The Joe Biden presidential campaign, 2008 ended after a finishing fifth place, with 0.9%, in the Iowa Caucus, about 7000 votes total.
Hillary Clinton got 18,046,007 votes (versus 17,869,542 for obama) and 47.9% of the democratic party's total vote (versus 47.4% for Obama) before the DNC took Michigan away and gave delegates to Obama.
Yet this fool chose that has-been.
It's a boring pick made by a man afraid. Afraid his cover will be completely blown. Afraid of being out shone by a ballsy pick, like Nunn or Clinton. It also says something about his ego. He did not pick someone who can bring electoral clout to the table. This is not an oversight - it's simply a belief he doesn't need any help convincing people. Axlerod's refrain before every state Obama lost was 'we just don't have enough time to turn it around in...' As if more Barry always wins elections. The opposite is true. Axlerod knows this. But political operatives are professional sycophants so he had to say it.
It does seem to me BHO has lost the South. Probably would have happened anyway. Still, this choice does not help. The effete Black Yankee chose an effete White Yankee. Both these men are prone to using words to masturbate. The idea of four years of these two yapping is not enticing. The one blessing of Bush/Cheney has been that one avoids talking much because he doesn't speak English and no one knows where the other is half the time.
Obama's self reverential need to make a massive event of everything is now officially tiresome. He could have gone to Europe and just met leaders - but no - the Lightbringer had to host a concert to boot. The hullabaloo surrounding the 'announcement' warranted at least 3 eyerolls from me this week. And all the media frenzy was for who??? Joe Biden? Yawn.
As for the 'ticket should be inverted' meme. Nonsense. Obama is not worthy of the vice presidency either.
Another unbiased article you posted here??? NOT this smuck has actually worked as a speech writer for George W. Bush and nows works at the National Review.
Keep up the bias, it makes you look like a fool.
'Another unbiased article you posted here???'
When you can't rebut the content attack the author, Eh?
The only thing that can be disputed is the truth. The entire article is biased and only half true. No need to rebut, people who read it and know the truth dismiss it as your typical clap-trap.
'Jay Nordlinger'
Right wing neo-con who wrote speeches for George W. Bush, and works at the National Review---nuff said to point out the bias part.
'I am quite surprised — nearly shocked — at the pick of Biden. I believe Obama has made an error — not just hope so, believe. And he had so many good options for the veep slot (unlike John McCain). He could have gone Kaine, Bayh, Sebelius, Boren, Edwards (Chet) — he had many good options. It was practically impossible to screw up.'
Totally his opinion---impossible to refute opinions idiot!
'I never thought that Biden was a decent option. James J. Kilpatrick used to call Howard Metzenbaum “Senator Obnoxious.” (He would write, “Senator Obnoxious (D., Ohio).”) Biden is another Senator Obnoxious — boastful, boorish, self-loving. The file on Biden is very thick.'
Again his opinion---right wing talking points. Turn Rush on tomorrow you will hear the same thing, turn Hannity on tomorrow you will hear the same thing. This is about a man born to nothing, raised his family and has more experience than McSame.
'Pat Caddell, back when he was a golden-boy political handler, loved Biden — thought he could make him president. Biden always looked good on paper — but then got in his own way.'
Kind of like McSame? How many times has McSame shot himself in the foot by saying one thing and then doing another, supporting GWB on most everything then changing his mind? Again right wing talking points.
'I believe that Barack Obama will not wear well. Indeed, I think his act has been wearing thin for weeks. And I think that his vice-presidential nominee will wear even worse. I’m not sure why he went with Biden — maybe he likes him, personally, which is not the worst thing in the world. It’s helpful if a president likes his vice president (or at least doesn’t dislike him). But I don’t see what Biden gains him. Biden is a slightly risible figure, what with his hair plugs (or whatever) and his many, many examples of public obnoxiousness.'
From the mouth of a GWB speech writer, what does one expect? This ticket will 'wear' well enough to win in November.
'All politicians have sizable egos, but this may be the most self-loving ticket ever. There’s an old saying, “He’ll die in his own arms” — that can apply to both of them. (I’ve thought of it in connection with McCain, too.) And Obama and Biden are two of the gassiest politicians in all the land — they are rhetorically impossible.'
