Joe Biden: Proof That Airheads Shouldn’t Be VP Nominee
Joe Biden, aka Slow Joe 2.0, is living proof of why airheads shouldn’t be tapped as the VP nominee. This speech offers abundant proof that Sen. Obama should’ve ignored experience and went with someone talented. Listen to this long list of whining complaints:
We’ve seen eight straight months of job losses. Nearly 46 million Americans without health insurance. Average incomes down, while the price of everything, from gas to groceries, has skyrocketed. A military stretched thin from two wars and multiple deployments.
A nation more polarized than I’ve ever seen in my career. And a culture in Washington where the very few wealthy and powerful have a seat at the table and everybody else is on the menu.
Eight years later, we have another Republican nominee who’s telling us the exact same thing:
This time it will be different, it really will. This time he’s going to put country before party, to change the tone, reach across the aisle, change the Republican Party, change the way Washington works.
We’ve seen this movie before, folks. But as everyone knows, the sequel is always worse than the original.
If we forget this history, we’re going to be doomed to repeat it — with four more just like the last eight, or worse. If you’re ready for four more years of George Bush, John McCain is your man.
Just as George Herbert Walker Bush was nicknamed “Bush 41″ and his son is known as “Bush 43,” John McCain could easily become known as “Bush 44.”
The campaign a person runs says everything about the way they’ll govern. The McCain-Palin campaign has decided to bet the house on the politics perfected by Karl Rove. Those tactics may be good at squeaking by in an election, but they are bad if you want to lead one nation, indivisible.
It’s insulting to hear Slow Joe say that “we’ve seen this movie before.” Clearly, John McCain has worked with Democrats so often that it threatened his chance at the nomination. Saying that we’ve seen a man of John McCain’s vigor, honor, distinct history and maverick attitude before is the ultimate insult.
Obama-Biden haven’t figured out the path forward. Obama’s team of advisers thought that they’d only have to say hopeandchange during the primaries, then say McSame during the general election campaign to win. McCain’s picking Gov. Palin totally trashed that meme. The “Bush’s third term” storyline went totally out the window. (Frankly, I never thought it’d be that productive. President Bush isn’t popular but he isn’t hated except on the BDS-afflicted Left.)
John McCain just doesn’t seem to understand what middle class people are going through today. I don’t doubt that he cares. He just doesn’t think that we have any responsibility to help people who are hurting.
Here’s another insult directed at John McCain. In fact, after reading the speech, it’s just one insult after another. My hope is that they give this idiot a bigger microphone. His angry tone is probably turning people off at every stop. Clearly his audience loves it.
That said, I’m betting that people reading the newspaper account are having a different reaction.

McCain is a POW. Enough said. He never has to explain anything.

What’s particularly amazing about ObamaCult has been their ability to keep the spotlight away from their own candidate (a deception tactic greatly assisted by the American media as well). McCain might not be the greatest, but he hasn’t associated with the likes of Rev. Wright, or Bill Ayers, or communists (a fact that Obama himself admitted in his biography). While Obama insists he’s not a muslim, he does have close muslim friends (like Congressman Keith Ellison, who took his oath of office on a Koran).
For that matter, the DNOcrat herd has made a big deal about McCain and Palin’s conservative religious aspects, yet the DNCocrats have barely noticed that Obama biblethumps and holy rolls as much as Commander McCain has, at least when he’s in the American heartland. When hanging with his wealthy pals in LA or NY or Ivy League, he switches back to his wannabe-Bobby Kennedy act.

One big difference between Bobby Kennedy and BHO is that Kennedy actually believed some of the things he was saying to his worshippers.
