Well - I am doing a better than decent job of interpreting your key pounding. I would figure Palin to need a lobotomy to approach your level of retard speak. [/quote]
Weak dude.
Still sobering up after the Cowboys loss?

It’s better than anything you’ve done in this thread - I only rise to the level of my competition.
No - still sobering up from our high school shellacking on Friday night.

A team from Jersey just beat the #5 team’s ass out in Cali this Saturday. It was the first time I was kind of excited about HS football since I played.

Evidently you believed the line of bull your mother fed you about being smart and handsome. I’m not your mama.
We play 6-man. Got beat 55-8. We were favored by 9.

But that’s the thing - it wasn’t a particularly difficult question, and certainly not one that someone in the running to be VP of the most powerful nation on Earth should have any difficulty with. You don’t have to be one of those elitist, salad-eating, backpacking around the world funded by your parents, over-educated college graduates to be able to answer that question with any degree of coherence and to give at least some impression that you at least vaguely understand the issues.

Which he never is. [/quote]
Pretty much, yeah.

That’s something you will never ever get anyone to understand if they want to believe that there is some hidden conspiracy which only a select few know about due to the “powers that be” which are all aligned against them.
Even when it’s pointed out that there are others who would have a huge personal interest in screaming this information from the rooftop, it doesn’t matter to them. Classic conspiracy theory stuff that can never be discredited enough for the believers.

Do understand the difference between conspiracy and bias?

Well I understand that, and that’s why I criticize her so heavily.
But it does provide a conundrum when we say we’re trying to promote democracy, but then want to immediately depose the people who are freely elected.
Look up Allende in 73’. Same thing.

That last one’s kind of a myth actually. This guy’s an acquaintance from grad school, wrote the newest history of the subject:

That’s a tough call. I need to see more criticism on that before I believe it. I have read alot that says otherwise, and America was brutal with Central America.
Bidens strategy should be an easy one. Answer the questions intelligently ( if he can ) and quickly. Rebutt if necessary.
Sit back and watch Palin hang herself.
I know air time in debates is precious and you want as much as you can get. But in his situation, less is much better than more.
Give her all the time she needs.
Good thing we only have to wait 2 days before we see the SNL spoof on this one !!!
If the Republicans win, Tina Fey is gonna be the busiest woman in show business ! Then again, they may lock Palin in the hole that Cheney has been in the last 8 years and we will never see her…which could be a good thing.
therover:
I agree…BUT…
“Killer Joe” gets into trouble when he begins to expound on a subject or gets too “chummy and personal”…(“Stand up and take a bow, Representative so-and-so, so we can all recognize the great work you do!”…ooops! To a person bound to a wheelchair…)
He can also take a condescending tone, which will turn a lot of people off if directed at Palin.
I really don’t think he will be able to stop himself. I would imagine that at this point, Palin looks like chum to a shark to Biden.
And that’s going to undo him, guaranteed.
(I can’t WAIT to analyze this debate with you guys!)

Just wait for that last 2 weeks I keep mentioning. If not the campaign itself, somebody will flood the airwaves. The ACORN crap hasn’t broken yet either. I promise you on my mother’s eyes that if there were equivalent issues the other way it be would trumpeted on every major news outlet in the world.
Lemme ask you this.
Would it make any difference to you if this were all true?
I’m not even going to respond to the other guy. I don’t misrepresent information about people because when proven it would make ME look bad I won’t have that, especially in cases where it’s so easily avoided. A person is who they are, I can’t help that. The man has a consistent history of seeking out radical socialist America hating alliances. It ain’t my fault. I’m just the messenger and certainly not the only one.

Unfortunately I’m going to miss it because I’ll be climbing in Arkansas. I’ll DVR it.
Biden will REALLY have to bite it big time to make a dent in the impression people have of Palin as Quayle 2.0 (or worse). Palin losing isn’t a foregone conclusion, but based on the way I saw the 1st POTUS debate go (contrary to how I thought it was going to pan out), I am not betting on her chances at all.
I predict the questions will be skewed by the moderator to favor Biden and she will be rude and obnoxious to Palin. The NYT’s will either fail to notice or compliment her on her treatment of the common “enemy” (Republicans)
I think it’s hilarious how both camps are creating expectations. The Obama camp talks now as if Palin is practically a lethal debater. LOL!
The questions will indeed be skewed as will her mannerism. But it will be done in a subtle manner so that those who are pro-Obama won’t notice (or, pretend not to); and those who are pro-Palin will notice but they’ll sound like whiners if they say anything.
