Palin takes aim at Biden: 'Not an agent of change'

http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Palin_takes_first_swipe_at_Biden_0906.html

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado — US Republican vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin took her first swipe at her Democratic counterpart Saturday, casting Joe Biden as a Washington insider incapable of change.

"The choice a presidential nominee makes for a running mate says a lot about him," Palin told a flag-waving crowd at an airport hangar in the western state of Colorado.

"Senator Biden can claim many chairmanships across many, many years in Washington and certain many friends in the Washington establishment, but even those admirers would not call him an agent of change."

The Republican ticket, solidified just this past week shortly after standardbearer John McCain chose Palin, the 44-year-old governor of Alaska, to be his running mate, has been trying to poach Democratic White House nominee Barack Obama's mantle of change by promising to reform Washington.

"Senator McCain has called the two of us a team of mavericks," Palin said before describing how she cut wasteful spending and implemented ethics reform in Alaska.

"He's willing to shake things up in Washington and that's only one more reason to take the maverick of the Senate and put him in the White House."

Palin, who was elected governor two years ago after fighting corruption in her own party, is popular among staunch conservatives and religious "values" voters, but was widely unknown on the national stage before she was tapped for the ticket last week.

A new opinion poll showed American voters remained lukewarm about the self-described "hockey mom," doubting her readiness for politics on the largest stage after a mere 20 months at her state's helm.

While six in 10 of those surveyed approved of McCain's selection of Palin, only 42 percent believed she had the kind of experience it takes to serve effectively as president if that became necessary, according to the ABC News poll.

Biden, 65, passed the experience bar with 66 percent approval, the same poll found.

1. hahhahah.. her running mate hasn't been there for years ?

:D

She's funny.

[WinkyDink]

51. Oh, YES! But as a MAVERICK, don't cha know??

[Ichingcarpenter]

2. Biden praises his opponent then totally destroys the house they live in

He will not be gentle in the destruction of her house of cards.

Her? She will be left standing with a moose shit eating grin on her face.

[Top Cat]

26. He needs to kick her ass...... She wants to be treated equally so bring it on.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

38. Joe Biden can fart a better thought than Moosey will ever come up with

if she lives to be 200 years old.

[TwilightGardener]

3. If Joe Biden can't pass the experience bar with more than 66%, who can?

Odd results. Good to know people (outside the rabid base GOPers shown on TV) are lukewarm on her. In my extended family, we go beyond lukewarm. The general consensus is that she's a shallow flaming bitch.

[elleng]

14. "A new opinion poll "

????

Wouldn't give THAT much credence.

[begin_within]

4. She has become a trained monkey.

[DesertFlower]

24. OMG. lol

[Bobbie Jo]

33. That would be 'chimpette'

:)

[Matariki]

39. Hey, does anyone have a link to a bigger photo of Palin wagging her finger?

I want to send it to a few people.

[begin_within]

49. Here you go

[Waiting For Everyman]

48. That Church Lady pic got to me! And so similar for real!

Satan made her "diss" Biden!!!

[Monk06]

54. That is a wicked morph. Nice PS. Takes some drawing skill to pull that off.

[begin_within]

56. Thanks but it was actually easy.

just pasted 4 pictures and 2 logos, 6 layers in all, sized them so they fit with each other, then stripped away half of each using the gradient tool in the quick mask mode. Same with the logos. A lot easier and quicker than it seems. No drawing involved at all. I was amazed how well the faces fit. I just wish the Palin and Cheney faces showed the full faces. Thanks though.

[Monk06]

58. Well masking went over my head when I took PS 4.. but when I said

nice drawing I didn't mean using drawing tools
but having a drawers sense of composition and
proportion. It's a sweet and subtle composition

Cheney/Palin is a keeper and should be circulated
widely.

[begin_within]

60. Thanks,

I appreciate it. To illustrate what I did, just paste a photo on top of another, then on the top one, go to the QuickMask mode. then click on the gradient tool, then click and drag the mouse, then half of the image will be red and half clear, with a gradual change. Then go back to regular mode, hit the delete key, and hald of the upper photo will be wiped away, but gradually rather than an abrupt line. The trick was to get the faces to line up before doing that, but it still wan't that hard. Thanks for the compliment.

[Glimmer of Hope]

61. Your morphs freak me out.

[blonndee]

5. F*** her up, Joe.

Devastate her, and smile while you're doing it. I know you can. :)

[Barack_America]

6. "Joe Biden...", Palin said, speaking in front of a crowd waving STOLEN flags!

:grr:

[dkf]

7. Has she ever met an Earmark she didn't love?

She didn't even turn down the Bridge to Nowhere money. What a flaming hypocrite.

[slinkerwink]

8. "That's nice, it's just too bad that she supports the same policies of George W. Bush"

"She came into office as mayor, ran her town into debt, and now she wants more of the same, just like John McCain."

[chatnoir]

9. Biden will obliterate this bloodthirsty beast

She deserves nothing less than to be smashed into a thousand pieces.

[symbolman]

10. Yeah, that Biden

putting out silly bills like the "Violence Against WOMEN" act..

Why should any woman care about that?

What a fucking MORON this Idiot War Mongering Cult Leader is.. :)

[Hekate]

41. Biden's "Violence Against Women" Act, which actually might have helped her own sister...

... a lot more than Sarah could by abusing the powers of her office.

Yeesh, what a dimwit. I hope she has to run back home with her tail between her legs, yep-yepping all the way about what meanies we are in the Lower 48.

Hekate

[babylonsister]

11. I'm thinking, w/o benefit of the media, she made a big mistake. OTOH, Biden

is on MTP tomorrow. Is she trying to hone in on the conversation, or is she 'that' clueless because she didn't know she'd be talked about anyway?

