Palin did one thing in the debate that I almost stood up and cheered for: She finally addressed the constant BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome) that Biden and so many other democrats have been playing.
Biden made repeated comparisons between McCain and Bush during the debate, and democrats all over have ridden that dead horse all over town, that McCain is another 4 years of Bush.
In 2004 the campaign was “anyone but Bush” and it lead to a defeat. I do not know if the same will happen this time, but the constant complaint is tiring.
They won’t address the issues, and address their opponent, just lame comparisons to the present administration.
Sarah, in the debate, would ave none of it (via Hot Air).
PALIN: Say it ain’t so, Joe, there you go again pointing backwards again. You preferenced your whole comment with the Bush administration. Now doggone it, let’s look ahead and tell Americans what we have to plan to do for them in the future. …
First up is Joe Biden who finally says what everyone is thinking: Vote for Obama because he is back:1
Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden, campaigning in North Carolina where black votes could help swing the state to the Democrats, said today that electing a black person to the White House would be transformative.
Biden said the policies of running mate Barack Obama make his presidency even more urgent and declared this to be the most important election that any living person has seen in their lifetime. But he particularly singled out the meaning of electing someone who is black.
“That will be a transformative event in American politics and internationally,” Biden said. “That all by itself will be significant.”
So, why is this necessary?
North Carolina last voted for a Democrat in 1976, when Jimmy Carter won much of the South. But the state has a large population of blacks galvanized by Obama’s candidacy, and the Illinois senator has competed aggressively here for months.
Oh, yea, that. If they won’t vote for you for your failed policies, go for something more elemental.
Hmm. Naw, that may be how the Kos-freaks might treat this, if the same had happened to the conservative candidates of course, but I guess that I, having morals, have to draw the line somewhere.
The real headline should read “Biden and Obama make idiotic mistakes about Disabled people”.
First, Biden pulls this gaffe, asking a guy in a wheel chair to rise and walk (ok, stand up):
Ok, we can be adults and everything, and admit this was nothing more that a bone headed idiotic error. He forgot, he had a momentary lapse of memory about who he was talking to. But the chances to rip on him for it are wonderful.
I mean this means that not only are they comparing Obama to Jesus1 they are now trying to heal people, along the lines of John Edwards in 2004, who told people John Kerry would make people walk again.
I preface this by saying this is not a call to end abortion, nor is it an indictment of abortion as a legal issue. This, and my previous posts as well, are intended to look critically at the pro choice Catholic Politicians and examine how their faith impacts their politics from a theological perspective.
The smack down regarding abortion continues for Joe Biden as two more Catholic Bishops take him to task for his latest comments.1
Two prominent U.S. Catholic bishops said Tuesday that Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden contradicted church teaching by saying in a weekend interview that determining when human life begins is a “personal and private” matter of religious faith he would not impose on others.
The statement from Cardinal Justin Rigali and Bishop William Lori said Biden, who appeared Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” is the latest case of the U.S. Catholic hierarchy correcting a Catholic politician.
Asked on the program about when life begins, Biden said: “Look, I know when it begins for me. It’s a personal and private issue. For me, as a Roman Catholic, I am prepared to accept the teachings in my church.”
