Ouch, that's going to leave a mark.

Thanks for posting that, Charles. That is one remark he cannot walk away from.

Biden was carrying enough botox in his forehead to kill off an entire elementary school.

There you have it, folks. The tale of the tape.

Huge lie. Once of several huge lies.

Say it ain't so, Joe!

Biden sucks moonrocks

Joe's lunch is gonna get eaten tomorrow! Fred just listed several - 5 at least - outright lies from Plugs tonight.

Fred Thompson is citing several Biden lies to Chris Wallace on Fox News. Including the clean coal comment to the enviro-wacko and the Bosnia resolution ("I was in the Senate and John McCain was lobbying me to support Clinton on it").

I guess the botox is going to Biden's brain.

Problem is, this will get no play on the MSM.

Has Stinky got some of Biden's greatest hits in that vault?
Let's play 'em!

Joe, blindly defending the guy he attacked 6 months ago!

It's not like bloviating in the Senate anymore, the cameras and the tapes are running now.

Biden's ass is fact-checked already! ALL HAIL CHARLES & STINKY!

The dems really screwed up- they should have put up Hillary. At least she had some sense.

Chris Wallace just said that, "It may be harder for Tina Fey to mock her on SNL, but Lord knows they'll try."

Good one, Chris.

So here I sit half smashed on a bottle of Twisted Zin, feeling really good about the Republican Party now that we have someone like Sarah Palin at the front of our parade.

This is the Republican party that can win! This is the Republican party that can fight for what is right even if it is not PC to talk that way.

Sarah Palin is what I want the Republican Party to be.

McCain & Palin '08!

Tomorrow is payday. Sending them another check!

Yeah!

Feeling good! Oh Happy Day!

Play it loud and dance with me Lizards!

Oh Happy Day!

Sarah warned him that his lies would be called out afterwards.

Democrats lie, thats what they do.... Catch them in a lie and it doesnt matter they just lie more and the corrupt MSM covers for them....

No.

You are all wrong.

Obama did not say those things. You are just plain wrong.

/The "retort" that the MSM will run with.

This lie is particularly telling and egregious - Obama tried to run the same line of crap at last week's debate with McCain and got hammered for it. Not only wasn't it a good lie, it wasn't an original lie.

but that was years ago when he was young.
note how he has no grey in his hair then

Charles, this doesn't help Michelle's children.

re: #11 LockeOn

Joe, blindly defending the guy he attacked 6 months ago!

Yeah, he hated it when Sarah mentioned that.

Oh, he'll have an explanation for that. Might be unintelligible, but he'll have one.

re: #13 Macker

Biden's ass is fact-checked already! ALL HAIL CHARLES & STINKY!

You mean McCain's web ad team doesn't have this all edited together yet?

Does Joe really think he can just flat-out lie and not be caught?

Oh yeah. Time to go back to my old line.

Ronald Reagan, The Great Communicator

Barack O'bama, The Great Clarifyer

Hillary actually made some sense in this answer. Which, uh, doesn't make you look good in contrast, Oh The One.

re: #26 MandyManners

Of course Biden thinks he can lie. He does it all the time. That's what he's paid for.

This was the one question that Ifill snuck in for 0bama, IMO.

Nice job Sarah!

John, you're up next. Go get 'em!

Fred Thompson just did a laundry list of Biden's "misrepresentations". He included the unconditional comment. Rush and Levin are going to nail Biden's ass tomorrow.

Yes Mandy, he really does.

Listen closer everyone, dang it!

MSNBC will be all over this.

Charles, you obviously don't understand nuance

/

Not sure this was a knockout blow, but Palin won hands down. Joe actually outperformed my expectations, which just means he was less craptacular than usual, and Sarah finally got the chance to shine, even with Gwen "Ifill Your Pain" running interference (Check Hugh Hewitt for the moment I'm talking about: Joe was exposed for a killing roundhouse, and "Ifill Your Pain" interrupted Palin).

