Political Punch

I copied the below directly from the constitution. Article I is on the Legislative branch. Biden said it was the Executive. It also clearly implies that the President Pro Temp only leads the Senate when the VP is not there. It also only gives an example of this when he takes over for the US President. John Adams was always present when the Senate was in session.

"The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.

The Senate shall chuse their other Officers, and also a President pro tempore, in the absence of the Vice President, or when he shall exercise the Office of President of the United States."

GROW UP SARAH. DO THAT AND YOU WILL VOTE FOR MCCAIN/PALIN. THE ONLY ONES YOU CAN REALLY TRUST. YOU WILL ALSO REALIZE THAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS A JOKE. GO SARAHHHHHHHHHHHH

Biden defenitely did so well. He is awsesome.
Palin did so well on reciting was she was asked to memorized. My grade 6 students are almost comparable to her.

Nice catch Beth,

Biden can't be trusted. He has lied too much.

I can still see Joe Biden's smirk and his long winded sighs at the debate last night.

Biden was clearly upset. His performance was "palin" comparison to Sarah Palin's dominant win in the debate last night.

The more Joe let out a sigh, the more he lied. And it was numerous times for both.

I like how Biden admitted Obama needs him to sit in on every meeting to advise Obama.

Obama is evidently weak.

Biden says he talks to the people at "Katie's Diner"......except that place closed during Clinton's Presidency.

Laughing my tail off. Just posted comment few minutes ago and it has been deleted. So much for freedom of expression on this site. I had made a comment about truth and where to go and get it so they didnt like what I said so they deleted my comment. Thats ok though because I never pay any attention to this site anyway. And now I know why I haven't.

And this, no doubt, from a liberal that thinks they stand against sexism, not to mention some misguided notion that Alaskans somehow do not qualify for office. Perhaps the commentor should check off comments with Mom or Grandmother before looking foolish.

".....for a folksy babe reciting scripts who's only obsession seems to be Alaska, of all places?"

comment from below

You guys should really READ THE CONSTITUTION before you get it wrong.

The VP is discussed in Article I and II.

The VP presides over the Senate as President of it but doesn't run it. The majority party runs the Senate business.

The VP is rarely in the Senate chamber as a President pro tempore is selected to "preside" in place of the VP.

The VP only votes to break ties. The VP also certifies the official vote count of the U.S. Electoral College.

We know that the economy was badly bruised by the "fairness" of loaning money to people who cannot repay it. Do we need more "fairness" in the economy by driving all of the capital underground or out of the country.

Go Palin!

I liked the part where the word FALSE was stamped over Bidens hairplugs

Sarah was great! She got my vote

Undecided no more.

Jake, why is nobody commenting on Palin's idea or desire to "more power to the Vice-President"?

Isn't that a somewhat scary thing to say for a folksy babe reciting scripts who's only obsession seems to be Alaska, of all places?

What would Palin do with "more power"? What kind of power?

Please look into that. It was one of the very few interesting things she said last night.

Lots of fact checking, but not on this one. Obama & Biden & other Dems keep claiming that what led to the current financial crisis was deregulation of Wall St over the last eight years. What deregulation? It's a massive charge with no specifics whatsoever. I'm curious: Do they actually have something in mind or is this a complete snow job?

The constitution is vague on a number of points. That is one of them.

As far as implications go, she didn't imply that at all.

Obama's tax policies are not class warfare per Biden.

The rich did well the last few years.

Others not as much.

It's only "fair" we take from one group to give it to another he stated.

What is the definition of class warfare again?

You betcha!!

Biden was smug with a large number of the "facts" he stated were just plain wrong.
14 major points as a matter of fact.

Meanwhile Palin didn't have any errors of fact.

How can Dems ignore this?

They want to.

Lets really destroy our economy under obama. Then we can take back our country in four years.

Dem for Mccain
