This is so typical of Biden...he makes a statement once, twice...and then forgets what he said????

I guess this is why he got about 3 votes in the democratic primary...

And it would be simply appalling if Biden or his group had tried to use the pregnancy of Palin's daughter as political capital...

To start I'm a Biden fan -- matter of fact the only wise decision Obama's made to date in my opinion, but get used to this if Obama is elected...reversing their words & not holding themselves to their own standards...Example: "not a day for politics." Breath but, "McCain is wrong."

You Go Joe! Yeah, Sock it To Him as we used to say when I was young.

We don't need some moron running foreign policy who sings "bomb, bomb, Iran", when he wasn't even competent enough to bomb North Vietnam once. Next he'll want to bomb Russia! See how the repugnant ones have brought back the Cold War fo their political gain. Putin was very correct to say that one American presidential candidate has been behind this clueless Georgian attack on the big bad Russian Bear. We all know it was "Warmonger" McCain and his clueless lobbysist advisor who made $800,000 blowing smoke up Saakhasvili's behind so he would make the stupid choice that cost so many of his countrypeople their lives and homes.

Isn't it rather hypocritical that we supported Kosovo's breakaway from Serbia, Russia's friend, yet we don't support Abkhazia's or South Ossetia's breakaway merely because Russia supports them? Are we supporting democracy for all by only supporting it for those who would be our friends? Total double standard and why our standing on the world stage suffers so greatly. If we supported Serbian independence then we should support Abkhazia's and South Ossetia's independence as well.

Beverly in Chicago — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 21:19:45 GMT

Joe Biden succinctly pointed to the truth; because the GOP has come full to adopt Obama's ideas, the real leader.
McCain was wrong not to vet Palin.

This vetting process proves three wrongs and three lies…

Sarah cannot guide her teen-age daughter; therefore, is not capable of leading this powerful nation.

Abstinence instead of safe sex doesn’t work.

McCain doesn’t care about anyone and is politiczing Hurricane Gustav; because hypocritical, undiagnosed early Alzheimer’s, PTSD McCain voted 5x against hurricane relief.

It’s seems he forgot that he received a large birthday cake and Katrina victims got nothing from selfish McCain. Well there’s the hypocrisy of loopy, lost in the wilderness McCain’s clear judgment.
Enough!
No way
No how
No McCain!

Joe's right. The Repubs took swipes at Biden today too despite their public "comittment" to put country first. These people are good at slight of hand folks. Anyway, its clear McCain has a "vetting" problem which translates to lack of preparedness. First he failed to vet the preachers spewing hatred at the catholics. He then failed to do his homework on Sunni/Shia and now it appears that he has fumbled the ball with Sarah "Wasilla Mama" Palin and her clan. Say what you will about "W" but we know at least he prepares by reading something before bedtime at 8pm. I'm no Obamaniac but we just don't have the tolerance for every press conference during a McCain presidency to begin with the words: "Oops. My bad!"

What a joke political coverage is becoming. Reporting about a DUI some twenty years ago, or a teenage pregnancy in the Palin family. The media needs to focus on the issues. There is plenty to be said about VP pick Palin's extreme right wing policies and views without personal attacks against her and her family.

And how about all this genuine concern coming from Republicans about the hurricane! I'm not sure how many hurricanes there have been since Bush took office, or how many since Katrina, but are Americans really going to be fooled by this political ploy? Bush & Cheney both were too busy to attend the convention? I'm sure they would be devoting the same time and energy to this if this weren't an election year and convention week. And even the republican candidate is needed?

It seems she has been, and maybe still is, a member of this party. Is there any evidence that she or her family was vetted by the McCain campaign? Troubling to say the least.

Oh please. Don't take the high road now after spending an entire summer hurling lies and accusations at Obama. Obama is smart enough to stay out of the way of the hurricane and let the officials in the affected states do their work, while your guys are using it as a photo-op.

I heard (don't know where) that political campaigns could accept frequent flier miles as a valuable contribution. Is that true? If so, how do I go about making the transfer? I have scads of points, and would be pleased to put them to better use than a freebie trip that I really don't need. I am willing to do whatever I can to help the Obama/Biden cause.