Go Sarah!

yes out and out lie and there were at least a couple more probably

Let's have a liar a heartbeat away from the presidency?

"These are not the droids you are looking for....." That works with the smittened and brainwashed worshipers and the fawning and in the tank media. But, when your "Force is weak", it does not work on people with an engaged brain. He's been spinning this since he said it. He said a lot of things that he is now blatantly lying about. Why isn't McCain hammering him on this stuff more?

re: #32 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

Oh yeah. Time to go back to my old line.

Ronald Reagan, The Great Communicator

Barack O'bama, The Great Clarifyer

Oh. Sorry. Clarifier.

And note that Biden's weasel answer won't help him: Oh, Ahmadinejad isn't the "leader", the mullahs are.

Ah. So Obama would meet THEM unconditionally? That's supposed to be an improvement?!

So, Gov. Palin, are all these former Secretaries of State wrong?
--Something Ifill

Headline

Palin Scalps Obama at Debate.
Disappointed with scalp

Palin wins! Go GOP. The game is back on. I love soccer moms,,,

Go Irish! Our soccer team!

Yeah, Charles, THAT right there is why you are THE MAN!
I was watching Biden say that and saying "What the...?"
How do these people get away with it?
It is usually because WE LET THEM DO IT.
But, deep down, the thing that really hurts is that when they lie like that, it insults my intelligence. They think they can get away with it.
I hope we prove them wrong.

Biden thought he was so clever talking about McCain voting against an amendment to give the troops support. McCain voted against the Bill that would have set a time table for return, he voted against the Bill not against an amendment. They stuff all Bills so full of crap, see yesterday's bailout Bill, it is just wrong.

oops. Biden

Hmm...the remark about his neighbor's "getting it" about the economic situation and the pathetic buy-out, er, bail-out?

Joe lives in Greenville, De...the same neighborhood as the DuPonts and other wealthy elite.

Oh, yeah, they get it alright. And Joe's going to make sure that they get it.

re: #44 Ojoe

Let's have a liar a heartbeat away from the presidency?

Actually- if 0bama wins we'd have a liar as President.

Good response time, Charles. You picked up on it as soon as he said it. Let's give that SOB not a moment's rest.

re: #62 Jetpilot1101

Krauthammer is doing a good analysis on FOXNews.

What's his take?
My television has been switched to sports or something....

McCain team: Obama did say he would meet with dictators without preconditions.

Obama team: No he didn't. He did on the tape you keep showing, but he didn't.

MSM: 'Without preconditions' smear debunked.

----

It works for so many things.

I'm in Love,,astounding performance,,hands down,,McCain picked a winner,,

I think some of the really well aimed darts were Sarah making the point repeatedly that Joe had just exhibited what was wrong with living one's life in Washington - referring to his repeated reversals on policies and war opinions since his VP announcement.

Oh, Sarah, do it again, and again, and again. Can't get enough of the TRUTH told with vigor and sincerity and love for our blessed land.

Fres Thompson named 5 or 6 bald faced lies Joe Blow told.

Perfect fodder for a campaign commercial. Biden's statement - then Obama's statement during that debate.

We need to make sure there's a copy of this video up on LiveLeak. Now. Before YouTube has a chance to pull it.

So have the Moonbats this evening called for Biden to announce his illness so that the Hilldebeast can be the VP nominee?

Mandy Manners correct..Parker must retract

Parker is a gasbag. I've heard enough of her drivel for a lifetime

She fell back a bit on the McCain Maverick stuff a bit too much, but not nearly as much as before... Which is why she came across well.

Biden LIED. Oh boy did that mofo lie... lie, lie, lie like a dog, and the sad thing is you can't even tell if he thinks it's true or not because he's a little bit crazy like that. I think he did surprisingly well - some very, very nasty home run shots at McPain's record, well-constructed and very carefully coached ("This girl is talking nonsense, it's a matter of record that McCain voted in favor of kicking puppies and starving old people 5,000 times! Google it, people!"), and please, G-d, McCain needs to shoot this McSame/McBush meme out of the sky... Palin took a shot at it, thankfully, it's about TIME somebody fought back... But more is needed.

