Obama Picks Cliff the Mailman

As David Freddoso noted in his book, 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 Beltway cluelessness and arrogance unsupported by anything except frequent flier miles and Delaware's love for a chuckle-headed fellow with a big smile.
Rob Long asks "Isn't [Biden] sort of the stupid person's idea of the smart person's candidate?" Yes, he is. But that's not fair to stupid people. Even stupid people who watched Biden embarrass himself during the Alito hearings --remember the "I hate Princeton" moment followed by the donning of the Princeton cap?-- know that Slow Joe is all tenure and no talent.
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. Webb would have been hell on the stump. Kaine or Bayh would have put different states into play. Sebelius was a wild card.
But Biden? Marooned in Marin has a collection of Biden's greatest hits, which barely scratches the surface of the buffoonery Biden has produced over the years, and we'll be getting the audio ready for next week and the next two months. See also XDA's assessment: "That locks down the important swing state of Delaware and puts the combined fatuous egotism of the ticket into overload territory." Geraghty the Indispensable has a list of choice Slow Joe quotes as well.
But 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.
You want the counter argument: Read David Brooks, which Obama almost certainly did. But as a product of one of those towns in the industrial midwest full of Catholics and tough stories of the sort Brooks retails, I shake my head at the idea of a 36 year veteran of the Beltway who is down-the-line-liberal building a bridge to the old neighborhood. (And Dems have again got to face the problem of a hard-line abortion rights advocate explaining how this doesn't conflict with his Catholic faith. Archbishop Chaput's new book, Render Unto Caesar, is required reading on this suddenly central-again subject. My interview with the archbishop from Tuesday is transcribed here.)
Obama had another terrible week. His paean to the Chinese (he praised their "vastly superior" infrastructure on Thursday) his baffling equation of Russia's rape of Georgia with America's overthrow of Saddam, the new focus on his vote against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, his close ties with unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers and convicted felon Tony Rezko --all these things crowded in on him as he ran out of time to make a crucial decision. Pushed to the wall, he picked an empty suit like himself, a nice enough fellow who has done one thing well in his entire life, which is win elections in Delaware.
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.

Obamma, Biden, Pelosi, and Reid....these names just have sort of a reddish/marxist governing style. (all 4 against drilling for oil versus over 200 million Americans who would like lower gas prices and would love some local drillin' and refinin'.) Comrade Pelosi won't allow a rightful up or down vote (marxist politburo technique. It's not what the people want,but the few elites in the Mighty Government Kindom who say they know best.) Incredible.... |
|
|
Palin is a populist, NOT a conservative. Sorry, as nice as Sarah is, she is definitely not in Mitt Romney's league. Mitt is conservative (at least now he is), VERY SMART, amazing business mind, and articulate. Excellent speaker and communicator ! (like the master Reagan) and unlike that blow-hard showboat Biden, Romney has actually taken action and accomplished many impressive things. Biden likes to hear himself talk....very annoying. |
|
of that RNC ad:
"Obama supported measures designed to insert a deadly “poison pill” to kill the immigration legislation."
Why do we hate him again? Sounds like he's on our side! McCain has GOT to be the biggest liar and fraud the GOP has ever produced. Nose-holding just won't do it. |
|
Picking Biden is more evidence there is a God.
Objectively speaking what does Biden bring to the ticket...nothing...
He brings no money.
He doesn’t bring any states and electoral votes
He doesn’t bring a reputation for honesty and integrity (his plagiarism inflated resume, etc.)
He can’t really control his mouth.
His foreign policy experience is more “arm chair quarter back” than real.
He is boring.
It is clear that no one of quality wanted to play with Obama on the ticket...all the smart and qualified Democrats (there are not many) said no way.
So, since time was running out, the Obama campaign went a bought a very nice mirror and set it out front of the capital...and in seconds Biden appeared. What a choice.
The election is McCain’s to lose.
All McCain has to do to win is keep up the aggressive campaign and pick a pro-life, conservative VP. |
|
It is about time that all Christians (Catholics, Evangelical, etc.) who vote Democrat snap out of their strange delusion and realize the following: A person can not be a Christian and support a pro-choice candidate...when there is a pro-life option.
The Democrat party is now the Socialist "statist" party...trying to place themselves in place of God.
|
|
Hugh, is right,
This election is going to be about;
HUMAN RIGHTS, of the unborn, YES, this time, the Catholic voter will vote for the unborn baby's right to life.
|

