Obama Who? It's All Palin, ALL the Time

You wouldn't know Obamadonis had ascended to the heavens from the Invesco temple in Denver last Tuesday if you opened the papers today. Here are but a few of the Saturday headlines.


Minneapolis Star Tribune: Palin: A maverick, too, from out of nowhere




Washington Post: Palin Has Republican Delegates' Confidence





The New York Times: Campaigns Shift as McCain Choice Alters the Race




Kansas City Star: Palin vs. Biden: Can't wait for the debates

Picture Perfect Pick!

In a bold announcement that deflated the Democratic Party post-convention sail the day after the Obamessiah's ascension, Senator John McCain managed to re-energize the Republican Party by choosing Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate.

This is the perfect pick on a number of levels. Palin is a popular governor of a prosperous state. She has more executive experience as mayor and governor than Obama has ever had as "community organizer," state senator and U.S. Senator.

Palin is a true conservative: pro-life - Palin chose to have a child with Down's Syndrome knowing the challenges that accompany such a choice, pro-business, pro-market, pro-freedom and an evangelical Christian to boot. She is a member of the National Rifle Association and favors drilling in the ANWAR. Her oldest son is in the military and is about to be deployed on September 11.

Palin preempts Obama's choice of Biden.

Palin is a fresh, dynamic face, Biden is a 36-year Washington insider.

Palin has exective experience as governor, Biden has been an integral part of the Democratic Old Boys' Network for close to four decades.

Palin is telegenic, dynamic and a strong presence, Biden has hair plugs.

I would love to see Biden try his pitbull act on Palin. He won't have a prayer in the vice presidential debates.

Say goodbye to your post-convention bounce, Obama.

It's All About the Fraud, the Obamafraud

"What the nay-sayers don't understand is that this election has never been about me."

-- Obamadonis, from the Invesco Temple in Denver tonight.

Maybe that's why the Obamafraud used "I" over 60 times throughout his disingenuous and grossly distorted speech delivered from a "temple" built in his honor. This election is about him. His followers say so.

It's as if an Obama presidency is the only thing that will lead not only America but humanity as a whole toward a utopian "Brave New World," where peace, prosperity and understanding are the norm. That's the epitome of megalomania.

Finger-stabbing Endorsement

"I want all of you who supported her to vote for Barack Obama in November."

-- Bill Clinton, endorsing Obama while jabbing a finger at the liberal Democrat convention delegates at the Pepsi Center earlier tonight.

The last time Bill Clinton jabbed a finger, he was telling the nation he "did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky."

Rewind to last fall, when Bubba said:

"I mean, when is the last time we elected a president based on one year of service in the Senate before he started running?"

Four Years Too Late

"These times require more than a good soldier, they require a wise leader."

-- Joe Robinette Biden during his rambling acceptance speech.

Hey, Joe, you're four years too late.

Obamadonis and His Temple

Invesco Field: the center of tomorrow night's Obamaworship,
a veritable liberal Mecca for liberals.

No B.O.

"[Hillary] doesn't have the right to release us. We're not little kids to be told what to do in a half-hour."

-- Disappointed and angry Massachusetts delegate Nancy Saboori after Hillary deserted, I mean released her delegates to shouts of "No!" from the convention floor.


Dems choose Obama in thunderous acclamation
Aug 27, 7:18 PM (ET)
By DAVID ESPO

DENVER (AP) - Barack Obama, claiming a prize never held by a black American, swept to the Democratic presidential nomination on Wednesday as thousands of national convention delegates stood and cheered his improbable triumph.

Former rival Hillary Rodham Clinton asked the convention delegates to make it unanimous "in the spirit of unity, with the goal of victory." And they did, with a roar.

Competing chants of "Obama" and "Yes we can" floated up from the convention floor as Obama's victory was sealed.

Obama was across town as the delegates he won in the primaries of winter and spring cast their votes. Aides left open the possibility that he would briefly visit the Pepsi Center to thank his supporters, a routine event at recent national conventions. His formal acceptance speech Thursday night was expected to draw a crowd of 75,000 at a nearby football stadium where an elaborate backdrop was under construction.

Clinton's call for Obama to be approved by acclamation - midway through the traditional roll call of the states - was the culmination of a painstaking agreement worked out between the two camps to present a unified front.

Theatrics, that's all. Hillary is allowed to save face and pretend to be the power broker. What a childish display. Obama and Hillary aren't fooling anyone, not even their own blind followers.