All from the support of the party that cannot keep track of their houses? McSame is not going to stand up well at all when put side by side with a man 25 years his Junior.
'The verbiage ticket, this is, and the arrogance ticket, and the emptiness ticket. McCain and his running-mate-to-be should really take them. Don’t you think?'
No I 'don't think'. I really hope he picks Lieberman or Ridge, then we will see how his base votes. If he picks Romney he may have a change to get close, but he is still going to loose!
'nuff said to point out the bias part.'
And you are an idiotic, spoiled, moonbat, parasite; What's your point?
'Totally his opinion---impossible to refute opinions idiot!'
Not true but if that is the case, why don't you shut the hell up?
'Again his opinion-'
Again, then shut the hell up.
'right wing talking points. Turn Rush on tomorrow you will hear the same thing, '
Everyone from MSNBC to Pravda thinks hair plugs is an 'Obnoxious — boastful, boorish, self-loving' douche bag. Ill bet his mother thinks he is an Obnoxious — boastful, boorish, self-loving douche bag.
'Kind of like McSame?'
McCain is running on a platform of steady, intelligent, proven leadership that will change the direction of the country and get us back on the right track without losing what is good about the USA in the process.
O'Bambi is running on HoPe 'N ChAnGe(tm)! Ix-nay on the specifics.
Well, nothing says 'change' like Joseph frigging Biden right? I mean a bazillion year old liberal cracker that needs a muzzle from a tiny a state and has spent his ENTIRE career inside the beltway sure does spell out 'change' don't it? C-H-A-N-G-E... Was Robert Byrd busy or something? All that is left is hope, and in another month all that will be left is prayer. :-D
' This ticket will 'wear' well enough to win in November.'
He has already jumped the shark. Obama is a fad. He is the political equivalent of Disco. Oh sure, there are still people who wear white Cuban heel platform shoes and matching belts with a polyester leisure suit... But they are looked upon as being out of touch. You are looking more and more like a refugee from 'dance fever' every day to the cool folk.
'All from the support of the party that cannot keep track of their houses?'
Hey, it is tougher then keeping track of how many states there are in the union or who you stole your speech from.
'McSame is not going to stand up well at all when put side by side with a man 25 years his Junior.'
McCain wiped the floor with him in their last appearance. That is why Obama is afraid to do the town meetings and limited the amount of debates after he said there would be more. Barry really is a coward.
' I really hope he picks Lieberman or Ridge, then we will see how his base votes.'
After Saddleback, a lot of people got their mind right. The whole, 'killing live babies' bill that Obama voted for disgusted even the pro choice republicans. And your base? You still have to try to corral all the furious soccer moms who can't afford to fill up the tank and are justifiably disgusted at the way Hillary Clinton has been treated by the DNC. Sort of like herding wet, pissed off cats.

Oh, by the way, McCain knows that Eau Claire, Wisconsin isn't a state.

'And you are an idiotic, spoiled, moonbat, parasite; What's your point?'
I guess you mime people all the time? Your projections are showing through.
'Not true but if that is the case, why don't you shut the hell up? '
You really need to make your mind up you brain dead half witted joke of a human being. Refuting a lie is only perpetuation that lie and only people with morals as low as you would do such a thing.
'Again, then shut the hell up.'
FOAD!
'Everyone from MSNBC to Pravda thinks hair plugs is an 'Obnoxious — boastful, boorish, self-loving' douche bag. Ill bet his mother thinks he is an Obnoxious — boastful, boorish, self-loving douche bag.'
And when were you hired by MSNBC and Pravda (like they would have a scumball like you represent them)? It makes all the sense in the world that you would not like his hair, hair or skin color is all that you look at, bigot!
'McCain is running on a platform of steady, intelligent, proven leadership that will change the direction of the country and get us back on the right track without losing what is good about the USA in the process. '
Dream on you stupid sh*t. He has neither the ability nor the background to do any of this. He is part of the problem idiot, he voted with Bush 95% of the time. One of your more stupid comments (and there have been a bunch).
'O'Bambi is running on HoPe 'N ChAnGe(tm)! Ix-nay on the specifics.'
I knew you were 12 years old. What an idiot.