Biden has done that for himself. The Alito hearing is just one of many. Go back to what he did to Clarence Thomas in the Judiciary Committee hearings, and how the libs don't think he did enough to defend Anita Hill. Then try on his stupid racist comment (I think I have the quote right) "I think that the only reason Clarence Thomas is on the Court is because he is black. I don't believe he could have won had he been white. And the reason is, I think it was a cynical ploy by President Bush."
So now he's running as VP with the candidate who has as his only credential that he is black; every other statement he has made (uniter, changer, etc) can be shown to be a lie by his record. Liberals, keep on drinking the Kool-Aid (oops, there was a lady on Hannity who said that was a racist comment because blacks drink Kool-Aid). |
|
|
|
what a lame column by the prince of lameness, Hugh Hewitt.
Obama's campaign finally does something right. Biden's going to be a formidable contender, and Hughie knows it. so he wants to make Biden look foolish. not gonna work.
Joe Biden is probably the ONLY VP candidate that would have made me, a former Hillary supporter, 100% certain to vote Democratic this year. and I don't think I'm alone.
McCain still has a chance if he wises up and picks a pro-choice VP to run with. but since conservatives will not let him do that, I think this is the beginning of the end for him. |
|
|
After all the other 'names' that were floated, the other's told Obama no way. They can see that he's an albatross around their necks and saw their political careers going up in smoke. I'm betting more than one said NO. I'm also betteing the privacy of the voting booth, they'll be voting the McCain/Romney ticket. |
|
I am not a big Biden for President fan, but of all the Dems he is the least offensive. The problem for Obama is Obama. Does Obama remember how many people he has thrown under the bus?
Let's count:
Grandma "a typical white woman"
Kenya Bro Bama
Jeremiah Wright
Father Pfleger
Bill Ayers
Hillary Clinton
I am sure you can all remember more. |
|
Come on. The first concern of the VP selection is "do no harm." Only time shall tell. The VP has only two duties ... Preside over the Senate (He's not allowed t debate) and be at hand should he need to fill the office of the President.
The choice of VP is more important for Senator Mc Cain. But frankly considering his campaign schedule I doubt if anyone fence sitting would be seriously concerned about the Senator's Health.
Senator Obama still has the problem of an inverted ticket. It would have been difficult for him not to find someone with a thiner Re'sume' who would not upstage him.
|
|
Come back from vacation and find this! Shut up, Charity, you're an angry little New York dink and always will be.
Hey, the Obama/Biden team sounds good; tough. Lookin' forward to the campaign! |
|
...posting several more times on this thread in his quest to "scale back" his responsibilities here.
Well, you know, he's got, "better things to do with his time".
I know, I know, he's posted more since his declaration to "scale back". It is merely another example of the antics of those in the Liberal ranks; they are dazed and confused. |
|
WE don't need to smear Biden, he has done it all by himself...
Are you stupid or what... |
|
about a 100 times and more by Monday morning. Boy Rush is going to be in rare form. He's going to be in such a good mood. Can't wait till 3 pm Mon. It's gonna be better than the 3 am deal the Libs got. ha ha ha This is the best thing to happen except Saddle back,in the whole election.
|
|
He picked him because he was tops in the polls and he doesn't know how to decide on his own. This is probably the covert actions of the clintons and sharpton and his ilk to guarantee a sad day for Barry hussin Obama. The real question is do we really want to make "michelle my belle" to not have pride for her country again. Stupod democrats. Flip the ticket around and it would have a dramatically stronger chance of winning. stupid democrats. who will they blame this loss on?
p.s. the stupid democrats are the one who are actually excited about this. Stupid democrats |
|
|
I think McCain should criticize Obama's plan to pre-announce his VP choice to a select group of people. McCain should counter with his plan to announce the VP choice to all of the American people at the same time. No special treatment for a special group. And make it clear that it's the VP candidate for the American people as opposed to Obama's vp. |
|
“Is this the best episode of Punked ever or what?”
“No, he picked Joe Biden.”
“Really, Slow Joe Biden? Oh come on--oh wait, I get it Candid Camera is making a comeback--where’s the camera?”
“Seriously, he picked Joe Biden.”
“Really? Joe Biden? Really? Well fricassee and sassafras reality really is more bizarre than fiction.” |
|
From Biden's own mouth. Is Obama ready to be the PREZ.
(NOPE)
Chew on that buddy.... I love the video of Obama's face when Biden said it....
SWEET! |
|
First, this:
"Plugs & Smugs...Toast in so many ways."
That right there? Pure distilled genius. Very very very well done.
Moving on...
After all the cloak and dagger, captain um picks plagiarizin' joe biden?
wow, that brings the hope- only jugears brought it to us on the right, not to his dimwitted acolytes in the surreality based community.
And how does picking a slug like biden represent change?
Thanks, Urkel X.
pathetic liberal tries to apply lipstick on the pig with this:
"The Killer Bees, Barack and Biden, are gonna smoke your sorry arses. The guy you didn't want is the guy you got. Ouch. And it is gonna hurt this Fall, as you watch your senile candidate, and his slippery little sidekick (assuming its Mitt, wheezing further and further away, and into the ashheap of history."
Ah....right.
Didn't know biden smoked, and I thought b.hussein only smoked cigarrettes- but as one of his useful idiots you'd know whether or not he smoked arses better than us.
Believe you meant to say the bumbling babbling Bs.
The guy we didn't want? Nice judge-a-ment on jugears' part, this guy is dolt personified- a babbling hair plugged nitwit. I couldn't be happier with this pick.
Senile candidate? Biden is six years younger than McCain, guess you got a senile vp candidate.
"You chumps ain't in control. This is one guy you don't own.."
Well hey look there, you got one right. A shiny star for your oversized, misshapen forehead, fella.
We most certainly don't own b.hussein- he was bought and paid for years ago by rezko, any fool (even you apparently) knows that.
Hope. Change. HAH!