Gallup Tacking Poll: No "Biden Pick Bounce" for Obama

It looks like the Biden pick has hurt Obama rather than help him. Told you so.

According to the August 23-25 Gallup poll of registered voters, John McCain has creeped ahead of Obama 46%-44% since the Illinois senator's running mate pick announcement of last Saturday.

Now, this is hillarious to me but should be frightening to Obamaniacs:

An analysis of historical election poll trends by Gallup Poll Managing Editor Jeff Jones shows that recent presidential campaigns have enjoyed a small (though short-lived) bounce from the running mate announcement. This includes a four percentage point bounce for John Kerry in 2004 after selecting John Edwards, a 5-point bounce for Al Gore in 2000 with his announcement of Joe Lieberman, and a 3-point bounce for George W. Bush in 2000 upon choosing Dick Cheney. Bob Dole received an extraordinary 9-point bounce in 1996 after bringing Jack Kemp onto his ticket.

It seems like it's the first time in recent presidential campaign history that a running mate pick actually caused a loss of support rather than a small, short-lived gain.

Censorship Obamastyle

"Barack Obama is friends with Ayers, defending him as, quote, 'Respectable' and 'Mainstream.' Obama's political career was launched in Ayers' home. And the two served together on a left-wing board. Why would Barack Obama be friends with someone who bombed the Capitol and is proud of it? Do you know enough to elect Barack Obama?"

-- "Attack ad" by American Issues Project highlighting the ties between liberal Democrat nominee-in-waiting Barack Obama and unrepentant domestic terrorist William Ayers.

That was then: Obamabuddy William Ayers, The "Respectable"

This is NOW!

"I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough."

-- William Ayers, "mainstream" Obamapatron, shortly before the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, on bombing the Pentagon, the U.S. Capitol and other government buildings in the 1970s as a member of the domestic terrorist group "Weather Underground."

"The fact that Barack Obama chose to launch his political career at the home of an unrepentant terrorist raises more questions about Senator Obama's judgment than any TV ad ever could."

-- John McCain's spokesman Brian Rogers.



Obama seeks to silence ad tying him to 60s radical
Aug 25 08:47 PM US/Eastern

By JIM KUHNHENNAssociated Press Writer

DENVER (AP) - Barack Obama is striking back fiercely and swiftly to stamp out an ad that links him to a 1960s radical, eager to demonstrate a far more aggressive response to attacks than John Kerry did when faced with the 2004 "Swift Boat" campaign.

Obama not only aired a response ad to the spot linking him to William Ayers, but he sought to block stations the commercial by warning station managers and asking the Justice Department to intervene. The campaign also planned to compel advertisers to pressure stations that continue to air the anti-Obama commercial.

It's the type of going-for-the-jugular approach to politics many Democrats complain that Kerry lacked and that Republicans exploit.

Obama's target is an ad by the conservative American Issues Project, a nonprofit group that questions Obama's ties to Ayers, a founder of the Weather Underground organization that took credit for a series of bombings, including nonfatal explosions at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol four decades ago.

The lone financier of the anti-Obama ad, Texas billionaire Harold Simmons, was also one of the main funders of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth who targeted Kerry. Simmons, a McCain fundraiser, contributed nearly $2.9 million to the American Issues Project, according to documents filed by the group with the Federal Election Commission.

Fox News and CNN have declined to air the anti-Obama ad. But by Monday afternoon, the ad had run about 150 times in local markets in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia and Michigan, according to Evan Tracey, head of TNS Media Intelligence/Campaign Media Analysis Group, an ad tracking firm.

Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor said Obama supporters have inundated stations that are airing the ad, many of them owned by Sinclair Communications, with 93,000 e-mails. He called the ad false, despicable and outrageous. "Other stations that follow Sinclair's lead should expect a similar response from people who don't want the political discourse cheapened with these false, negative attacks," Vietor said. Sinclair offices were closed late Monday and officials there could not be immediately contacted.

"It seems they protest a bit too much," American Issues Project spokesman Christian Pinkston said. "They're going all of these routes—through threats, intimation—to try to thwart the First Amendment here because they don't have an argument on merit."[More]

The fact that the Obama people are reacting so rabidly against the ad tells me that the issue is poison for Obama.

Unrepentant domestic terrorist Bill Ayers hosted a fundraiser for Obama when the then "community organizer" first ran for the Illinois senate and served together on the board of the Woods Fund, a left-wing group who hinds behind the legitimate needs of poor people.