But then again, maybe I should send them to Palin who obviously has never traveled outside of the USA! Her selection as a potential POTUS is beyond insane, and her views on sex education have come home to roost.

You Rock, Nashville_fan,

Say, I send in a good number of posts that "do not" get selected for publication on these boards. I harbor no illusions as to "why" some are rejected. They're angry posts! I'm angry! Some of the ones that do get published "still" reflect that anger. I am not ashamed of that, and I will not be put off in asking the tough questions about Palin's record/qualifications/etc. Every Democrat should be right there asking those same questions with me -- over and over again! Who [IS] this Palin woman??

For way too many years now, Republicans have been in charge of this country and they have screwed things up royally. You’re a bunch of cowboy F__K-Ups! And what’s worse, some members of the media consistently give you a pass for your pathetic record. No one trusts you to lead fairly. Your party does not represent progress; it represents regression, repression of ideas, and inequality. Republicans hardly deserve a "do-over", nor do they deserve to be let off the hook for all the lies they willingly told that get us into an unjust war. For the seemingly endless droves of single issue, simple minded individuals, who populate the Republican party, (the creationists who sporadically post some mindless "dribble", on here) usually attacking Democrats for calling Sarah Palin's idyllic sounding Family Life, “a lie”, or heaven forbid, questioning her utterly deficient qualifications to be VP for anyone. Remember now – she has "5", count'um -- {{{FIVE}}} Kids!!! Wow. Five kids does it for me…she’s my candidate for sure! Nothing else matters anymore! How silly. I hate to remind the faith-based crowd, but isn't that number kind of excessive for one marriage in the age of global warming and overpopulation? Oh, I forgot, Ms. Palin doesn’t believe in Global warming, or science. But [By God] you better never get an abortion or you and your doctor could go to jail! Don’t even think about being “Gay” and getting treated fairly, that’s not in the cards for you – so sayeth, the dear Mrs. Palin. ENOUGH!

The Republicans consistently demonstrate bad decision making practices, yet they continue to win elections. Why is that? There is no more recent example of extreme bad judgment than John McCain’s choice of a beauty-queen runner-up for VP. I hate to inform you Johnny, but this isn't a beauty contest, it's a race for the future of all Americans – not just for Republican special interests. Having said that, does it surprise hardly anyone that the overall "feel" from the majority of posters on this site is, yep, you guessed it -- Anger!!!! And the majority of that anger is justly directed at the Republicans and their horrible botch-job they have done on this country! There are certainly a few things the Republicans are good at (a little “too” good at) – e.g.; distorting the truth so they can hang on to power at all costs; enriching the few at the expense of the masses; lying with a straight face in light of the obvious truth, forcing their conservative agenda down everyone’s throats, starting unjust wars, draining the US Treasury to fund said wars, exploiting the individual differences Americans have for their own political gain, etc., etc.. These are the policies you support if you support the Republicans – no matter how they lie and say it isn’t so. I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I think about how the Republicans have run this country into the ground for the Middle-Class. It's just mind-numbing. So yes, sometimes, I just want to write an angry, incendiary Rant, because it makes me feel better to get it off my chest. As an American, I am damn angry at the state of affairs this country is in. I just can't imagine how "serious" the Republicans are about really changing anything that is in the best interest of the American people after seeing this rather “outside the mainstream” choice for a running mate? One thing is for sure, the Republicans are all about furthering the interests of major corporations and the rich. Where are their values that extend to the Middle-Class? I don't really see any.

