Vice Presidents Campaigning

The two vice presidential candidates have begun their solo campaigning, and it was straight to the differences.

Vice President Biden began in Virginia by telling voters that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan want to "put y'all back in chains".

Bringing in class warfare, the supposed "war on women", and pointing out the pro life beliefs of Romney and Ryan as being attacks upon freedom, rather than being in defense of life.

Meanwhile, in Lakewood, Colorado, Congressman Ryan focused on how he and Governor Romney want to rebuild America, instead of remaking it, "We're not going to replace our founding principles, we're going to reapply them."

Ryan spent the first part of his speech promising to make the US no longer energy dependent on other nations, declaring that "We will approve the Keystone pipeline." and pointing out that "Obama has done everything he can to make it harder to use our own energy."

He then moved to talking about the national debt "Obama promised to cut the deficit in half in four years." stating that "We need to leave our children a debt free nation." The Congressman concluded that "We can turn our country around. It's not too late to turn it around. We can put America back on the right track."

It really was striking, the differences between the two. Biden's entire focus was on disinformation and division, showing the weaknesses of the Obama platform, which has nothing to stand on. Whereas, Ryan's message was one of uniting the country, so that it can re energize and profit once again.

Both candidates did have a slight blunder in their speeches. Biden couldn't actually even remember which state he was in, saying he was in North Carolina, instead of Virginia. Whilst Ryan accidentally misspoke Obama's 2008 campaign slogan saying, "We've gone from hope and blame, excuse me hope and change." which truly only fit reality.