Intimidation, shaming and detraction cannot erase Ayers' shameless acts or Obama's disgraceful record of poor judgment.

Obama "X"

"Suppose, for example, you're a voter, and you've got candidate X and candidate Y. Candidate X agrees with you on everything, but you don't think that person can deliver on anything. Candidate Y disagrees with you on half the issues, but you believe that on the other half the candidate will be able to deliver. For whom will you vote?"

-- Bill Clinton in Denver posing a hypothetical question, which he immediately said "has nothing to do with what's going on now."

Watch the video here.

Bill Clinton, Freudian to the bitter end.

Welcome to the Kick Off of the Democratic Party’s Obama/Biden “God D*mn America” Tour.

“You see, Barack doesn’t care where you’re from, or what your background is, or what party, if any, you belong to.”

- Michelle Obama at the Democratic Party's convention in Denver tonight.

But the truth is, is that, our challenge is to get people persuaded that we can make progress when there’s not evidence of that in their daily lives.

You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.

So it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

- Barack Obama at a San Francisco fundraiser

"Unity" at ANY Cost

"He's sort of like us. He comes from a middle-class background, went to school on scholarships. He and his wife had to figure out child care and how to start a college fund for their kids.'"

- Barack Obama describing himself as he tries to woo blue-collar, read "White," voters.



Obama aims convention at blue-collar voters

By DAVID ESPO, AP Special Correspondent

DENVER - On the eve of the Democratic National Convention, Barack Obama said Sunday he hoped a week of political speechmaking would persuade reluctant middle-class voters to swing behind his bid for the White House, while Republicans sought to stir discontent among Hillary Rodham Clinton's supporters.

Clinton was having none of it. Obama's rival in a bruising battle for the nomination was expected to release her delegates at midweek in a unity gesture.

Obama, bidding to become the first black president, campaigned through swing-state Wisconsin, then flew home to Chicago to work on the acceptance speech he will deliver before 75,000 partisans on the convention's closing night.

Previewing the week ahead, he said he hoped convention viewers would conclude, "He's sort of like us. He comes from a middle-class background, went to school on scholarships. He and his wife had to figure out child care and how to start a college fund for their kids.'"

Clinton outpolled Obama among working-class voters in many states through the winter and spring, and Sen. John McCain and the Republicans have worked relentlessly in more recent weeks to depict the Illinois senator as an elitist who is out of touch with blue-collar concerns.

Obama is in trouble with White blue-collar voters and he knows it. Saying that he is "sort of like" middle class, blue-collar, Whites is beyond a Freudian slip. He has absolutely nothing in common with them.

Not many folk in Ohio and Pennsylvania were educated in private schools in Hawaii and Indonesia.

Or went to Harvard.

Or live in a $3 million + mansion.

Or have been friends with domestic terrorists and Black supremacists.

Or ridicule people's faith and gun possession.

Here's more hypocrisy from the left in the name of "unity."

Dems give Michigan and Florida full voting rights

By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER, Associated Press Writer

Sun Aug 24, 3:25 PM ET

DENVER - Democratic delegates from Michigan and Florida were awarded full voting rights at the national convention Sunday, despite holding early primaries against party rules.

The convention credentials committee voted unanimously to restore the voting privileges at the behest of Barack Obama, the party's presumptive nominee for president. The states were initially stripped of delegates for holding primaries before Feb. 5. The party's rules committee restored the delegates in May, but gave them only half votes.

Democrats hope the gesture will strengthen their standing in two important battleground states while ending a contentious chapter of the nominating process.

"The only way we will be successful is if we are unified as a party and all Democrats know we are full partners," said Chris Edley Jr., a committee member from California who introduced the resolution to restore Florida's votes.

The party's move raises questions about whether it will be able to control its primary calendar in the future. A commission will work on the issue over the next two years.

Representatives from Florida and Michigan said they were penalized enough. None of the major candidates campaigned in the states before the primaries, and the delegates' votes weren't restored until after the nomination was decided.

"We realize that mistakes have been made, but we're excited in Florida," said Scott Maddox, a former Florida Democratic chairman and a member of the credentials committee. "We have suffered enough."

Is anyone surprised? Rules mean nothing to Democrats.