Finally, it is important to remember these boards are refereed by the "MSNBC Thought Police". On any given day, in keeping with the story line they want to put forward, they more or less "whitewash" just how angry a majority of people on here really are!! I am sure they delete a majority of the “really angry” posts. That can’t hide the fact that the Republican party, under the dubious leadership of George W. Bush and John McCain "types", are 100% to blame for the mess we are in today -- not just on the warfront, but also on the "home front". It appears that many Republicans seem to care very little about the home front – unless it is one of their own “homes”. Thanks to the Stage-Coach, Shot Gun diplomacy of “ride-hard, shoot first and ask questions later”, -- espoused by the Bush League, the United States is seen as a "rogue nation" in the minds of so many other countries around the world. We are getting involved, for all the wrong reasons, in more and more conflicts and wars. That is a direct 180 degree turn around from economic prosperity and the status of America at the end of the Clinton Presidency -- no matter what any Republican says about it -- it is a fact. We are so much worse off, in so many ways. Do Republicans actually "get that"??? The 'Monster' your party has become under GWB greatly diminished our image around the globe, and undermined the vast majority of public good will toward your policies back home. Under Republican leadership, the "moral" authority of the United States, an issue that so many Republicans go on and on about, has been destroyed by your own self-righteousness, and malice toward others that do not agree with your agenda. You even politicized the Justice Department to try and cover up for the 8 year reign of King George Bush II – Liar in Chief. This nation suffers from a sickness, the sickness of narrow-mindedness, the fool-hearted deference to religion, to the exclusion of science. Have you no shame, Republicans??? The anger reflected by so many posters on here is indicative of how America feels in general. Maybe if you picked someone with a little more "character" and a lot more intelligence" for President, as opposed to someone "who you would want to have a beer with", we wouldn’t be in this shape. Look where the “beer model of character analysis” got us today. All progressive minded people should understand that this Sarah Palin is Hell Bent on overturning Roe v. Wade. Make no mistake about it – this will happen if the Republican ticket (as it stands now) gets elected. The Republican Party of 2008 (and so many years before) exemplifies all that is wrong with the way some Americans think. Politics in this country should not be a "game", as Senator McCain obviously sees it, it should be a fundamental judgment call about which candidate best represents the interests of every American, and has the intelligence and judgment to put that to greater use, for all – not just the privileged few. This election is so much more important than the politics of self-interest. The outcome of this election determines whether or not we succeed as a nation. It is "that" important.

Don't screw this one up America.

Palin said she didn’t know what the VP job entailed, but does she even know what a mother’s job entails. She was leaking amniotic fluid, but gave a speech and then proceeded to board a plane for an 8 hour trip back to Alaska. This was her fifth kid and he was diagnosed with down syndrome. What would have happened if she had given birth on that plane? No doctors and a baby with special needs. This was her 5th kid which usually means they come very fast. So she had the baby and goes back to work the next day. No time to bond with him or welcome him into his new life. Nope back to work! Maybe if she spent some time with her kids her 17 y/o daughter would not be 5 months pregnant. She knows her daughter is 5 months pregnant and would be the center of attention if this were to come out, so what does she do? She throws her daughter situation out for everyone to know because a rumor was being circulated about her last pregnancy. There were other ways to handle this w/o outing her daughter. Yes, a loving mother with family values. Maybe if she would have talked to her daughter about responsible sex or allowed it to be taught in schools there could have been a different outcome. Ignoring problems does not work!

Phil Gramm has filled that slot..there goes healthcare, there goes education funding, there goes child care, there goes the environment, there goes oil prices, there goes not fixing Washington, there goes military spending, there goes family values, there goes equal pay for equal work, there goes housing reform, there goes energy independence, there goes the economy, there goes less taxes for the middle class, there goes the dollars value abroard, there goes labor unions, there goes the US court decisions for the next 30 years......
send a strong message to the ballot box this November or there goes the chance for change in this country first...

I'm sorry another hurricane has hit the gulf states and my heart goes out to the people who are going through this again. That said, I firmly blieve as a country we have to stop throwing money at cities and people who don't leave these hard hit areas. I'm all for helping once, but not twice. If you look at history it very clear people did not build or stay long in places that continually floods.
How does a city, in hurricane area, built below sea level continually demand aid? How does it make any sense? To vote against continued relief is a bad thing? I for one will vote for anyone who has the strength to say NO More. Move out of harms way or deal with the consequence. This election could be a chance to really change things and I don't mean Obama's way of promised change. His speech promised many new programs to everyone, but didn't mention how we are to pay for it all. It's time to get back to basics or we will face a bankrupt country that will make this economic harship seem easy.

