Democrats on Hill Worried About Biden at Debate

Wake up America - Joe Biden is a has been. A seasoned politician would know
who the president was during 1929 and
even a 5th grader would know there was no TV in that era. I admire Sarah Palin for her honesty. I prefer someone saying that they will find out the answer to that question, rather than bulling their way through like Biden. McCain and Palin will lead us in the right direction. Obama's friends and past church affiliations frighten me. GO AMERICAN.

Vote for Obama likes voting for another idiot who has a different body but has the same problem like Bush does = no experience, no judgment!

Biden, slam that Pitbull Wimp with the biggest smile on your face..

I left DNC for good because of the way Obama followers attacked Hillary which disgusted me greatly!

McCain/Palin ticket= More Gloom & Doom

Foreclosure, Excuse me. But Joe Biden was NOT chosen for anything other than he was the Clinton's choice to doom Obama. Obama didn't have the ##### to choose Kathleen Sibelius as he wanted and he didn't have the ##### to stand up and announce Sibelius over Hillary Clinton. So he chose the Clinton's Joe Biden. And Biden was selected for two reasons: he was a "safe" older, whiter Clinton Crony with a history of sticking his foot in his mouth. A vote for Obama/Biden is a vote for another Clinton administration.

Palin was chosen because she was the smartest, most dynamic female choice for Vice President. McCain showed America that he's not afraid to choose a woman and not afraid to make tough choices and stand by them. Your Obama boy has no chance in November.

In a true forum, sure Biden should be able to go for Palin's jugular. This isn't a normal forum thanks to Obama's pig/lipstick comment. While we all know that he wasn't truly referring to Palin, the image was out there and it has to be one of the stupidest things he could have said. He essentially set the limitations and tone that Biden now has to abide by in the VP Debate. The GOP did not ask Biden to go easy on Palin but he'd better or he'll be seen as sexist bully thanks to Obama's already blundering. Now, because of Biden's loooong history of verbal mistakes, foul-ups, bleeps and blunders, plus the Oh So Recent history gaffe he made with Katie Couric, Biden has to watch his p's and q's double time. Palin has been undergoing intense preparation for the debate and the Dems are biting their nails like nervous parents waiting up on prom night. As for the Schmoe who is alluding to Obama's substantial lead... if there is ONE thing McCain knows is that early bumps and leads can be demolished in a weekend. He proved that when he announced Palin's nom shortly after Obama concluded his LoveMe Fest. You think the Maverick can't continue to pull the rug out from under Obama? You people were totally looking the other way full of the glory of your messiah, the Grand Poohbah Obama. McCain stole in and snatched your prayer rugs out from under all of you. So Obama's ahead. Big deal. What McCain did before, he can do again. This VP Debate will only showcase Palin's strengths and show Joe Biden doing his best to keep his feet out of his mouth.

It is ridiculous that we need to have a discussion about treating Palin with kid gloves for the upcoming debate. If Biden were debating Hillary Clinton, Diane Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi or Condoleeza Rice, then, we wouldn't be having this discussion. If Palin were as strong, intelligent, articulate and knowledgeable as the Republicans try to paint her, then, she would be able to hold her own against ANYONE in a debate. She is running for the 2nd highest position in our country. Shouldn't she be able to handle a debate? The GOP knows that she isn't ready for the VP position, hell by now, most people know that she isn't ready. The vice presidential candidates are important in this election as McCain is old and has battled cancer and Obama could be a larger target because of his skin color. How could McCain possibly be putting 'country first' with Palin as his running mate? It's more like 'evangelicals first'. The love affair with Palin speeds faster to its demise with every interview she has. At the Repub convention she came out throwing punches, well, now i hope that she can take them too. Forget the kid glove treatment, it is time for the boxing gloves.

I left the Republican Party not because they stay united but that they stick together regardless of whether it is prudent to do so. Even at the risk of seriously damaging main street they would rather stick together and support a lost cost than sacrifice for their country. Don't make me have second thoughts about this party also. Too often your group can't remain united on anything. You can agree on 29 of 30 issues and yet splinter off because someone doesn't get their way. From the Republicans who take it to extreme on one side many Democrats take it far left. Not every demand can me met. Some are too spoiled to give in to achieve a common goal. How about just supporting Mr. Biden and keep your doubts to yourselves. It's not Mr. Biden I'm worried about. He'll do fine. It's the people who claim to be his supporters that worry me!

