Biden: Palin Was in 6th Grade the Last Time McCain Had a New Idea

ABC News’ Matthew Jaffe reports: At a Thursday afternoon rally at William Jewell College in Liberty, Mo., Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden fired back at his Republican counterpart Gov. Sarah Palin for a comment she made two weeks ago about his age.

"Sarah Palin says, you know, ‘I was in second grade when Joe Biden was elected to the United States Senate at age 29.’ That’s true, but she was in sixth grade the last time John had a new idea."

The Show-Me state audience loved Biden’s line, laughing uproariously and rising to their feet in response to the Delaware lawmaker’s retort to the Alaskan governor’s pre-veep-debate zinger two weeks ago in Ohio.

"I’m looking forward to meeting him, too. I’ve never met him before," Palin had said Sept. 29 at a Columbus rally, ahead of the running mates’ Oct. 2 St. Louis showdown. "But I’ve been hearing about his Senate speeches since I was in, like, second grade."

Palin was eight years old when Biden was first elected to Capitol Hill in 1972. At the time, Republican presidential nominee John McCain was 36.

The Delaware lawmaker’s comment was not the only age-related jab he threw at McCain today.

"You know, the hardest part, I’ve been the youngest everything for so much of my life," the 65-year-old Biden said at a stop at a downtown Liberty bookstore earlier Thursday. "Now I’m the old guy in the campaign. Thank God John McCain’s around."

But Joe’s “ideas”, graft, corruption, deceit and obscene waste of my money, are indeed TIMELESS! Joe needs to get back to plagiarism if he wants some fresh campaign material! He and the paperboy from Illinois are the two most corrupt politicians that ever slithered down the pike!

attach dog baby. Time to bundle her in with the Mccain digs. Unfortunately Biden had personal business to attend to this weekend. Now he can spend all his time slamming McPalin.

Washington D.C. – Today, Senator McCain sent the following letter to Senator Obama regarding ongoing Congressional efforts towards bipartisan lobbying reform. The following is the text from that letter:
February 6, 2006
The Honorable Barack Obama
United States Senate
SH-713
Washington, DC 20510
Dear Senator Obama:
I would like to apologize to you for assuming that your private assurances to me regarding your desire to cooperate in our efforts to negotiate bipartisan lobbying reform legislation were sincere.
When you approached me and insisted that despite your leadership’s preference to use the issue to gain a political advantage in the 2006 elections, you were personally committed to achieving a result that would reflect credit on the entire Senate and offer the country a better example of political leadership, I concluded your professed concern for the institution and the public interest was genuine and admirable.
Thank you for disabusing me of such notions with your letter to me dated February 2, 2006, which explained your decision to withdraw from our bipartisan discussions. I’m embarrassed to admit that after all these years in politics I failed to interpret your previous assurances as typical rhetorical gloss routinely used in politics to make self-interested partisan posturing appear more noble.
Again, sorry for the confusion, but please be assured I won’t make the same mistake again.
As you know, the Majority Leader has asked Chairman Collins to hold hearings and mark up a bill for floor consideration in early March. I fully support such timely action and I am confident that, together with Senator Lieberman, the Committee on Governmental Affairs will report out a meaningful, bipartisan bill.
You commented in your letter about my “interest in creating a task force to further study” this issue, as if to suggest I support delaying the consideration of much-needed reforms rather than allowing the committees of jurisdiction to hold hearings on the matter. Nothing could be further from the truth. The timely findings of a bipartisan working group could be very helpful to the committee in formulating legislation that will be reported to the full Senate.
Since you are new to the Senate, you may not be aware of the fact that I have always supported fully the regular committee and legislative process in the Senate, and routinely urge Committee Chairmen to hold hearings on important issues. In fact, I urged Senator Collins to schedule a hearing upon the Senate’s return in January.
Furthermore, I have consistently maintained that any lobbying reform proposal be bipartisan. The bill Senators Joe Lieberman and Bill Nelson and I have introduced is evidence of that commitment as is my insistence that members of both parties be included in meetings to develop the legislation that will ultimately be considered on the Senate floor.
As I explained in a recent letter to Senator Reid, and have publicly said many times, the American people do not see this as just a Republican problem or just a Democratic problem. They see it as yet another run-of-the-mill Washington scandal, and they expect it will generate just another round of partisan gamesmanship and posturing. Senator Lieberman and I, and many other members of this body, hope to exceed the public’s low expectations. We view this as an opportunity to bring transparency and accountability to the Congress, and, most importantly, to show the public that both parties will work together to address our failings.
As I noted, I initially believed you shared that goal. But I understand how important the opportunity to lead your party’s effort to exploit this issue must seem to a freshman Senator, and I hold no hard feelings over your earlier disingenuousness. Again, I have been around long enough to appreciate that in politics the public interest isn’t always a priority for every one of us. Good luck to you, Senator.
Sincerely,
John McCain
United States Sen