'Well, nothing says 'change' like Joseph frigging Biden right? I mean a bazillion year old liberal cracker that needs a muzzle from a tiny a state and has spent his ENTIRE career inside the beltway sure does spell out 'change' don't it? C-H-A-N-G-E... Was Robert Byrd busy or something? All that is left is hope, and in another month all that will be left is prayer. :-D '
Keep watching, you guy is older than my guy. Maybe they could share nitro pills.
'He has already jumped the shark. Obama is a fad. He is the political equivalent of Disco. Oh sure, there are still people who wear white Cuban heel platform shoes and matching belts with a polyester leisure suit... But they are looked upon as being out of touch. You are looking more and more like a refugee from 'dance fever' every day to the cool folk. '
Where did you dig up the 'jumped the shark' saying. Stupid at best. Keep your eyes open neo-con dumb dumb. The show has only just began.
'Hey, it is tougher then keeping track of how many states there are in the union or who you stole your speech from.'
Houses, Shia, Sunni, lots of things the old boy needs to keep track of.
'McCain wiped the floor with him in their last appearance. That is why Obama is afraid to do the town meetings and limited the amount of debates after he said there would be more. Barry really is a coward.'
No he is not afraid, why should he if doesn't need to?
'After Saddleback, a lot of people got their mind right. The whole, 'killing live babies' bill that Obama voted for disgusted even the pro choice republicans. And your base? You still have to try to corral all the furious soccer moms who can't afford to fill up the tank and are justifiably disgusted at the way Hillary Clinton has been treated by the DNC. Sort of like herding wet, pissed off cats.'
Right, keep watching your dream is dying as we speak.
The following statements in your childish rant ===did not make any sense===:
===='I guess you mime people all the time? '===
I am not Marcel Marceau. In fact, I can't stand mimes.
===='You really need to make your mind up you brain dead half witted joke of a human being.'
Might help to indicate what I need to make my mind up about you rotten little she dog who has sucked at her daddy's teet all her life and now thinks that entitles her to being atken seriously.
==='Refuting a lie is only perpetuation that lie and only people with morals as low as you would do such a thing.'====
You must be on drugs.
==='It makes all the sense in the world that you would not like his hair, hair or skin color is all that you look at, bigot!'===
Yup, drunk or on drugs. There is no other explanation for such sheer stupidity. Saying I am a 'bigot' because Joe Biden got hair plugs that look like they were taken from his but crack and implanted in the same way you would put hair on a doll in the '30s is pathetic.
Calling people 'bigots' seems to be your idea of an intelligent argument. You are wrong.
After wasting my time with you it is clear that you are a spoiled rotten little white girl who paternalistically looks at people of color as 'projects' (rather then equals or even humans) that are to be uplifted by your sanctimony and other peoples effort; which is inherently bigoted. Or you are a spoiled rotten little balck girl who is trading on grievance and BS to give an unqualified candidate what you believe is an edge just because he is black. (Never mind that if the first black president you elect is an screw up raqther then someone like Powell it will be a long time before there is another one.)
Either way, calling someone a 'bigot' because they mentioned Biden's rat gray ass-tro turf is probably the stupidest thing any one has ever said in human history.
'. He has neither the ability nor the background to do any of this.'
Of course he does. Obama's background is 143 days in the senate and 20 years in the damn America church. I wouldn't be yapping about 'ability' if I were in your ugly Birkenstock's.
'He is part of the problem idiot,'
'he voted with Bush'
Hair plugs has NEVER HELD A JOB OUTSIDE OF WASHINGTON. McCain had 25 years in the Navy. Hairplugs voted for the war as well. He also voted to deliberately lose it too, idiot.
'Keep watching, you guy is older than my guy. '
By like a half hour.
'Where did you dig up the 'jumped the shark' saying. '
You remind me of when Bob Hope used to dress up like the Fonz. There is nothing more pathetic then an aging hipster trying to be cool.
'Houses, Shia, Sunni, lots of things the old boy needs to keep track of.'
Number of states, terrorist friends, crazy bigot preachers, klingon wives, committees that he never had a seat on but he claims credit for, Brothers, religions, pledges to take matching funding, etc. Plenty lil barry needs to keep track of.
'No he is not afraid, why should he if doesn't need to?'
Of course he is. To inform the American public.
'Right, keep watching your dream is dying as we speak.'
