I hear Biden might not be feeling too well these days. He might have to drop out after he debates Sarah Palin. Shame. They might have to find someone to replace him.
McCain's campaign is a joke. It consists solely of outrage, mischaracterization of Obama's past actions and positions, and using scare tactics. So much for the self-described "maverick." He's been taken over by the Republican attack machine. John, talk about the issues. Don't accuse Saturday Night Live of being "sexist." Don't fight about whose ads are sleazier. Tell me why I should vote for you--not why I should vote against the other guy.
Well Sarah Palin will look like an idiot in the debate, so if you are implying that Biden will drop out because Palin wins a debate against him, that isn't going to happen. But if Obama had a chance to turn Biden into Hillary or Bill Richardson, I'm sure he would be giddy.
Well, you've made your position pretty clear that you wouldn't vote for him under any circumstances, so tell me why this isn't just the regurgitation of the Obama talking points by a committed Obama supporter
The fact that a couple weeks back, the Obama campaign was floating the Eagleton scenario about its opponent and is now doing so about itself shouldn't, in my opinion, require much analysis. It's pretty obviously a mess, and if Obama does it it's an admission of pretty awful judgement on his part. And as far as Biden making anyone look like an idiot, the list of potentials seems largely down to two. Barack Obama. Joe Biden. That is all.
I would certainly consider voting for him if he wasn't following eight years of republican administration which has been a horrible mess and claiming that he represented "change." I don't care about "talking points." I want to hear about issues and policies.
Exactly, who cares about SNL or Obama's middle name being Hussein? It's all irrelevant nonsense when it comes to governing the country. All of McCain's tactics seem to be things that he picked up during his time as a POW .
Yesterday, some guy during a town hall asked Palin something about foreign policy. She said, "Ahh, I'll always let the people play stump the candidate" (while not answering the question and leaving it at that), followed by McCain saying, "On 9/11, her son in the Alaska National Guard and has just gone over to Iraq, by golly, don't tell me she don't know something about foreign policy" (obviously trying to bolster up the Alaskan National Guard as some important military unit of our country, ignoring the fact her son is a member of the US Army, not the Alaska National Guard).
McCain somewhat reminds me of that Eddie Murphy movie, where a congressman suddenly dies and there has to be a special election. Murphy's character happens to have the same name as the deceased congressman, and he just puts his name on the ballot, doesn't give any speeches or release policy statements, and gets elected due to "name recognition." As far as I can tell, McCain is asking us to vote for him . . . because . . . he is John McCain! He was a POW! He has been in the Senate for 50 years and will bring some unspecified change to Congress! Because the other guy is insulting him! Where's the beef? [not thebeef] Does he think that he will garner votes solely because he is outraged over what people are saying about him? Now there is an effective campaign.
Lol@ bill clinton. I think democrats are forcin' him to endorse obama.He's not really sayin' anything
I don't think you do, at least in any sort of realistic, what is possible sort of sense. Further, on every policy issue I've ever seen you pass on, you seem to take a standard Democratic position. That's not a criticism, you're entitled to believe whatever you want, of course, it's just pointing out what I see. I see a Democrat who believes in the Democratic party's position on things, but you frequently put things as if you're a disaffected Republican or independent who just wants to teach the Republican party a lesson for not following the right policies. But then the policies I see you favor are things that are and always were mainstream Democrat positions and not mainstream Republican positions. So it amounts to you saying "Gee, I'd support the Republicans if they were Democrats". I mean, am I missing something here? What sort of traditionally Republican policies do you favor?
I don't support a position because it is the democratic's position on things. I support a position because it is my own viewpoint. It just so happens that my views correspond more closely to the Democratic positions, but as far as I can tell, the politician that most closely mirrors my personal view on most issues is a republican: Arnold Schwarzenegger.
