Liberal Group Mocks Paul Ryan for…Sipping Water (22 Times!) During Debate?
Conservatives had a field day mocking Vice President Joe Biden for his incessant smiling, laughing and interrupting during Thursday night’s debate. Biden’s demeanor, perceived as rude and domineering by some, spawned viral YouTube videos and political attack ads. In fact, the issue pretty much overshadowed every other aspect of the debate.
In response, the liberal group Americans United for Change brainstormed about how they could go about mocking Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan’s debate performance. Apparently, the best they could come up with is that Ryan was really thirsty on Thursday.
“In last night’s debate, Vice President Biden brought the facts… and Paul Ryan brought a #sippycup,” the text in the video reads as goofy-sounding music plays in the background.
The video goes on to count every time that Ryan takes a sip of water. Americans United for Change counted 22 times.
It is unclear how, or if, Ryan will recover from this revelation — that even Paul “p90x” Ryan gets thirsty.
On Friday, MSNBC guest Bill McGowan suggested that Ryan’s water sipping may be a “tell,” insinuating the Republican drank water every time he wasn’t being completely honest.

Posted on October 13, 2012 at 1:04pmJoe didn’t drink his water because he prefers something stronger. I’m sure Paul was thirsty after listening to all that BS.. He wanted to wash that guy right out of his throat. When nothing more important is going on but a bunch of crap, I notice I keep sipping a drink constantly too.

Posted on October 13, 2012 at 3:00pmWhen you consider that many, if not most, of our educational institutions are heavily populated with Democrat propagandists at the teacher’s podiums, and that most Democrats believe Biden gave an erudite performance, it’s no wonder so many students coming out of those educational institutions are having big problems performing credibly in America’s work force.
The dumbed down main stream media is the premiere product of our dumbed down Marxist educational institutions, which are committed to dumbing down the next generation of Americans as shown in Marxist Valley College at Youtube. http://tinyurl.com/44btbq8

Posted on October 14, 2012 at 3:19pmIT wasn’t true. Just another failed attempt to try to tear down RYAN. I saw him take ONE sip.. even
Martha Raddatz (moderator) said: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/even-martha-raddatz-thinks-joe-bidens-performance-was-too-big/ that she didn’t see him taking sips of water…when interviewed by her liberal buddies…she did say that BIDDEN was (my words: ) Over the top.
The difference between a Liberal and a Conservative is LYING. I don’t know if it’s the immaturity level of their conscience; I don’t know what it is, but Conservatives don’t tear up other people’s property; they don’t tell lies to make their point or make up facts. It’s just not in the nature of a person who would be “conservative”.

Posted on October 12, 2012 at 11:17pmBiden was clearly bizarre, sometimes manic, and had an inappropriate affect during the debate. Further, he lied all the way through.
Ryan knew what he was talking about, understood the debate topics and spoke intelligently.
Of course the lefties are going to ridicule Ryan. That’s all they got and that’s what they use when they can’t defend their VP.
Instead of ridiculing Ryan, the lefties may want to get Biden some serious help with whatever disorder he has.

Take a look at Ryan’s left cheek, the swallow and the shoulder movements.
I watched the whole debate twice and Ryan only drank once.

Posted on October 13, 2012 at 2:55am@ THE_MONK !! You’re right!!! I watched it also and I only recall RYAN taking a SIP OF WATER ONCE !!! Bloody Liberal freaks!!
YOU GUYS ARE GREAT!!! “RYAN playing the drinking game everytime Biden lied”…I agree thathe’d need several gallons. I also agree that it was better to take a sip than cold-cocking that sleazy, sickening, makes-my-skin-crawl male wanna-be: Joe Biden. Tantarous said on THE FIVE today that all of us have had to deal with oppressive, stinky, bullies like BIDEN… I can’t think of one good thing to say about this man. I feel so sorry for his wife who is uber Classes above him. I feel sorry for his staff and folks…THIS MAN IS NOT RIGHT in the HEAD. What he did and the way he acted was NOT NORMAL.
SO go on creepy liberals… try to make something out of CONGRESSMAN PAUL RYAN’S taking sips of water…instead of worrying about WHY OUR AMBASSADOR was MURDERED and DRUG through the streets along with 3 other PATRIOTS. WORRY about CONGRESSMAN PAUL RYAN’S taking sips of water…instead of worrying about our PRESIDENT thinking he and the lousy SEC of STATE along with this dip-s. Vice President..thinking they can lie to us about everything….and we will just

Posted on October 13, 2012 at 1:45pm@Wango, would you mind doing me a favor? The next time you’re eating with a family member, or possibly more, do you think you could keep track of how many times they use a utensil to eat, and how many drinks they take? And perhaps you could do that with yourself, I want to get a good hold on your character and things like that are obvious things that decide things on matters.
In all seriousness though… “manifestly false”? Wango, please reread your post and tell me how that is the deciding factor that PATTY HENRY doesn’t know what she’s talking about? When was the last time you kept track of how many times someone did something like take a sip of water during a conversation. Maybe she was more interested in what Ryan and Biden had to say in the VICE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE (or distracted by Biden’s creepy grin and laughing *shivers*) that she didn’t think that Ryan’s fluid intake was the main issue of the night?
With all due respect, how can you possibly see this as even remotely relevant to ANYTHING. AT ALL! This is on of the pettiest things I’ve heard people complain about, let alone criticize someone for. I want to hear it from you: What does this have to do with the presidency or the vice presidential debate?

Posted on October 13, 2012 at 6:46pmThanks Monk, sorry I missed that. And believe me, I started my account recently, but I’ve been reading The Blaze for a while seen what an “endearing” person Wango can be. While I am shocked, this shows the extent of the damage Obama’s allies can do to the Romney and Ryan campaign when it comes to credible facts (though it says a lot when they’re even lying about the number of times someone takes a drink. At this point, I’m sticking with The Blaze and Newsmax for my news, along with a few other sites).
…But seriously, I hope the people who actually think they’re getting some sort of view on Ryan’s character get help. Maybe the shock of their President getting elected out of office will send them into reality with the rest of us.

Personally, I am surprised Ryan didn’t have an IV with a nine gauge needle and a funnel to keep up with the old drunk on a bar stool next to him pretending to be the vice president.
Biden actually gave bottles of liquor to people attending (its a fact, one of the few involving Biden that evening).

1. The Obama administration “did not know” the Libyan embassy had requested additional security prior to the terrorist attack that killed four Americans.
2. Ryan and House Republicans “cut” embassy security by $300 million.
3. The Obama administration has “decimated” al Qaeda.
4. Obama doesn’t want to raise taxes on families and small businesses earning less than $1 million a year.
5. Syria is five times the size of Libya.
6. Obama has ordered all American troops out of Afghanistan by 2014.
7. The federal government is not forcing Catholic institutions to cover contraception.
8. Biden voted against the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