Both of them did better than I expected, almost like the roles were switched from the first Presidential debate. The junior person performed 100% better than expected, to match or beat the senior person, who performed 10% better than expected.

What an odd election.

Good to see the real Sarah Charm at work again too. It's been missing for a few weeks (filtered out, perhaps?)

That was a spinnoff of the phrase dag-gummit.

Still waiting for the McCain web ad team to cut and splice all of Bidens lies together.

I pledge to say "doggonit" at least three time tomorrow.

I simply like Sarah Palin. Honest, refreshing, exuberant, accomplished, and totally solid, a well-grounded person.

Joe Biden is entertaining, a professional and accomplished liar. I sort of respect him for having success in that kind of political career, but for the very same reason, I don't like him.

Sarah? She can come over to the house anytime and raid the fridge.

Biden would need to be part of a big guest list.

LGF running okay for awhile, then slows dawn.

Did anyone count how many time Biden said "John McCain"? He must have said mentioned McCain's name a thousand times. Ten times more than he said Obama! Most of his whole debate was about John McCain's old votes. I didn't find that very compelling a reason to vote for Obama!

I think Palin did a great job! She comes across so well when she's not edited by the media. Just let Sarah be Sarah! I'm so excited...I'm going to see her on Saturday at a rally here in Los Angeles. A bunch of my friends and I are going. Can't wait to see her up close.

Just looked over a couple of blogs.

Lib blogs - angry with Gwen Ifill for being fair and balanced; making snippy remarks about Palin; moaning about Biden. :D
Conservative blogs - I see "thank you Jesus" and Amen; a lot of WOW; and huge lot of AWESOME.

First paragraph of post by Jacob Heilbrunn at Huffington Post on Debate Recap:

Bless her heart, Sarah "drill, baby, drill" Palin strove mightily to hit a gusher tonight against Joe Biden, but came up empty. No, her performance was not the disaster that some in the GOP have been fearing. She'll probably get extra credit, to use a term she employed, for just showing up. But cliché was piled upon cliché as Palin sought to paint Barack Obama as a goofy radical who would end up running America off the rails.

Good point, Rudy. Sarah kept her cool.

I think Sarah's performance tonight will reverse the polls. I think her interviews have been making people think she can't handle the job, but tonight she reversed that trend. I think she not only stopped the bleeding tonight, she healed that wound.

"One of the very best debate performances I've ever seen by anyone. Only the liberal media could deny her this victory."

Biden told a whole string of whoppers; he virtually inverted McCain's voting record at one point.

Plenty of fodder for TV spots, then. And it's all on video, that's the beauty of it! :D :D :D :D

I expect to see a McCain/Palin bounce in the polls.

I think Sarah Palin certainly did well tonight. A victory, I'd say. The trouble is she started in a hole, and tonight climbed her way back to level ground.

The key thing, I think, is that she defeated the image of herself as a liability for John McCain. That will allow McCain to focus on the great damage done to his campaign by the economic downturn. I'd sure like to see him piece together a better presentation of who exactly -- and whose policies -- led to the very same downturn.

(PS: If I hear "game changer" from one more talking head, I plan to start swinging. It's a big language, guys. Roam around a bit.)

re: #52 rawmuse

It is usually because WE LET THEM DO IT.
But, deep down, the thing that really hurts is that when they lie like that, it insults my intelligence. They think they can get away with it.
I hope we prove them wrong.

I hope so too. But just like Nazi propaganda ... re: Dresden for example ... [Link: formerspook.blogspot.com...]

"The emergence of more accurate casualty totals doesn't diminish the horror of Dresden, but it does place it in a correct historical context. It also reminds us that truth is often the first casualty of history, as it is in war."

The Liberals know they can lie and lie. Many of the voters hear it often enough - they accept it. It's a form of advertising.

Alan Colmes isn't fit to clean Sarah Palin's toilet.

What a puke.

