Those heartless bastards!
I am sitting here wondering if I should post this out there - I'll wait to hear what you guys think.

So I decided to turn on Fux news to hear what they were saying.
Yeah - they are running scared BUT they are on total attack mode.

Let me calm down and report....

Why would Obama pick someone who has miserably failed twice in his own Presidential bid?
Why aren't they campaigning together tomorrow? Then they rattled off every other Pres/VP combo that all campaigned together (it is a good question.)
They love their ad that uses Biden's words against Obama.
Why Biden? He brings nothing except foreign policy experience but that doesn't mean a thing because Obama is still on top of the ticket - blah, blah, blah.

And the icing on the cake - the RNC has put up a Biden Gaffe Clock. How long until Biden makes his first gaffe.

I AM SO FUCKING MAD!

1. Actually it is quite funny
That is major desperation on their part. Also the people who listen to them and buy that crap aren't ever going to vote for Obama/Biden.

I'd go ahead and post it out there. It will just build that much more sympathy and support for Biden amongst Democrats. We might attack each other, but don't like it when "they" attack one of our own.

P.S. Don't turn on FOX again unless you enjoy misery!

2. That's just it. They were attacking Biden.
I'm sorry - the clock part really pisses me off.
Poor Joe. They are just waiting for him to blow it.

3. More like "hoping" he'll blow it
Of course they're attacking Biden. He's the worst threat to the republicans. He's the one they definitely didn't want on the ticket and this is the ticket that scares the crap out of them.

They have the most pathetic excuse for a candidate and they're very nervous.

When Biden said "Barak America" they are calling it his first gaffe...give me a break.

5. Oh crap
There were a lot of gaffes from a lot of people the past 24 hours. I loved "O'Biden" and several people said it. Now its a catchy word. Obama introduced Joe as "the next president of the United States". Everyone is fucking Gaffe Machine!

"Barack America" - that was odd (not bad), do you suppose it was intentional?

6. I think he mispoke. But, hey, I like it.
I posted a thread out there saying that should be our new slogan -

Let's Barack America!


The DNC really should put up a McCain gaffe clock. He makes them on a daily basis.
That's what drives me nuts, WHY is it that the repugs think of these things first?

7. We should have something like that
Repugs think of things like that because they have nothing to sell. They are all smoke and mirrors. I think Rovian tactics have been overused now and people have finally caught on (except for those few who will never get it).

14. better yet we should tally McNobrain's gaffes.
That would be far more telling than a clock.

16. I hope we'll do more than just 'tally' his gaffes;
seeing them/reminding of them should do REAL damage, imo.

8. We knew this was coming
Edited on Sun Aug-24-08 03:20 AM by ribrepin
I really like Joe, but he has some negatives. I wanted him to stay in the senate where the light on him will not shine as brightly and continue being Joe.

He's what the party needs on the ticket and he took that role, but he will be criticized. Go Joe and put on your flame retardant suit.

The DNC needs to put up a device to count the McCain money...kinda like the debt clock or a clock to count the debt under McCain's tax cuts.

10. I'm half asleep, but we should...
1. Put up a "how long until Mc Ugly "cheats on this wife clock" (as if anyone would fuck him)
2. Consider the source. Only low mentality people watch Fox.

Those are my first thoughts. But I knew they would do this, and it was my greatest fear if he was "the guy".

11. It pisses me off that they are waiting for his gaffes,
but don't report his great one liners, like the 7 kitchen tables. But then, I expect that kind of one sided reporting from faux.

CNN is becoming more & more like faux. They play McCain's ads as part of their 'news' broadcast so McCain gets all this free advertising. How many times did I see them play the 7 kitchen tables line? Only once, when they covered the entire speech. After that, not at all. This is why our battles are so hard to win. We are up against a media that is a mouthpiece for the right wing machine.

:eyes: :crazy: :grr:
