Rudy and Palin Smack Obama: So Why Is Biden The One Stumbling Stupid?

Did you notice how Palin's speech had a certain intimacy mainly because she was inside a hall and not out in a stadium tonight? I'd wager America did.

So, Joe Biden said what basically on the night Republicans were all "Country First!"?

Democratic vice-presidential nominee Joe Biden said yesterday that he and running mate Barack Obama could pursue criminal charges against the Bush administration if they are elected in November. Biden's comments, first reported by ABC news, attracted little notice on a day dominated by the drama surrounding his Republican counterpart, Alaska governor Sarah Palin.

Bad, bad move, choo-choo man. It's a good thing his foot is in his own mouth, were it in Obama's tonight, he might have lost a toe. STACLU has the video of Palin.

How tough can Palin be? Not very ... she stopped to blow someone a kiss in between savaging Obama for this and that. Maybe the strong attacks by Rudy and Palin were what all the Dem strategists were complaining about not seeing at the Dem convention last week?

There is only one thing that matters as regards Palin's speech - what will average Americans who didn't see the early teases think?

I suspect we will now see a miraculous conversion - from corrupt trailer trash small town mayor to Governor America's sweetheart almost over night ... assuming the mainstream media can keep up, of course. Ha!

I don't think there is going to be a problem with her debating Biden. Her speech had several memorable moments and some great shots across the bow of the Barry Express.

Can anyone remember a thing the great Xerxes said in his temple of doom speech last week. She hit Barry square in the chin with the line about on the one major policy decision (the surge for the trolls out there) he got it wrong.

Barry just got his clock cleaned by a soccer mom, how's he going to handle Putin?

I guess they were right in saying Biden is the "gift that keeps on giving." This association with the wacko fringe ideology of "Chimpeachment" was appropriately detailed in J.R. Dunn's post on AmericanThinker, correctly identifying Obama as a flake:

http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/08/the_odd_choices_in_barack_obam.html

I commented further that Biden supports the flake model, as he's one of the very few purchasable Senators who subscribe to such flake theories. Like his running-mate, Biden goes up when the options are right and left.

While we're challenged by a MSM that will refuse to cover Biden, subsequently causing him to be the invisible man, he will keep spewing out this amusing nonsense. It's like a word salad festival.

Incidentally, what does it mean when both the beltway insiders and the outsiders both ignore Biden as he was in Palin's speech tonight? To not even be worthy of a slam, that's gotta hurt. Then again, most of us ignore the profanity-spewing, urine-soaked flakes shouting hatred for jews, catholics, rural people, etc. when we walk down our city streets. Biden's quickly being relegated to a nut-job sideshow in this fight.

Um... the Nutter Center isn't a "stadium". It's a basketball arena. It's indoors.

But yes, it's a different kind of hall. The floor is big, but it's at the bottom of a big ol' pit; and the seats are all stacked up the sides. The Xcel Center is more of a convention center and less of an arena.

She blew a kiss at Mr Moe (sp?), the guy who was a former POW.

Mr. Moe kinda blushed. :)

You won't believe this one! (actually you probably will) Roger Simon at Politico is making light of the sexist media. My blood is boiling right now. Please check it out!

Everyone on the ultra-left loon pond keeps saying what a small state Alaska is----only 700,000 people. About the size of Delaware, but with a much bigger budget and much larger executive responsibilities---Oh Yeah, I forgot, Biden is just another blowhard lawyer who never has met a payroll, let alone had any executive responsibilities.

After that speech, I can't wait to see Sarah let the air out of gasbag Biden's tires.

The Dem's arrogance is only exceeded by their stupidity.

THOUGHTS ON SARAH PALIN'S RNC SPEECH - In a word, nauseating. Gov. Sarah Palin, who we are being led to believe is a 'conservative's conservative,' had the opportunity to outline her policies in a clear and coherent fashion. She had the opportunity to share her vision of America, and how starkly it contrasts to the socialist vision of Barack Obama. Instead, we got sarcasm, whining, and just plain old nastiness. The partisan hacks in attendance ate it up with a spoon, of course; but I can't help but feel that 75% of America was watching and thinking 'this is Dick Cheney in a skirt,' only nowhere near as shrewd. We got the tired neo-con lines about terrorism, Islam, protecting poor little ole' Israel, so on and so forth. Absent a 9-11 type disaster sometime in the next 63 days (always a possibility, I suppose), that is not going to sell in the year 2008. Not a chance, as most Americans have woken up to the GOP fear mongering, which is why Obama's pie-in-the-sky rhetoric of 'change' and 'hope' is working as well as it is with the still-quite-ignorant masses.

Very little was said by Mrs. Palin about our flat-lining economy, only the standard GOP line about cutting taxes. Worse, however, were the unfunny and grossly excessive one-liners, solely focused on Obama's lack of executive experience and the fact he will raise taxes. First off, Barracuda, you are running for vice president, not performing stand-up at a comedy club. Secondly, and more importantly, she failed to truly present just how dangerous Obama and his ideology really is for America. Par for the course for the entire McCain Campaign to date; they won't dare touch the really juicy stuff, such as Obama's communist and terrorist connections, or his sordid affair with the homosexual Larry Sinclair. If Sarah Palin really wanted to jab Obama, she would have called Obama out, in front of millions, for what he really is ... a Marxist! Mrs. Palin, to her credit, has been a very strong pro-life voice. Yet, did we hear the word 'abortion' mentioned even once in her spiel? She had the opportunity, in front of the whole world, to bring attention to Obama's enthusiastic - and documented - support for the cruel practice of partial-birth abortion, otherwise known as infanticide. No, instead we got lame jokes about him being a 'community organizer.' Yeah, you really came out swinging, Governor. Finally, the whining about the media was just plain pathetic. However bad the MSM is, it's not their fault that Mrs. Palin's 17 year-old daughter was stupid enough to get herself knocked up.

