Unbelievable Repug tactic

[peaches2003]

Just listening to Michael Steele(?) from MD and some other Repug hack on Faux News. They are saying Biden is going back to Delaware and you will rarely see him with Obama because Biden looks so old and like O's grandfather! These words from the mouths of McCain supporters!? Joe looks and acts like a fit and trim man in his 60s. How do these fools think they can get away with this Grandfather garbage and why would they bring up such a ludicrous image when they have McCain on their podium who looks 5 steps from Alzheimers. Bob Beckel almost choked!

1. watch it, bud

McCain was a pow.

2. ...

:rofl:

[gateley]

3. Believe it. And more to come. They have NOTHING of substance. nt

4. McZombie supporters are saying Biden looks old?!! Wow! / nt

[babylonsister]

5. Wonder what they'll say about McCranky when he picks someone

younger than him; isn't everyone younger?

[Franks Wild Years]

10. I was going to suggest that he make himself look young while shocking the world by...

...bringing back Bush I for a 'single-term spectacular' but then I realised that McGolfingBuddy looks at least a decade younger than him.

[Jackpine Radical]

25. Not necessarily. I expect him to pick Reagan.

Half the Republicans don't know he's dead, and the other half don't care. Just like they didn't care about his dementia for the entire last term.

27. You mean, like Condi Rice--dawg-gone that's like a, trifecta, or sumpin'. nt

6. pot meet kettle.

7. I think they're desperate. I also think they've been reading their own reviews . . .

a bit too much -- as in "don't attack your opponent's weaknesses, attack his strengths." Biden is deeply experienced. It's one reason, IMO, he's on the ticket. So what do the pugs do? Try to conflate "experience" and "old."

Shortsighted, I know, but when have 'Licans looked beyond what will happen in a single news cycle?

Besides -- why do they think that Biden trotted the last 10 yards to the podium in Springfield? To show he could (unlike McAncient).

[EC]

8. While they are dragging out every black republican they can

find to make McCain look less bigoted?

[mamalone]

9. I said it in another thread...

and I'll say it again...

As for Biden looking old, if all the 65yo men looked like Joe Biden my world would be a much more pleasant place, lol.

11. You have a stronger stomach than I do

I don't even turn the Faux Noise channel on for any reason. Even seeing it on my program guide makes me queasy. :puke:

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

12. Michael Steele is dissing people on looks now? LOL! He looks EXACTLY like Humpty Hump!

(The lead guy from Digital Underground who wore a fake nose.)

[Muttocracy]

13. Biden's age as an issue? Alright, friends, let's go there...

[butterfly77]

14. Anyone notice how the CONS are talking about anything but...

the issues they are now on chris matthews talking about the way he chose his vp,and they now have a clock up to see how soon Biden will make a gaffe.Yes they are desperate and in the coming weeks we will really see how I have heard all types of nonsense on rightwing radio..

[southerncrone]

15. HA HA HA!! Anybody who thinks ANYONE can keep Biden in a bell jar

is obviously unfamiliar w/Mr. Biden! Even Barak, as talented as he is, won't be capable of pushing Joe under a rug...and why would he?

Remember the neo-cons are used to getting away with saying anything about anyone & having it stick. It's worked for them because MSM has insulated & promoted them at every turn.

I truly believe that Amurika is waking up to this. Let's pray they are anyway! John Q. Public has become skeptical of Repukes because they are hurting in the pocketbook, and that has gotten their attention focused more on the political arena than it's been in years. People view the Repukes as the enemy who put them in economic straits.

It's all good for us!

16. When was the last time McSame ran across a stage?

[Ichingcarpenter]

17. He rode shot gun in his 20s

[Arkana]

18. Nah.

Biden and Obama will be a two-headed monster--they both are very charismatic and will be able to draw large crowds by themselves.

And what will that mean if McAngryoldprick chooses a guy like Jindal or Pawlenty or even Romney? Are they gonna want to be seen with a guy who looks like he's gonna keel over and die at any second?

[eleny]

19. Let them keep shooting themselves in the foot

[northernlights]

20. maybe it's a way of preparing us for what's to come

McSame chooses Methuselah for veep, in order to make himself look less ancient.

[Erin Elizabeth]

21. I think Biden is a very good-looking man

and I'm 38. I saw some pictures of him as a young man, and whooo, he was handsome then, too. Just as I thought.

Yeah, I don't think they want to go down that road when they've got Grandpa Simpson over there mumbling about how when he was a kid, bees were on the quarter and they all wore onions on their belts.

[CheekyLilMonkey]

22. Biden looks TOO good next to Obama

That's the problem. Side-by-side, Biden's experience makes Obama look weak. They are better if they are kept apart.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

26. Does he make Obama look "cheeky"?

:eyes:

23. did the mcsame gaffe clock break?

in a desperate attempt to regain some form of dignity, the propagandists for the repug party shrieked the word gaffe and pointed at the dem vp nominee. still, the even the brainless couldn't be torn from the truth about mccone-of-silence-11-houses-mother-theresa-asked-me-to-adopt-a-baby liar.

hee hee get 'em Joe. :spank:

7 kitchen tables mcsame.

24. p.s. don't forget repuke tp of the day:-)

not that you need me to remind you :-) it's a real snorer today.

"think I've heard EVERY Repub. surrogate/strategist/whatever saying it was "revealing" that Obama chose Biden because it proves he knows he lacks experience and NEEDS someone like Biden. Then they all point out how Biden himself said Obama's not ready."

SNORE -- this is all they got, I can feel them quaking with fear. the audience today was like the Plebeians taking over. the working people always rise up - it's history and they know it.

He picked Biden because together, they are unstoppable. The have integrity. Bush had so much experience and we saw what that got us. Just sayin'.

GOBAMA! YES WE CAN!!