Biden's String of Lies I

Doom

Clinton delegates back Obama, but poll show concern
By John M. Broder and Dalia Sussman
Published: August 25, 2008

Delegates to the Democratic National Convention arrive in Denver having largely put aside the deep divisions of the primary fight between Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton, although some hold lingering concerns about Obama's level of experience, according to a New York Times/CBS News poll.

More than half of the delegates that Clinton won in the primaries now say they are enthusiastic supporters of Obama, and they also believe he will win the presidential election in November, the poll found. Three in 10 say they support Obama but have reservations about him or they support him only because he is the party's nominee. Five percent say they do not support him yet.

The poll, which was taken before Obama selected Senator Joseph Biden Jr. of Delaware as his running mate, also suggests that Clinton's 1,640 pledged delegates are evenly split over whom they plan to vote for on the floor of the convention during the roll call vote on Wednesday evening.

There will be blood. The PUMAs are on the prowl, though. Obama didn't ingratiate himself any by dissing Hillary yet again when he picked Joe "The Mouth" Biden to be his running mate.

Hell than no fury, Barry.

Hillary's Supporters to Obama: "Party Unity My A**!"

CNN's "Political Ticker" chronicled a growing movement of disgruntled Hillary supporters who are actively working against Obama:





Here's an MSNBC piece on Democrats who won't vote the party line:






Just Say No Deal:






Hillary's gals: "We are being thrown under the bus!"





NObama Girl: "We've Got to Crush Obama!" Hillarious!

Overconfidence or Liberal Delusion?

You have to wonder where the liberal overconfidence that Obama is going to win this election comes from when all the polls are showing the junior Illinois senator in a downward trend since his tour of the Middle East and Europe. Obama’s internationalist views did not play well with the American electorate.

Sure, most polls indicate that Obama is ahead of McCain but by a few points and well within the margin of error. The question for liberal Democrats then becomes, “Why can’t Obama close the deal?” I think most Americans see through the theatrics, staged events and rock-concert-like atmosphere that “the emperor has no clothes.”

There is no substance to what Obama says, though he may say it well. Providing the Teleprompter is working right, that is.

The “real” Obama, if there is such a creature, is seen in off-the cuff moments like the fundraiser in San Francisco where he derided middle America as ignoramuses who cling to guns and religion or when he said that inflating tires properly and tuning our car engines would save as much energy as could be obtained through domestic oil exploration.

Hmm… let’s see. Improperly inflated tires were responsible for 1.2 billion gallons of fuel out of the 130 billion used in 2005. Even in a socialist America under President Barack Obama where the proper tire inflation secret police made sure every single vehicle complied with this idiocy, it would result in savings of less than one percent.

Biden Courts the Indian-American Vote

I don't think this can be justified in any way. It's not only "racially insensitive," it's plain stupid.

To be fair, Biden may have been plagiarizing Hillary Clinton at the time.

“The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Biden is one of the most influential foreign policy voices in Congress. An internationalist and strong supporter of the United Nations, he is a leading critic of what he sees as the vague, unilateralist approach of President Bush.

“Biden voted in 2002 to authorize the Iraq invasion, which Obama opposed from the start. Since then, he’s become a firm critic of the conflict and pushed through a resolution last year declaring that Bush’s troop increase—now considered a military success—was ‘not in the national interest.’”

Senator Biden brings to the table a wealth of foreign policy experience, knowledge and legislative ability. He is one of a few senators and representatives who have published well thought out plans for ending Bush’s fiasco in Iraq. Whether one agrees with the plan or not, it is a plan not a bumper sticker.

In contrast to Biden’s plan, John McCain wants to duke it out to the end with any Iraqi’s who want the American occupying army out.

Senator McCain, by the way, has not quite come to grips with the fact that even our friend Mr Maliki wants the US out within the time line suggested by Mr Obama. Mr McCain’s vision of indefinite occupation apparently does not sit well with the Iraqis.

Mr McCain’s chief foreign policy adviser is a dedicated neocon who was an early pusher for invading Iraq and, until recently, was a paid lobbyist for the government of Georgia, the country Russian just invaded. I wonder what the neocon adviser is not suggesting to Mr McCain?

Paleocon - McCain needs a few gifts. Perhaps a course in anger management, how to control your temper, maybe a course in polite ways to express yourself without swear words would be a good Christmas gifts for the guy.

Some kind, loving conservative patron, perhaps an oil company, might want to gift Mr McCain a course in memory development so that he can remember which countries no longer exist, who Sunni and Shittes are and how they interact in Iraq. And while I do not like to delve into personal information, I do think a presidential candidate should at least be able to remember how many houses he and his spouse own. I don’t care how many he owns, but it does bother me that McCain doesn’t know.

