TOLD YOU So — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 17:25:17 GMT

GOPers like Pat Buchanan and Tucker Carlson have stated on MSNBC that McCain does not have any issues to run on except to attack Obama.

Is that how a great country like USA will pick its leader who will also be the leader of the free world? One whose only platform is to attack an opponent and not offer any solutions to problems facing real people?

McCain's people need to get a clue. Sen Biden is no passive target. He shoots back from the hip, immediately, and on target. Plus - he knows more about foreign affairs than probably anyone in the country on either side of the political spectrum. McCain's folks need to set their tennacles elsewhere.

Exactly !!
Things are said in the heat of the primary

Biden is sounding better and better.....
But, FR says he's already ruled out the VP position:

So in other words, Biden was criticizing Obama a year ago for coming to the right position. And McCain got to the same position when? Oh yeah, earlier this week.

With the nominating races over, Biden like the rest of us must choose between the two. Even if it weren't for party allegience, which one do we think he'd pick?

Pat, Boston, MA — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 17:35:15 GMT

As far as using patriotism as a talking point, please keep in mind it is an old old trick. And quite an unpatriotic to do.

I think as far as foreign policy, this is where Senator Obama's message of change comes in to play. Our foreign policy needs to be refined towards peace, not war. We used to be so admired around the world following WWII. But little by little we have squandered all that.

Some people believe it all started with Winston Churchill's Iron Curtain speech a few years after WWII.

James Bovard
October 2203

"The Beirut debacles turned the U.S. role in Lebanon into a flash point in the 1984 presidential campaign. Since the evidence of US negligence and bungling was overwhelming, preemptive smears were the tactic of choice. In the vice presidential candidate debate on October 11, George H. W. Bush denounced Democratic candidate Walter Mondale and his vice presidential pick, Geraldine Ferraro: "For somebody to suggest, as our opponents have, that these men died in shame, they had better not tell the parents of those young marines." Neither Mondale nor Ferraro had said that the Marines "died in shame." Bush denounced Mondale for running a "mean-spirited campaign": "We’ve seen Walter Mondale take a human tragedy in the Middle East and try to turn it to personal political advantage."

But Mondale’s criticisms of the Reagan administration’s failures in Lebanon were less strident than Reagan’s criticisms of Jimmy Carter for the Iran hostage crisis during the 1980 presidential campaign. Reagan and Bush Sr. were able to play the ‘patriotism card’ against the Democrats. The Beirut debacles did nothing to deter Reagan’s chroniclers from canonizing him. The U.S. intervention into Beirut did nothing to stabilize or pacify the region. Now, 20 years later, the main lesson that Bush seems to draw from Beirut is the need to "be tough." Bush declared on September 7: "In the past, the terrorists have cited the examples of Beirut and Somalia, claiming that if you inflict harm on Americans, we will run from a challenge. In this, they are mistaken."

The issue is not whether the US runs from a challenge: but whether political leaders have any incentive to learn from the deaths of American soldiers. And judging from Bush’s challenge to those who are killing Americans in Iraq – "Bring ’em on!" – there is scant hope for the learning curve of the current Oval Office occupant."

Let's see.....comments made during a primary fight or a 95% voting record with the Bush administration. A record from which the Senator has been unable to distance himself from.

As for primary comments...Ron Paul in more eloquent language than I can use said on many occassions that McCain did not know what he was talking about. Romney called him a flip-flopper. McCain said the economy was basically sound and the he supported the policies of the President.

He's still trying to run from those remarks, his legilative record and the lack of any plan to remedy any problem in America. All I hear is what he said yesterday "We'll figure it out".

This is no big deal. Why? They were both running for the POTUS and campaigns say things like that. While some harbor a gudge, Senators/lawyers will disagree, then go have lunch together. Actually, these very comments are reasons why Obama will likely pick Biden.

With the foreign affairs topic covered, Obama will pivot to economics where he has a huge advantage over McCain. One of the things the media (and the GOOP)will have difficulty doing is creating a wedge between Obama and his supporters. Obama and his team will stay focused, no drama, listen to one another, be creative. By the way, I haven't heard from Axelrod lately. I bet he is creating more Obama ads.

Paul Miller, Woodbridge, VA — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 17:41:02 GMT

Told You So - the McCain camp has made no pretenses about its strategy to turn the campaign into a referendum on Obama.

With evidence mounting that McCain is either forgetful or ignorant of current world affairs, I can see why.

That aside, and despite his promises to the contrary, McCain is setting out on an all negative, all the time campaign. He needs to ramp up fear among independents that this newcomer really may be too risky, and if McCain fails to do so, he loses badly.

There's precedent for it. Consider 2004, when instead of being a referendum on the incumbent, Republicans successfully turned the campaign into a question of whether Kerry had any integrity, character, etc.

However the question is whether it will work two times in a row. I'm guessing it won't, because independents may just have had their fill of that approach, at least for a while.

That's right. Biden will confront anyone when he thinks they are wrong whether Mccain or Obama. Biden criticized Obama during the primary and now criticizes McCain and his Republican surrogates. So.

Now tell me. Which of the two do you think that Biden agrees with and supports more even though having criticized both. Bingo!

Biden would be a good VP. Once Obama is elected as VP Biden would not be afraid to let Obama know what he thinks whether he agreed with him or not, and Obama would listen to Biden. Especially on those matters where Biden may have more knowledge and or experience That's the kind of VP we want and that's the kind of Presdient we want. If Biden were to agree with Obama all the time and never provide Obama with cronstruction critisim when he thought it was right and appropriate then why do we need a VP.

The key is that Obama is willing to listen to other view points and constructive criticismn whereas McCain has the same mentaility as GWB, my-way-or-the-highway.

Thanks Frist Read for this post that reminds us again that Biden would be a great VP and Obama would be a great President.

Obama or WW111 — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 17:55:53 GMT

Fact:
VP is nothing more than a "stand in". They attend funerals. They visit foreign countries. They are chosen by the Presidential candidate not for their popularity but for their views on issues and lack of "baggage".
They normally fade into history and people can't even remember their names. Unfortunately, some of you chose Bush who was ignorant and surrounded himself with Cheney, Rumsfield, etc... He was and is nothing but a puppet for them. You got what you paid and still are paying for. Obama is strong enough to "just say no" to bad advice and is a leader, not a follower. Neither Bush or McCain (or Hillary)) has admitted that they were dead wrong to vote for a war that was nothing more than an ego trip and assasination of Sadam. They, none of them, read the full report on WMD's before voting but took the word of a moron. Intrangiency is not a positive trait. It is childish stubborness.
Like in war, strategy changes day to day according to changes in situations. This country needs a leader who can reason and be willing to refine or rethink options. This is not "flip flopping" it is rational. Happily, Sen. Obama is not afflicted by tunnel vision and can listen as well as hear. Your President represents you to the rest of the world.
