Oh Joe There You Go Again!
This is getting to be like a broken record: Big Mouth Biden does it again. Turns out that during last week's Vice Presidential debate with Governor Sarah Palin, Senator Joe Biden got more wrong than she did, including, somehow forgetting that his favorite diner back home closed down over 20 years ago. From the Wall Street Journal:"Closer to home, the Delaware blarney stone also invited Americans to join him at "Katie's restaurant" in Wilmington to witness middle-class struggles. Just one problem: Katie's closed in the 1980s. The mistake is more than a memory lapse because it exposes how phony is Mr. Biden's attempt to pose for this campaign as Lunchbucket Joe."
More importantly, the Journal also catalogs a number of foreign policy points which Biden, the purported expert, got wrong and coincidentally Sarah Palin and John McCain were correct on.
If you want to see a comprehensive list of Joe's gaffes, blunders and misstatements since he was selected as Barack Obama's running mate, click here. But I caution you, make sure you have an hour or two to read it.
Say it ain't so Joe!

Never in living memory has an election been more critical than the one fast approaching—that’s the quadrennial cliché, as expected as the balloons and the bombast. And yet when has it ever felt so urgently true? When have so many Americans had so clear a sense that a Presidency has—at the levels of competence, vision, and integrity—undermined the country and its ideals?
At a moment of economic calamity, international perplexity, political failure, and battered morale, America needs both uplift and realism, both change and steadiness. It needs a leader temperamentally, intellectually, and emotionally attuned to the complexities of our troubled globe. That leader’s name is Barack Obama.
Lies!lies!lies! from Biden.
The future of earth depends on this pertinent fact!
Biden's diner no longer exists!
Shocking!
To the obsessed cut and paster: TAKE YOUR MEDS YOU PSYCHO!
It's not that Biden lied, it's that what he is selling is bullshit.
Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, you might enjoy reading this...'Walking Eagle' Senator BARACK OBAMA was invited to address a major gathering of the American Indian Nation two weeks ago in upstate New York
HE spoke for almost an hour on HIS future plans for increasing every Native American's present standard of living, should HE one day become the President. HE referred to his career as a Senator, how he had signed 'YES' for every Indian issue that came to his desk for approval. Although the Senator was vague on the details of his plan, he seemed most enthusiastic about his future ideas for helping his 'red sisters and brothers'.
At the conclusion of his speech, the Tribes presented the Senator with a plaque inscribed with his new Indian name - Walking Eagle.
The proud Senator then departed in his motor cade, waving to the crowds.
A news reporter later inquired to the group of chiefs of how they came to select the new name given to the Senator.
They explained that Walking Eagle is the name given to a bird so full of shit it can no longer fly.
The future of earth depends on this pertinent fact!
Biden's diner no longer exists!
It's too bad they never served him up a dose of ptomaine while they were open, that is IF HE EVER ACTUALLY ATE THERE!
Yes its a trivial point and one that deserves little consideration except for the fact that the man was fabricating, was arranging words to suit his situation, and seems to repeat that process continually.
The "future of Earth" may never depend on Joe's ability to discern the truth from fantasy, but the future of this Country may. Then he's only running for VP, and Obama is many times more highly experienced and qualified to hold the highest office in the Land.
Thank JESUS for sending Barack Obama to this world!
Obama scandal brewing. Watch Chicago Tribune.

McCain lossing ground to Obama
http://news.aol.com/elections/article/mccain-loses-ground-to-obama-in-polls/203370
Oct. 7) - With less than four weeks before Election Day, various polls point to a tougher race for Republican John McCain with Democrat Barack Obama pulling ahead.
The Republican campaign's been hurt by the troubled economy -- with more respondents saying they think Obama would do a better job there than McCain. President Bush's dismal approval ratings, along with questions about Republican running mate Sarah Palin's readiness for the job have also worked to Obama's advantage.
In a national poll by CNN/Opinion Research Corporation, Obama leads McCain 53 percent to 45 percent among likely voters. The 8-point lead is twice what it was in the last CNN/Opinion Research Corporation, taken in mid-September.
A Fox News/Ramusssen Reports poll of five battleground states finds little good news for McCain. Obama has widened his lead in Colorado, Florida and Missouri, and little has changed in two other key states, Ohio and Virginia, where Obama has the edge.
A new Washington Post-ABC News poll, however, shows that Obama now has the advantage in Ohio because more voters believe he would be a better steward of the economy. McCain still has the edge on leading the U.S. fight against terrorism and the Iraq war, but fewer voters identify those as top issues.
Other polls of battleground states, these by CNN/Time magazine/Opinion Research Corp., underscore the challenge for McCain in Indiana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio and Wisconsin. The only one of those states where McCain enjoys a lead is Indiana, where 51 percent of likely voters say they back him compared to 46 percent for Obama. But that's a slim margin, especially when you consider that Bush carried the state by 21 percentage points four years ago.
Finally, a CBS News poll shows the Democratic ticket leading the Republican ticket 47 to 43 percent among registered voters.
Against this backdrop, the two candidates face off tonight at Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn., for their second presidential debate. What's your take on the race and who do you want to see win the White House?
DESPERATE TIMES CAUSE FOR DESPERATE MEASURES. EVERYONE IS SLAMMING MCCAIN-PALIN AND HOW UGLY THEY HAVE ALLOWED THINGS TO GET. EVEN THE REPUBLICAN STRATEGIST SAY THEY DIDN'T THINK MCCAIN WOULD GO DOWN THAT ROAD.

