WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP) — Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan is coming back to his home state of Wisconsin for a campaign appearance.

Ryan is scheduled to appear Monday at a town hall at Carroll University in Waukesha. Doors open at 7 a.m. at Van Male Field House, and the program begins at 8 a.m.

Ryan’s appearance follows Vice President Joe Biden’s scheduled trip to the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Friday.

Biden and Ryan are squaring off in the only vice presidential debate of the campaign Thursday night in Kentucky.

Here is a link to a video of Ryan doing what he does best; making fun of an elderly man who is concerned about his Social Security and Medicare. This is while Ryan is giving a canned, rehearsed speech full of lies about Social Security and Medicare being "entitlements"

About a third of the way down the page is the video.

I've heard people say Biden was disrespectful to Ryan, but we know this is a distraction. But let's assume, for the sake of conversation, that what they say is accurate. What has Ryan done to earn respect? His repeated and inaccurate characterizations of his and Romney's positions (which admittedly change so rapidly I feel sorry for Ryan having to try to keep up-to-date with them) is tantamount to being a pathological liar and I frankly don't think Ryan earned the respect his supporters think he deserves. You earn respect, it's not granted, and Ryan did little last night to earn the respect of anyone.

My favorite part is when they turned to the religion/abortion phoniness. Hopefully most of you guys realize that both were full of the crapola. Ryan stops to put on his best altar boy face. Biden's somber tone.

When will people realize that the abortion wedge issue is just a ploy? And hey, I'm anti-abortion (not that it means a hill of beans.)

The moderator was a dope for putting so much time on an irrelevant topic.

TOOOO Funnny---lol RE: comment by WISLADY - Biden told the truth and made Ryan look as if he was the proverbial deer in the headlights - except - it was a semi steering his way. Especially in the area of foreign policy & economy Ryan was lacking and appeared scared.

I agree, the only time Joe wasn't smiling was when Joe was lying...

The debate was a laughable event,both were ok and both were bad,and both were caught in a trap. We will see ! I will say that Biden's laughing and smirks were disgusting,and will hurt their race.
