“Dump Biden” Death Watch Commences
September 4th, 2008 by joe
How utterly, tragically badly this week has gone for the Democrat ticket.
Case in point: Sarah Palin’s speech attracted as many TV viewers as Barack Obama’s despite the fact Palin’s speech was not shown on four channels that carried Obama’s: BET, TV One, Univision and Telemundo.
Nearly 2 million more women were watching Palin than men, Nielsen said.
Viewers were far more interested in Palin than Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden. Biden’s speech to Democrats last week was seen by an estimated 24 million people.
Old Joe Biden.
Can you imagine him in a debate against Sarah Palin? Mr. Pomposity-Talk-Too-Long against Ms. Everywoman. What sort of energy will Palin’s public appearances generate over the next 60 days vs Biden’s?
Which presidential candidate will be getting the most bang for the buck from his chosen running mate?
Now, to paraphrase what Rush Limbaugh just asked, how much longer before we see trial balloons about Joe needing to step down from the Democrat ticket for personal reasons?

I see an illness in Bidens future……
hello Hillary, its barrack Obama. Old Joe Biden has just come down with a rare but deadly disease call Crummypickitis. What are you doing from now until let’s say the first week in November ?
Whats tongue in cheek one day may be reality the next.

Yeah G, if picking Biden is the extent of Obama’s decision making prowess..

From Virginia Virtucon :
Presidential candidate John McCain’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention drew more television viewers than his rival Barack Obama attracted at the Democratic party’s event last week, according to preliminary ratings from Nielsen Media Research.

Biden was scheduled to march in the Labor Day parade in Pittsburgh, the LARGEST Labor Day celebration in America. Biden backed out at the last minute. VERY UNUSUAL. He said it was because of the hurricane in the Gulf, but the same day he campaigned in Scranton. I really believe Obama’s people pulled his appearance in Pittsburgh, so when they dump old Joe, it won’t anger the labor men and women who marched with him on Labor Day.

As Guliani says: “I’d get that VP thing in writing”
September 5th, 2008 at 8:23 pm
Political Prediction: Hillary will replace Biden and become Obama’s VP in October.
Gives a whole new meaning to the word “CHANGE” !
September 5th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
Could be, but me, I think Obama has promised her Sec of Health and Human Services for her support.
Hillary Care didn’t go away..

O’Bama may be a Marxist, Mikey, but he’s not that stupid.
September 6th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
thinking of biden, after watching that repub convention, it was amazing that all they did was mention “change.” i swear, plagiarism like that puts those biden claims to shame.
September 6th, 2008 at 11:14 pm
Hmm, McCain was campaigning for change in Washington way back in 1999.. It’s obvious Obama was sitting home taking notes..
September 6th, 2008 at 11:56 pm
change from what? the 1990’s were a pretty good time, no wonder that didn’t work. thinking back to then, repubs chose bush over mccain because they thought bush would be a better president. either repubs are horrible judges of presidential candidates or mccain will be a trully awful leader. or maybe it’s a mix of both.

Yes, I guess you guys are proud of the .com bubble, sleeze in the White House, the y2k cluster f***, the market crash of the late 90s, Bosnia, terrorist attacks against the US while the White House twiddled their thumbs…
HA ! your guys, Gore and Kerry lost, remember ? Don’t think you really have much wiggle room when it come to talking about candidates..
September 7th, 2008 at 12:47 am
To be fair, I think the Y2k clusterf**k didn’t have anything to do with the Dems or Repubs. I would argue more on the side of the terrorist attacks. The market crash is a little muddier.
(thumbs up)
September 7th, 2008 at 1:06 am
the y2k cf? are you referring to that stolen election that put bush in office; that wasn’t clinton’s fault. Bosnia…was a success. Terrorist attacks while the US twiddled there thumbs? more like repubs whined that clinton was trying to distract the public from his affair when he was trying to kill terrorists. had they not played politics the us may have killed bin laden. in fact, clinton was even applauded at the last rnc convention, guess repubs are coming around.
ummm, dems voted for gore and kerry, not bush. dems recognized bush was going to be a bad president. so your last comment doesn’t make sense. repubs picked him over mccain. why? is it they thought he would make a better president or they just botched it?

