Inside Edition

just did a piece showing Biden lying, on 2 occasions, about the sobriety of the man that killed his first Wife and daughter.

This poor man was portrayed by Biden as being drunk when no proof exists.

Democratics like leaders that plays fast and loose with the truth.

Feel better now, Brian?

Having posted one more of your pussy little one-liners?

You can't deal with it, can you, punk? The Dems are getting it together. Your phony war hero will probably fall asleep during his speech, or shit his pants.

You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.

Those poor Vietnamese were portrayed by Candidate McSame as torturers when the fact of the matter is that Bush, Cheney, and Senator McCain agree they were nothing more than innocent enhancely interrogators.

Actually Biden said he

Actually Biden said he thinks the guy was drunk. That was his opinion. He probably believes it was true.
There probably was evidence that led him to that conclusion. Just because a person can pass a breathalizer test doesn't mean that he or she wasn't drunk at the time of an accident (Just ask "twelve-hours later" Cheney.) And what USED to be considered legal is now considered drunk, which means that our understanding of what constitutes impaired driving has changed with more evidence.

Just caught some video.

There sure was a crapload of false patriotism going on tonite at the DNC. Flag-lapel pins everywhere.

btw, Biden's a groper - always touching the little girls - noticed it the other night and tonight - not acceptable.

By its_so_overAugust 28, 2008 - 2:09am

Are you nuts? A groper? It's

Are you nuts? A groper? It's a sad day in America when a grandfather can't hug his grandchildren.

Ugh!...


Sometimes its_so_over actually makes me PHYSICALLY ill... just nauseous!... What the fuck is wrong with people like its_so_over??... NO KIDDING! How evil and warped is his sick, sick mind?

Yes, Joe Biden is incredibly tender with his family... His ENTIRE family. He touches his mother AND SONS in the same way. He KISSES his sons and even called them "seetheart" when they were young.

He touches his family members like they are as fragile and precious as Fabergé Eggs (look it up, Contards)... because tragedy has taught him that they truly are.

It is a sign of an EXTREMELY healthy and well adjusted family AS OPPOSED TO THE DYSFUNCTIONAL FREAKSHOW that is the McCains. I find Biden's tenderness touching (no pun intended).

... Just another example of the right's "family values" and "compassionate conservatism"... They hate love and love hate.

The problem with Biden hugging the child

...was that it was HIS family. If it had been someone else's small boy, and in the privacy of the bedroom, Itsy would have been all right with it, because that was how Itsy was raised.

A G - right on

Needed to be said, just the way you did. I mean, how low can THEY go?

By its_so_over August 28, 2008 - 3:09am

Yes, yes. We get it.
It's only acceptable to be like Republican members of Congress and touch little boys.

Anything to get attention, eh ISO?

You're weird, man.

By thaelmann37August 28, 2008 - 8:15am

YOU HAVE TO PLAY HARDBALL TO BEAT DIRTY REPUBS.

Get used to this Republican asshole "its' so over". This is the kind of people Republicans are. This is why they will win this election.

Let me explain something. People want to feel safe. Even though we KNOW the Republicans have made us less safe, devastated our Armed Forces, bankrupted our economy, still they come out fighting. People respect that. They respect someone who is willing to fight and tell it like it is, or at least what they think it is.

If I hear “resonate” once more, I am going to puke. We don’t need to hear “kum by ya” and “let’s open the window to the bright and shiny light that is tomorrow’s day”.

We need to hit the Republicans.

DICK CHENEY WAS NOT MENTIONED ONCE.

GUANTANAMO TORTURE WAS NOT MENTIONED ONCE.

I heard Katrina mentioned only once and as part of a laundry list of words.

I NEVER HEARD WALTER RIED MENTIONED ONCE.

I NEVER HEARD THAT WE WERE MISLED INTO IRAQ.

I NEVER HEARD THAT IT’S A CRIME THAT WE HAVEN’T CAUGHT BIN LADIN.

Instead, there is all this fucking “reaching out” and “let’s heal the wounds”. Barf!

This is a political race to throw out of office terrible people that have greatly damaged our country.

When the Republicans start next week, they will brand Obama a Sunni Terrorists on the side of those that took out the WTC. They will tie him to Wright and Rezko. And they will be playing hardball.

This convention was so soft and so retarded; the Democrats may not be able to recover.

If you think Obama is going to give a hard-hitting speech tonight, forget it. It will be another of those puke filled, “We are the World” speeches.

We are going to have four years of McCain. And then Hillary will get another shot. Believe me, I am most definitely NOT a Hillary supporter, but at least she knows how to play hardball.

This convention has left me terribly sad that Democrats, with all their ideals could be so weak and spineless.

Bill Clinton almost played hardball but didn’t. Joe Biden absolutely didn’t.

Wow. You've managed to copy/paste this on every thread.
I won't point out that such an action is in the mode of our old trolls hatey and brikeyes. Nor will I point out that each and every one of your posts has been nothing more than uninformed handwringing, seemingly meant to stir up anger in others and sew discontent.
Oh, I just did.
It would be one thing if your attempts were based in some sort of fact.
However, they are devoid of as much and come off as nothing more than trolling.
But, as you've managed to copy/paste on all the threads including this one, you've also managed to provide me with another opportunity to say:

Shut. The. Fuck. Up.

YOU SHOULD BE SAYING THAT TO THE REPUBLICANS

.
You are right. It is handwringing. That the Democrats aren't playing hardball.

You watch. McCain as turned this into a referendum on Obama. McCain has called Obama a traitor, saying that he wouldn't mind losing a war to win an election. McCain has completely defined Obama. That's the way it's played in politics. You have to define your opponent.

How many Americans believe Obama is a Muslim? Look how he has been tied to Rev Wright and Rezko.

When Clinton left office, there was a 120 billion surplus. Now there is a 500 billion deficit.

We are spending 10 billion a month in Iraq.

The Iraq constitution makes it a fundamentalist Islamic country.

1.4 million Christians have been decimated to 700,000 and when we leave they will finish the job.

The Iraqis have 80 billion in oil money sitting in our banks, while we mortgage our children’s future paying for everything.

Our country tortures and has secret prisons.

Our economy is being devastated.

People from Katrina are STILL suffering.

McCain wants to start more wars.

Our military has been devastated and our wounded soldiers are being sent to Walter Reid and Fort Sill, mold covered pest holes.

We have 200,000 veterans living on the streets.

And you are accusing me of stirring up discontent?

Good. We need discontent. What the Democrats have done the last three days is terrible. They need to stand up to the neocons, but when you have Democrats saying, “Let’s reach across the isle and make the future bright and shiny”, the entirely WRONG message is being sent.

You watch, if the Republicans can accuse Obama of being a traitor BEFORE their convention, there is nothing they won’t say or do. I believe McCain will be elected if this campaign stays weak.

By deanrddAugust 28, 2008 - 10:20am

Patience my friend, patience.


Timing is everything.

McCain has shot his load while Obama has kept his powder dry.

The impact of McCain's smears diminish every time these lies are told... and the universal McCain response of "yeah, but I was a P.O.W." is already hackneyed... worn and thread-bare.

OBAMA IS GOING TO CLEAN McCAIN'S CLOCK... I GUAREN-FUCKING-TEE IT.

By A GAugust 28, 2008 - 10:44am

Saving those for later

deanrdd -- they are saving those "issues" for later. There are still 67 or so days to go, and the Dems have to have something to do between now and then. If they don't, then THEY WANT TO LOSE.
