Vice-Presidential Debate

Last week, I watched the vice-presidential debate. It's very difficult to be unbiased because not only am I a Republican, but also I am from Wisconsin, Paul Ryan's homestate. Saturday Night Live parodied the event, which I knew it would. Paul Ryan's widow's peak seemed so much more pronounced than I had remembered it to be, and clearly, SNL picked up on that fact. I felt that Vice President Biden showed blatant disrespect for Congressman Ryan by continuously laughing, smiling, and interrupting while Ryan spoke. I thought that Congressman Ryan performed well, especially since this was his first debate in such a capacity. As a Christian, I was offended by Biden's response regarding abortion. How can one consider oneself a Catholic and still support abortion? I do not envy any individual who puts himself or herself into the public arena. I would never subject myself to such scrutiny.