Usually, I would never say what I’m about to say. Generally, I’m very polite. But this muslim racism and fear mongering is really getting to me. This is what I have to say about your insistence in trying to drum up fear because someone has a name that is of Arabic origin:
SHUT THE HELL UP!! YOUR HATE, FEAR AND IGNORANCE ARE SHOWING, YOU PIECE OF SLIME! QUIT TRYIN TO SOUND SO INNOCENT ABOUT TRYING TO RACE BAIT. YOUR BRAND OF IGNORANCE MAKES INTELLIGENT AND NON-RACIST AMERICANS SICK.

McCain-palin tactics and temperament.
.
Dear concerned citizens of America and Mass Media of the U.S.A.
As a concerned registered independent voter, forensic psychiatrist, disabled American I made my decision to vote after taking into consideration following joint tickets attributes and characteristics.
1. Has the ticket shown adequate calmness, coolness, and connectedness’s under pressure to lead our nation [Presidential Temperament]?
2. Has the ticket shown sustained sound “Judgment and Caliber”?
3. Has the ticket shown adequate understanding of depth and degree to address the crucial challenges in their their purpose, policies, and positions [ Honesty, integrity and sincerity]?
4. Has the ticket sufficient “understanding and knowledge” of inside Washington workings [Experience]“?
5. Has the ticket reservoir resilience, wisdom, and vigor to address the present and future f our beloved “Great-grand Nation”?
6. Has the ticket enough joint foreign policy experience and exposure based on ” Values, Virtues, Vastness, and ” [American moral soul]“?
7. Has their campaign talk, slogans, ads, plans, and programs based on facts and are they free of fear, fiction, frivolous labels, unfair attacks, negativity, and impulsively? [No "imminent danger to national
security and safety"].
8. Has the ticket genuinely kept on message of country first and politics last and avoided copying [Message change"]?
9.Has the ticket message stayed away from Culture divide and war[ Disaster prevention ]?
10. Has the ticket resisted being surrounded, supported and surrogate’s by divisiveness, distortion’s, and destructive characters, [ Real patriotism VS shiftiness and shameless parrot-ism]?
11. Has the ticket thoughtful, real non-partisan, & non-impulsive plans to address our current economic crisis or political tactics and temperamental statements.
I have personally and professionally concluded that OBAMA-BIDEN ticket will lift and inspire our greatgrand nation back to its greatness within and restore our global standing with the use of maximum, firm
international diplomacy and minimal force if and when indicated {” Peace thru Strenght “}.
12. The era of responsibility has to replace irresponsibility and unaccountability will change to accountability and transparency. The Wall Street greed will change to Main Street need.
13. Temperamental and Angry McCain is out to play and create a card mistrust and distress around Obama with the Vail of claim that he will bring bipartisanship in Washington DC. He is destroying him claim every by painting Obama naive. It is tragic, sad, and unfortunate that so called Maverick McCain has already generated a disdain and demeaning face off in the debates and bailout suggestion. Obama is real Presidential and he maintained a smile during the debate and while McCain had a constant grin and disdain towards Obama.
Yours sincerely,
COL. A.M.Khajawall [Ret] MD.
Forensic psychiatrist, Disabled American Veteran and Iraq
Freedom team. Grass roots California leader per Senator McCain’s
PS: It is sad and unfortunate that Hon, Temperamental and angry Maverick McCain has changed into bitter rather than better man.

From the standpoint of the “media” it appears that Barack Obama will be the next President and has anyone noticed that the Stock Market is plummeting, sinking into the abyss. The people (and it does not take an economist) know that the Obama tax and redistribution policies will destroy jobs, wages, stocks in retirement accounts. Obama’s polices will make economic conditions in America much worse and this is clear and they are beginning to remove their money as Obama pulls ahead in the polls. It’s over for America with Obama at the helm.

If McCarthy-era guilt-by-association is once again a valid political consideration, Palin has more to lose than Obama.
Palin thinks so little of America’s perfection that she continues to “pal around” with a man -her husband, actually- who only recently terminated his seven-year membership in the Alaskan Independence Party.
Putting plunder above patriotism, the members of this treasonous cabal aim to break our country into pieces and walk away with Alaska’s rich federal oil fields and one-fifth of America’s land base.