which haven't been on my 'radar screen'. atot, I hadn't thought about Gov.Barbour of Mississippi at all. But, I like it. And, Roberta, Michael Steele would be a strong, heavy-duty resume, brainy & handsome candidate, as well. Like'um both.
__________________________________________________
Queen-8: You gotta be kidding about Slow-Joe Biden making Sarah Palin quake in her hunting boots! She'd make Mush of the twit and give him some swelling at the same time. Beyond the brains, beauty, verbal nimbleness, staunch Conservative Credentials, pro-life, exec. experience, wonderful family and charm...There's also the fact that she had more real exec time in the last 3-months than Bammy & Biden have in their whole goofy, useless careers. Ba-da-Bing. |
|
|
Just like Cliff the Mailman you have something in common with him a self-proclaimed know-it-all!!!! |
|
Joe C.
Damn, coffee came shooting out of my nose when I read your comment about the order of most to least worrisome for the Repubs. Too damn funny! |
|
|
I agree with you. I thing Michael Steele would be great! I haven't heard him mentioned anywhere though. |
|
|
|
|
...my Blackberry-toting friends thought last night, that readers of Matt Drudge knew before they did. |
|
|
That's why Morris is a Democrat.... He makes good call usually for the Dems.... but absolutely sucks with his advise for the Reeps. |
|
The cool thing about Biden is that he treats the Reep strategic "perspective" with the contempt it deserves. No one's gonna be respectin' ya this time around.
And now, friends, until next time.. |
|
|
I'll always love Attackin' Joe Biden for his fabulous hair-plugs - he plays rough. |
|
Michael Steele is an excellent choice. I have seen him a number of times on Fox and haven't heard/seen him get out-pointed yet by any of the left's attack dogs.
Sarah Palin would be an interesting choice that wouldn't hurt Mac either.
I think Mitt's the guy, though, and he is more than able to deal with Biden in a VP debate.
As long as it's not Ridge or Lieberman, we are in great shape. |
|
Did you notice that Murdoch's WSJ and Drudge had it ALL WRONG? Murdoch says Kaine. Drudge says Bayh. Barack says Biden.
You chumps ain't in control. This is one guy you don't own.. |
|
You have certainly lost some more of your lustre, what with the whole "hope/change" mantra and all. Sam Nunn would have been a better "foreign policy" guy, guess he knew a loser when he saw one. And "Biden the Outsider" doesn't really ring very true, does it?
Let the Games Begin. |
|
|
The Killer Bees, Barack and Biden, are gonna smoke your sorry arses. The guy you didn't want is the guy you got. Ouch. And it is gonna hurt this Fall, as you watch your senile candidate, and his slippery little sidekick (assuming its Mitt, wheezing further and further away, and into the ashheap of history. |

