Why are liberals so insulting? Right wing nuts? Give me a break. Had democrats come out to vote, Bush would have never won a 2nd term. It’s your fault.

Now, Dems are coming out to vote in record numbers. Gee… they finally figured out how to put one of their own in office. Get in the car, don’t be lazy, and vote.

Oh, and Obamas plan does not balance the budget to that one guys post, and Obama has admitted the deficit will grow under his plan.

Get educated. Read Obama’s plan. It’s on his website. Stop talking foolishly and un-educated.

Slightly OT — in this week’s Newsweek Fareed Zakaria takes the GOP ticket (and specifically Gov. Palin’s presence on it) out behind the woodshed. Didn’t he used to be on their side?

Palin’s confusion about Afghanistan’s geography is that there was quite recently a lenghty series about Afghanistan’s role with its neighbors in Le Monde. She presumably read all of that, right?

Oh, sure, you betcha. In French, too! And, also, too, they got some great recipes in there.

“Maybe you could tell me.”

I took that as an expansive “you” since it was on a public blog.

I didn’t ask you to do anything, Nimrod.

Why should I do your legwork for you, Dennis? Just because you’re expending so much energy on deliberate ignorance, that’s not my problem.

They are our neighboring country. From Governor Palin’s house, she can not only see Afghanistan (isn’t that part of, like, Russia and stuff), but she has knit an afghan.

On those grounds, she qualifies to be veep (you betcha).

Dennis, is experience your only qualification for President? For example, if McCain were running against, say, Jimmy Carter, would you choose the one of the two who’s actually served as President?

michael, Joe Biden was called a ‘farkin’ idiot’ here not that long ago. Now all of a sudden he is a hero. I have a hard time following the liberal line so I’m not sure how to answer your question. Joe Biden’s experience and substance is what you folks value when up against the less experience candidate who more than held her own against him in the debate. When the far less experienced Obama goes up against the experienced and substantive John McCain, it is Obama’s judgment you value. When Obama’s judgment is questioned by the company he chose to keep, it is a distraction.

Jimmy Carter failed at his job, so no, I would not vote for him. I don’t know what Obama has done prior to winning the nomination that he has been successful at. Maybe you could tell me.

She’s qualified to be VP.

Keep saying that to yourself. It must be comforting. She couldn’t find her ass with a funnel.

She’s not running for VP. She’s running for 45.

Go ahead and tell yourself that Sarah Palin is qualified.

She’s qualified to be VP. You keep telling yourself Obama is qualified to be President because of nothing else but his good judgment.

The one thing he can claim to have had executive experience from, the Woods Foundation, he chooses not to talk about. And his supporters don’t want to hear about it, either.

What can I say? Opinions change. Facts change. Stupidity is forever. Go ahead and tell yourself that Sarah Palin is qualified.

Well for goodness sakes: with 57 states, you’d think at least ONE of them would border Afghanistan!

Sorry you’re unable to tell the difference between an occasional misstatement, and someone throughly unqualified for the job they’re applying for.
–michael

No apologies necessary, michael. I’m well aware of who just who it is that is not qualified for the job he’s applying for. It is the one thing Joe Biden said about Barack Obama that was not a gaffe, but the truth.

Actually he said it twice, and with no uncertainties.

“Biden’s gaffes get zero coverage here. ”

Biden’s gaffes get zero coverage here. At least not since he had the gall to run against one Barack Obama for President, when he was called ‘A farkin’ idiot’.

‘Barack Obama is not to be effed with’.