Oh Independent Realist, beware of selective memories. During Bush I there was a short but expensive war followed by an economic contraction. Productivity, however, soared as a consequence of business consolidations and high unemployment. Bill benefitted from that. The country climbed out of the recession and with lower oil prices and high productivity, the economy took off. And yes, Centrist Bill played a big role in that. This time out, the situation is reversed. The next President is guaranteed to suffer under the weight of a recession that is just gathering steam. The chance of the next President serving only one term is very close to certainty.

Posted by: jcarob | October 9, 2008, 5:37 pm 5:37 pm

For your info, I don’t belong to a party. Obviously you do though. You will someday be telling your grandkids how the republican party destroyed the country, and were never voted for again.
To think you had the chance to have Ron Paul as your candidate, but since republicans always make the wrong choice they will never be elected into high office again.

Sure, pit bull Palin has been following Biden and politics since she was in the second grade. That’s why her brain has been so damaged that she is unable to even utter ONE COHERENT sentence now, let alone answer a question. What a lark! She learns foreign policy from looking out her window, or being told that “she is gorgeous”from the leader of a country that practices gender segregation (lick-my-lips!). So smart that we have all seen the evidence from the Gibson and Couric interviews. A second grade politician indeed – can she really repeat all the letters of the alphabet yet???

Governor Tim Kaine (D-VA), who is national co-chair of the Obama campaign, has been restoring the voting rights of convicted felons in Virginia at a lightning fast pace this year working in tandem with staff at the State Board of Elections and then woring to register these convicted felons to vote.
Kaine, the much touted whiz-kid Virginia Governor, who was rumored to be on Obama’s short list for V.P, also announced today that 570 STATE JOBS will be cut because of a $2.5 billion dollar shortfall in his state’s government.
Maybe Governor Kaine should have taken a few pointers from Governor Palin, who actually had a budget surplus and could afford to give money back to the people of her state.

Is this the same Palin that as mayor ran a town of only 6000 $22 MILLION into debt?
Yah, great advice.
Alaska is an oil rich state that thrves because it has a population of 650,000. Palin increased taxes (which notice she doesn’t support now) on gas companies and requested MORE EAR MARKS PER CAPITA than any other governor in America. More than Obama, but you notice they never mention that part.
Also, the tax revenue given back to the public was in place BEFORE palin took office. She simply incresed the return when she uped the taxes.
So is she for MORE taxes then?

History teaches us lessons, we should pay attention:
“There is ..a (sic) historical precedent that Democrat presidencies have just been better for the economy.
From 1953 to 2006, average real GDP growth was 4.2 percent under Democrats and 2.8 percent under Republicans, said Benedikt Germanier, chief currency strategist in the U.S. at UBS AG in Stamford, Connecticut.
Stock prices have also tended to perform better under Democrats. Since 1900, the Dow Industrials have climbed 13.3 percent annually under Democrats versus just 7.1 percent under Republicans, Germanier said. Reuters 10/8/08

What about Sarah Palin’s association with the American Independence Party? The group’s stated goal is to secede from the United States — a treasonous offense. Todd Palin was a member of this party, and Sarah Palin attended at least two of their conventions and — whoops! — spoke to their convention as recently as this past Summer. The founder of the party, the late Joe Voegler, once condemned the American flag. Where are the questions about whether Palin loves the American flag?
What about Sarah Palin’s association with the witch doctor, Pastor Muthee, who blessed Palin at her church and prayed for her “finances”? Does Sarah Palin believe in witches? Does Sarah Palin support witch hunts? Does she know who Cotton Mather was?
What about Sarah Palin’s association with indicted Senator Ted “Tubes” Stevens, whose 527 organization was run by Sarah Palin?
Then there’s Senator McCain.
What about Senator McCain’s association with convicted Watergate burglar G. Gordon Liddy? This is the guy who, on the public airwaves, instructed his viewers about how to kill a federal agent. This is the guy who boasted that he fired a handgun at a cardboard standee of Senator Hillary Clinton. Yet Senator McCain has appeared on Liddy’s radio show numerous times since these statements — as recently as May, 2008.
What about Senator McCain’s relationship with pastor Rod Parsley, who wants to engage in religious warfare?
What about Senator McCain’s relationship with anti-Catholic, anti-Semitic pastor John Hagee?
Should I go on?
What about Senator McCain’s relationship with his chief campaign advisor Charlie Black who said a terrorist attack would help the campaign?
What about Senator McCain’s association with Shelley Shannon who is accused of shooting and wounding an abortion doctor?
What about Senator McCain’s association with Charles Keating? What about his association with Freddie Mac lobbyist Rick Davis — you know, John McCain’s campaign manager? What about his association with the U.S. Council for World Freedom, whose board also included a Nazi sympathizer?