Even in the polls bit*h, and Johnny hasn't even begun to spend.
You impotent old fool:
'I am not Marcel Marceau. In fact, I can't stand mimes.'
Just pointing out that all of your claptrap gets through to no one, nothing that anyone hears, and easy to ignore.
'Might help to indicate what I need to make my mind up about you rotten little she dog who has sucked at her daddy's teet all her life and now thinks that entitles her to being atken seriously.'
Oh my, getting to you? Again showing your redneck approach to people who have things you wish you had. You constantly talk about having so much experience being some sore of GI Joe with a bad knee, most of what you had was given to you by the Government and you believe that 'entitles' you to think you are special, as I have said before all you are owed is a thank you!
'You must be on drugs.'
You would know you are the med king of the board. Have to keep that 'hero's knee' in place.
'Yup, drunk or on drugs. There is no other explanation for such sheer stupidity. Saying I am a 'bigot' because Joe Biden got hair plugs that look like they were taken from his but crack and implanted in the same way you would put hair on a doll in the '30s is pathetic.'
Saying you are bigot because you look at someone and judge them is a bit different. You have shown you like to tell 'stories' about Mr. Obama, trying to make him look like a Muslim, trying make him look like a crook, etc. This could only be because he is black and that must be driving you and your kind crazy---get use to it.
'Calling people 'bigots' seems to be your idea of an intelligent argument. You are wrong.'
No I think it is a true-on description of most of the ultra right wing in this country. They (as you are) are afraid to admit they are bigots.
'After wasting my time with you it is clear that you are a spoiled rotten little white girl who paternalistically looks at people of color as 'projects' (rather then equals or even humans) that are to be uplifted by your sanctimony and other peoples effort; which is inherently bigoted. Or you are a spoiled rotten little balck girl who is trading on grievance and BS to give an unqualified candidate what you believe is an edge just because he is black. (Never mind that if the first black president you elect is an screw up raqther then someone like Powell it will be a long time before there is another one.)'
This paragraph just shows how paranoid you really are. Plus it is so badly written with so many spelling errors, shows me you have over medicated again.
'Either way, calling someone a 'bigot' because they mentioned Biden's rat gray ass-tro turf is probably the stupidest thing any one has ever said in human history.'
Either way? Neither way is correct Mr. Limp Di*k. You are a paranoid closet dweller, and this posting shows that well.
'. He has neither the ability nor the background to do any of this.'
May not the background but he can put together the best team to implement his idea for a new America. The old one is really sick at this point due to the idiots that have been in charge the last 8 years.
'Of course he does. Obama's background is 143 days in the senate and 20 years in the damn America church. I wouldn't be yapping about 'ability' if I were in your ugly Birkenstock's.'
Again with the hatred. Screaming like you do, does not help you convert anyone to your jaded side of the spectrum.
'he voted with Bush'
'Hair plugs has NEVER HELD A JOB OUTSIDE OF WASHINGTON. McCain had 25 years in the Navy. Hairplugs voted for the war as well. He also voted to deliberately lose it too, idiot.'
'The Navy' is not a prerequisite for leading the country. He was not that great of a Navy leader. The only thing he really accomplished in his entire Navy career was to survive 5 1/2 years of hell. He is owed a lot for that, but I think he has had plenty of payback, he has had a wife that has supported him and paid for everything he desired for 25 years, what else could he ask for?
'By like a half hour.'
By like? There you go with the 12 year old stuff again.
'You remind me of when Bob Hope used to dress up like the Fonz. There is nothing more pathetic then an aging hipster trying to be cool.'
Are you speaking in the mirror again? You are the one that is trying to be cool, with the LOL, Jump The Shark, etc. Keep talking into the mirror, that way you will have a audience that is interested in the crap you spout.
'Number of states, terrorist friends, crazy bigot preachers, klingon wives, committees that he never had a seat on but he claims credit for, Brothers, religions, pledges to take matching funding, etc. Plenty lil barry needs to keep track of.'
You are funny. Your old guy has a hard time remembering what day it is.
'Of course he is. To inform the American public.'
Looks like he is doing pretty good, still leading your guy in most polls. Amazing what a guy that you claim 'has no experience' can do against your old man who has all this experience?? Hey did mention McSame was a POW?