Bush could not have won w/o Dem crossover support. Bush won states that have traditionally voted for Dems, in 2000 and 2004..
Were you two still in school when all this was going on ? Maybe in the Peace Corps in BFE or some other far away place ?
September 7th, 2008 at 11:36 am
“To be fair, I think the Y2k clusterf**k didn’t have anything to do with the Dems or Repubs.”
Yes, you’re right as always Kev, Cinton/Gore directed the country to spend $100 billion on this, and this had nothing to do with Dems.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:57 am
What’s the argument, I guess, is what I’m confused about? Tell me where your beef is or tease out a little clearer what your argument is?
September 7th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
“are you referring to that stolen election that put bush in office”
This one is ALWAYS good for a laugh!!!
Because it never fails to pinpoint 100,000,000 candlepower onto the ignorance of the commentor.
In the simplest terms available, the Supreme Court was in error in allowing the counting, because they did not rule on an existing law….they thought it would be spectacular if they MADE A NEW law!!! Unfortunately, the Court cannot make laws…that duty falls to the Legislature of Florida. When the SCOTUS overruled the FSC, they did exactly what they were legally bound to do. If you do not fully understand the specific duties of each branch of the Government at State and Federal levels, educate yourself, and you’ll stop looking so retarded when you blurt crap out in a public setting.
September 9th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
Good show boys!
But back to Hillary. If Barak is TRULY an agent of change, then why not exchange
out Biden for Hillary!
Like him or hate him- Bush didnt change his mind on alot of things.
But at least Hillary has been consistent- I am starting to wonder if Obama’s mantra of change really means just changing his mind alot! Like over Russia last week. hmmmm.
It would be totally consistent for Obama to switch to Hillary for VP.
September 9th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
Bull. Monk, it was joke on the Y2k thing and meant to get a reaction…and it did! And although you say the simpliest terms imaginable, your description of Bush v. Gore might be considered one of the worst.
September 9th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
People who can’t change their minds are in rigor mortis.
September 9th, 2008 at 8:07 pm
the biden pick really disappointed me. i think he should have gone for bayh, pleaded with warner, or maybe even cantwell. at least he didn’t pick edwards though.
September 10th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
Interesting: Obama voted more with HIS party than MCCain voted with HIS party.
That means relative to their individual parties,MCain was much less tied to his own party than was Obama- or put positively, MCCain was more a maverick than Obama.
Key that everyone will see soon: CHANGE is relative to a baseline expectation. The image od change is different. MCCain blows Barak away in true numbers.
September 10th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
el jefe!
Were you drinking the libtard kool-aid on the 7th or something? What is all this blather about stolen elections? SCOTUS did what it was supposed to do. That the result was not what you wanted does not mean the result was from foul play. You know better.
September 10th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
Nevermind that every single independent recount of the Florida ballots said that Bush won.
September 10th, 2008 at 3:28 pm
Jack,
ssshhhhh. Don’t say that, the libs go plum loco when you mention that little factoid. They usually stampede, right over the deep end.
September 10th, 2008 at 6:22 pm
[…] was out ahead of everyone on this one. In a previous article by our intrepid joe Biden’s days were considered numbered. I think […]
September 10th, 2008 at 7:51 pm
Sorry. It really is unfair of me to use facts when dealing with liberals, since they don’t have any.
September 10th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
wow! 2000 election comments do come with quite a reaction, talk about going over the deep end. it was joke on the y2k clusterf*** just to stir the pot a little. (what is the y2k clusterf*** anyway?) bush won by at least 500 votes counting votes the way gore wanted. even if you don’t agree with the court’s decision, bush would have won.
jacob, if the “lib— kool-aid” is another term for sierra nevada, then yes. otherwise, i’m not a mindless follower of dems, unlike you guys that seem to feel the repub platform is divinely insipired. jack, i doubt “every single recount” showed bush won, but by the rules requested bush won, and that’s the one that matters. we could probably find one that gore won.