Two ironies
1) the goofball guy from Dobson's outfit that prayed for rain during Obama's speech and now we have "plenty of rain" for the beginning of the Republican convention

2) Palin has been on record that she's
a) Pro-life, with the only exception being the mother's life and
b) an abstinence only advocate.

This second one is ironic because the CDC has shown that abstinence only has been a failure and more directly speaking to that failure, the fact that teenage pregnancy and abortion has INCREASED in the last 8 years under Republican direction than under the previous Democratic administration with President Clinton.

Hmm...?

"Tax, tax, tax & he may pull us out of Iraq but it will be hasty & we'll be back. "

Charles ~ I urge you to actually go and read Obama's tax plan and them come back and play. FACT: 95% of Americans will receive a tax break. Nice try with the Republican smear tactics.

Feel sorry for the daughter, she has a mother and father who talked the talk but didn't walk the walk: typical conservative Republicans and evangelicals!

FirstRead, how about checking into Sarah Palin's relationship with the radical AIP. She's been mentioned by that party's leaders as a former member of a party devoted to bringing about secession of Alaska from the US. That would make her a traitor.

If folks are going to get attacked now for talking to their "families and friends" then this isn't America anymore. These repubs are really beginning to disgust me and I've been a republican my whole life. Not this time.

Biden, the guy who voted for the war, against the surge, and wanted to divide Iraq in three countries.
Now he wants to attack McCain on foreign policy?

Not a good move.

I got pregnant when I was 16 (and had my son). But I remember the embarassment and having family and friends learn about it. I can't imagine the public humiliation that Palin's dtr is experiencing. As a parent, I would have turned down this nomination.

Let's be honest...McCain and his camp are just pandering...it is true that despite their clumsy efforts to insert themselves in the hurricane issue, we still have their record on Katrina. McCain subsequently voted against help for Katrina victims...what is this crap about putting country first???

So Obama is supposed to not talk politics when McCain camp is out there politicking? What kind of nonsense is this?

No way, No how, No McCain. ENOUGH!!!!!

To Beverly in Chicago:

Do you really want to say that a woman can't pursue a professional career and be a good mother?

Do you really want to say that a woman is a bad mother simply because her child disobeyed and got pregnant?

I'm sure Barack's grandmother appreciates the sentiment.

Way to go Joe.
Mccain has played dirty pool since day one and he
needs to be exposed for the fraud that he is.
And then to have the irresponsibility to our
country and us to pick someone so totally
unqualified as a vp shows how he will do
anything to try and get votes.
Country first. Yea right Mccain.
ENOUGH!!

Joe Biden -- solid as they come. So he forgot to refrain from discussing the facts...boo hoo!!!

And as for any criticism of Bristol Palin that may have (but probably did not) come from the Obama camp, at least he's not the type of person who makes homosexual jokes at a teenaged girl's expense.

Google chelsea clinton mccain joke

The idea of this group (JM, et al) leading the country gets scarier each and every day...

Even Biden won't say it because of political price that would be paid. Gen Clark was right, all McCain is famous for is getting shot down in Viet Nam. The rest of his career in school and in public life is a joke. He finished 894 out of 899 in his class at Anapolis. If it was not for his name McCain he would not have been it tha class at all. And his bragging of how he refused to be let go in VN because other prisoners were there longer. I don,t think he is being completely honest. Did he not sign a confesion during the very same stay. If he was so brave to stay why did he sign the confesion. It is more likely that the American military did not want him back because of the propaganda that would be created. If he was will to sign the confesion just so they could stop kicking his ass he would also agree to leave. He is the same person. So far we have a student that should be on the short bus and a pilot of a failed mission. What are we bragging about. Now his maveric thing in the Senate. that came be directly attibuted to the Keating 5 investigation where he could and should have gone to prison. There is no doubt in my mind that the fear that was created there has caused him to so over compensate that he does not want to do anything to show himself to be corrupt. I am way confused by the gap between the perception and the reality of this guy. Oh yea I forgot about his marrage. I think that would be piling on.