'Even in the polls bit*h, and Johnny hasn't even begun to spend. '
Not so nice Mr. impotent. Did I mention McSame was a POW?
Must be getting to you, you have started using the same spell check SP4 uses.
Did I mention John McSame was a POW?
..that Biden actually said Obama was not ready for the job 12 months ago???
!
Yes you idiot, believe it or not we can read. On the other hand isn't it great what one can learn in 1 year---if you had gotten past the 6th grade you would understand.
You impotent old fool:
None of the above. Bet you all the guys tell you they are impotent though.
“Just pointing out that all of your claptrap gets through to no one, nothing that anyone hears, and easy to ignore.“
No you were incoherently babbling.
“Oh my, getting to you?”
Nope.
“Again showing your redneck approach to people who have things you wish you had”
You have had nothing that I haven’t except harpies and everything I do have I have earned. What you call “yours” was given to you.
The thing is, the policies he is for will take all your unearned money away. Then you might have to find out what it is to actually produce something you parasite.
“You constantly talk about having so much experience being some sore[sic] of GI Joe with a bad knee,”
When have I mentioned any of that?
“most of what you had was given to you by the Government and you believe that 'entitles' you to think you are special,”
No, practically nothing I have was given to me by the government and I think I am special because I can compose a rational argument and present it without making a complete fool out of myself.
“I have said before all you are owed is a thank you!”
As I have said before you don’t owe me, personally, anything because I did what I did for reasons that were entirely unrelated to you. So feel free to pour contempt and scorn on my military service that I do not trade off of to win an internet argument. It just adds to the whole ignorant, spoiled turd persona that you display here. You (And I) owe countless others much more then a “thank you” for our freedom and prosperity. Nobody owes Obama a damn thing.
“Have to keep that 'hero's knee' in place.”
A little 3 in one oil and it is just fine, thank you.
“Saying you are bigot because you look at someone and judge them is a bit different.”
So because I looked at Biden’s plugs and judged them to be lousy I am a bigot. You are a moron, that’s all.
“You have shown you like to tell 'stories' about Mr. Obama, trying to make him look like a Muslim,”
I have posted news articles from sources like the New York Times that have highlighted his very real Muslim past. Since you could not find anything factually wrong with them you are just going to have to suck it up and deal with it.
“trying make him look like a crook”
He is. A liar too.
“This could only be because he is black and that must be driving you and your kind crazy”
No, that is your bigotry, It is only because what I have posted is factual. True. You haven’t been able to disprove a single item. I have posted what I have posted because he is a genuinely unqualified, radical liar and he poses a very real threat to the country. If you cared about the USA, which you have demonstrated that you don’t, you might want to either show me where I am wrong. (You can’t) Or reevaluate your baseless opinion on him. (You wont.)
Black people are not your pets. They are not your little play things to be uplifted by your sanctimony. They are human beings and nothing diminishes their potential more then being held to a lower standard then everyone else.
Above all, this country is too important to be entrusted to someone who you are holding to a lower standard then someone else who you would insist on more qualifications were they a different race.
That is the very definition of bigotry yet you STUPIDLY call others bigots.
“No I think it is a true-on description of most of the ultra right wing in this country”
You don’t “think” at all, you recite.
“This paragraph just shows how paranoid you really are.”
Not a counterargument. That is your way of running from the truth.
“Neither way is correct Mr. Limp Di*k.”
Classy. Daddy didn’t send you to finishing school I see.
“May[sic] not the background”
When you use spell check it doesn’t correct for all your stupidity. You want to lecture me about education some more?
“Again with the hatred.”
Pointing out that he is an unqualified grifter with 143 days in the senate as a resume doesn’t qualify as “hatred”.
“The Navy' is not a prerequisite for leading the country.”
More then 143 days is.
“The only thing he really accomplished in his entire Navy career was to survive 5 1/2 years of hell.”
Not true, he commanded the Navy’s largest squadron and brought readiness up to it’s highest level.
“, he has had a wife that has supported him and paid for everything he desired for 25 years,”
Again showing your redneck approach to people who have things you wish you had. :-D
“Looks like he is doing pretty good,”
He has outspent McCain 3 to 1 and he is behind in the polls. Nope, not so good. He will get a bounce after this, but he is beatable.
