Now, does anyone, particularly those in the employ of ourDemocratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama said that families should be off-limits in presidential campaigns after learning of the news. "Let me be as clear as possible," Obama said. "I think people's families are off-limits, and people's children are especially off-limits."
Hey Rockie, what are Joe Biden's policy positions? What about his judgments? When was the last time he headed up a negotiation of a 100 million dollar deal as an executive of his State? When was the last time as an executive he submitted a billion dollar budget for his State to be approved. When was the last time he had to make Homeland Security plans as an executive of his State? When was the last time he managed more than the 15 people he has on staff?Rockie wrote:
Obama and Biden were being interviewed the other night, and Obama made a point of saying Biden could step into the big chair tomorrow if he had to. I don't think anyone would disagree. But it's a scary thought with Palin.
He's had skin cancer 4 times, it's not exactly deadly in someone who gets the best medical care on earth. I'd be more worried about him being the oldest president ever.200hr Wonder wrote:Lets not forget the John McCain has had cancer 4 times, so if they win, she may in fact end up in the big chair very easily. It is NOT outside of the realm of a decent chance! Like maybe 30-70 that the cancer finally catches up with McCain.
Worried? No.Phaedrus wrote:Rockie, you sure seem worried for a guy who's convinced that picking Palin will ruin McCain's chances. It's not like a mother of four with a paucity of foreign policy credentials is going to be a warmongering, freedom crushing, anti-christ is it? She can't possibly be as scary as Cheney.
The very reason Obama is forced to issue statements like this one is that some of his supporters have been so vile in their personal attacks on Palin that it may end up driving political moderates into the Republican camp for November.
Sez the citizen of a country that elected Gene the Cretin not once, not twice but three fuckin' times. And would probably have done so again if his own party hadn't thrown him out on his ass....that the majority of those who make their way to the polling stations, are complete buffoons and quite likely to throw another stooge for the defense establishment into power.
For those of you who have difficulty recalling anythingThroughout his time as vice president, Quayle was widely ridiculed in the media and by many in the general public, in both the USA and overseas, as an intellectual lightweight.[11] For example, Quayle received the satirical Ig Nobel Prize for "demonstrating, better than anyone else, the need for science education" in 1991.
Contributing greatly to the perception of Quayle's incompetence was his tendency to make public statements which were either self-contradictory ("We don't want to go back to tomorrow, we want to go forward"), logically redundant ("The future will be better tomorrow"), obvious ("For NASA, space is still a high priority"), geographically wrong ("I love California. I practically grew up in Phoenix."), fallacious ("It's time for the human race to enter the solar system"),[12][13] or painfully confused and inappropriate, as when he addressed the United Negro College Fund, whose slogan is "A mind is a terrible thing to waste", Quayle said "You take the United Negro College Fund model that what a waste it is to lose one's mind or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is."[14]
Lest you forget, this salesman of cheap suits inHe was, however, largely ignored by President Roosevelt, who appeared not to have taken him seriously at this stage. Truman reportedly had difficulty getting White House secretaries to return his calls.[26]
For all the U.S. bashing that goes on here the current debate about the v.p. is a sign of a healthier media balance than we have in Canada. Not as healthy as many western European countries but healthier.Rockie wrote:In Canada we thankfully exercise a lot more discretion than they do in the States and don't bring children into it. I think someone tried with Cretin's son that was having the problems and was soundly slapped down.
He also had a sign on his desk that stated "The buck stops here." Pretty straight forward type of guy.Lest you forget, this salesman of cheap suits in
Missouri ended up dropping two atomic bombs.
Mr Hume:
I've just read your lousy review of Margaret's concert. I've come to the conclusion that you are an "eight ulcer man on four ulcer pay."
It seems to me that you are a frustrated old man who wishes he could have been successful. When you write such poppy-cock as was in the back section of the paper you work for it shows conclusively that you're off the beam and at least four of your ulcers are at work.
Some day I hope to meet you. When that happens you'll need a new nose, a lot of beefsteak for black eyes, and perhaps a supporter below!
Pegler, a gutter snipe, is a gentleman alongside you. I hope you'll accept that statement as a worse insult than a reflection on your ancestry.
