Government of the clueless, by the clueless, for the clueless … here we come !

1) He has been in Washington for 36 years, more than half his life and almost all of his adult life yet he is not part of the Washington DC insider’s club because he takes Amtrak home everynight to nearby Deleware.

2) He is such a regular guy, he knows the train conductors by name (subtle implied message, since almost every time I have been on a train and the conductors/porters are usually African Americans, Biden is just a regular guy who gets along with working minorities)

3) He was born in Sranton, PA (so?!!)

4) He lost his wife in a car accident 36 years ago, and his daughter. Yes, it was a tragedy, we all have tragedies in our lives. My brother died from AIDS.

5) He relates to the working class, his mom was on food stamps. When is the last time he grabbed a beer with Joe 6 pack at the corner bar? When was the last time he had to worry about making the rent himself? What a blowhard

6) He brings experience to the ticket but it doesn’t REALLY mean the top of the ticket lacked experience. After all the top of the ticket has the JUDGMENT to lead. Oh really? Are you trying to sell me swamp land, too?

7) Joe Biden knows the same foreign heads of states as McCain. Ummm, so, and John McCain is at the TOP of his party’s ticket, not in the VP slot.

These are the ridiculous statements that these blowhards are robotically parroting on all of the news channels. BARF!!!

By the way, what is this so called scandal someone was illuding to about Palin and her sister’s ex husband?

I really hope he picks Palin. Biden won’t be able to be a butthole during the debate to an awesome woman of these credentials without looking like the butthole we know him to be in real life.

The main concern for us now is to get McCain elected and kick Obama’s ass into oblivion.

My point is that the poll was taken before Obama announced his VP choice. Faced with the reality that McCain’s VP selection is the only opportunity left for a woman to get a spot on the ticket, I wonder how that would change the numbers.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and suggest that his polling credentials are better than Lifetime’s.

BTW, does anybody have a substantive argument against Palin? One that doesn’t reek of sexism, or re-hash the smear attempt?

A charismatic, pro-life Governor who appeals to swing voters and highlights the domestic energy issue. That beats all the other choices.

Update: Bill Amos found the poll I was looking for. Why Pawlenty is better than Palin:

I have some doubts on those surveys. It was not a true random sample.

Methodology:

Republican pollster Kellyanne Conway of the polling company(TM), inc./WomanTrend and Democratic pollster Celinda Lake of Lake Research Partners conducted the scientific poll via telephone interviews July 25-29, 2008. The sample was 500 women nationwide, with 100 additional African American women and 100 additional Hispanic women.

Did you see those 2 pantloads botch each others introductions????? And that was in the first few minutes of being together.

It was standup comedy at its finest.

Spare me, I you don’t think Palin’s physical appearance isn’t one of the main reasons for her appeal in this VP speculation I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

Nice to see Obama’s pick has upset the bitter bumpkins so much.

McCain’s VP is the last chance for the bitter bumpkins to get any kind of representation in the next admin.

I bet he goes pro-abortion just to shut ‘em out…

Upset???? My God this is like St Patricks Day, Christmas, New Years all rolled into one and without the hangover.

Did you see those 2 pantloads botch each others introductions????? And that was in the first few minutes of being together.

Other than being a shill for Obama in the Rust Belt…what does Biden bring to the table?

Another win for Obamai…another loss for the bitter bumpkins.

Alphie,

You don’t like nice and friendly discourse much do you?

I am more than a little sick of those folks making all the “rules” the debate format, the media coverage, and now how many houses participants can have. I think Senator Biden has enough baggage that we don’t have to worry about how many homes our candidates own.

Oh, and as for the new Obama/Biden signs…at first glance you can hardly notice “Biden” on there. Hmmmmmmm?

You know who this benefits?

YES!

The poll was conducted of 700 women voters nationwide, with an oversampling of African-American and Latina women. And its overall margin of error is +/- 4%.

Um, last I checked, we’re trying to pick up white, working-class women, not minorities. Seriously sloppy work on your part, Allah.

Biden seems like a good choice, Auntie.

The press seems to really like him and he seems to upset your kind, too.

Another win for Obamai…another loss for the bitter bumpkins.

alphie on August 23, 2008 at 8:14 PM

Oh I am DELIGHTED with Biden!
The press will crucify him for his gaffes and him and obambi…the clean and jerk team are practically writing McCains ads for him lol.

BTW are Republicans “bitter bumpkins” or “rich elitists”?
Need to get your story straight alphie.

Ah well, when McCain wins I am sure you will dissapear, just like your wimpy hero obambi will.

That’s what it’s going to take to win the fight for good jobs that let people live their dreams, a tax code that rewards work instead of wealth, and health care that is affordable and accessible for every American family.

I’m forget. Was Marx giving this speech today?

Another win for Obamai…another loss for the bitter bumpkins.

alphie on August 23, 2008 at 8:14 PM

You know, it’s probably not a very good idea to refer to voters as “bitter bumpkins”. Indeed, since Gasbag Joe intends to milk his Scranton, PA roots, it’s a doubly poor idea.

But you go right ahead and see how many votes you can round up for your buddies!