an interesting point though, the results in some counties using statistical analyses came out so different and bizarre from other voting patterns as to make them unbelievable (as in, it was due to messed up ballots) and that most of the state intended to vote for gore. before you flip out and go crazy repeating limbaugh lines and that if people can’t figure out a ballot…, i’m not saying these should have been counted or changed the election. bush got lucky and the rest of the country got screwed. maybe cf is the right term.
September 10th, 2008 at 9:03 pm
Your doubt is irrelevant. The claim is, of course, impossible for me to prove. However, a single counter-example can disprove it. I have yet to find such a counter-example, but I am sure it would have been on every old-world-media outlet for the last seven years if there were one.
September 10th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
“statistical analyses” don’t determine election winners, the voters do.. And they did, in FL and OH..
September 11th, 2008 at 12:06 am
Chief, I agree, Cantwell or a host of others would have been improvements over Biden. Biden ain’t that interesting - let’s be honest here, folks.
Hillary would have been superior, of course, but I won’t even mention that publicly because it would make Obama EMINENTLY MORE ELECTABLE, which clearly would not suit my agenda.
September 11th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
jack, here’s a summary from cnn. under certain circumstances, gore would have won, but not if the recount continued as he wanted. and if people not been confused by ballots, gore would have won, i have little doubt of that. but by the rules, bush won and that’s probably why there’s been more focus on improving ballots than on trying to get gore into office. what makes this country great.
http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/florida.ballots/stories/main.html
dans, it was luck that won in 2000, gay bashing that won in 2004.
September 11th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
According to the article, if the people voting had not been morons and voted twice in the same race, Gore probably would have won. Sounds to me like the Democrats in those counties devised a rather ingenious intelligence test to qualify voters — if you’re too stupid to figure out HOW to vote, you’re too stupid to be voting at all.
September 11th, 2008 at 11:42 pm
el,
Anyway you try to spin it…
Article 2
…The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President…
In 2000 it was the mannequin (the lock box guy) Bush was running against. In 2004 it was the Swifties.
I voted in FL many times as I lived there for many years. The ballots were very simple and straightforward, probably so much so that a 3rd or 4th grader could figure it out. If you are saying even this is above the level of Democrat supporters, nolo contendre.
I also firmly believe that if a way existed to throw out the FL votes of those dual residency voters who also voted absentee in another state (NY comes to mind), Bush would have won by a much wider margin.
September 12th, 2008 at 7:25 am
We had punchcards in Virginia Beach, too. The instructions were to inspect your card to be sure the chads were completely punched out. Do we really even WANT such morons voting for President? Has anyone else noticed that these inept morons always seem to be DEMOCRATS?
September 12th, 2008 at 9:02 am
Jack, consider another scenario. I am a Democrat poll worker, and when a likely supporter of my candidate shows up, wearing a badge, or a person of color, rather than give you one punch card, I give you a stack of 5. The recipient realizing this, will either “sir, you made a mistake” and give the extras back, or keep quite and go about his/her business.
This is one way to explain the high incidence of hanging and dimpled chads at a handful of precincts.
September 12th, 2008 at 5:33 pm
jack, that is always at the heart of it for a lot of repubs, they would prefer to keep people from voting, true elitists. the less obstacles in the way for people to vote the more likely they are to lose. and jack, you don’t have to look far to see, they are not all dems. oh, and with iq, misunderstood directions invalidates an iq measure, it doesn’t indicate that it’s low.
dans, i forgot, yes, it was questioning a vietnam veteran’s record that helped get bush elected, i gave the repubs too much credit by saying only gay bashing.
September 12th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
And yet, strangely, it seems to be the leftists that put these obstacles in the way of their own constituents? The directions, if they were even read, may have been misunderstood, but WHO WROTE THE DIRECTIONS? Democrats.
And wasn’t it the Gore team that tried to prevent the military votes from counting?

