Joe "Dirt" Biden

The Obama camp was out in full force today. I wouldn't say they'd consider a very productive day...

Biden helped the struggling Obama campaign out today by telling a man in a wheelchair to stand up.


He did this after making some fantastic remarks about when life begins. For him, it starts at conception. Well, don't you think that's a little strange coming from a campaign who supports abortion. Read this article, you can't make this stuff up.

Joe Dirt wasn't done insulting people though. He told voters in voters in Columbia, Mo., “I hear all this talk about how the Republicans are going to work in dealing with parents who have both the joy, because there’s joy to it as well, the joy and the difficulty of raising a child who has a developmental disability, who were born with a birth defect. Well guess what folks? If you care about it, why don’t you support stem cell research?”

McCain camp responded with..."“Barack Obama’s running mate sunk to a new low today launching an offensive debate over who cares more about special needs children. Playing politics with this issue is disturbing and indicative of a desperate campaign,” said campaign spokesman Ben Porritt

Somebody needs to tell this guy that stem cell research can't do anything for kids with Down syndrome and other developmental disabilities. Read the article here.

Barack Obama didn't want to be outdone by his running mate so today he said this little gem... "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig." Here is an article by the New York Post which says he "put his foot in his mouth." Do you think he's making a reference to Palin? It looks like the audience took it that way...I do too. Here it is in it's context.

Jesus Is My Friend

You'll be singing this all day long.

Hottest toy of the season...

Quickly gaining strength and rivaling other gangs are the political nerds (who me?). Reminiscent of "trekkies", these "politickies" (I'm coining that one) have a new toy to play with. The Sarah Palin Action Figure hit the net today from the same company (http://www.herobuilders.com/) that built our favorite players John McCain, Hillary Clinton, and Mr. B. O., Dick Cheney, George Bush, and many more.
The Palin action figure costs about $30 and comes in three versions; the executive, the superhero, and, of course the naughty school girl.

Olbermann and Matthews go Ba-bye.

MSNBC has relieved Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews of their duties of brown nosing the democratic party. They will most certainly continue their practice for their role as commentators but no longer as anchors who are supposed to remain unbiased. MSNBC finished dead last...read the complete story here.

Also, McCain now leads by a 10 point margin according to a recent USA Today poll.

Prediction

Just a quick prediction before Palin gives her speech tonight. No matter how good it is; no matter if it is the best speech ever given by a politician, a woman, or a human being in the history of mankind, the media will tear it apart and say that she didn't deliver. The hypocrisy from the left and the media is absolutely amazing. They are tearing Palin apart because she is running "in a time of family crisis". However, they only had praise for Biden when he took office 2 weeks after his wife was killed in a car accident. TWO WEEKS! He took his oath of office at his son's bedside in the hospital!!!

I thought the left was all about women in the work force. That women could do it all. Why is the left all of a sudden concerned about proper parenting? I guess a woman who is against abortion and is conservative just doesn't fit the mold of what they had in mind.

This will all backfire on the media. They are only rallying the troops behind Palin. The last thing they want is a mobilized force of soccer mom's coming to the aide of one of their sisters. The media is throwing everything they possibly can at her right now...they will run out of ammo soon, but they will then be facing a unified conservative, evangelical, republican base.

Final thought. Has anyone ever thought that a baby is a "punishment"? Some babies aren't planned and some come at "inconvenient" times in people's lives but are they ever a "punishment"? After that same baby turns 4 years old, 10, 15, reaches adulthood...are they still a "punishment"? Did you know that Obama's mom was 17 when he was conceived AND she wasn't married?

I guess his momma was punished with a baby. Watch this....
