Liberalism does appeal to those who feel, not to those who think...

Oh, come on now...weak!!!

He's making a partisan argument just as Palin did on numerous occassions last night.

There are far more substantive reasons to criticize Joe's selection as VP.

I was merely giving the McCain camp a campaign slogan for their next ad.

So you won't address the issue here?

BTW - there is equally no question that the VP is a member of the Legislature.

So wtf is your point?

If Biden was going to call out Cheney on anything related to this it should have been Cheney's argument to exempt the Office of the VP from executive branch oversight. That's the genesis of this whole question. But Biden didn't. He chose to play the fear card and demonstrate that he's willing to dumb himself down to do it.

So on one hand we have an extremely honest young female politician who is running for the VP position and who admits that she has limitations and will work hard to do what is right for all Americans. On the other hand we have this so-called knowledgeable and experienced political hack (who can change his story as needed to become Obama's VP candidate) who can't even get the constitutional role of the office he is running for right.

In addition to all the economic reasons for voting for McCain/Palin, we also have this respected (by those who know and have worked with her) and honest governor who believes that she can trust McCain enough to run as his VP. And, by the way... she has shown more leadership in her brief political history than Obama has in his even briefer political history and she got there without the background machinations of the Chicago insiders.

Not my candidate. I don't like partisan bickering and blinding of ones self to reality. Palin too did not know the role of the VP. Criticizing one but not the other when the same thing. It's the same with Rev talking about taking Palin out of context to smear. If you don't think McCain is doing that as well, then you're blind or a hack. Both sides engage in this, and both need to be condemned for doing so. Biden didn't know the role of the VP, should be criticized. I just find it ironic for Palin deflectors to put up the accusation. And even more so when Palin/McCain deflectors talk about taking a candidate out of context to smear. Hypocrisy and nothing less.

Good job.

How out of context can that statement be. "Someone needs to tell me exactly what the VP Does"

The take-her-out-of-context I can handle. That can be debated and hashed out.

What is not accpetable are the lies and smears that go unchallenged by the media and ignorantly repeated by leftwing pundits (in fact, they continue to peddle them as the Boston Globe did earlier this week when they pushed the false rape kit story). Things like secession, banning books, faking trig's birth, etc.

Look at this yesterday from popular lefty Matt Yglesias:

Quote:

Some background on how the Couric-Palin interview came together:

“In one part of the interview, I asked her what newspapers and magazines she read before being asked to be John McCain’s running mate,” Couric said. “And she couldn’t name any. So again, I turned to the crew and I said, ‘Hold it, guys,’ and I went to the Governor privately and said, ‘Governor Palin, did you not understand the question? I’m asking you to name some newspapers or magazines you read. You can’t come up with any? I’m just trying to make sure you’re clear and to give you a fair shake here.’ And she said, ‘Okay. Nightline? Is that a magazine?’ I said, ‘No, that’s a television show.’ She said, ‘What about Lou Dobbs? Isn’t that a newspaper?’ And I said, ‘No, that’s a man. Lou Dobbs is a man.’ And there wasn’t much more I could do. I’m not a miracle worker.”

If I were Governor of Alaska, I might consider keeping tabs on what’s being said in Alaska magazine.

The guy just repeated it without any pause at all despite it coming from a political satire website.

I mean, there's a monumental difference between how Palin has been treated and how Obama and Biden have been treated by the MSM and conservative pundits.

To be fair, Biden graduated from the bottom of his class at a terrible law school, so we should cut him some slack.