Ex-major leaguer and would-be comedian Bob Uecker liked to boast of the year he and a Phillie teammate combined for 43 home runs. Never mind that his teammate hit 42 and Uecker one. Likewise, now Obama can boast of the nearly 40 years of combines Senate experience the Dem ticket has. |
|
|
I think you are concerned unnecessarily about the 'Catholic' vote going to Obama. I don't see any reason for CINO's to be any more inclined to vote for Obama with Biden on the ticket than they would be otherwise. If someone is Pro-Choice, whether Obama picks a CINO or any other denomination candidate who is Pro Choice, it seems like they would be voting for him anyway, IMO. |
|
I'm seeing a number of Hillary voters claim they are going to write-in Hillary when they vote.
There is also a good RNC video in the article below on experience where Biden trashes Obama.
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/08/obama-bi den-vp.html
Check out the comments section to hear the Hillary voters show their anger. You can see this on Koz also. |

Here is Biden on Iraq:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/0 8/23/AR2008082300850.html
"This choice of Biden is disappointing, because he is the creator of the idea of dividing Iraq," Salih al-Mutlaq, head of National Dialogue, one of the main Sunni Arab blocs in parliament, told Reuters."
The Iraq's are not fans of Biden. Biden was wrong on Iraq in a way only Biden could be wrong, by taking the odd position of breaking Iraq into 3 countries sunni, kurd and shia.

Not so fast everyone. The shrewd BO has just locked up the hair-transplant-recipient vote. The wheels are always turning at camp BO. |
|
|
|
Biden is a good person, dont get me wronge,
but why would Obama pick Biden over Clinton doesnt make any sense, Clinton had 18 million votes over Obamas 17 million,
just go's show Bad Judgement once again,
McCain/Romney the winning ticket. |

Know one needs to smear Biden, he done a good job all by himself. |
|
Biden do you think Obama is ready for the White House.
(NOPE)
Is John McCain a hero
(YES)
This is a dream come true. Thanks Obama the not so great!
I see McCain has an ad out already! LOL |
|
|
I just said Ithink he could beat Obammy if he did. |
|
|
For a guy from Delaware , where he is an arrogant bumbler whose only TV time has been as head of the Judiciary Comm. in the Senate, no one needs to smear Joe. One needs only to keep playing all the bites that Joe has uttered over his 36 years. He is surely not the change momentum that the Messiah wanted but had to have since only Joe has any experience at Beltway malarky in this newly found duo. His smile alone reminds one of that used car salesguy who is taking you for a ride. Literally. Whether Kay, Mitt, or Tim have to debate him, their honesty will overcome his HIGH IQ.that has always been on display as he was overwhelmed by Justice Roberts, Alito, and even Thomas. |
|
|
I think that Biden is neither slow nor a bad fellow. But what have his positions been? I think he is in favor of taxing folks a bit more. I think he is against drilling for oil off shore now and with great vigor. He is no dummy, he is just wrong and/or misguided. |

