Completely different than the outsider, ceremonial position you described.

Paul Ryan wrote the Republican Party budget, the budget that will destroy this nation with debt and end Medicare and Social Security as we know it.

Yah, don't waste your time on useless endeavors.

It's a shame our citizens are so uninformed.

It's lucky that Obama doesn't always take Biden's advice. If he did, Osama Bin Laden would still be alive. Biden was against the mission that killed Bin Laden.