“Hey did [sic]mention McSame was a POW?”
Again, spell check wont fix stupidity.
“Did I mention John McSame was a POW?”
No, go ahead, It gives me the opportunity to remind everyone that Obama hasn’t served anything other then himself.
'Yes you idiot, believe it or not we can read. On the other hand isn't it great what one can learn in 1 year--'
Yes, he has learned to recite what he was told to say by David Axelrod who tested it on a focus group for it's appeal to morons. He also learned to spend millions of dollars of suckers money. He is so frigging gifted!
'None of the above.'
I bet the only thing that can get you going is a young boy in a sailor's outfit?
'No you were incoherently babbling.'
The truth really bothers people like you, you have not idea where the truth is at.
'You have had nothing that I haven’t except harpies and everything I do have I have earned. What you call “yours” was given to you. '
I someone like you 'earned it' it must be real exciting, like maybe a GI Joe doll collection?
'The thing is, the policies he is for will take all your unearned money away. Then you might have to find out what it is to actually produce something you parasite.
Right wing talking point. You are so blind to the truth, you will believe anything Rush says.
'When have I mentioned any of that?'
Always all that Navy pilot hero crap. I am sure you were a pilot, you worked in a stock yard and you would pilot here and pilot there.
'No, practically nothing I have was given to me by the government and I think I am special because I can compose a rational argument and present it without making a complete fool out of myself. '
Says you. Your 'rational argument' is crap. All you do is spout the same old crap day after day, post right wing articles (even Ann Coulter!) and claim you know what is going on. You may know what is going on in your sick right wing world, but the real picture escapes you.
'As I have said before you don’t owe me, personally, anything because I did what I did for reasons that were entirely unrelated to you. So feel free to pour contempt and scorn on my military service that I do not trade off of to win an internet argument. It just adds to the whole ignorant, spoiled turd persona that you display here. You (And I) owe countless others much more then a “thank you” for our freedom and prosperity. Nobody owes Obama a damn thing.'
The ones that are really owed a thank you are the real heros out there. They are the ones that know that they fight for people to be able to think, say and act as a free person, without having some stupid POS tell them how stupid they are, call them parasites, idiots, etc. And by the way Obama is going to win this thing so get use to it. McSame is not owed anything either, he has helped take America from a superpower to a third world country in the last 8 years. Look around stupid!
'A little 3 in one oil and it is just fine, thank you.'
Now you are the tin man?
'So because I looked at Biden’s plugs and judged them to be lousy I am a bigot. You are a moron, that’s all.'
Kind of sounds like someone who called McSame gray haired old man and was called a bigot. Sounds about right for a right wing POS, always OK for you but not for others?
'I have posted news articles from sources like the New York Times that have highlighted his very real Muslim past. Since you could not find anything factually wrong with them you are just going to have to suck it up and deal with it.'
there you go with your lies. I bet you have posted maybe 1 article from the NY Times, and that article did not 'highlighted his very Muslim past' as there is no 'Muslim Past'. Like I said before I went to a Catholic High School, but I am not Catholic---the articles speak for themselves, your lies about them speak for you, liar!
'He is. A liar too.'
Liar, I have pointed out 10 times how a 3rd grader knows that in order to be considered a crook one must be at least charged with a crime---show us that liar! And as I have stated before pointing out you lies, when McSame changes his mind it is not a lie, but when Obama changes his mind it is a lie? That sounds just about right for a right-wing, neo-con, bible thumping idiot.
'No, that is your bigotry, It is only because what I have posted is factual. True. You haven’t been able to disprove a single item. I have posted what I have posted because he is a genuinely unqualified, radical liar and he poses a very real threat to the country. If you cared about the USA, which you have demonstrated that you don’t, you might want to either show me where I am wrong. (You can’t) Or reevaluate your baseless opinion on him. (You wont.) '
Facts according to you demented mind. Oh be afraid very afraid, what a joke. Ever thing you say is wrong stupid. It is only right to you and a few other of your neo-con buddies.
'Black people are not your pets. They are not your little play things to be uplifted by your sanctimony. They are human beings and nothing diminishes their potential more then being held to a lower standard then everyone else.'
Really, like you would know. You are the one that has shown your fear for a black president or woman president. If Hillary had gotten the nomination you would have been posting right wing articles about her, telling everyone she is not qualified, anything negative---but of course not factual.
