“One of the reasons I feel so good for Sarah Palin, just as a human being,” said former Sen. Fred Thompson, “is I have never seen anybody undergo the ridicule, the slanders and the lies, and the blogosphere and what they’re doing, and breaking into her private e-mail, rumors and things about her, and now, most recently, belittling her, taking little snippets of interviews and laughing at her and satirizing her.
Those people ought to be ashamed of themselves, if they’re capable of shame, because they’ve proven that what they were doing does not represent who she was and who she is. Thank goodness, just as she said, that this was an unfiltered event for an hour and a half. She could stand toe-to-toe with Joe Biden, who’s been around for all these many, many years, and basically take him to the woodshed.”

McCain and Palin are going to “Shake up Washington.” Ha! I know of no person, aged 72 that is going to shake up anything, save a laxative or a shaker of salt or pepper. When my father hit 72, he was doing well to shake his booty out on a tennis court (I pray he stays active), but he wasn’t trying to shake up his profession or the people he worked with.
Perhaps they’re predicting an earthquake in the Cascades that will shake up Washington State?

Obama: 3 years as a community organizer, the President of the Harvard Law Review, 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, chairman of the state Senate’s Health and Human Services committee, 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran’s Affairs committees.
Palin: Miss contest, Local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 6,000 people at the time (she left it with $22 million in debt over a hockey rink that’s still under litigation), 20 months as the governor of a state with 650,000 people.

Alaska: Palin Inquiry Can Continue
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: October 2, 2008
A judge refused to block a state investigation into whether Gov. Sarah Palin abused her power when she fired her public safety commissioner this summer. The judge, Peter A. Michalski of Anchorage Superior Court, threw out a lawsuit filed by five Republican state legislators who said the investigation had been tainted by partisan politics and was being manipulated to damage Ms. Palin shortly before the Nov. 4 presidential election. “It is legitimately within the scope of the legislature’s investigatory power to inquire into the circumstances surrounding the termination” of a public officer the Legislature had previously confirmed, the judge wrote in his decision. The five lawmakers had argued that the legislative body that ordered the investigation had exceeded its authority.
“Who can afford a corporate mobster in the White House? Vote Nader.”

Oh look concerned has his talking points.
Here’s the whole quote:
Biden: And the primary role of the vice president of the United States of America is to support the president of the United States of America, give that president his or her best judgment when sought, and as vice president, to preside over the Senate, only in a time when in fact there’s a tie vote. The Constitution is explicit.
The only authority the vice president has from the legislative standpoint is the vote, only when there is a tie vote. He has no authority relative to the Congress. The idea he’s part of the Legislative Branch is a bizarre notion invented by Cheney to aggrandize the power of a unitary executive and look where it has gotten us. It has been very dangerous.”
So if you agree with the Cheney definition of the VP, by all means vote McCain Palin.
Posted by: Ryan C | October 3, 2008, 1:36 pm 1:36 pm
Concerned in Ohio…what of my last questions to you? Until you address those, I’m just going to assume you are absurdly partisan. Why don’t you think Biden knows that the VP is the President of the Senate?
A little sweet talk from Nancy SF Values Pelosi and $100 billion in slops and those little porcine House R’s come squealing into the pen. What Bush and McCain could not do, Pelosi and Barney did by spreading a little slop on the Republican caucus pig pen floor. Please leave your conservative principles outside.
Can we get an IPhone for Concerned in Ohio so he can order some wooden arrows and Puerto Rican Rum due to the fine job McCain and Co, did adding $100 billion to the bailout bill. Palin has posted those items on E-bay.
Let’s take a look at the Constitution:
The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no vote, unless they be equally divided.
The Senate shall choose their other officers, and also a President pro tempore, in the absence of the Vice President, or when he shall exercise the office of President of the United States.”
Concerned and his right wing media are making things up again.
Must be to cover up Palin completely blowing it last night on Afghanistan.

“Biden clearly states that the Vice President’s only legislative duty is to cast a tie-breaker vote. He further claims the Constitution is explicit on that.”
It is his only legislative duty.
Also per the Constitution, the President Pro Tempore presides over the Senate in the VP’s abscence.
So please tell us how the Vice President is part of the legislative branch as Cheney and Palin have argued.
Posted by: Ryan C | October 3, 2008, 2:14 pm 2:14 pm
“The Constitution says the Vice President is the President of the Senate in all times”
Then what is the point of the President Pro Tempore?
Why to serve as the presiding officer of the Senate because the VP only has 1 legislative duty and that is breaking a tie vote.
Posted by: Ryan C | October 3, 2008, 2:16 pm 2:16 pm
“Not the only time the Vice President has a legislative role.”
So what is his legislative role as President of the Senate beyond casting a vote in a tiebreaker situation?
What does he do as President of the Senate?
Can he call floor votes?
What does he do?
And more than that, let’s get to the true heart of the argument, do you think the role of the VP should be expanded

Someone who sidesteps serious discussion and issues by just being so irreverent that it seems to be completely detract the seriousness of a subject and cut off all hope of intellectual seriousness in addressing a subject? How about an appeal to quasi-anti intellectuals? Have you known anybody who is good at switching subjects among 3 or 4 topics and expert in deceiving less than sharp witted people that the behavior is intelligent use of knowledge/tactics ? Sarah Palin has wide appeal amongst “D” students…. Scary !

Then what is the point of the President Pro Tempore?
Why to serve as the presiding officer of the Senate because the VP only has 1 legislative duty and that is breaking a tie vote.

“Not the only time the Vice President has a legislative role.”
So what is his legislative role as President of the Senate beyond casting a vote in a tiebreaker situation?
What does he do as President of the Senate?
Can he call floor votes?
What does he do?
And more than that, let’s get to the true heart of the argument, do you think the role of the VP should be expanded

She makes it up as she goes ! But seriously, in school did you ever know a smart ass ? Someone who is derisive and loud? Someone who sidesteps serious discussion and issues by just being so irreverent that it seems to be completely detract the seriousness of a subject and cut off all hope of intellectual seriousness in addressing a subject? How about an appeal to quasi-anti intellectuals? Have you known anybody who is good at switching subjects among 3 or 4 topics and expert in deceiving less than sharp witted people that the behavior is intelligent use of knowledge/tactics ? Sarah Palin has wide appeal amongst “D” students…. Scary !