[eleny]

12. Biden is the agent of brains

[Ichingcarpenter]

18. Biden has a healthy ego and you know he will be asked tomorrow

about her statement...... That is gonna be must watch TV

[WinkyDink]

52. I hope he replies, "That's okay; she's still learning."

[AZBlue]

13. To the mainstream media: please start pointing out her lies about cutting wasteful spending

It's just not true.

[Ichingcarpenter]

17. remember we shouldn't attack Palin or talk about her too

You expect the main stream media to talk about the war, torture, wire tapping?

It took 5 years of bloggers work to call them into account.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

15. Bill Maher: "Sarah Barracuda, meet Joey the Shark."

[melody]

16. Oooooh, goodie -- Joe, over to you for a response

LMAO!!!

[Egnever]

19. Oh no she didnt!

"The choice a presidential nominee makes for a running mate says a lot about him," Palin told a flag-waving crowd at an airport hangar in the western state of Colorado."


LOL so true so true!

I agree with Sarah!

[RaleighNCDUer]

20. While six in 10 of those surveyed approved of McCain's selection of Palin, only 42 percent believed

she had the kind of experience it takes to serve effectively as president

IOW, 20% are so stupid that they actually approve of McCain choosing someone who they believe is too inexperienced for the job.

Gotta love em.

[Chan790]

28. Or people have a sense of humor...

I told a GOPer friend today that "I strongly-approve of the selection of Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate."

(Pause)

...

(Dramatic Pause)

(Pregnant Pause)

"It makes the sonofabitch easier to beat." :rofl:

[RaleighNCDUer]

30. LOL

True, they did not specify the affiliation of the respondants.

[regnaD kciN]

53. I could also see some people saying...

..."Well, I'm not going to vote for McCain anyway, but it's nice to see the Republicans pick a woman for the position."

[zulchzulu]

21. Sarah Palin is the Agent of Chains

Chains around women's rights...

Chains around solving climate change...

Chains around being accessible to the people...

Chains around the possibility of moving past the Bush/McCain Same Old Shit...

[FrenchieCat]

22. Change is at the top of the ticket where it belongs.......

the expertise to get it done is on the ticket as well.

Poor Sarah.....not change at the top...and not expertise at the bottom.
Sounds like the ticket she's on is seriously fucked.

[chappydog26]

23. "The choice a presidential nominee makes for a running mate says a lot about him..."

I think she just attacked McCain!

[Marsala]

27. Perfect opening for Biden

"Governor Palin is right that choice a presidential nominee makes for a running mate says a lot about him. Despite claiming that the security of the nation was a major concern, Senator McCain chose a poorly vetted governor from a tiny, smaller than Delaware state with zero prior experience or interest in true foreign policy as his running mate." Attack on McCain's judgment, etc.

[Barack_America]

25. Isn't she supposed to be in Summer School, learning about South Ossetia and Sunni vs. Shia?

:shrug:

[Ichingcarpenter]

31. I'm sure her summa cum laude background at Harvard will make her a quick study

Opps, wrong person. I meant her teaching Constitutional Law on the weekends..... Opps, wrong person

I want to see here college transcripts from her six colleges in six years for her BA

She is not a quick study after viewing her in old interviews and tapes.

[regnaD kciN]

55. But why...

...and Sunni vs. Shia?

...should Palin have to learn about things that McCain doesn't know about?

:evilgrin:

[Median Democrat]

29. In 2007, McCain Voted With Bush 95% of Time; Biden Voted Only 37% Of The Time

So, who is the agent of change? McCain or Obama?

[Joyce78]

32. Has Palin ever looked into Keating?

[inthebrain]

34. Gearge W Palin's views and ways of doing business are just like shrub

She left a dustcloud behind her bigger than his in Texas.

This time it's getting aired.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

37. LOL at George W. Palin ... she's the Chimpess.

[Duer 157099]

35. "McCain/Palin: The Ticket for Change. Diapers, that is" n/t

[Matariki]

36. They're just going for the INSANE approach, aren't they?

How do you even answer *insane*?

[chill_wind]

45. Heee! :-)

[Matariki]

40. They added a couple new lines to The Speech. Impressive.

[Lugnut]

42. Way to go Sarah!

Keep poking at Joe.

:popcorn:

[chill_wind]

43. Oh god. Gag me with a spoon!!!!

"A team of mavericks"

[Miss Chybil]

44. She's just like a Republican. She'll say anything, whether it's true, or not. nt

[Eric J in MN]

46. Joe Biden would be a welcome change from Dick Cheney. NT

NT

[Waiting For Everyman]

47. Well heck, SHE'S a throwback to the Dark Ages!

[WinkyDink]

50. She is the Vice-Blatherer Candidate. One more "Say A. NY. THING." Republican.

[and-justice-for-all]

57. Our Change and the change Joe is for....

includes us all and turns the wheels of America back toward prosperity.

The change mooselini is talking about, is THEOCRACY & FASCISM.

PS: Joe is Soooooooooooooooo gonna kick her ass.

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

59. hoo boy

"The choice a presidential nominee makes for a running mate says a lot about him," Palin told a flag-waving crowd at an airport hangar in the western state of Colorado.

It sure does. In McCain's case, it says "NUTBAR". (When you read the word nutbar, read it with a wavering falsetto voice).

[chill_wind]

62. "42 percent believed she had the kind of experience it takes to serve effectively as president

if that became necessary, according to the ABC News poll."

Ehhhh.....wow.

[treestar]

63. so I guess this hypocrite will admit that Obama represents

change?

:rofl:
