Political Punch

"people who "serve" the public ... "
-----
Politicians -- none more than Biden/Obama -- mostly "serve" the people to the sharks.

Meanwhile, every apparatchik from city council on up enjoys publicly-paid health care -- the US Congress, with its single-deigit approval rating and its do-nothing (except for terrorism and war) permanent campaign, have health care FOR LIFE for their entire families -- pasha-level compensation, and some -- Obama, prince of FISA, for instance -- pick up mob money on the side.

Welcome to our world, Elizabeth!

What unpleasant people there are on here. I hope none of the public servants -- yes, people who "serve" the public and handle a lot of tough issues so that folks like you have time and freedom to sit around and play darts with their names and reputations -- never wander on here and see how little appreciation they are given. And that goes for Obama, Biden, McCain, Palin and the rest. I truly think many of you should get some help for anger management ... and empty lives.

"The Dems want this tool one unqualified heartbeat away from the Presidency?"

If this ticket to hell were elected, does anybody really doubt that Biden wouldn't be "a heartbeat away" for LONG?

Better to vote for McCain and hope for Palin.

The Dems want this tool one unqualified heartbeat away from the Presidency?

Way to go Biden.... Osama is very hard to get Wright. Not voting for him...ever.

Palin does scare me because she looks to me like a religious extremist who wants to inject her beliefs into Affairs of State, and teach Chrisitian mythology in our schools. I don't like any form of religious extremism, be it Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or whatever. I don't care at all if you practice your own beliefs, but don't try to impose them on me or anyone else who isn't interested. If she and McCain should get elected then she will be catapaulted onto the national stage to start her down the road with all of her ambitions of injecting religion into national policy.

"Quite the contrast from plastic fantasic Palin who cites running a town into debt as her executive experience and a fictionalized stint as head of the Alaskan National Guard in charge of our national defense."

Other than the fact that you don't seem to be able to write original material, Ryan, you do need to notice who is heading the tickets.

One is an experienced military commander and Senator with decades of legislation passed. The other is a Harvard grad with a long history of muscling his opponents out of the race and otherwise, continuously running for office.

One is a man who resisted torture. The other is a man who went to work with the very same people who endorsed the torture.

One is a master of strategy and persistence when getting tough laws passed to reduce spending. The other is a man who used pork barrel to give his racist minister a retirement mansion and his wife a six figure salary.

Need I go on?

Sarah Palin is really the least of your problems in this campaign but she scares you bad. That is a theme in the Obama campaign: push the women back toward the kitchen or otherwise demean them until they can't fight back. Now that's a buggin' problem.

Obama is being done in by his own supporters.

Did anyone notice that this article only presented what the writer considered to be goofy or negative stuff? I've heard Joe speak several times and there has aways been a lot more substance to it. Sure there is some clowning around in between, but that's just Joe. He loves politics and campaigning, and his staff is always going a bit crazy trying to get him to leave because he will stay until the last question has been answered.

In the last 5 days, the media has come up with all kinds of negative stories about Sarah Palin, all of which have been proven to be either outright false (Palin is a secessionist!) or premature (Troopergate investigation whic is still ongoing). They did, however, manage to drag her 17 year old daughter's pregnancy into the national spotlight. Proud moment for the media there.

In the 12 days since Biden was selected, how many articles have you seen about Biden's lobbyist son and his connection to MBNA (who profited handsomely from that bankruptcy legislation pushed by Biden)? How about biden's gaughter who was arrensted for assaulting a police officer?

That's what I thought.

Biden received less votes in his 2008 Primary U.S. Presdential bid than Palin received when she won her election to be mayor of Wasilla, Alaska.

Keep Joe Biden talking; some day there will be a cure for foot-in-mouth disease.

During the last 18 months, Sarah Palin has been running a state, while Obama has been running a traveling rockshow (or rather, his campaign manager has been... all Obama has to do is show up and give stirring speeches).

I like how Obama is claiming that running for president is the kind of experience that qualifies him to BE the president.

Nice circular logic there. Not much of a deep thinker, is he?

"I didn’t want to hold people up, so I started jogging."

Sounds like he "held people up" for quite a while in Palm Beach County, though, to hear about what a virile guy he is.

As for his presidential candidate's "steel", it's been conspicuously absent from his school days, in every area but getting himself to the top -- FISA, Iraq, offshore drilling -- and living above his means with the help of mobsters.

His two aneurysms many years ago
may have caused some permanent
brain impairment.

Of course Biden confused Obama with Osama. So do most Americans. The two men are very similar.

He's a joke.

HEE HAW

of course Obama would have his back. Obama would be covering in fear behind Joe. Someone should ask Biden if he would attend United Trinity with Pastor Wright for 20 years.

You really have gotta love Biden. So much for the polished, spun world of modern politics. He is refreshing, and is so obviously enjoying himself.

Geez, this guy is embarrassing. I'm so glad I re-registered as an Independent. Otherwise, I'd feel obligated to defend this stuff.

Love the nervous aides trying to get him to shut up and Joe's Obama resume building is priceless

"“Let me tell you. If you’re looking for a very sophisticated, Harvard graduate who went to Columbia undergrad and was president of the Law Review, he’s totally intellectual. Baby, you ain’t seen nothing yet. This guy is steel. This guy is steel, and I assure you that.”"

Yeah, that's exactly what voters want in a President.

Too funny.

Motor-mouth Joe Sixpack sounds
pretty disoriented in this
Dispatch No. 7.

If Biden was the Republican nominee for vice president, all the libs on here would be saying that he's dumber than Quayle (and, actually, he is).

Biden is simply fantastic. He has that common touch.

Quite the contrast from plastic fantasic Palin who cites running a town into debt as her executive experience and a fictionalized stint as head of the Alaskan National Guard in charge of our national defense.

I clicked on that link in the article and half expected it to be singing Biden.

Maybe by November he will get his running mate's name right.

Okay, new plan: Let Biden move in next door to George 11:22:02 and put Hillary in. She actually IS more like us. She doesn't have to say BABY all the time either. We get it, keep talking plans baby, 'cause you are still the one for a lot of us Hillary!

s.b., that's comparing apples and oranges. Small-town politics and national politics are just not the same thing. For one thing, how many of those 7,000 people are Palin's relatives? How many people in a burg that small would even want the job?

I wish Joe Biden was my neighbor. He's the type of man who you can trust with the key to your house when you're away on a trip. He's a good man and will serve us well as Obama's VP.

Wow. For the last time, I love this guy. He's exactly what the ticket needed.

Obama = ugh um er ahh um well uh Present. Biden = a bawl baby. Both = Disaster. McCain/Palin = experience,reform, Country First!

s.b. -- great point!

I love Biden. I'm sure seniors and blue collar family voters are also loving him.

Joe Biden got less votes in both his presidential runs combined than Sarah Palin got for Mayor of that small town in Alaska pop 7000. That says something about his qualifications for President and Vice President. I'll take Sarah Palin over this dufus anyday!

Steve_NJ:

Ignore the rumors coming from the fringe left web sites.

these arent too bad jake. the one about the young girls avoiding boys 'til 30 - that was a good one. the latest have been pretty boring.

Word has leaked that Sarah Pawlenty (Palin) will drop out before her speech.

Can any source please confirm?

McCain is toast.

Everyone says that Joe is so smart on foreign affairs. But he wanted to give a blank check ($200 million) to Iran to prove we didn't hate Arabs, apparently not understanding Iranians are Persian, not Arabian.

He's been wrong on nearly every issue between the Cold War and the War on Terror. He wanted American troops in the Balkans, for goodness sake.

haha, that Joe, always entertaining. But has he gotten anything done recently? How about all those years in Washington?