The Biden Comedy hour
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/veepstakes_analysis;_ylt=Ajt0uDM O3DMCUk8.fKhrGVNh24cA
"In picking Sen. Joe Biden to be his running mate, Barack Obama sought to shore up his weakness — inexperience in office and on foreign policy — rather than underscore his strength as a new-generation candidate defying political conventions."
Yes, "being inexperienced in office and on foreign policy" is "defying political conventions" for becoming president of the U.S.
I guess the AP idea of hope and change, would be to have two people in the white house who were "inexperienced in office and on foreign policy".
"After all, Biden is anything but a change agent, having been in office longer than half of all Americans have been alive. Longer than McCain."
Again, AP says a "change agent" is someone without experience.
"And he talks too much."
AP also doesn't like people who talk a lot.
Wow, it must be that time of the month for the AP :)
|
|
What a ticket; a tabula rasa and a babbling idiot (the best part is that the descriptions are interchangeable).
Obama/Biden 08... No, Dumb/Dumber 08!
Can you hear it? I do...
Somewhere off in the distance I hear the maniacal laugh of Mr. Putin.
God help us... |
|
McCain needs to pick Michael Steele. With Steele, Obama will not OWN the African American mantle and Biden will not OWN the Catholic mantle.
Steele is:
Black like Obama
Young and good looking like Obama
Has a strong Business and Finance Record
Has a more impressive record than Obama
Maybe even a BETTER orator than Obama
Catholic like Biden
More Conservative than McCain
Pro-Life
|
|
Do you believe all 18 million will blindly vote for her on a Republican ticket? I don't
Do you believe McCain will lose more or less than the 18 million (or whatever part thereof) that come with the Hillary pick?
Either way it would be even more suicidal than picking Lieberman. It would be grounds for kicking McCain out of the party IMO.
|
|
|
He had to pick a Catholic, especially any CINO. Now the masses who call themselves "Catholic" but do not subscribe to the teachings of the Catholic Church on abortion, embryonic stem cell research and euthanasia, (all intrinsic evils), will feel totally free to vote for Obama/Biden. Biden has a zero percent rating with National Right to Life. He's no better than Obama on life issues and evermore the pompous windbag. |

Bob Barr walks in beauty, like the night
Of fenceless borders and starry skies;
A Patriot Act of dark and bright
Meet in the bushiness eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which Loserdom he adamently denies.
Once a Pub, till on relection he got less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er his face;
Where nativist thoughts serenely sweet express
The pure love of Phil fills a place.
And Virginia Patriot notes that furry brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
Pasadena Phil contributions spent,
But Virginia Patriot protects the border below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

The question might be: Are there more people right of center who would vote for McCain than there are people who are more center, or even a little left of center who would vote for Hillary? She did get 18 million votes you know? Plus we should take into consideration those who
would have to hold their noses to vote for Mc Cain, and those who would vote for Hillary merely to stop Obama. I think it would be a toss up, actually, But in any case, it would be interesting, no? |
|
|
good last post! But, you get the drift, Kimmy, my little strudal. |
|
|
You better off today than you were two years ago? |
|
Germany in May,'45...We're STILL there, Babe. By the thousands. We have establishe 2-Hard Bases in Iraq that are meant to LAST a LONG TIME, Kiddo. Decades.
See, Kim, Military History 101-A would'da taught your andy little tinfoil haid' that the Winner's tasks aren't ver when they WIN. Gov't schools have witheld that from ya, Sweetie, in those cool World Cultures courses, ehhh?
Gotta run and do much *VIGFM, or I'd stay and chat.
*Vast Inexpressable GOOD For Mankind*.
I'd wager that my work in the 'Hood with my Homie Families would just bring sighs and swoons of Lib'Rul approval from ya, Babycakes. Gotta go do Gooood now. NO Bong, Kim. One day at a time, Hon. |
|
that BO and Slow Joe have exactly ZERO experience in the administration or operation of ANYTHING. Not even shift management at McDonald's between them.
The electorate is now supposed to consider them for administering the Executive branch of our $3 trillion federal government.
Gee, what' wrong with this picture? |
|
Hugh's right - this has been a very bad week for The One.
Also like Hugh, I was starting to worry a bit that with all the torpedo and bomb hits that the Bismarck, I mean, the good ship Obambi, was taking, he might panic and choose the one veep who could actually make it a race - i.e., the Broomstick Pilot. Sure, it would have been a bad choice personally for the Obamessiah - he'd certainly have to hire a very reliable food taster, for one thing - but at least it would even the odds for his election.
But nope ... now we get the Salt'n Peppa/Young'n Old version of the Olsen Twins ... who stand ready to lead us all ... at least in terms of gas emitted per hour of useless talk.
I think this decision opens up John McCain to go with one of two very competitive choices for his veep - either Sarah Palin, who could really give the Hillary voters an alternative to staying home, and who has actual management experience, and is a conservative, and has actually - believe it or not! - accomplished some real achievements in her relatively short life ... and then there's also MS Gov. Haley Barbour .. male, older, even more accomplished than Pallin, and with terrific national party and conservative credentials.
Contrary to Hugh and the mittwit cheerleaders over on NRO, this is not a good opening for Romney as McCain's pick ... he's another all talk-no real accomplishments guy (unless you consider that huge abortion of a government run health care fiasco in MA to be an "accomplishment"). Romney being another all talk candidate would only result in giving a free pass to the twin mouth-flapping gasbags on the Dem ticket.