I was prepared to perhaps put aside my eternal cynicism and give you a chance, Sarah Palin. Although skeptical, I thought maybe - just maybe - a true American and true Christian had somehow managed to sneak herself onto the top of a major party ticket. On the surface, Palin's record looked pretty damn good. What's beneath the surface, however, is truly scary. One of only two conclusions can be drawn: Either Gov. Palin is a typical politician knowingly masquerading as a 'maverick' (like McCain himself) and laughing all the way to the bank; or, she is an ignorant, airhead dupe who is being used by McCain and the GOP in the most disgusting way possible. Either way, I feel a deep sense of sorrow for the Palin children - even the stupid one who got knocked up by her loser boyfriend - much in the same way as I do for Obama's little girls. The one thing I could always respect about George W. Bush, if nothing else, was that he refused to use his young daughters (now grown) to grab votes. Perhaps the same can be said for McCain today, as we never see much of anything about his children. Palin and Obama, on the other hand, only seem too happy to parade their families before the camera. Palin is actually showing herself to be worse than Obama in this regard, if that's possible, but that may be only because Obama's girls are too young to get pregnant, and were fortunate to be born healthy. Perhaps, Mrs. Palin, if you really have conservative family values, you should quit the campaign trail, resign the Governorship, and stay at home and be a mother to your infant, special needs son. Sarah Palin is so typical of women these days: They want their cake and want to eat it, too.

All of this has only served to cement my conclusion that McCain is the designated loser, and thus is throwing the election. The fix is in, Obama will be president, and the country will go to hell once and for all. Sarah Palin will go back to Alaska, and the dopey people up there will think of her as some sort of folk hero for trying to stand up to the big bad wolf (Obama), when in reality she played a great role in handing him the presidency on a silver platter! McCain himself, like his friend John Kerry before him, will spend the rest of his days in the Senate, fat, rich, and happy while the country crumbles. The cycle of deception and death goes on and on. I hate to sound like Michelle Obama, but on this evening I am most definitely NOT proud of my country! At least not the shell of a country it has become.

Merriam-Webster definition of 'Barracuda': One that uses aggressive, selfish, and sometimes unethical methods to obtain a goal especially in business.

Hey Solar Queen does it hurt to be so stupid or do you have to work hard at it.

Extreme leftist asshats like yourself will be much more at home at troll central don't you think.

The only person you need to feel sorry for is your parents for not being better trolls and ridding themselves of your worthless glob of fetal tissue when they had the chance. I'm sure they just wanted to carry on their legacy of inbreeding haters from generation to generation.

Please come back anytime there is always room for Jello!

My "official "Darth Rove Hack-a-Tron™" calculates a 37.72% chance of a McCain-Palin victory. That's up nearly 4 points from last week.

Though I admit Ms. Palin seems to be a fresh breath of air in an otherwise "business as usual" GOP campaign ... I'm still a bit skittish on the what the major parties have to offer... granted, American politics has typically been an experience either in getting fleeced (Democrats) or getting the wool pulled over one's eyes (GOP).

Especially after the time and mental energy I invested in Fred™ (Thompson) only to finally find out that he was nothing but a stalking horse for his Senate buddy John McCain.

[templar knight]

Come on seek, get on the bandwagon, you know you want to. With Sarah Palin shaking up the ticket, and bringing new blood into Washington, who knows what can happen? But we know for sure that Barry can't be allowed to take over our country. What he will do can never be undone, remember that.

SacTownMan, looks like the Democrats have their trolls out in numbers. Barry is running scared, so his moonbat troopers are out in force, but to no avail. Their asses are cooked. I love it.

[supernintendo chalmers]

SacTownMan, did you read sunking's screed?

seems to me like he's on your side...why the attack?

her speech was pathetic, no doubt about that...but it's just the kind of thing dumb-dumbs, who are republicans because their parents were, eat up

so a total success for dumb-dumbs but a loss for real forward-thinking republicans who recognize the last eight years as being more of a disaster than not, and that 4-8 more years of the same is not really the solution

imo, and yes I will be voting for Barry

BTW, the "success" of the surge is really nothing more than a myth, should we view it in terms of its original goals and the real reasons of the reduction in violence

Indeed, I am giving it prayerful thought, especially since my best third party bet was unable to make the ballot here in NY and my second bet (Bob Barr) is likely to be a spoiler for all the good talk about him possibly shearing as much as 15% of the vote from between Obama and McCain.

Clearly Jesus has little use for the esteemed Doctor and Reverend Chuck Baldwin. I would avoid trees during lightning storms if I was him.

[seekeronos]

Dr. Baldwin will do fine, I am sure - as long as he is in and doing God's will.

If God's will for him is not to be POTUS, then certainly whatever God has for him to do is the more important thing.

[chris]

I think that God's 'plan' for the 'Doctor' is to fleece gullible rubes like you.

"--- I think that God's 'plan' for the 'Doctor' is to fleece gullible rubes like you. ---"

Funny, I was going to say the same thing about you and Obama.

[IndependentVotor]

Sunking278, perhaps you should move to another country. If you are so miserable with your own country and drowning with bleak vision, you do not deserve to remain in America. Your reference to the ignorant masses is rather ironic (as is the whining comment). Do you actually consider yourself an intelligent Christian? Ignorance is revealed by your referencing a 17 year old pregnant girl as stupid and "knocked up" and the father of her child as a "redneck"? Would you suggest she keep her down syndrome baby hidden at home with a nanny? Her children are real humans. What are you? Sarah Palin is a real mother and a real person who acts to improve her city, state, and country rather than whine about it. By the way, McCain and Palin will win this election.
