Question: How many times did Biden mention Scranton between all his lies?

f&c: "what, the same "folk" who twice voted in the worst president America's ever had?" Georgy W. Busch served, unfortunately for two terms.

Bush has been successfull with a legacy of destroying terrorism and removing th Taliban and Saddam, two of the most evil and dangerous regimes in living memory.

Palin believes in carrying bon the fight in Iraq, Biden wants to "cut and ruun". Bidens attitude is not acceptable to patriots, nor is Obama's.

Palin wants to kill everyone. that is a fact provided by the neutral FOX news. Didn't you see? Also, do us a favor and try to spell correctly sometime? I know it may be a hard task.

Fox news supports Palin 100%, i watch all day whilst working, so i know your claim is false.

Palin humiliated Biden, as i mentioned bfore, a fct you afil to mention, just making personal attack instead, which BTW i am immune to.

Palin showed what a dinasaur Biden is, the guys mindset is stuck in the fifties, he probably thinks Bill Haley is the latest "in" thing. Hee! Hee!

If FandB is working as hard as he/she says, they must be making the econmy better, no wonder he/she supports Palin.

Palin certainly made Biden look like an out of touch fool, haha, it was so funny!

I see that you mention Biden's lies but you never give examples. The nice thing about this forum is that JT will allow you to give instances of Joe's lies and they will let you include the website or other source that your information originated from. So feel free to use this in your comments; I do it all the time.

FandB,

I'm changing the subject? unable to debate?

I'm responding to your claim that you are trouncing the liberals here, for which you have offered no evidence. I've directly countered that claim with an example that shows that a person's own opinion of what he is doing is sometimes at odds with what he is actually doing, that--in fact--the opinion is sometimes pure fantasy. You have responded only, and incorrectly, that I have changed the subject.

If in your mind the subject is the Biden/Palin debate, I'd invite you to scroll on up and see the comments that I have made about that. When you have addressed those, we can talk more.

FandB,

Betzee- So do you admit defeat now? Surely you don't imagine Obama can get himself out of this one?

Um, yes I can. Obama's got a double-digit lead over McCain in Virginia. And please don't nit-pick about the amount of time it took me to respond to your questions; I have to work two jobs now as a result of what GWB did to the economy.

goodDonkey - For example, Biden wrongly claimed that McCain "voted the exact same way" as Obama on the budget bill that contained an increase on singles making as little as $42,000 a year. McCain voted against it.

Biden's political and influential reach is so great, no fewer than 18 states think that he is their senator. Nyuk nyuk nyuk!

I saw the debate, and surprisingly the biggest bloopers came from Biden. I had to hold on to my chair when he claimed (with straight face) that that e.g. the French had kicked out Hizbollah from Lebanon. Woha, what a foreign policy expert. Some pundits have been having fun disecting all the smaller tall tales he made up, for example the home depot store where he claimed to "spend many hours", yet none of the employees had ever seen him there. Of course, don´t expect the media to pick up any of that. Now, if Palin had delivered a blooper... well, you know. Watchful media and all that.

I drink to double standards.

"If" Palin had delivered a blooper (as though she didn't), Biden might have caught it. Too bad she wasn't up on the fact that it Syria and not Hezbollah so that she could make a correction that would have been accurate but beside the point--like her insightful "Drill, baby. Drill," correction.

" Too bad she wasn't up on the fact that it Syria and not Hezbollah so that she could make a correction "

Did you see it? It was not a give and take format. Besides, just correcting all of Bidens bloopers would have taken another hour.

If Palin had made any of that type, we would hear them day in day out now. q.e.d.

Gaffe machine Joe Biden garnered 1 percent of the primary vote in places like Iowa.

Watching liberals defend and explain what this blowhard 'really meant' is better than watching SNL.
SezWho2 at 06:31 AM JST - 9th October

WilliB,

Yes, I saw it. My point was that, format aside, if Palin could work in a trivial correction on whether the phrase was "Drill, drill, drill!" or "Drill, baby. Drill!" she could also have worked in a connection on whether the US and France had combined to push out Hezbollah or Syria--if she had noticed it.

Actually, for coulrophobic's continuing amusement, Biden's claim that Hezbollah was pushed out was not so far off base if what he was referring to was Syrian military support for Hezbollah. I rather imagine that Biden knows that Hezbollah itself has not disappeared from Lebanon. Don't you?