I wonder how many of John McCain’s homes were financed by Tony Rezko.

A fantastic pick for Veep that provides even more evidence of Obama’s superb judgment. Time for Johnny “I don’t know how many houses I own” McClueless to wave bye bye.

Wrong as usual, grasshopper.

Biden is a joke. I’m counting the seconds until Biden’s first bout with diarrhea of the mouth as the Obamafraud’s running mate. I was thinking that Obama couldn’t have made a worse pick for running mate than Biden but then I remembered the Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

Obama’s choice of Biden for running mate is an admission of weakness. It’s like the Obamafraud’s campaign is telling the American electorate that it’s alright to vote for the inexperienced, clueless George Soros puppet Obama because the “seasoned” Biden has been a “fixture” in Washington for 30 years and wouldn’t let the Obamafraud screw up.

Don’t worry, America. Biden will hold Obama’s hand during the day and answer that 3:00 a.m. crisis phone call Hillary talked about during the Democratic primary after he tucks the Obamachild into bed at night.

Time for the Lord Barack “Slum King Rezko Financed My Obamamansion” Obama the Divine to pack it in. I wonder if his “community organizer” job is still open.

“When the news broke shortly before midnight, Wilson was still waiting for her cell phone to beep with a text message from the Obama campaign about his choice of running mate. But word that Biden had been tapped was already being reported on television news.”

Ha ha ha. Suckers.

Speaking of “diarrhea of the mouth,” I wonder if Paleocon reads his own dribble.

There are pros and cons to the selection of Senator Biden as a running mate, and even now that Barak Obama has made his choice many will chime in with their opinions.

Unfortunately, there are some who would reduce discussion to inflammatory nonsense, nasty, mean spirited words with no intellectual content.

It seems strange that there is no mention of the severe brain damage Biden suffered not to long ago.
Will this affect his decision making?
Is this what causes him to make sometimes strange statements?
Is this the reason he said osama is not ready to serve?
Is biden another Eagleton?
Just wondering why this was not mentioned by the PB.

Oh please...Biden’s aneurysm was in 1988, twenty years ago. Wonder what McCain’s reason is for not being able to remember how many houses he owns, or his uncontrollable potty mouth and temper. He’s just a walking time bomb disguised behind a fake milquetoast exterior of “my friends”.

“Obama’s superb judgment?” Ha. I love it. Obama and Co. pounced on Biden’s “clean” comment calling him a racist and running him out of the race, now when he needs someone to balance his ticket everything’s hunky-dory? Yea, give the right one more thing to use against Obama, that’s good judgment ...

Didn’t Biden say that Obama was articulate, spoke well and clean? Also there are 57 Islamic states in the world.

The selection of Sen. Joe Biden as BArack Obama’s VP choice is an excellent.

Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden have a good relationship in the Senate working together. She is already on board for the Obama campaign and her supporters will be also.

Nor will Biden be any push over for whomever McCain selects.

So much for the theme of “Change you can believe in”. A running mate working in the senate since 1972 sounds like the same old politics to me.

But then, if you tell the gullible something often enough they believe it. Politics as usual.

I think a governor from the south or west such as Kathleen Sebelius from Kansas might have been a better choice.

Biden does bring foreign policy experience but Obama now has problems with the whole “Change” theme. Biden is a Washington and Democrat insider. In addition, Biden voted for the war in Iraq and against the surge. The problem with voting against the surge, is that most voters are feeling like it worked.

Biden also has a history of saying things that are not politically helpful. In particular, during the last parimary season and directed against Obama.

Finally is the “Clinton” factor. This choice really seems to cut the Clintons out of the Democrat power structure. In addition, if Obama is elected this year he will be the nominee in 2012. This will mean Hillary and her supporters will have to look forward to 2016 for her next chance to run and she would probably be to old. I really don’t think Bill and Hillary are ready to give up on her quest for the White House. Her best chance at the oval office is for McCain to be elected this year. I don’t think her efforts to support McCain and sabotage Obama will be obvious but It will be there. I suspect that it might have been better if the Obama people would have at least given the appearance that they were considering Hillary. I know they have said that they “vetted” her during the primary but that came out so late that now it sounds like an excuse to cover up the fact that they never did consider her.

“A great pick! The only choice for the working stiffs of this country!!”