by Cross-dressing Joe Smithers (aka man of a thousand names)
He walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in his aspect and his eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er his face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
That is how Crossdressing Joe falls in love with his candidate. Don't try reasoning with him, it's like trying to talk a 11-year old girl out of a puppy love crush over whatever teen idol is now popular. |
|
|
choose Kay Bailey Hutchison as his running mate. |
|
|
This election started more than two years ago yet we couldn't discuss issues because we couldn't afford to risk losing to Hillary. It was all about "electibility" and "only McCain/Giluiani" could beat Hillary. Ok, they picked Obama. Now we can't discuss issues because we can't afford to lose to a "black Marxist". Yeah, your way makes lots of sense... if you live in Cuba or Russia where discussing issues is a threat to survival. Makes as much sense as using multiple snarky names to make arguments. You are nothing more than a sneaky, deluded liar and weasel. |
|
|
|
"McCain will win if he picks Hllary!"
Only one minor flaw in that argument....do you think anyone right of center is going to vote for McCain if he does that? That's a surefire landslide loss.
|
|
Yeah, keep playing the adultery card. That's really going to work for you and just further demonstrates your utter meltdown. No-one, REPEAT no-one who has Bill Clinton as a figurehead in their party shoud ever bring up the adultery issue. It's going nowhere just like the boy-wonders candidacy.
Change? And you pick a 36 year veteran of the beltway? Gimme a break.
You spend months hammering those who voted for the Iraq war and then pick one of them for your VP. And don't waste your breath giving me the "Bush lied" meme. How do you square the foreign policy expertise of Sen. Biden with his ability to be tricked by one falsehood from the President? Doesn't bode well for his judgement either does it?
Plugs & Smugs...Toast in so many ways.
|
|
Bu I have to say, its a delicious choice... If you think Obama is arrogant, Biden is arrogant on steroids. I recall his incredible defense of Bill Clintons little Monica episode, and I'm thinking.. You could not ask for a more delectible combination than these two... We are now entering the monkey cage, where the monkey pooh is going to start flying....
If nothing else, there will be a stark contrast between the softspoken McCain, and the Big Mouth, know it all image (wether true or not) that these two blow hards will most certainly display.
I am not a John McCain supporter, no matter who he puts on his ticket. But Alas, I will be voting against Obama in November. I personally think he is the energy crisis solution if we could just somehow capture the words coming out of this soon-to-be Gasbag Machine...
Biden hurling grenades and rhetoric, while Obama plays the race card ans insists his own words are an attack on his character... Man, this will be fun to watch... |
|
Yyyaaawwwnnn!!!
Wanted a war with Iraq long before bush - Good thing!
sings "bomb, bomb Iran" songs as a campaign slogan - Good thing!
saying we should aggressively fight back Russia - Didn't happen, but good thing if it did!
left his suffering first wife to marry the woman he'd secretly committed adultery - Don't care!
62 recent major flip flops on policies - Not that many, but flip-flopping from a stupid position to smart one is a good thing!
How'd kool-aid get on your tinfoil hat? |
|
Is your victory by defeat, winning by losing strategy of giving Barack "Can't I Just Finish My Waffle" Obama and Plugs Biden the election.
Just admit it, you may not like McCain but he is better than the alterative. |
|
Slow, slow joe biden, does it get better than this, not in this lifetime, the only way to top this pick, would have been to pick the dearly departed half wit and 1/2 of the dual fools, the one the only, bjob.
Can you imagine, slow joe, debating Romney. This is too, delicious!!
Thank you, obambi, thank you, thank you, thank you.
48 states.............. |

Smearing Biden is not hard. He's provided years of votes and verbal duhs... Replaying them is not a smear. Doing what Bill Maher does is a smear.
Obama and Biden in an ad-hoc conversation would sound someting like: Barack says " Duh, uh , yuh, well ah,... watta think Joe?" " Uh, do ya know, basically, uh, judge-a-ment.. back to you Barack." Talk about nails on the chalkboard (and yes, this is a smear).
So now McCain has a whole new pool of possible voters, Reagan blue collar Democrats, loaded with soccer moms.
50% of this group polled won't vote for Obama... (that number will go down after the convention)
20% of Hillary women voters polles say the will vote for McCain - they have already flipped...
We like Puma's....
Obama is still fighting the Clinton Wars - Thank You BO... Judge-a-ment.
After the convention bump, these two ad-hoc orally-skilled boobs will give us even more gaffes than before.
Uh, duh, well uh, basically, frankly, ya know....
Yeah Baby..

