That Other Rogue VP Nominee

Joe Biden's comment was quite correct. Why aren't we hearing about all the examples of Presidents that have been challenged. Examples are there. Experts have already said and verified statement was quite correct and good chance this will occur. John McCain too, publicly stated transitional period between Presidents is time when enemies may cause a crisis. This is ridiculous attack!

Joe Biden's incendiary comments have been given a complete and total free pass by the mainstream media. Thank you, Jake and Matthew, for at least giving it some coverage here.

Unlike the straw man in the Wizard of Oz, I do have a brain. And I don't trust John McCain, the hot head, to have his finger on the country's nuclear launch button! Forget Palin and any launch codes.

No one is going to remove your posts as long as you don't make up a ridiculous Sarah Palin "scandal-of-the-day". If you do, even in jest and no matter how absurd, some Palin-haters here will pick it up and run with it like it's the gospel truth.

I know because it happened to me earlier...

Whoa! Have I mentioned lately why I have a soft spot in my heart for Joe Biden...?

If the McCain campaign had bothered to vet her or McCaim himself had bothered to ask around more or spend more time with her he would have seen how dangerous she is to him. Now she has managed to not only polarize and divide the Reublican party but is doing the same to our country. What does that tell you?
Just read the Alaskan press and you will read a tale of a politcal opportunist who takes credit for other peoples accomplishments about two minutes before their own press conference and then throws her allies under the bus after she has gotten them to do her bidding.

Palin lied about the Troopergate report when she stated it cleared her of any abuse of power. That is a direct lie.

The Troopergate Report stated she abused her power in the continued attempts to get her ex-brother-in-law fired.

Palin is a liar. I don't trust her at all.

*Troopergate Report

I will not be taken off the blog Obama is wrong for the country

jhw539:
"Of course! CLINTON DID IT! I hear that was the runner up slogan for the Republican party, second only to "It's not our fault we only held total power for a few years." "

Hey cowboy, my statement was non-partisan enough - read the whole thing below. Since you want to lay blame, about 2 years ago McCain said deregulation needed to be examined, and it was ignored by democrat liberals. Also I favor Clinton above Bush Jr. I suppose Obama is your hero, then?

Billw originally said: "Deregulation started in 1977 and was fostered in various forms by both parties. Probably clinton advocating packaging of loans to be traded as commodities was the worst decision."

.

Yes, we should continue putting this kind of Obama story in this kind of title in the important place of ABC web site.

As long as the media is fair to both candiates, Obama should not win.

We've already made mistake in the primary that Hillary was not the nominee, we should not make same mistake again in general election.

Obama should not be president!

Sorry Shippensburg, her and McCain were in Hershey earlier.

Hmmmmmm... I think I saw something fromt the AP about Obama speaking with the Israelies a few weeks/months ago....so, this is not breaking news AND it was a good meeting regarding Iran and Israel!

Obama/Biden 2008!!!!!!

The point that everyone seems to miss is that McCain or Palin (whichever is the president at the time) will be tested as well. Do you think ole John will act as well as he has on the economic crisis or will he just knee jerk us into another war??

Yeah, right! McCain is a hot head himself...I certainly do not want him to be contemplating "to push or not to push" the button! We need, cool, calm and collective Obama to decide!

Obama/Biden 2008!!!

Looks like Obama got caught on tape bashing Israel.

The LA Times is refusing to release the video.

Story is breaking.

Where is your proof that this is even a developing story?

ml: "Apparently he is bashing Israelis, another case of Obama caught in LIES, LIES, LIES."

Actually all we have is a case of the McCain campaign making up random 'maybe' lies about Senator Obama.

hotandspicy: Here's the scoop right from McCain: "A major news organization is intentionally suppressing information that could provide a clearer link between Barack Obama and Rashid Khalidi," said McCain spokesman Michael Goldfarb, citing Obama's friendship with Khalidi, who is now a professor at Columbia University."

Oh NOES! News that Obama may know a professor from a prestigious university!! And he has a - gasp - muslim name! We don't want a president associating with people like that.

I am starting to get a whiff of what it must have been like to live during McCarthyism, where being a law following citizen of America wasn't enough to prove you were a REAL American, and this odor is coming directly from the McCain.

In regards to Khalidi, however, the guilt-by-association game burns John McCain as well.

During the 1990s, while he served as chairman of the International Republican Institute (IRI), McCain distributed several grants to the Palestinian research center co-founded by Khalidi, including one worth half a million dollars.

A 1998 tax filing for the McCain-led group shows a $448,873 grant to Khalidi's Center for Palestine Research and Studies for work in the West Bank. (See grant number 5180, "West Bank: CPRS" on page 14 of this PDF.)

The relationship extends back as far as 1993, when John McCain joined IRI as chairman in January. Foreign Affairs noted in September of that year that IRI had helped fund several extensive studies in Palestine run by Khalidi's group, including over 30 public opinion polls and a study of "sociopolitical attitudes."

Of course, there's seemingly nothing objectionable with McCain's organization helping a Palestinian group conduct research in the West Bank or Gaza. But it does suggest that McCain could have some of his own explaining to do as he tries to make hay out of Khalidi's ties to Obama.

Does 9/11, the Iran-Contra Scandal, Bay of Pig, Vietnam, WWI and WWII, Great Depression, Desert Storm ring a bell. Most presidents have been testes in some shape of fashion during their early stages of the presidency. Especially, when you are not following the footsteps of the incumbent. It is absurd for McCain supporters to think that a erratic, confused, arrogant, foolish 72 yr old man wtih a VP with less compentency to run a country than that plumber is not going to be tested.
