around lunch the next day, until the narrative started to change into 'Geez, this guy is a huge liar", a charge that has stuck to him like honey on a biscuit.

The same narrative is starting to form around Romney, but its even stronger because its backed up by the older Ryan narrative, that these guys just make shit up. At least that's my take......


If nothing else, Obama's effectively lowered expectations for the next debate.

1. Obama is one day closer to his second term in office; and
2. My support for him is even stronger . . . I just donated to his campaign again.

Okay three . . . I distrust and dislike that other jackass even more!

This will help counter some of the claims and arguments we're going to hear over the next few days.
