As usual, Biden doesn't know what he's talking about. Why anyone listens to him is a mystery. Just like with Obama, Joe is to self-absorbed with himself to check and verify what someone writes in his speeches.

Biden: "But I was equally impressed by what I didn’t hear, what I didn’t hear in the speech"

See Joe, speeches need to end after about 30-40 minutes, else the audience gets a little restless. I know you stand up on the stage and can bellow out a speech that covers everything for hours on end, but you know what Joe, no one's listening.

New News FR:

Georgia Republican Rep. Lynn Westmoreland used the racially-tinged term "uppity" to describe Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama Thursday.

Westmoreland was discussing vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin's speech with reporters outside the House chamber and was asked to compare her with Michelle Obama.

"Just from what little I’ve seen of her and Mr. Obama, Sen. Obama, they're a member of an elitist-class individual that thinks that they're uppity," Westmoreland said.

Asked to clarify that he used the word “uppity,” Westmoreland said, “Uppity, yeah.”

Other Democrats have charged that the Republican campaign to paint the Illinois senator as an “elitist” is racially charged, and accused them of using code words for “uppity” without using the word itself.

In August, Rep. Shelley Berkley (D-Nev.) told reporters, “When I hear the word ‘elitist’ linked with Barack Obama, to me, that is a code word for 'uppity.' I find it extremely offensive and John McCain should know better.”

I listened to both the DNC and now the RNC and I didn't hear specifics in either event. I don't expect specifics at a convention. Telling me you'll creat 5 million new jobs, isn't a specific. I have been following politics for years and I know both sides will promise a lot, but I don't expect they'll deliver on 90% of it. I'm not negative just realistic. We have a congress and no president just waves his hand and it all gets done. I'd like a president that simply says do for yourself, and we'll try and stay out of your way! Good luck self :)

You gotta laugh to keep from crying. From LarkNews.com, this tongue-in-cheek "report":

McCain would appoint 12-year-old Christian girl as Secretary of State

ST. PAUL — The reaction to John McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin for vice presidential nominee has been so positive among grass-roots conservatives that the McCain campaign is quickly moving to name even more young evangelical leaders to a potential McCain cabinet.
Yesterday John McCain stood next to Meghan Crandall and announced he would appoint the 12-year-old Girl Scout as Secretary of State, should he win the election.
"She’s a beautiful Christian girl with a lot of spunk and promise," he said. "She has demonstrated strong executive leadership as student leader of Girl Scout troupe 312 and proven toughness selling cookies door to door."
Given Crandall’s strong faith and church-going family, evangelicals were immediately ecstatic over the choice.
"I was in tears jumping up and down when I heard she would be appointed," gushed one housewife from Missouri. "She is such a strong believer. She reminds me of my own daughter who is very active in Awana. I think she’ll do a wonderful job of running the State Department."
Being considered for chief of staff: precocious 13-year-old Danny Anderson, a Bible Quiz champion and burgeoning leader at Pleasant Oaks Christian School in Pittsburgh, Pa.
And for the Supreme Court McCain says he would strongly consider Judy Brumford, a 43-year-old Sunday school teacher from Cleveland, given her "years of Bible knowledge, common sense and experience running the Sunday school department."
As for Crandall, "She’s an energizing pick and we are confident she will grow into the job," says a campaign spokesman.

It will be funny when Obama run ads of the millions of Habitat for Humanity homes built by community organizers. Governor Palin thinks her $27 million in Wasilla earmarks were more important the the millions of homes built by community organizers like Habitat for Humanity.

That's right America, Palin is proud of her work to secure $27 million for a town of less than 7000 people. However, she thinks Habitat for Humanity doesn't do any real work.

Not the only inaccuracy with Biden — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 20:29:25 GMT

Apparently Joe has a tendency to forget facts--some little and some big. Like when he accepted Obama's offer to be his VP and became Obama's biggest promoter only a short while after he had very clearly told the country that Obama was not ready to lead ("the presidency is not given to on-the-job training" ...paraphrased) during the primaries. Was that a "mistake" also? Or is this politics at its ugliest and most typical?

As usual, the Democrats' (as mirrored by the left wing media)condescending attitude towards women. Look at what they did to Sen. Hilary Clinton! Derailed her ambitions and squashed her like a bug! Now they are trying to do the same thing to Gov. Sarah Palin. Newsflash to those 18 million women who supported Hilary, wake -up!!! The Dem. Party doesn't care for women to crack that ceiling. This party is only interested in keeping you all down, but will allow you to do the dirty work of attacking your own female human species.

If they every have any q's about national security, like the Georgia situation for instance, or that Governor Palin was the Governor of Alaska, what could they do? Hmmm, let me think, oh I have an idea, how about his: Call John McCain!

Jewel, Pearl, MS — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 21:21:53 GMT

Sen. Biden merely made a speech error. All humans do this at some point (Including the reporters and my fellow bloggers). Please dwell on more significant things.

Gov. Palin's attacks on Sen. Obama lives up to the old adage that 'If you have no substance, no plans,no ideas of your own, and you are about nothing; merely attack,demean, and belittle your more worthy opponent'. This will take the harsh spotlight of reality off of you and cause others to doubt your opponent. The American people are intelligent enough to know that 'an empty wagon makes a lot of racket'.

Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin, instead of telling me what's wrong with Sen. Obama and Sen. Biden, tell me what's right about Sen. McCain and yourself. Convince me to vote for you because you are the best thing for America. Gov. Palin and former mayor Guilani's speeches late night was classless, mean-spirited, and down-right ugly. Please show us Americans that the Republican Party can conduct themselves like ladies and gentlemen in this contest. We Americans expect and will accept no less.

Biden's demotion for Palin?

Jen, Los Angeles — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 21:26:55 GMT

I don't think it was a mistake by Biden. Just like Obama claims he has more experience running the campaign (um, I believe he has campaign managers for that too) than her being a mayor, totally bypassing the fact that she is a sitting GOVERNOR of a state. I think Obama and Biden both don't want to admit that she is a female governor and finally has some competition on the GOP side. But I'll bet my pretty penny, that Palin would know how many states there are in the U.S.
