Joe Biden for Veep!

[Gunner Carvo]

The more I read about this guy, the more he sounds like a total douche! I guess him and Obama are perfect for each other. I just hope they stay the hell out of the White House.

[SuperScout]

“[Barack] Obama represents the merger of two of the worst aspects of Democratic politics—’60s radicalism and corrupt Chicago machine politics. With the addition of Slow Joe Biden to the ticket, Obama has added to his unsteady candidacy an epic amount of Beltway cluelessness and arrogance unsupported by anything except frequent flier miles and Delaware’s love for a chuckle-headed fellow with a big smile... I was worried that the Dems had pointed out to Obama that his serial gaffing had brought the campaign close to a break point and that he needed Hillary. I was worried he’d actually go find Anthony Zinni or Sam Nunn or someone of accomplishment and purposefulness in foreign affairs. [Jim] Webb would have been hell on the stump. [Tim] Kaine or [Evan] Bayh would have put different states into play. [Kathleen] Sebelius was a wild card. But Biden?... Put Biden’s obvious flaws aside and ask yourself how in the world Obama decided to go with Biden, and you’ll quickly realize that the Democratic nominee must have been impressed with Biden on the long campaign trail of 2007 and 2008—even though voters weren’t and even though Biden has no accomplishments of note after 36 years in the Senate. Biden talked a great game and dropped some very interesting place names—and this impressed Obama. Talking the talk has been the key to Obama’s success, and in Slow Joe he found an older, far better traveled but equally prolix gas bag... For Obama, it is all about politics and words, elections and poses. Slow Joe is the perfect running mate on a perfect ticket for a party betting on wind to solve the energy crisis.” —Hugh Hewitt

here's some of what you'll be defending: ( Hey conservative women! be sure to check that last one where he calls Cindy a "cunt.")Interesting way of speaking to your loved ones you conservatives have.

I resent being told to check out something that was written by a liberal attack dog in his liberal attack book and dismissed as a lie a long time ago.

Yes, I've known about this for a long time and while I don't agree with everything McCain believes (global warming, immigration), that won't stop me from voting for him in November.

By the way, I think his wife is amazing!

[reconeil]

If your or my wife once inherited about 100 MILLION$ (no doubt actually much more by now)
like McCain's wife did, we would probably even own more houses than that most extremely
Honorable of Honorable Veterans does, plus maybe a couple of yachts each to-boot.
Don't you think?

Also, screw anybody that would begrudge patriots such or even finally winning some lottery.

[SuperScout]

Some people on this thread will not only believe any lie that advances their cause, they'll invent lies to disparage others. Like exlrrp inventing the lie that I willingly and knowingly sent Democrats and liberals to their deaths in Vietnam. He is a liar, he has no honor. Believe him at your own peril.

[darrels joy]

What in the world would ever make you think that I would believe anything that he wrote?

We have been here for far to long and at the history channel site before that to believe him.

Besides, he attacks because he can't effectively defend.

[SuperScout]

Obviously, you're way too smart to fall for his lies! But we knew that, didn't we? I just like to point out his duplicitous nature for al the world to see.