'Above all, this country is too important to be entrusted to someone who you are holding to a lower standard then someone else who you would insist on more qualifications were they a different race.'
I am holding him to a higher standard stupid. It would be impossible for anyone no matter what race to do worse than Bush and McSame has done. Some of the best managers in the world are lacking in some areas, that is why they surround themselves with the best they can find.
'That is the very definition of bigotry yet you STUPIDLY call others bigot.'
Again, talking to yourself.
'You don’t “think” at all, you recite.'
And your best feature is your ability to find every right wing article in the country to post here thinking that anything you say makes any difference in the world. Everyone sees it as it is---claptrap.
'Not a counterargument. That is your way of running from the truth. '
I am running away from your 'truth', I prefer to embrace reality.
'Classy. Daddy didn’t send you to finishing school I see.'
Truth hurts doesn't it?
'When you use spell check it doesn’t correct for all your stupidity. You want to lecture me about education some more?'
You have proven your education was a complete and total waste of time. The only person who shows their stupidity more on this board by living here is SP4. He is probably your 3rd or 4th personality.
'Pointing out that he is an unqualified grifter with 143 days in the senate as a resume doesn’t qualify as “hatred”.'
Again please show me where he has been charged with any crime. You can't but that is one of the lies you like to spread and then wonder why people call you a liar.
More then 143 days is.
I don't agree with you, to bad.
'Not true, he commanded the Navy’s largest squadron and brought readiness up to it’s highest level. '
And he lost 3 aircraft. Worse pilot than GWB.
'Again showing your redneck approach to people who have things you wish you had. :-D'
Not at all, just pointing out that he is a mooch, married money instead of earning his own.
'He has outspent McCain 3 to 1 and he is behind in the polls. Nope, not so good. He will get a bounce after this, but he is beatable.'
So what, he actually had to campaign and spend hard to beat the people he beat. McSame only had to beat a couple who quit (Rudy & Mitt), a preacher (The Huckster) and a Texas nut-ball (Mr. Paul). Not much there, kind of typical of the right wing more a bunch of sissies.
'Again, spell check wont fix stupidity. '
Did I mention John McSame was a POW?
'No, go ahead, It gives me the opportunity to remind everyone that Obama hasn’t served anything other then himself. '
That is all he has going for him. McSame ceased to be the Maverick 3 1/2 years ago when he started hugging GWB again. Too bad if he had stayed independent and told the idiots in charge to 'stick it', Obama or whomever got the nomination would not have a chance. The country is not going to elect a Bush III, no matter if he is an ex POW!

I am quite surprised — nearly shocked — at the pick of Biden. I believe Obama has made an error — not just hope so, believe. And he had so many good options for the veep slot (unlike John McCain). He could have gone Kaine, Bayh, Sebelius, Boren, Edwards (Chet) — he had many good options. It was practically impossible to screw up.
I never thought that Biden was a decent option. James J. Kilpatrick used to call Howard Metzenbaum “Senator Obnoxious.” (He would write, “Senator Obnoxious (D., Ohio).”) Biden is another Senator Obnoxious — boastful, boorish, self-loving. The file on Biden is very thick.
Pat Caddell, back when he was a golden-boy political handler, loved Biden — thought he could make him president. Biden always looked good on paper — but then got in his own way.
I believe that Barack Obama will not wear well. Indeed, I think his act has been wearing thin for weeks. And I think that his vice-presidential nominee will wear even worse. I’m not sure why he went with Biden — maybe he likes him, personally, which is not the worst thing in the world. It’s helpful if a president likes his vice president (or at least doesn’t dislike him). But I don’t see what Biden gains him. Biden is a slightly risible figure, what with his hair plugs (or whatever) and his many, many examples of public obnoxiousness.
All politicians have sizable egos, but this may be the most self-loving ticket ever. There’s an old saying, “He’ll die in his own arms” — that can apply to both of them. (I’ve thought of it in connection with McCain, too.) And Obama and Biden are two of the gassiest politicians in all the land — they are rhetorically impossible.
The verbiage ticket, this is, and the arrogance ticket, and the emptiness ticket. McCain and his running-mate-to-be should really take them. Don’t you think?