Obama Hatred At McCain-Palin
Rallies: "Terrorist!" "Kill Him!" (VIDEO)
...Worse, Palin's routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions for her "less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media." At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, "Sit down, boy."
"Getting ugly out there," says ABC's Jake Tapper.
American News Project went inside a pro-Palin rally set up by the McCain campaign to watch the vice presidential debate, where supporters booed moderator Gwen Ifill and laughed when Sen. Joe Biden got choked up talking about his first wife and daughter's deaths
Nobody cares.
Joe Biden is the invisible man in this campaign - even more so than most VP candidates in the past. He was an fatally ill-advised attempt to grant Obama some "gravitas" and now that Sarah Palin is the top ticket for parodying, he can't get a gaffe in edgewise.
Nobody cares. Biden is the late nght comedian's choice for VP, because they need someone to beat up with their humor the next four years (and they won't DARE criticize Barack Obama).
Obama supporters don't even care -- they never did, because Obama's inexperience never mattered to them anyway, as long as he could bumper-sticker-slogan us to death. And, McCain supporters were never going to be swayed that Obama was worth voting for, if he resurrected JFK and made him the Veep candidate.
It just don't matter!
Remember that the American people, and especially the Dem faithful have repeatedly told Biden he wasn't worthy of any serious consideration as president, when he ran over-and-over in their primaries.
But now, suddenly HE'S good enough to be a heart-throb-beat away from the presidency.
Biden's selection by BO's advsiors as the supposedly "smart, experienced guy" who was going to be in the room to "mentor" Obama during critical foreign policy decisions just shows how dumb and inexperienced Obama and his advisors are -- and what the American people have to look forward to over the next four years when it comes to key appointments by a President Obama.
Wall-to-curved-oval-office-wall loudmouth used car salesmen in every key position.
If Bill Clinton for the "first Black U.S. President" then Obama will be the first "Black Jimmah Carter" -- a "backlash" knee-jerk response to an unpopular president that ends up being more deadly to American well-being than the last guy.
CNN's Drew Griffin reports that Obama and Ayers funded niche lefty causes and Jeremiah Wright's church. And a number of sources who attended Obama's coming out party hosted by Ayers in 1995 dispute the Obama camp's portrayal of that meeting:
Obama campaign representative Anita Dunn: A Democratic state senator organizes a meeting of her supporters at the house of another one of her supporters. ... It is the worst kind of inference and the worst kind of politics to say that that says something about Barack Obama....
CNN reporter Drew Griffin: What I can tell you from two people who were actually there is that, number one, former [Democratic] state senator Alice Palmer says she in no way organized this meeting. She was invited and attended it briefly.
Dr. Quentin Young, a retired doctor, told us this indeed was Barack Obama's political coming out party, and it was hosted by Bill Ayers.
Isn't that a little more interesting for viewers than reporters' analysis of McCain's strategy of "playing" the "Ayers card"?
You'd think that more journalists would want to focus on Obama's distortion of the truth, but it seems that mainstream reporters would prefer to play the bigot card on McCain by suggesting that Ayers-related attacks are "racially-tinged" and designed to challenge Obama's "Americanness".
Documents released Tuesday by the University of Illinois at Chicago shed some light on Barack Obama's relationship with William Ayers, a founding member of the 1960s and 1970s radical group the Weather Underground.
Obama's association with Ayers, who now teaches at the university, has become an issue in the Illinois senator's presidential campaign. The Weather Underground took credit for several nonfatal bombings on targets that included the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol, and critics accuse Obama of rubbing elbows with an unabashed 1960s radical.
Obama has said that, although he knew Ayers as a professor involved in community outreach efforts in Chicago, he doesn't share Ayers' extreme views.
The massive collection of newly released documents -- 140 boxes full of them -- includes agendas that clearly put Obama and Ayers in the same room for meetings of Chicago Annenberg Challenge, an educational initiative that Ayers was instrumental in starting and that Obama chaired in the 1990s.
If this election is hinging on whether or not Katie's restaurant is still standing, you should take all your money and bet it on Obama even though he is a heavy favorite.
History's landscape is littered with dictators who tried to rally support from the people by attacking a smaller group of people and blaming them for the dictator's failures.
(Notice that I never mentioned Hitler here.)
Palin's attempt to generate public anger toward the media for the failure of the McCain-Palin campaign is somewhere between a bad campaign strategy and dangerous.