The VP debate is pointless.
Obama now leads by at least 8%, growing by the moment. Mccain is history.

Patriot -

I don't understand why people try to defend her by saying she's only running for VP. That's true, but given Senator McCain's age and health history, the chance that she might have to take over the presidency due to an emergency is greater than it might normally be. That means Senator McCain should've been very cautious in choosing his running mate.

I certainly hope Senator McCain stays in good health, but he should've made sure the country is in good hands in a worst case scenario. In my opinion, she is just not qualified.

sorry, workingman54, i meant Caroline.

workingman54: She is running for vp. Not president, like somebody else we all know who has, as McCain put it, proposed spending plans of almost 1,000,000 dollars for every day that he has been in the senate.

SO if the MSM says Obama 'won" the first debate because he didn't screw up and "held his own" therefore "tie goes to rookie",, I WONDER will those same standards apply to VP race. If Palin, holds her own, will she be declared default winner by Obama-loving media????

workingman54

Yes, it DOES matter whether or not she has foreign policy knowledge in an age when we're at war. And it DOES matter that she has an understanding of economics when the stock market dropped 777 points today. Her interviews with Couric showed that she is out of her depth.

She may be a charismatic, hard-working, intelligent woman, but she is not ready to be VP and potentially the president. Not by a long shot.

Governor Palin is a working mother who decided she needed to get involved.First the PTA,then City Council, Mayor, and then Governor. She rose against all odds of having a chance. She fought right and wrong and even went against her own party when she saw corruption. She shook up the status quo. Shes an average American women that wanted to make a better world. Shes accomplished more in her short career in politics than most people in a lifetime of Government. It doesnt matter how much she knows about foreign policy, or how many world leaders she knows by name. Shes very smart and intelligent and is a quick learner. She knows how to get things accomplished, unlike Congress. She is an average American that can change Washington for the better. When she sees corruption, she conquers it. I do not want a VP with a political science education. Its time for an average American to change Government.Governor Palin, be yourself in the Debates and dont pretend to know everything thats asked of you. Show the true you like you have in Alaska. America needs you.

PALIN'S AN AIRHEAD from LA LA LAND! She and McCain together make me Cringe & Gag!

I look at this blog and I see lots of sheeple blaming either a rep or a dem specifically for all that is wrong. I could go on and on to speak about everything that is up a creek at this point like the lack of moral compass in this country. We all need to unite on a sense of common sense which none of our representatives have. I tend to vote republican but I also am pro-choice. I look at all the issues very closely and realize that just cause I lean in one direction doesnt mean that is the way I will vote cause I choose not to be a sheeple and just follow the herd. There are too many people that I talk with on both sides of the fence who just dont get it. The out of touch mentality in this country is everything that is wrong and I ask all of you to step back and think about what you really agree with when you listen to the candidates. Just cause you are in the party doesnt mean you cant question it. Wake up America, the world is not black and white and every issue has a lot of different sides to it. As citizens maybe we need to quit pointing fingers and take a look at ourselves cause lets face it, most americans are ignorant and just want to blame someone else for their short comings. The people are also to blame for this economy failing. Why would you think you can get a 250k mortgage for 1k per month. My 100k mortg costs 850 so for another 150 I can get a house worth 1.5x's more. Sounds like a deal, ill take it. Oh darn I didnt read the fine print and now lost my home, like red foreman always says.

I think Palin is going to blow off Biden...

I'm a socialist liberal who believes paying taxes is patriotic, man-made global warming is real (even though many scientists think it isn't), that govt funded healthcare is a right not an option, that community organizers have executive experience, that ACORN is totally legit and has been framed for voter fraud, that Pelosi, Frank and Reid are non-partisan, that all people are victims of this or that and need to be helped by the government. I'll be voting for Obama/Biden because they match my beliefs to a tee.
