biden is stuttering. hehehee. }:CP

LOL. He started out by smiling down at her and being amused by her. Now he's mad.

[7 Wishes]

Please. He is in full control. She's as nervous as a nerd on prom night, and if she says "John McCain" one more time, I'm going to have to hit the mute button.

[treetopovskaya]

it's refreshing. }:C)

yer a negative fuck aren't ya?

Lowest common denominator pandering.
If her "gee golly" and "you betcha" naivete appeals to to you, more power to you.

You're kidding, right? She's getting her ass handed to her.

Both have made good points. Both have been shown wrong by the other. Neither has made a major gaffe. It's a draw and only a strictly partisan view could lead anyone to think otherwise thus far.

Obama: John is right
Biden: I agree with Governor Palin

Opening up the reserves will only add 1% to the U.S.' 25% of the world's oil supply consumption.

Most of the time I've heard of the reserves being opened up, it's been Dems asking for it. Not a good idea, in my opinion, unless absolutely necessary.

Biden spouting class warfare....a Dem tradition.

Amazing, how its only "class warfare" when the richest percentile is asked to pay a fair share.
Most would argue the revolt against the bailout this week was class warfare at its most populist.

This could all be solved by a flat tax or, better yet, the Fair Tax.

Cut funding against the troops...another lie....

The biggest question I would like to have answered by either of these vice presidential campaigners is, what the fuck is that spot on Biden's forehead?

[The_Noble_Cause]

"white flag of surrender"... nah, that doesn't sound familiar at all.

Last I checked the top 1% are paying well over 30%. How much is a fair share to you? Taking all of it then propping them up with a stick to go out and earn more for you?

she's doing a great job not answering direct questions.

Then she must be on par with Biden. Come on, this is a political debate. What do you expect?

sarah added some blonde highlights. she's lightened her hair. love her jacket.

This is where I part company with other conservatives. The 1% & 30% argument is misleading because of this...Of course the top earners are going to pay a larger percentage of the total tax burden simply because they earn more money. However, that does not mean that they are being unfairly taxed compared to middle income earners.

You know they didn't and deem yourself able to determine what they do and don't deserve? Your last name isn't Marx is it?

Where is Stevew to compliment Joe Biden's looks?

[conversationpc]

but me dear joe lays down facts while sarah tows the line.

Sarah hasn't towed the Republican line any more than Joe has the liberal Democrat line. Remember, Obama and, I would guess Biden also, towed the Democrat line 97% of the time.

BOSNIACS???


(bah ha ha haa!!)

Sarah further perpetuated the "air raiding villages" distortion which is mentioned daily by Hannity and other AM radio carnival barkers.
Like others have noted, she is the definitive Rush Limbaugh candidate.

Amazing how both Sarah and McSenile have adopted fiery Huey Long populist rhetoric all of a sudden.
What is their party affiliation again?

She can hand it to me if she needs someone to hold it for her.

I'm not saying they shouldn't pay a higher rate. What I'm saying is "how much is enough" and who is any politician to make that call. It's also misleading when libs point out how much money in tax breaks they get compared to those who don't pay in the first place.

Funny I listen to Rush every day and don't have a clue what your talking about.

I'm not saying they SHOULD pay a higher rate. Everyone should pay the same rate. Someone earning $1,000,000 should pay the same rate as someone earning $50,000.
