My issue with Biden is that he is a LIAR!!!!!

[Vote2008]

He said "I am not the Guy" only a few days ago. And he was the "Guy"!! :sarcasm:

:-)

I cannot wait for McLame to run an ad with that quote. They are that desperate!

[thunder rising]

1. Get a clue. He didn't know.

[Honeycombe8]

31. He was making a joke...a pun on all those critical threads. nt

[Egnever]

2. um ok

Have a nice day!

[GoneOffShore]

3. Ok

:hi:

Enjoy your stay(or the pizza).

[NancyG]

4. You know he wasn't The Guy on Tuesday

and he didn't know he was until Thursday in the dentist's chair.

[mzmolly]

5. He found out sometime Thursday. It's possible that he didn't

know.

[1corona4u]

6. Perhaps the freepers will read my post...

;-)

If the reports are correct, and I think they are, about him finding out in the dentist office, he didn't lie. He made that comment on Tuesday, Wednesday he went to the dump, and Thursday is the day he left riding shotgun in a car, and went to "run errands".(dentist) It was also reported that day, that he spent a great deal of time on his phone, and now we know why.

Biden on Obama's VP Pick: 'I'm Not The Guy' - Aug 19, 2008

Aug 20, 2008 ... “A successful dump!” Biden proclaimed when asked if he had anything to report, gesturing to the truck bed now devoid of logs. ...

Thursday;

A more buttoned-up BidenPosted: Thursday, August 21, 2008 2:47 PM by Domenico Montanaro

From Mike Memoli and Carrie Dann
WILMINGTON, Del. -- The Joe Biden of stakeouts past -- the one who handed out bagels and willingly stopped for quick chats -- is gone. A man who seemed to relish the attention of the press during the first two days of the veep vigil is now all business and acting, dare we say, more vice presidential.

News crews have had only brief sightings of the Delaware senator today. Instead of driving his pickup truck, Biden rode shotgun as he left his house in the car of a staffer this morning. Seen in more formal attire, Biden headed downtown to seemingly run errands, talking often on the phone as he went.

Biden also stopped in at a local cafe, but the potential VP pick managed to sneak out a different exit. Asked if the senator went out the front door or a back door, a waitress smiled and said, "He's avoiding you guys. Stop following him."

By this time, Biden had returned at his home, called the "Lake House" in Biden Land. Eventually his wife, Jill, and son, Beau, also arrived. But less than an hour passed before Biden left again, this time driving in a silver SUV with his wife, with nary a whisper -- or some munchables for the press.

A Biden spokesperson said he had no events on the public schedule today. At the nearest airport, no signs of an impending departure. And still no text message from the Obama campaign announcing a selection.

So now there's no reason to think he lied. As usual, he was being honest, because he didn't think he was "the guy".


(in the event they missed it before...)

7. Mmm this popcorn is great!

:popcorn:

[gblady]

17. did you say popcorn?

I going to get me some!

[Honeycombe8]

32. Please pass it down this way. Don't mind if I add butter, do you? nt

[Andy823]

8. He said that on Tuesday

According to the news today, he was not told he was Obama's choice till "THURSDAY"! He is NOT a liar. Check out the facts before you make such claims.

[senseandsensibility]

9. I get that you're joking

even if others don't. We have kind of a blind spot for this kind of humor after eight years of * ; I'm sure you understand.

[Vote2008]

12. LOL....you are the only one. People here are clueless about sarcasm...I had to add an icon!!!

[senseandsensibility]

16. I noticed that you added the sarcasm thingee

but really, you shouldn't have had to. The original smilee thing wasn't even even necessary. But then again, it's Saturday night... maybe some have had a few and their reading comprehenion is impaired...

[flamingdem]

29. uh yeah, I think they did not read the sarcasm thingy nt

[MichiganVote]

10. If that's your only problem you're a lucky person. Now grow up and quit being a jerk.

[blitzen]

11. As I said in a thread yesterday, the main thing about being the Guy...

is that you don't have to say that you're the Guy. If you have to say that you're the Guy, then you're not the Guy. Not to mention the fact that, when you are the Guy, you are beyond truth and falsity. It is impossible to lie if you're the Guy.

[C_U_L8R]

13. He wasn't the guy then... but he is now

simple : - ))))

and isn't it great !!!!!

[Booster]

14. Name me a politician that hasn't lied, and I'll buy you a beer.

[cliffordu]

bad post. nevermind

[washingdem]

15. I know you're joking, but let me just say it anyway: He said that meaning "I'm not Biden" as a joke

[MiniMe]

18. Unfortunately, some people have posted today making that comment

and meaning it. Yes, it is amusing, but there have been too may posts here trying to discredit Biden. :hi:

[movonne]

19. Who are you and why are you here???? no wonder we have bush

for president...we need higher IQ's..

[AuntPatsy]

20. cant believe how many took you seriously? it was a secret, I agree

they the media bloodhounds are stupid and desperate enough to use such a ridiculous attack

[Vote2008]

21. I cannot believe people took this as anything except a joke and a slam of the GOP ad machine!

[DarthDem]

22. Sorry

On behalf of DU, I apologize for the sarcam detectors being turned off. Well, okay, I apologize for myself only. Even though I got it.

Good post. :D

[Vote2008]

23. Thanks! I'll write it off as a stressful week for all of us!!

[RollWithIt]

24. I understand the joke.... but this is now the homestretch.....

It's gametime people.... FOCUS ON MCSAME.

[RagAss]

33. You mean McHouses......and maybe McMormon too.....

[RedShoes]

25. no he's not. He did not qualify WHAT guy he was not.

[On the Road]

26. That's the Kind of Liar I Want in the White House

If a matter needs to be kept secret, and saying "no comment" isn't good enough, he has to be able to look reporters in the eye and deny it with conviction.

[mckara]

27. Perfect for Running Against Republicans

Republicans wouldn't know the truth if it knocked them over the head!

[curious one]

28. Please feel free to go back to freerepublic.com.

[WinkyDink]

30. Heh. Biden WASN'T "that guy"! He was...........DA MAN!!

:)

[WeDidIt]

34. I figured out the timeline

Whe he was leaving in his car and was asked, he answered, "I'm not the guy."

He was on his way to the dentist for a root canal.

He was interrupted during that root canal by Barack Obama's phone call making the offer.

[RichGirl]

35. Hey...maybe...

...when he was being chased by all that paparazzi he thought they were looking for Britney's baby daddy. So he said "I'm not the guy!"
