Jim Geraghty at the Campaign Spot notices a rhetorical parallel:

"Bill Clinton, tonight: "People the world over have always been more impressed by the power of our example than the example of our power."

The Sphinx, from the comic book comedy Mystery Men:
"To learn my teachings, I must first teach you how to learn."
"When you care what is outside, what is inside cares for you."
"He who questions training only trains himself at asking questions."

Here's the thing Biden doesn't get: well, one of 'em....
When you praise a man as your friend and tout his courage and honor, and then proceed to trash him, you sound untrustworthy and backstabbing unless you are a very talented orator..... much more talented than Joe.
He is now inserting himself into the minds of the public as a sleazebag who gossips about his old friends to ingratiate himself with the new kid in town.
Not good politics, not good television.

You don't understand. The dems have to blame everything that's bad on the administration, and make McCain an extension of it. And they try to make everything that's good bad and play the same blame game.

According to their entire campaign strategy, absolutely nothing good has happened in the last 8 years.

88 lawhawk  Wed, Aug 27, 2008 7:54:46pm

re: #55 Charles

Why did the world trust us in 1998 when President Clinton signed into law the Iraq Liberation Act, which made it official US policy to overthrow Saddam Hussein's regime. President Bush acted on that law, and didn't just pay lip service.

Of course, had we listened to Biden and split Iraq along tribal and/or ethnic lines, we would have had a civil war of epic proportions and a conflict that would have forced the US from the region. We didn't listen to Biden then, and we shouldn't now.

Biden was all for splitting up Iraq into 3 chunks. He was the Champion of the Partition Plan and he said it was the only way to quell the violence in Iraq.

Turns out he was wrong on a grand scale. I wonder if any reporters will ask him if he still wants to push that plan in a Obama administration.

And then a follow up... Why not and when did you first realize your idea was so dumb.

re: #337 Biff

Whatever happened to every vote counts? Oh, that's right, it's unless the Dem's candidate is ahead.

So, Obama never really received a majority of delegate votes, since he was well short on the committed delegates, and there was not roll call of the super delegates. Only the Democrats can find a way to dispense with democracy at their own convention.

And there is no real penalty for holding early caucuses. Both Florida and Minnesota vote.

It's a satire, by the guys that did Airplane. It's about a Michael Moore type film maker who is visited by the ghost of famos american heros and politicians. Very anti-liberal.

It's coming out Oct 3 (same weekend as "Beverly Hills Chihuahuas"). Since Oliver Stone's "W" film comes out 22 Oct, I'm guessing the libs think they have the upper-hand.

Joe Biden is right: We need more than a good soldier, we need a leader with the experience and judgment to serve as commander in chief from day one. That leader is John McCain. We need a leader who understands that you don’t vote against funding for troops in harms way. We need a leader who supports victory in Iraq, and doesn’t try to legislate failure. We need a leader who understands that when a democracy is invaded, the response is to stand by their side, not call on them to show restraint. On all these issues during this campaign Americans have seen with their own eyes what Joe Biden has repeatedly made clear – Barack Obama does not have the judgment or experience to be President of the United States.

Here is info about the journalist who hosted the Al-Jarzeera segment that I was on tonight.

"Josh Rushing is a United States Marine Captain who was a press officer for United States Central Command (CENTCOM) during the 2003 Invasion of Iraq. He became famous for his appearance in the documentary Control Room, which documented his conversation with Al Jazeera correspondent Hassan Ibrahim. After the Pentagon ordered him not to comment on the movie,[1] he left the Marine Corps and is now working for Al Jazeera English. In 2007, Palgrave Macmillan published Mission: Al-Jazeera, Rushing's memoir of his journey from a small town in Texas to the Marines to Al Jazeera English."

As for what to expect tomorrow, I think people will wonder why Obama felt the need to change venues. They'll see a big crowd, but wonder why Pepsi Center wasn't large enough. And then they'll take a measure of the man and see whether he's really capable of being president.

I clearly don't think he is. He lacks the experience and his experiences and associations should clearly indicate that he is someone who lacks the character and fitness to be President.

He hangs with terrorists.
He hangs with Democratic thugs.
He hangs with racists/race baiters.
He hangs with scumbags (Rezko) and funnels them our taxdollars.
He listened to the anti-Whitey, anti-US preacher for 20 years before he realsied that he was an anti-US, racist preacher.
He wants to regulate your thermostat (OSHA) whilst keeping his house nice and cool or nice and warm.
He wants to choose your car for you while he drives his SUV.
His energy plan is to inflate your tires.
He wants to increase spending by 3 trillion dollars.
His 1/2 brother lives in a hut with no bathroom and on about 1 dollar per month...but he can't send him 20USD.
He also believes that Iran is a tiny, non threat. If we just talk with them all will be OK......
He also compared our war in Iraq with the Russian invasion of Georgia.
He doesn't look like all of the other guys who were presidents..but he's not playing the race card.
He criticizes Clarence Thomas but knows very little of Con Law himself.
He doesn't know Spanish but thinks that YOU SHOULD.
He has no political record in Illinois.
He's been to all 57 states.
He is a Soros bitch.

Invesco bought rights to the playing field, not the stadium. It's only Invesco Field at Mile High Stadium when the Broncos play there.

They aren't going to call the new Yankee Stadium anything else, in it's fourth (fifth?) incarnation. I could care less about naming rights, I know how everyone refers to the venue, and it doesn't include the word Invesco.

It is because the media wishes for Leiberman to be the pick. He's unpopular with the Left and the Media (but I repeat myself). He was for the war in Iraq when the Left was not. He speaks about morals and right and wrong, things the Left hates. And, picking him as a VP would disturb social conservatives, thus damaging McCain's chances of securing Republican voters.

So, of course the media would push the idea of Lieberman; he's the worst pick possible for a man [McCain] who has for years been on thin ground with conservatives.