Think about it; 18 million people, a huge percentage of them women, voted for Hilllary. Out of 50% of them, only 30% say they will vote for Obama. 15% say they will vote for McCain. BUT think if Mc Cain were to have Hillary on his ticket, he could very well get ALL of her voters.
Now I wouldn't necessarily want Hillary in the white house again, but I can't say that if we don't get a real conservative as veep, especially since Mc Cain is not ALL that conservative himself, it would be a bad idea. At least she would have some clue about how to run a country, unlike BARACK, THE JOKE OBAMA! |

Obama bi den.
Hummmmmm. Guess no one else wanted the job, so he took on the old guy.
This might lock up the Romney select. |

We have WON the Iraq War.
There. Have a nice day, Doll. And, for once, try to stay away from that Bong Induced Happy Place...
Gooood Girl. It seems to have made our Lil'Kimmy a tad edgy recently...A smidge angrrrrryyy... Now, plant some flowers, help a Hippy, be kind to an Evil Righty...Seeee..? Gooooood. |

In 2005 Slow Joe was ranked 99th out of 100 senators in terms of personal wealth.
In 2006, Open Secrets lists Biden as 108th out of all US Senators with a near negative value on total income and assets.
108th???? Is Delaware the 57th state?
Anyone want to let this guy near the reins of the economy?

Sarah Palin does not flip my switch. Nor others in the party. too young. too inexperienced. And is sharkbait for Biden. |
|
|
Wesley Clark should be between Montana and Osama. |

Of all the possible choices - from an admittedly shallow pool - Biden is the one guy that brings nothing. If he was just a "zero," you could have at least said that he was a benign choice, but Biden is a net negative!
What's that McCain says about, "questioning his judgment." This pretty much proves his point.
These would have been my choices in order of Republican concern: Clinton, Bayh, Kaine, Nelson, Richardson, Hagel, C. Edwards....Hannah Montana, Bin Laden, Biden. |

Picking Governor Palin would shamelessly Light Up The Sky with Political ELECTRICITY!!
C'Mon, Johnny...Put your crusty ego & comfort zone aside and GO FOR THE GOLD! Chose her along with an announcement that you've seen the error of your ways on ANWR(with Sarah's enlightened help..)and no longer are confusing a bleak Arctic wilderness with the floor of the Grand Canyon. Sarah takes the "Flash" away from O'Bammy. AND, she's got a far better Executive Resume than either of the Dem ticket. Senator Forever Biden couldn't run a K-Mart.
Yes, Mitt Romney would be a strong, appealing choice, as well. But, remember, John, you can't seem to glance his way without looking pi**ed.
SARAH...SARAH... Don't blow this golden moment, McJuan...! |

This is going to be fantastic! Has there ever been a dumber election? McCain and Biden are a testament to how experience can be over-rated. I can't wait until they get into an argument over how best to secure the Iraq-Afghanistan border or how to work the Sushis into the Iraq governing coalition.
Let's go for the Grand Slam: Michael Brown for McCain's VP! |

right down to the crack about betting on wind at the end. |

Have you read some of the disgusting things said roiund here about John McCain. Go check some of the vile things your fellow traveller Kimberly has had to say recently about Senator McCain and especially with reference to his military service and then get back to us about "smears".
No-one needs to smear Joe Biden, he's done a fine job all on his own for years now.

I had the pleasure (or not, actually...miserable SOB) of meeting Cliff the Mailman recently and Joe, you are no Cliff.
|
|
Sorry Hugh - that headline is an insult to the actor who played "Cliff".
John Ratzenberger is a strong conservative and should not be associated, directly or indirectly, with barry hussein the marxist. |
|
Does Obama's pick affect McCain's selection? |
|
|
|
|
The smearing of Biden begins. |
