Boy, all I have to say is the Dummicrats can come up with some real nutcases.

That lady and lawyer are head cases like Manson, I wonder if the clock stopped during the press conference like at the trial?

I had some respect for Bugliosi for his prosecution of Manson and his crew, but reading this has erased that off the map.

The interesting part of this puzzle is the ignorance both classes show towards republicans.
Blacks hate Lincoln, but he helped free them. Democrats started Liberia for the colony in Africa for ex-slaves. Copperheads and Democrats would have put them in a separate state of their own, both not wanting to have them co-exist with them.
Jews do not like republicans yet the support of Israel came originally from the republicans. The Democrats have never shown great love or support for that nation.
I don't have the apathy for some, for example the Dallas Mavericks Josh Howard who would not sing the National Anthem, and was quoted saying I don't sing that $h_t, I'm black. Here's 5 bucks, Liberia is calling.

Biden 'to be replaced by Hillary' on Obama ticket

</EM>
Friday, 26 September 2008

Several US websites are today claiming vice-presidential candidate Joe Biden is set drop out of the US election to be replaced by Hillary Clinton on the Democratic presidential ticket.

Biden, running as Barack Obama's number two, is said to be ready to drop out due to health reasons.
The 61-year-old had surgery ten ago years for two brain aneurysms and could leave the race after the vice presidential debates take place on 2 October, leaving the position open for Mrs Clinton to step up.
Pundits say the huge media interest surrounding John McCain's selection of Sarah Palin has prompted a rethink in the Democratic camp.
The Obama campaign's official website 'Fight the Smears' - set up to suppress any damaging internet rumours - has not addressed the latest reports, fuelled speculation that there may be some truth in the rumour.
The only statement Obama's camp have released is to say that Biden's medical records will be released shortly.
Biden has been responsible for a number of gaffes in the last two weeks, including admitting his own ad campaign was 'terrible' in a CBS news interview and at one stage even acknowledged that Hillary Clinton may have been a safer bet for Obama's vice president position.
However Democratic supporters have dismissed claims that Biden may drop out.
Democratic strategist Bob Beckel said: "It's crazy...it's just not going to happen."
Christopher Hull, presidential scholar at Georgetown University in Washington DC said: “Joe Biden is not that big a liability. Joe Biden was arguably the most experienced candidate in the [Democratic primary] race.”
“Joe Biden, of course, has shot off his mouth and gotten himself in trouble,” he added. “It’s Joe Biden we’re talking about.”
Obama has stood firm on his decision to install Biden as his number two, telling NBC's Today Show on Tuesday this week: 'Joe Biden is also an outstanding public servant and I am very proud of the choice that I made.' He added that he's a 'great admirer of Senator Clinton's' and hopes she will remain 'a close adviser'.

If any of you watched the debate last night I have one observation among many other's but this one stood out to me.

Obama kept saying that we need to change the world's perception of the US and he sounds like he wants to do that by changing our philosphies and how we do things. To me, America has always been a leader or a Father/mother if you will. If the childern(non super powers, 3rd world countries, ect...And that is not meant as a slam on any of them) are now going to dictate or tell the parents how things should be, then what do you have? Bedlam!! We need to stick to our plan's and continue to make our views known and hold people to the fire!! Not placate to a bunch of whining countries who don't play by the rules.

I think whatever happens in Congress this weekend and the repercussion in the next four weeks will push the election result either way.

I see Congress are showing their usual maturity and going for the as Dolly Parton would say the "rollie coaster" option.

I read some statistical evidence awhile back that showed that most of our U.S. Presidents were those whose background included governership of a state.

IMO, this news story spotlights the fuzzy political thinking of the idiot voters in this country.

It makes absolutely no sense at all to have doubts about Sarah Palin's executive experience level, while giving a complete pass to that of Barack Obambi, who has less than four years experience in the U.S. Senate, with no legislative accomplishments at all. Furthermore, the U.S. Senate is definitely not a satisfactory venue for training potential presidents.

I agree Stumpy. But you and I both also know that alot of people vote with there hearts instead of there heads. And some even vote with the head that they "sit" on!!

A friend was recently reading a book of presidential trivia, and if I remember correctly, JFK was the only senator who has been elected president. Governors seem to have a much higher rate of success. Of course, one way or another, a senator will take over the White House this time around.
