Biden Time

8/23/08, 12:55 pm EST

As Obama often said about Hillary, Joe Biden would have been on anyone’s shortlist.

Foreign affairs experience off the charts. An alternately affable and acid-tongued personality — long the Democrats’ Sunday talk show answer to one John McCain. White. Catholic. A senior citizen. Roots in Scranton — ground zero of swingable Pennsylvania. The only middle-class senator in America.

Obama has picked an undeniably qualified governing partner who also happens to be the best political trench-fighter in the party.

He’s got well publicized baggage but, hey, who in this race doesn’t?

This was the best of the safe picks.

Biden is a perfect choise. Now, that McCain chose, Sarah Palin (who? -Exactly.) They have no chance at the the White House. McCain is 90% Bush and this lady is a 1st time governor. Can’t wait for the debates!

OBAMA PROSTITUTION A NEO-MARXIST DELUSION

Obama’s desperate enemies, the Neo-Con Republicans and Neo-Lib Democrats in positions of power in government, education, industry, teacher and labor unions, and news and entertainment media continuously strive to induce presidents, congressmen, and judges to serve as their political prostitutes. Their Crypto-Neo-Marxist divisive politics and notorious subversive contempt for nationalism, Christian culture, Constitutional Law, Kennedy Liberals and Reagan Conservatives make them an increasingly intolerable threat to the American People fighting in the escalating Cultural War.

Having had their notoriously vicious and crooked candidates, Leiberman Neo-Lib Clinton and Podhoretz Neo-Con McCain defeated; they have stopped their hate-baiting and slandering, and have cunningly started their tactical systematic ingratiation to Obama, with flattery and money.

Shall Obama prostitute himself; or shall Obama prosecute them? Shall he keep counsel with Liberal Kennedy and Conservative Reagan, or shall he keep counsel with Neo-Lib Clinton and Neo-Con Bush? Shall he be their master, like Kennedy and Reagan; or shall he be their nig*er, like Clinton and Bush?

it’ll be intriguing to see the biden folk, i.e., boston’s larry rasky, toss former clinton hack, now oba’s v.p. chief of staff, under the bus. it would be out of the biden mold to hang on to sommeones throw away.

Playing it safe is choosing John McCain as the GOP’s nominee.

careful what you wish for.
Only good intent.
I hope the sheep will be released by the dragon to be nature’s children once more.
Lions know how to care for their herds, would never intentionally hurt their charges.

Sometimes you wish for a bursting water dam in Russia and it comes back and destroys une in the grand canyon.

We really need the birds of prey, my friend,
to thin out the herd of sheep
most Americans have become.

Jed,
“tough times,
demand tough talk,
demand tough hearts,
demand tough songs …demand.

Attack the day like birds of prey my friends, or you will become prey yourselves.”

SA-WEEET!

stand corrected, I demure to your experience.

Jed,

It was ‘common knowledge’ that JFK picked LBJ for political considerations. For one thing, it was obvious that he would bring in TX.

But I recently read Manchester’s and Sallinger’s books on Kennedy and both said Jack truly admired LBJ. Now that could very well have been for the record, but even LBJ always asserted that JFK was a stand-up guy. Not Bobby, however.

Dennis, is anyone really ever in complete control of what they do, particualrly in the political arena? would you have chosen willingly to get shipped off to another land for an ideology?

You seem to think JFK liked and admired Johnson. I’ve read accounts where the opposite was true, he understood he was forced to accept the choice of a member of the ‘CBC’(corrup bastards club) because of the way the system is set up by the elite members of the 1%. The same happened to Reagan, why is this? Why aren’t the people, the public allowed to decide who #2 will be? Why isn’t the pres allowed to replace him when he’s lost confidence in his abilities or intent?
Why, having so many options for impeachment available to them, have the american people not removed the evil elements from the seats of power despite their innefective leaders? Fear? apathy? lack of intellect? An education system that doesn’t teach them the responsabilities of the populace in a ‘free’ society?
You’re right, voting probably wouldn’t make a bit of difference, at this point guillotines seem to be the only solution.
Luckily, it only amounts to about 1% of the population that need to be convinced to change for the sake of all humanity. Unfortunately, they control the tools of repression in the security aparatus.
Remeber how Chinese soldiers fired on their own countrymen, who were making their grievances heard in accordance with their constitution, even though they could have been shooting their own family members?
Remeber when it happened at kent state?

tough times,
demand tough talk,
demand tough hearts,
demand tough songs …demand.

Attack the day like birds of prey my friends, or you will become prey yourselves.

I can see the right wing blogs now…

In 2000 it was “Sore Loserman,” Now it’s going to be “OSAMA Bin l-IDEN ‘08″

Makes me sick that people actually vote on this kind of garbage; That a guy’s name is actually an issue.

DirtyDennis | 8/23/2008, 1:43 pm EST

So, playing it safe is what Obama’s all about?

‘Play it safe’ candidates are a dime a dozen. Say he chose Biden ’cause he thought he was the best ‘man,’ but DON’T say it was/is the safe choice. Please. It’s the kiss of death.
