Biden has always been passionate about our troops and veterans. He calls it our "sacred obligation'"

Yes Joe, let's bring our brave sons and daughters home now. Let's do it, let's roll.

Obama/Biden 2008 - 2016

The Iraq "War to Nowhere" should never have begun in the first place.

We neeed to support our troops. Which means get them out. NOW.

Obama. A better day lies ahead.

Former CBS anchorman Dan Rather says there is a huge double-standard in the media when it comes to coverage the Barack Obama campaign receives, which is clearly made evident in the lack of scrutiny given to comments Obama’s vice presidential running mate Sen. Joe Biden made earlier this week.

On Sunday, Biden said that electing Obama president will generate “an international crisis” within the first six months of his new administration because America’s enemies will want to test Obama.

“Watch — we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy,” Biden assured. “I don’t know what the decision is going to be, but I promise you it will occur. As a student of history, and having served with seven presidents, I guarantee you it is going to happen.”

Rather, speaking today on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” cable program, told host Joe Scarborough that if Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin had said such a thing about her running mate John McCain, it would be “the top story in every major American paper and on every network.”

Rather says the Obama campaign “can’t be happy” about Biden’s comments and is surprised there haven’t been more political ramifications to Biden’s gaffe.

“Certainly if Sarah Palin had said this, it would be above the fold in most newspapers today," Rather said. "But let me point out that what happens on the Internet may be as important, or more important, than what’s happening in newspapers,” he added, referring to the spotty mainstream media coverage.

“I’ll be surprised if this doesn’t have a run on the Internet, because if Sarah Palin had said this, the newspapers would have jumped all over it, and so would the major television outlets.”

Biden we Love you and our Troops bring them home when you and Obama win!

Palin is making mockery of the US Intelligence level and John McCain should be ashame of himself for allowing himself to choose a running mate base on looks...

Telling a friend that the love of his life is a phony and dangerous is not likely to get him to change his mind. But it may cost you a friend. It is much the same story with true believers in Barack Obama. They have made up their minds and not only don't want to be confused by the facts, they resent being told the facts. An e-mail from a reader mentioned trying to tell his sister why he was voting against Obama but, when he tried to argue some facts, she cut him short: "You don't like him and I do!" she said. End of discussion. When one thinks of all the men who have put their lives on the line in battle to defend and preserve this country, it is especially painful to think that there are people living in the safety and comfort of civilian life who cannot be bothered to find out the facts about candidates before voting to put the fate of this nation, and of generations yet to come, in the hands of someone chosen because they like his words or style. Of the four people running for president and vice president on the Republican and Democratic tickets, the one we know the least about is the one leading in the polls — Barack Obama. Some of Sen. Obama's most fervent supporters could not tell you what he has actually done on such issues as crime, education, or financial institutions like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, much less what he plans to do to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear nation supplying nuclear weapons to the international terrorist networks that it has supplied with other weapons.
The magic word "change" makes specifics unnecessary. If things are going bad, some think that what is needed is blank-check "change." But history shows any number of countries in crises worse than ours, where "change" turned problems into catastrophes. In czarist Russia, for example, the economy was worse than ours is today and World War I was going far worse for the Russians than anything we have faced in Iraq. Moreover, Russians had nothing like the rights of Americans today. So they went for "change." That "change" brought on a totalitarian regime that made the czars' despotism look like child's play. The communists killed more people in one year than the czars killed in more than 90 years, not counting the millions who died in a government-created famine in the 1930s. Other despotic regimes in China, Cuba, and Iran were similarly replaced by people who promised "change" that turned out to be even worse than what went before. Yet, many today seem to assume that if things are bad, "change" will make them better. Specifics don't interest them nearly as much as inspiring rhetoric and a confident style. But many 20th century leaders with inspiring rhetoric and great self-confidence led their followers or their countries into utter disasters. These ranged from Jim Jones who led hundreds to their deaths in Jonestown to Hitler and Mao who led millions to their deaths. What specifics do we know about Barack Obama's track record that might give us some clue as to what kinds of "changes" to expect if he is elected?
We know that he opposed the practice of putting violent young felons on trial as adults. We know that he was against a law forbidding physicians to kill a baby that was born alive despite an attempt to abort it. We know that Obama opposed attempts to put stricter regulations on Fannie Mae — and that he was the second largest recipient of campaign contributions from Fannie Mae. We know that this very year his campaign sought the advice of disgraced former Fannie Mae CEO Franklin Raines. Fannie Mae and Raines were at the heart of "the mess in Washington" that Barack Obama claims he is going to clean up under the banner of "change." The public has been told very little about what this man with the wonderful rhetoric has actually done. What we knows enough to make us wonder about what we don't know. Or it ought to. For the true believers — which includes many in the media — it is just a question of whether you like him or not.

Mark today Biden was talking about a soldier-Both campaigns have had their gaffes and they have been covered fairly by the media. I want to hear about how the war effects many people, home foreclosures, health insurance, how people are going to put food on their table, heat their homes-We don't have time for pettiness-we need real solutions.