Dont confuse 'em with the facts. The Left operates on emotion, facts are irrelevant. No argument of logic, no evidence in fact, no careful examination of history will sway them.

They feel, therefore they know they are right. You dont agree with them? Then you must be evil.

re: #26 MandyManners

Does Joe really think he can just flat-out lie and not be caught?

I think so, actually.

Most of the material in his debate this evening was false.

And given the fact that he's been largely ignored in the press while Palin has been crucified, and that Obama has been largely given a pass too, sure, of course he thinks he'll get away with it.

re: #137 ornery elephant

But cliché was piled upon cliché as Palin sought to paint Barack Obama as a goofy radical who would end up running America off the rails.

Uh, yeah, and that would be... you know... the Truth. Do we know what truth is? No, silly, not "whatever you decide it is in order to win", it's an absolute. You know, like facts, reported and unreported.

And the facts say that your man is, in fact, a goofy radical who would run America off the rails. Calling income redistribution "fairness" doesn't change its effects, and saying that there are going to be "fundamental changes" in the economy just makes people wonder what those fundamentals might be...

Pesky facts... We hates them, Precious!

In other words, they grabbed some results that are meaningless and made it a headline.

How many Biden lies will be reported...?

re: #171 Cognito

I think Sarah Palin certainly did well tonight. A victory, I'd say. The trouble is she started in a hole, and tonight climbed her way back to level ground.

The key thing, I think, is that she defeated the image of herself as a liability for John McCain. That will allow McCain to focus on the great damage done to his campaign by the economic downturn. I'd sure like to see him piece together a better presentation of who exactly -- and whose policies -- led to the very same downturn.

(PS: If I hear "game changer" from one more talking head, I plan to start swinging. It's a big language, guys. Roam around a bit.)

The English language is a marvel is it not?

So big. So expressive.

As a severe dyslexic, I can tell you that it has caused me a world of grief, but I would wish for no other as a first language.

Personally, I thought Palin looked nervous, and she let Biden get away with WAY too much crap, including numerous lies. But she did well enough.

That maverick was a game-changer!

re: #137 ornery elephant

First paragraph of post by Jacob Heilbrunn at Huffington Post on Debate Recap:

Palin sought to paint Barack Obama as a goofydamn dangerous radical who would end up running America off the rails.(although he might make the trains run on time...)

There. Fixed that for them.

re: #177 nyc redneck

she was so relaxed and comfortable and so different than career politicians like biden. what a breath of fresh air she is.
even the msm will be hard pressed to twist this. they will look so bad when they do.

Did you pick up on her hands and voice shaking? Did you see how she was flipping her pen around compulsively? It's as close to openly scared as I've ever seen her on television, and yet she got in there and fought it out blow for blow. She really had a clamp down on her nerves, and I don't blame her for being nervous, since the election may have been riding on her performance, and she had to go up against a Beltway veteran AND the entirety of the media, on the national stage, with only one shot to make her first debate impression.

I got a very clear message of relief and barely suppressed anger when she finally got clear and mingled with her family. She could have killed Biden with the look in her eyes alone.

Maybe that only came across in the HD feed.

re: #190 devil in baggy pants

No- it was a game changer. The msm interviews did not help the ticket. Tonight did. After tonight, people will know Sarah can handle herself and the job. She spoke to the people and came off as one of us while hitting on two topics I think the American people want to hear- energy and fiscal restraint.

She didn't look nervous to me, but she did let him get away with some stuff.

HOWEVER, she got him a good one several times, and it took the shit-eating grin of Joe's face real quick.

I don't know this, but I suspect McCain is waiting until some sort of bill passes the House before "naming names" as he has promised. Will he? I can only hope so. Time to call the bastards out. If he want to win he must. Time to get confrontational and not roll with the tide once the bill passes - and I do think it must, no matter how distasteful.

Sarah Palin, the Republican October surprise. No wonder the Obama campaign is worried about her and had their Leni Riefenstahls Media Group do the best at character assasination. We know how they'll spin it.

re: #217 cliffster

Joe Biden has a crush on Sarah Palin. You could see it.

