Labels aside, who would you have suggested as an alternative?

^Edwards would have been nice. So he cheated on his wife - what politician hasn't?

It would not have worked because of the affair. Not even possible. A lot of politicians have not. And there are additional circumstances with his wife's cancer, and his $400 haircuts.

Just my bias. I've never thought he was good at all. He's the type of politician who wanted "end poverty" by spending money. He's done. Stick a fork in him. Thank god he wasn't chosen, because the affair would have been an issue to attack him, his character, and Obama's leadership, if he had picked him.

Also, Edwards is young and lack foreign policy experience. Biden is the counter-balance.

My personal favourite would have been Al Gore.

Why's that?
'Cause he's been so spot-on with the MMGW thing?

Biden can't tell the difference between a Brigade and a Battalion!
Real fine VP material!

[H]eralding his own experience, Biden also said he “know(s) as much as anyone in government about” national security and foreign policy.
And for the third time since his acceptance speech a week ago, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee confused battalions and brigades.
“Over a year and a half ago,” Biden said of Obama. “He said we need two more combat battalions in Afghanistan.”

Actually, Obama called for two more combat brigades.

A brigade is bigger than a battalion — a brigade, in fact, is composed of a varying number of battalions.

Political Punch

Plus, this asshole wants to put GWB on trial for the war he himself voted for!

Obama sounds like a fine CinC. Biden's remarks are irrelevant as last time I checked a VP was not the CinC. Sides, probably more important Obama's Secretary of Defense have this knowledge. Hey, McCain for Sec Defense!!! It has a nice ring to it.

He'll most likely be running in the next election if McCain wins. The dude has such a high public opinion that I doubt anyone could beat him.

One and Done if you lose a presidential election.

Jet Gorgon · 07-09-2008, 03:20 AM

^^ Oh, the guy who invented the Internet and uses more power for his mansion and jet than probably even the White House? Global warming my tush. Al Gore is a has been, IMO. Phony as a two dollar bill.

durianfan · 07-09-2008, 03:32 AM

^Well, there is a two dollar bill, so your analogy doesn't really work.

panama hat · 07-09-2008, 06:55 PM

So, why are my posts deleted? Is jet a bit too precious to be called on one of her many idiotic posts?

First time for everything, I guess.

Jet - some advice - don't post crap if you can't handle the returns . . . piss-weak.

Come on...she obviously meant a 'three dollar bill.' Besides, she's a foreigner. How can she know which currency notes the US has?

panama hat · 07-09-2008, 07:16 PM

Foreigner? She's not one of us?

That explains a lot . . .

Oh, just for clarification;

durianfan · 07-09-2008, 07:17 PM

^She shouldn't have made the analogy, then.

And why were panama's posts deleted? I didn't think there was anything wrong with them.

raycarey · 07-09-2008, 07:31 PM

^

jet is as 'delicate' as a girl 50 years her junior, and more often than not, she can't take the heat.

panama hat · 07-09-2008, 07:43 PM

Yea, don't really care that much about some posts being deleted, but they weren't even offensive, rather just being my humorous self . . .

What I don't get is that she is so offensive and aggressive towards others, yet can't take a ribbing, it seems.

Easy to give reds for no reason as well . . . Piss-weak . . . again.

How does this post relate to Joe Biden?
More Conservative-bashing on your part again, Jason?