The Republican party is the party of division. The Democratic party is the party of inclusion. The republican party relies on division to win elections. That's why they always use wedge issues to pit one group of americans against another. They pit black against white, straight vs gay, well off vs struggling american, old vs young, city vs suburb/rural. big cities vs small towns, pro gun vs anti gun, pro life vs pro choice,south vs north etc. That's the republican playbook, they have to pit us against each other to win and they have become experts at it. Republicans need to foster division in order to stay in power to continue their policies of helping corporations and the wealthy while ignoring struggling americans. It's up to voters to punish them for ruining our great nation and their behavior of putting corporations and greed over struggling americans.

Unite and work together. Vote Democratic.

Nov 4, 2008 Judgment Day.

If BIDEN is so anti corporation, why is Delaware a magnet for corporations?
No TAXES. Keep Joe talking, only helps McCain.

Oh, here we go again. Biden is going to cry. He sobbed during his address to his son's unit deploying to Iraq and now he's going to get all teary-eyed because he's talking to the father of a soldier. If he's so concerned, why doesn't he visit soldiers in the hospitals and VAs across the country? Obama won't do it because cameras aren't allowed. And Obama doesn't go anywhere or do anything without a CAMERA!

Biden's too wimpy to be V.P. and he's one of the good old do-nothing Washington boys.

This misbegotten WAR must END!

It's breaking the heart of our nation and has destroyed our image around the world. Chant USA all you want McCain people - Chant in the graveyard of our brave soldiers who died!

When the Obama crowd shouts USA - it's with love and HOPE for our nation - not egoism and hatred of muslims or African-Americans, or immigrants. I'll put my HOPEFUL USA against their HATEFUL USA ANYDAY!

USA! USA! USA! END THIS WAR!

Mark Garnett:

That is because Palin has lost all credibility in the race. Mind you, I really found this Biden gaffe hilarious. But this has a serious tinge, and you can tell that the McCain/Palin campaign, though clearly beaming at this fortuitious opening, did not know what to do with the piece. It is serious stuff. Granted Biden said Obama invited testing, he also expressed wholehearted belief and trust in him, saying he has a "steel of spine". This is why the charge of McCain along the lines of "Biden does not trust Obama, says he is inexperienced" does not stick (unless you quote only a snippet of the Biden statement, the most controversial parts, which is what McC/P did).

In this way, the issue which would have raised the level of discourse to McCain's advantage, turned into a soundbite. Because it is out-of-context, now it is largely disregarded except by die-hards. You need to capture the interest of the independents. But if day after day, you show them how unserious and incapable you and your campaign has been, then when the other side does slip, they will still be taken with more seriousness.

Sophia:

You are not serious when you say that both camps have been covered fairly by the media! If somebody like Dan Rather even admitts that there is a double standard, that is saying something. Remember Dan Rather was so intent on bringing down George Bush he lost his job because of the bad stories he ran durring the 2004 elections. Dan Rather of all people agreeing that that media has a double standard.

Now I ask you Sophia did you see the interview with Palin and the CNN reporter? If you did, the reporter clearly agreeded with her and even laughed while saying she was right.

Last night on MSNBC all they talked about was how Palin goofed on her explaination the VP role in the Senate. Now please tell me, what is more of an issue a VP Nominee saying his running mate will cause an international situation or a VP Nominee stating the VP roll in the senate?

Not one of the mainstream media have reported this ON AIR! If Palain would have said what Joe Biden said, it would have been the lead story ON AIR for NBC/CBS/ABC/MSNBC! Fair my AS*

Mark - I think you are assuming that the majority of us aren't very intelligent. You can make the argument on both sides of the fence about how people are chosing how to vote. I have friends that don't like Obama, so they are voting for McCain regardless of what they think of either one's policies. While I do consider myself an Obama supporter, I also have done quite a bit of research into what their plans are. I've read independent reviews of their plans. I certainly don't expect that either will be able to fix all the issue, but I am voting on how their plans are laid out and their visions for America. The trickle down economic plan of the last 8 years has given the wealthy in this country unprecendented growth while the middle class (of which I'm a part of) has lost income. We now trail behind most industrialized nations in the world in terms of the gap between incomes in the lower/middle class to the upper class. We're moving towards a two class system if we continue down this path. Considering our economy is based on consumer spending, lessening the buying power of the middle class probably isn't the best way to move us back in the right direction. Also, look a health care for a minute. I live in John McCain's healthcare plan at the moment as some of my healthcare benefits are considered income. That takes quite a bit out of my take home pay and leaves me with less to spend every month. In my world, that doesn't work either. So I've looked at their plans, read the reviews and made the choice based on what their ideas of what they want to do in the future are. Experience can be nice, but is not always the best measure of a person's ability to make informed intelligent decision. I feel Obama has those qualities.

chuck:

Imagine this scenario.