Hey! Don’t forget John “Baby Daddy” Edwards. There’s a pro-union guy. When he is not cheating on his terminally ill wife, that is.

Face it, libs. Biden is there to shore up the Obamafraud’s experience bona fides, of which there are none. Biden’s selection is actually an admission by the Obamessiah’s puppet masters that their political Buddha has no political experience whatsoever to justify a run for the presidency of the United States of America.

So the candidate of “change” is reduced to selecting a running mate who has been a “fixture” in Washington for 30 years.

How pathetic.

“I think a governor from the south or west such as Kathleen Sebelius from Kansas might have been a better choice.”

I’m with you on this one, sbintn. As I chronicled early this morning at http://paleoconstrikes.blogspot.com/2008/08/christmas-in-august-msm-reporting-obama.html:

“A smart Democratic nominee-in-waiting would have picked Kansas Governor Kathleen Sibelius, a “moderate” by liberal standards, as his running mate. But then again, the Obamessiah may have figured he would alienate Saint Hillary’s supporters if he chose a female running mate other than the megalomaniacal former First Lady.”

Undermining Obama has become trickier for Hillary now that Biden is his running mate, however. She will need to be stealthier than ever to take over Jesse Jackson’s job of cutting Obama’s you-know-whats out.
You say,

“I suspect that it might have been better if the Obama people would have at least given the appearance that they were considering Hillary.”

Hillary, more than anyone in politics, understands the difference between symbolism and substance. I actually think that it would have been more offensive and more disrespectful to pretend to vet her while having no intention of picking her as running mate.

And I think that Obama’s puppet masters knew that vetting Hillary would “obligate” them to choose her in the eyes of the MSM and her fanatical supporters.

Biden is perfect for VEEP! The best attack dog in the democratic kennels. He is a big mouth that will tear McSame apart in novel and gorgeous ways.

McCain is a billionaire elitist who thinks no American would pick lettuce for $50/hr - he said this in 2006. McBush thinks that only someone who makes $5 million a year is wealthy. McOilshill does not remember the last time he pumped his own gas. All this and more will flow from Joe Biden with fitting derision and outrage.

True. Biden is a loud mouth and a bully. Maybe it has to do with his brain aneurysms, I don’t know.

Brain damage seem to be a perfect explanation for Biden’s irrational temper and verbal incontinence.

I can’t wait for McInsane to have a PTSD episode in a debate with Obama. It seems when tumors are being removed from McInsane every couple of months, they remove his brain bits that contain facts about the difference between Shia and Sunni, or where exactly Iraq is with relation to Pakistan, or how many houses he has, or that he was against the Jim Webb GI Bill, or that it is the most vile thing a human can do to cheat on your wife as she’s dying of cancer - all the stuff we will be hearing Joe Biden talking about in the coming days.

Lies, nothing but right wing neocon lies, Paleocon.

He was elected in ‘72 and took office January 3, 1973. It looks like he has been a fixture for pretty close to 36 years.

The selection of Senator Biden as his running mate just illustrates how desperate Obama is to find some foreign policy credibility for his ticket.

It is an interesting mix of “credibility”, however. Voting for the war in Iraq and then voting against the surge, which has proven to be the most successful strategy of the war, doesn’t do much to qualify you as a foreign policy expert.

I guess his years of sitting at Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearings and mugging for the cameras is enough to qualify you as a Democratic foreign policy expert.

You do have to give the guy credit for his honesty, however.

As Biden has noted: “I would say, quite frankly, its awfully hard not to be qualified on foreign policy and be president in this environment.”

Little wonder Biden found Obama unqualified to be president, at least until he scored the vice presidential nod.

The other interesting point about the Biden selection is the total lack of ideological diversity he brings to the ticket.

Both he and Obama cling to the extreme left of the political spectrum. He’ll appeal to exactly the same political demographic as Obama already does.

You can find evidence of that by which bloggers on this site are praising his selection. Their need for ideological purity has been satisfied.

36 years in Washington equals change in the liberal mind. It would seem that brain damage is a common occurrence in the liberal camp.

“Both he and Obama cling to the extreme left of the political spectrum. He’ll appeal to exactly the same political demographic as Obama already does.

“You can find evidence of that by which bloggers on this site are praising his selection. Their need for ideological purity has been satisfied.”

Welcome back, Thelen. Biden’s selection as the Obamafraud’s running mate seems to have finally pushed liberals over the ideological precipice.