First they killed those pigs and then they put a fork in their bellies. Wild!” Dohrn also charged that her fellow left-wingers showed themselves to be scared “honkies” for not burning down Chicago when Black Panther leader Fred Hampton was killed, and urged her audience to arm themselves and be “a fighting force alongside the blacks”.

Why don’t you look it up yourself. You know how to do that right?
Here’s a snippet for you to chew on.
“As Media Matters for America has noted, Liddy served four and a half years in prison in connection with his conviction for his role in the Watergate break-in and the break-in at the office of the psychiatrist of Daniel Ellsberg, the military analyst who leaked the Pentagon Papers. Liddy has acknowledged preparing to kill someone during the Ellsberg break-in “if necessary”; plotting to murder journalist Jack Anderson; plotting with a “gangland figure” to murder Howard Hunt to stop him from cooperating with investigators; plotting to firebomb the Brookings Institution; and plotting to kidnap “leftist guerillas” at the 1972 Republican National Convention — a plan he outlined to the Nixon administration using terminology borrowed from the Nazis. (The murder, firebombing, and kidnapping plots were never carried out; the break-ins were.) During the 1990s, Liddy reportedly instructed his radio audience on multiple occasions on how to shoot Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms agents and also reportedly said he had named his shooting targets after Bill and Hillary Clinton.”

Actually, Hillary did tie Obama to a terrorist but she had to go easy on him because she didn’t want to be seen as undemocratic. She certainly could have nailed his ass.
Obama has done a pretty good job of tying himself to terrorist and nasty, hateful people. If people would open their eyes and listen to all sides of the story, they might know that.

Everyone is sick and tired of Barack Hussein Obama lying about the financial crisis. President Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton passed banking regulation that forced banks to give people with bad credit real estate mortgages. Banks have traditional required a person to have sufficient funds to help pay a mortgage. A person had to show a bank that they are a responsible person with good future earnings, a bank account that showed regular deposits and credit references that showed on time payments for items purchased with credit. The bank regulations made effective by Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton forbid the use of red-lining. The banks had to give a real estate mortgage to everyone or face a law suit. That is coercion of the worse kind.
President Bush had advisement of the coming problem developing with Freddie and Fannie. Democrats like Barack Hussein Obama and the controlling Democrat congress said there is nothing to concern anyone. The Democrats with Barack Hussein Obama voted NO for any control of Fannie and Freddie or any other banking concerns. Barack Hussein Obama treated the Freddie and Fannie situation as business as usual. The financial crisis is not just due to President Bush and the last eight years. That is a lie and a distortion of the truth created by Barack Hussein Obama.
Barack Hussein Obama had a chance to help head off the financial crisis and did nothing. Now, Barack Hussein Obama says he can fix that which he helped to break. He has no realistic solution to fix that which he helped to break. Barack Hussein Obama’s education did not help him understand simple mathematics. Barack Hussein Obama’s education taught him nothing about finance and banking.

Troopergate is the only thing the Democrats have against Palin, and it does not come close to the controversies surrounding Obama and Biden. The Democrats are desperate if they are going to defend a trooper who tasered a 10 yr old. The commissioner that Sarah Palin is accused of forcing to quit was not doing his job in other areas, not just troopergate. Palin reassigned him and he refused and quit. The trooper in question is her former brother-in-law and he has anger issues. He tasered a 10 yr old and threatened his ex-wife’s family. He needs to be in jail.

Talk About Reaching Into The Grave
Obama supporters talk about Todd Palin’s association with a dead man, a man that was disenchanted with the corruption in Washington, D.C. during his lifetime. Joe Vogler supported America’s freedoms under the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Joe Vogler (1913-1993) was the founder of the Alaskan Independence Party and active in politics, regularly running for public office in Alaska for many years. Vogler was born April 24, 1913, on a farm outside Barnes, Kansas. Joe Vogler attended the University of Kansas on a scholarship in 1929. He graduated with a law degree in five years and was admitted to the Kansas State Bar.
Obama’s Anti-American supporters are alive and kicking. Obama’s supporters point to destroying the American way. Obama points to China and he say China is an example we can follow. I guess Obama wants communism and the controlling of the entire population of America.
Here is something all Americans must look at:

This from the Dummy who thought that
Franklin Roosevelt was President
during the 1929 Stock Market Crash and
that he went on Television to calm the
American People(unfortunately for this
moron Television was not in U.S.
households until at least 15 years
later)!
Hey Joe why don’t we meet at that diner
in Pennsylvania that you mentioned at the VP debate? Oh I forgot it’s been
closed for about 20 years!
Hey Dopey Joe, when did the U.S. and
France kick Hezbollah out of Lebanan?
Oh I forgot it Never Happened! FOOL!