In a Republican fund raiser, Palin tells guests that McCain will invite testing by our enemies, who will generate a crisis. She says they will test McCain's mettle and asks them to support the administration when they implement not necessarily popular decisions, but what they think are the right ones. She convinces them that McCain gets it, that he has a "steel of spine".

OK. So what? We will just say she is pandering to the base. Shrug it off. No big deal. Here is my worry though. When (in our scenario) Palin says they will act on not necessarily popular decisions, but what they think are the right ones, I remember Bush and his military policy -- which McCain absolutely supports (especially now, emboldened by the success of the surge). I remember the protracted war in Iraq and how long before we got to the "right" decision when McCain assumed us it will be quick and easy.

In short, in our scenario, we will actually realize that Oh, Palin is capable of serious thought after all. However, we will still be reminded of McCain's irresponsible, Bush-style military policy. In any case, it will still not work. The comparison of this Biden gaffe to a hypothetical Palin slip is still to McCain/Palin's disadvantage, but Palin will gain some gravitas.

It is funny to me how people spin these comments from the Republican and Democratic campains I am now immuned and have fianlly turned off this reterick , I gues the only thing I care about is which one do you believe will provide me as a recently retired worker the benifits I earned by working over the last 45 years and having read as much as I can about both canidates policies and thinking about wheather I think they will actually be able to get this done . I have finally decided this week to vote for Obama for President I just believe that he can get it done and McCain has nothing to offer me.

Compare this Biden puff-piece with Rick Klien's latest attack on Palin. Hee hee! Good think for Klien journalists don't need a license to practice their "profession."

As all of you far left radicals bask in the glow of your new MESSIAH, I want you to remember the following:
1) Regardless of what Obama is currently saying we ALL will see our payroll taxes go up, a new 45% death tax, a reduction in deductions, a temporary ONE YEAR $1500 tax break, NOT A CUT. (For proof, please check out Barney Franks comments. He said forget the deficit, we can grow it now with massive NEW spending, then tax folks more later on to make up for it.)

2) Sen. Biden states and PROMISES that Obama will be tested by an International incident, maybe an attack on American soil, maybe Iran on Israel… And Biden says, not knowing it was being recorded, that WE WILL NEED YOUR SUPPORT BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL NOT LIKE THE RESPONSE FROM OBAMA! What does that mean? Will he allow our security to be dictated by the U.N.? We Israel be attacked and we just “watch it happen”? Why very little MSM coverage? ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN did NOT even report Biden’s comments on their news… DOES ANYONE on this site believe that Palin would have gotten the same pass? Dan Rather, a far left lib, even said that the MSM was in the tank for Obama and this story is huge and should have gotten coverage and demanded answers to what exactly Biden said.

3) And remember my Liberal friends, when the “fairness doctrine” is imposed Conservative Talk Radio will be dead, and freedom of speech, which even most Democrats believe in, will have been eroded. Maybe some rights that you Democrats find important will be the next in line to go. Maybe guns and some Liberals do hunt. Maybe freedom to assemble and we know how Libs love to demonstrate. The little children’s choirs singing praises to THE LEADER are just the beginning. Obama plans to “Change the World”, but he has a very divided Country and 44% of us do not trust him to protect America, American values nor Freedom of Speech.

I wish you all well with your Messiah, I for one, along with 44% of the Americans that still have PRIDE and RESPECT for America will be praying that it’s not the end of a wonderful Country.

Wow...what a beautiful touching story. Biden is such a wonderful, caring guy. PLEASE!!! Nice try, ABC. You have three hit pieces on Palin and a FLUFF piece on Biden just days after his UNBELIEVABLE comments about an international incident if Obama is elected. This is getting insane. No media bias?? Yeah, Right!!

Obama & DNC Admit All Allegations of Federal Court Lawsuit - Obama’s “Not” Qualified to be President
Obama Should Immediately Withdraw his Candidacy for President
For Immediate Release: - 10/21/08 - Complete contact details and pdfs of this press release and motions filed by plaintiff Berg today are at the end of this article

(Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania – 10/21/08) - Philip J. Berg, Esquire, the Attorney who filed suit against Barack H. Obama challenging Senator Obama’s lack of “qualifications” to serve as President of the United States, announced today that Obama and tbe DNC “ADMITTED”, by way of failure to timely respond to Requests for Admissions, all of the numerous specific requests in the Federal lawsuit. Obama is “NOT QUALIFIED” to be President and therefore Obama must immediately withdraw his candidacy for President and the DNC shall substitute a qualified candidate. The case is Berg v. Obama, No. 08-cv-04083.

Berg stated that he filed Requests for Admissions on September 15, 2008 with a response by way of answer or objection had to be served within thirty [30] days. No response to the Requests for Admissions was served by way of response or objection. Thus, all of the Admissions directed to Obama and the DNC are deemed “ADMITTED.” Therefore, Obama must immediately withdraw his candidacy for President.