I was just about to say that! You could tell he liked her. (I mean he has a friendly sort of crush, not cheat-on-your-wife type of thing)

Today I kept praying for her to be protected from the snares of the evil one. The devil roams the earth seeking who he would devour. Often he is disguised as a Democrat.

Thank you God.

I think Sara Palin did a great job tonight......but I actually believed she would.
I was proud of her and think John McCain really knew what he was doing when he picked her.

Good evening.

I thought Palin wiped the floor with Biden. And zero Biden lies will be reported by the MSM. I did a quick flip through the MSM and they were all declaring victories for Biden.

By the way, don't be surprised at another bad day in the market tomorrow. Overseas the Nikkei and the FTSE exchanges are dropping by the moment.

I look for a down market for another 2 to 3 months at least.

The Bosniacs thank you, Joe.

Unbelieveable win for Sarah Palin

re: #88 rawmuse

The other thing that pissed me off about the debate was their gratuitous use of Dick Cheney, sprinkled generously through the event. It will not work on me, I love Mr. Cheney. But, dammit, he is not running in '08.

I agree. And I love Bush too. Heck, as wrong as Bush was on immigration and the bail out, I'd vote for him over either of these two (McCain or Obie). So, slamming the Bush administration doesn't get them votes they didn't already have, imo.

"She is a superstar" That was Dick Morris

GO SARAH!

re: #131 zombie

It's an old way for prim and proper frontier pioneers to say "God damn it" without being blasphemous. They reversed "God" to "Dog" and elided the rest.

Goddammit -> Doggonit.

Dates to the 19th century at least.

Alright - linguistic trivia challenge to the master of the topic: Where did "Slap ma fro!" come from?

Biden: "BOSNIACS" WTF!

Biden: "We've spent less in Afghanistan in seven years than we spend in a month in Iraq."
Congressional Research Service: spending on the war in Afghanistan since 2001 has been $172 Billion. Spending in Iraq is under $10 Billion a month. Biden is off by 2000%!

GET EVERY ONE OF THESE MORONS OUT OF WASHINGTON AND AWAY FROM MY PAYCHECK! NO WONDER WE HAVE A FINANCIAL CRISIS! WHAT AN IDIOT.

Dick Morris:

"Unbelievable win"

"not seen since Ronald Reagan"

"a superstar"

:D YES

Biden "looked like he was on downers"

what's his name just called sarah a superstar.

re: #237 Dar ul Harb

I swear, I am still laughing. As soon as you typed that, I knew what was coming. Oh man, that is funny.

Biden did say "Bosniaks" didn't he?
And I think Ms. Palin referred to him as "O'Biden" at least once.

re: #160 twincitiesgirl

many people were praying for her

My son starting praying for John McCain to become the next president BEFORE he was even made the presidential nominee for the Repubs. He did when saying grace one night at dinner. Totally caught me offguard. I was going for Romney, my husband, for McCain. My son has unnerving forethought, me thinks.

I think I missed the joke, former.

Speaking of game-changers (sorry Cog), what in the hell is wrong with the Cubs?

Back in late August, the day after the dem's convention when conservative support for John McCain was not where it needed to be, Sarah Palin came on the scene and electrified conservatives to an extent not seen since Reagan.

And after a couple of bad weeks on the economic front, conservative support for McCain started wavering. Tonight she flipped the switch again.

We have to keep in mind what is at stake here: lackluster support (or even NO support) for John McCain from conservatives will give us an Obama presidency.

I think she also may have won over quite a few independents tonight, as well as some fence-sitters.

Dick Morris to Skeletor:
"Is it that you can't think? Or that you can only read those talking points."

WHOA!

Dick Morris just bitch-slapped Skeletor out of the park!

i'm so happy, i'm giddy.

We just watched the debate live here in Mauririus. My mom and step-dad (both lifelong republicans) are voting for Obama. Niehter has ever cast a vote for a Democrat before in thier lives.
