THe “greedy homelenders” was a mine set up for Palin. Any positive thing she could say about the Republicans voting against the bill would be turned into “anti-American worker” comments.
This is the “fair” moderator people like Ozzie wants for issues of complexity.
Joe was hitting hard on McCain’s “de-regulation” record. Given that Democrats always go on the side of bad de-regulation and bad regulation, it’s something that can easily be pinned on Republicans given the focus on de-regulating all of the Dem’s bad regulations and regulating all of the Dem’s bad Fannie Mae de-regulations.
Gwen ambushed Palin when she was getting started on putting out McCain’s “good” regulations track record. Palin responded by waiting for Gwen to mention the health topic, which when Palin responded to in detail, almost demanded that Gwen interrupt after one of her own questions.
That’s some complex maneuvering.
Well, good thing is that after this debate, Obama can no longer just pull Clinton out. He is in too deep.
When Sarah mentioned her one on one negotiations with BP, that hurt. THat really hurt. I had to stop the video for a few seconds, and not just to write this.
The thing about the Democrats is that even if they wanted to fix things, they couldn’t: not when they perception of the problem is so deceptive, wrong, and malicious. Dems believing in stealing money from those that earned it and giving it to those that didn’t earn it. How this will actually, on a philosophical bass, make more money, is left for Dem propaganda to fill in. The Dems believe that if you take the money from oil businesses, that new refineries and pollution controls will automatically go UP, because obviously the Oil Companies of America Don’t Need Profits to Invest In Such Things, now do they?
It’s hard for honest, not good, politics to reign supreme given the amount of lying that goes around in even VP debates. But that’s how DC has become. And short of my solution to hang the offenders, you are left with non-revolutionary reform such as what Sarah proposes to conduct. But mark my words, if people think such boondocks and vampirism will continue forever, they are seriously wrong. Eventually some revolutionary cadre will spring up, and even if they fail to topple the government due to chaotic financial and security issues, things are going to spiral into worse and worse.
This is the historical trend. Corrupt Senators in Rome living it big turned into targets for totalitarian Emperors. And then they turned into targets for the barbarians once the Emperors of Rome got weak and bankrupt.
When Sarah got cut off the moderator said “out of time or you are out of time”. For Biden, she said “pardon me”.
Yeah, the fix is in. Of course, the amount of external resistance you encounter is one factor to your success or failure but not the only one. Perhaps not only the most important factor in the end.
It’s interesting that Biden has son going to or already in Iraq. Think that was an Obama decision to armor himself with?