September 12th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
jack, “yeah, well dems did the same thing” is a funny response. as if by the fact i made a critical statement about republicans suddenly it’s time to attack the dems and that makes it ok, or assume that i am a dem. i’m talking in general, repubs don’t want votes counted. it was inherent in what you said, that people were not smart enough to vote so there vote should not be counted. true elitist sentiment, by your standard you belong in the msm. funny also this argument in continuing, other than as a joke on y2k i never said bush should not have won florida by the rules.
September 12th, 2008 at 7:03 pm
Actually, el jefe, the Republicans have NOT done it, so it would be incorrect to say that “dems did the same thing.” I said that it was the DEMOCRATS, not the Republicans, who have done it.
It is not that we do not want votes counted, it is that we want the people that are voting to not be idiots.
September 12th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
um, the repubs didn’t even want the recount not to mention they wanted to include additonal votes. that’s just a 2000 example of this.
and i doubt that that last statement, somehow idiots that believe obama is a muslim you would be ok with. also, i’m saying to you don’t want votes counted, you would prefer keeping them from being able to vote.
September 12th, 2008 at 7:35 pm
el,
Yes it was vietnam veterans who served beside him, questioning another vietnam veteran’s record..
they have earned that right, don’t you think ?
September 12th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
el jefe,
Your statements are bogus. The repubs at the time wanted ALL votes counted but many military and absentee ballots were excluded.
Fair is counting all votes. Unfair is counting the votes of the dead, criminals, the insane (shoot-that would be most of the liberals) and the multiple state ballots. Make voting fair and it is what it is. Try to cheat and all bets are off. Why do you think they now ready themselves for court decisions BEFORE the election. This year won’t be any different if Osama-bama stays true to form with his political/election tactics. How do you think he ever got elevated above community organizer-his record?
September 12th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
First, the Republicans wanted the laws followed. Gore did not. As you will recall, Gore GOT a recount. That did not give him the victory, so he wanted to selectively choose other counties to recount. In a ruling that was clearly contrary to state law, the Florida S.C. agreed. The USSC merely forced the law to be obeyed.
I’ll make you a deal, el jefe, I’ll agree that the people who think O’Bama is a muslim should not vote if you agree that the people who think he is qualified should not vote.
September 12th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
el,
” Repubs didn’t even want the recount”
Let’s see, if the Redskins win Sunday, they should request the game be played over ?
“they wanted to include additonal votes”
You think it is ok to exclude the absentee votes of military men and women serving us abroad ?
September 12th, 2008 at 7:59 pm
jack, gore got the first, not the hand recount. and they stopped it becuase it couldn’t be done in time. but anway, you conceded gore won if the voter intentions were counted, all i was saying. qualified? let’s extend that, exclude the people who say obama isn’t but say palin is, that is true idiocy.
dans, if the ’skins win any sunday this year then there should be a recount, something is obviously wrong.
September 12th, 2008 at 8:09 pm
wow, i didn’t even see act commented. jack, this just you writing three different responses isn’t it? and geez, one comment set this off, i didn’t know the 2000 election was such a sacred event in repub folklore.
September 12th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
“you conceded gore won if the voter intentions were counted”
Uh, no. It is, after all, impossible to know voter intentions.
“wow, i didn’t even see act commented.”
What IS it with you leftists and reading comprehension?
September 12th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
whatever Schnitzengruben, no problems reading, just getting bored.
September 12th, 2008 at 10:45 pm
I understand — leftists ARE known for having short attention spans.
September 13th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
but more of a sense of humor. hope you enjoyed your sausage party schnitz.
September 13th, 2008 at 10:26 pm
Indeed, el jefe? Then why are the leftists always so angry?