So why the heck would I care about Ayers. Are you kidding me. That’s the last thing on my mind. What BS this is. I want to know what each canidate will do for this economy. That is what we should all be worried about.

You had better care about a candidate when voting for a president. Selecting someone closely associated with terrorists and connected to an anti-American church will not bring back a home or anything else. A national healthcare plan will take away much-needed dollars for individuals to spend. The national healthcare plan is a sham to get your vote. In fact, the national healthcare plan will become socialized medicine under a different name.
Barack Hussein Obama does not have a solid plan. Barack Hussein Obama flip-flops so many times that even Joe Biden cannot keep up with the flip-flops.

John SYDNEY McCain III—out of touch, out of time, out of his mind.

Posted by: Joe V | October 9, 2008, 10:26 pm 10:26 pm

The righteous republicans can’t take it, they are going to go completely crazy before this is over. If Palin was really a Christian she would put her faith in God rather than use vile smear tactics. Shame on her, she must be serving another god. Obama’s intellect out-weighs McCane/McWalker’s 26 year deadbeat record in the senate.

Hey “Truth” (sic)—Last June Sarah “Stepford Wife” Palin spoke to a gathering of the Alaska separatist group the First Dude belongs to. The founder of that groups hates everything American, so who’s really consorting with not only terrorists but TRAITORS? Peppermint Palin!

Sarah Palin may have been 10 when a cover-up of POW information started. John McCain helped do it. The question we need to ask him is just why …1973 is when the Hanoi peace treaty was signed in Paris. 1974 is the year where every known POW was turned over to the U.S.
Nixon and Kissinger were surprised by the ‘low’ number of POWs said to be held in Hanoi.
In 1992, there were hearings saying that there were prisoners missing from the list of names reported in 1973. Not quite 600 names were on the ‘treaty’ list.
“In the late 1970s and early 1980s, listening stations picked up messages in which Laotian military personnel spoke about moving American prisoners from one labor camp to another. ” Distress signals were picked up by NSA.
A woman named Dolores Alfond attended a 1992 committee meeting about the listening devices. “McCain attended that committee hearing specifically to confront Alfond because of her criticism of the panel’s work. He bellowed and berated her for quite a while. His face turning anger-pink, he accused her of “denigrating” his “patriotism.” The bullying had its effect—she began to cry.”
Hanoi suggested it was using other POWs as bargaining chips.
In 1991, the Pentagon started actively covering up any suggestion there were POWs left behind in Hanoi, despite the claim of up to over 1,200 soldiers on the list.
“John McCain—now campaigning for the White House as a war hero, maverick and straight shooter—owes the voters some explanations. …I have not found a single mention of his role in burying information about POWs. Television and radio news programs have been similarly silent….The only explanation McCain has ever offered for his leadership on legislation that seals POW files is that he believes the release of such information would only stir up fresh grief for the families of those who were never accounted for in Vietnam.” Sydney H. Schanberg, The Nation.

You are right, Alica. Joe’s graft, corruption, deceit and obscene waste of our money, are indeed TIMELESS.
We are grateful to Palin for having the courage to make the most vital questions. Nothing is more important than knowing whether a candidate will work for us or for our enemies. That’s why we must question Obama’s numerous and close associations with people who hate the U.S. and seek to destroy it.
And we must question Obama’s links not only to home-grown Marxists and terrorists but also with foreign Marxists, such as his Kenyan relative Odinga.
Obama used his elected office—and taxpayers’ dollars—to support Kenya’s Raila Odinga, self touted as “Your Agent for Change,” a violent and dangerous man who made a pact with the Muslims to institute sharia (Islamic law). Odinga’s followers killed 750 people and burned a Christian church with 50 people, many of them children, inside.

Dear Truth, if you care about the economy, you must vote against those most responsible for the problem: Obama is on top.
Obama received millions in donations from his friends in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and now, thanks to the bailout, we will pay for that! In other words, we will are paying for the millions Obama is investing in propaganda to brainwash us.

McCain is a pathetic old man without one shred of honour or integrity. He’s an embarrassment to our country. Palin is an empty-headed buffoon. They are both filthy liars.
Sen. Obama and Sen. Biden are the only people capable of leading us through these tough times.
