Politico ^ | October 13, 2008 | Andy Barr

Posted on 10/14/2008 4:04:25 AM PDT by Bluebird Singing

Sen. Joe Biden said Monday that the tenor of the presidential campaign has gone “over the edge” and that if John McCain continues to push some lines of attack against Barack Obama he may regret it “for the rest of his life.”

I think he may rue not going after Nobama with everything he’s got. This is a war for the future of America.

Joe Biden plays the PC race card on McCain.

I’m not so certain that BO was ever truly teflon coated. But even if he was, this will remove it:

If there is any teflon, this will remove it:

[ Moderate ‘New Tone’ could land Republicans in JAIL! ]

Obama would ask his AG to “immediately review” potential of crimes in Bush White House

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2104867/posts

Not only will that spread fear among republican leaders, it’s going to piss them off. BO blew it with such an announcement.

Was it Biden who remarked that Obama was “clean and articulate”?

Why was that not considered racist?

President and Congress democrat. In the Senate elections, the democratic (+ very liberal Rinos) majority may became 61 in the 100-seat body. Is there a worst nightmare?

If there’s anything mclame may regret, it will be that he ran a worse campaign than Bob Dole.

I wonder what the reaction of former President Bush will be if they try to investigate him and his administration, or even put them on trial. I fear he will say something like I am disappointed in this, or I will cooperate with this investigation. In reality I hope he will tell them to go to hell, or come out swinging. He’d have nothing to lose. If he did acquiesce, as he sometimes did as president, I would not be too surprised, sad to say.

If Joe Biden was a true American, he would be asking Obama a lot of questions himself.

I have lost any respect I ever had for him.

" ... The , Democratic senator added that if McCain attacks Obama’s associations with 1960’s radical William Ayers or Rev. Jeremiah Wright during Wednesday’s debate he “will regret for the rest of his life having an incredible career getting cast aside.” ..."


The plagiarizing, empty suit Biden speaks of an incredible career getting tossed aside?

That barf bag may well see this country set way back in only a short four years of an 0bama presidency.

By that time the majority of Americans will see many of them as the enemy Marxists Democrat operatives they really are.


As there won't be a Bush in sight to be bashed, there may be a price for old Joe & his lackeys to pay.

Hillary said the same things during the primary and Biden was on stage with her yesterday. Of course, if you wound up having to spend time with Biden that actually might be a day to ‘rue’.

How ironic it is that in this election, the first black President is forever branded as a racist.

Unless McCain calls out Obama on his Black Liberation Theology beliefs, McCain will be branded as a racist for the rest of his life too.

Joe hurt himself when he sidled up with 0bama.

The only reason Obama is even a candidate much less a finalist is because he gets a pass based on his race.

With his record, a white democrat would have been tossed in the primarys, a republican would have never even run with a record like Obama’s

Bush played the Clinton scandals ‘close to be vest’ and let them fade. This is the thanks he gets. While he’s president, Bush has a chance to reconsider his ‘new tone’. The same goes for all of his staffers, all of his interns, and the staffers / interns in GOP congress seats. Same goes for supporters of McCain who prefer an easygoing campaign.

I think this OR ELSE THREAT is laughable. Obama’s surrogates are running around saying “dont talk about Obama’s racist spiritual mentor for 20 years, dont expose Obama’s racist Black Liberation Theology beliefs, OR ELSE!”.

Or else what? Or else McCain exposes Obama as a fraud, hypocrite and racist and then wins the election?

It is simple. Expose Obama’s racist Black Liberation Theology beliefs and win the election. McCain has been given the opening by Biden and Lewis. End game.

Bush is arrogantly stubborn. He does not listen and he does not learn. With the Demonrats working to pack any bailout bill with billions for ACORN, he invited 0bama as well as McCain to confer on a solution to the financial crisis, which 0bama had a big role in creating. He let his own staffer Scooter Libby be crushed, he let the 2 Border Agents be destroyed, he sat by while Sandy Burglar got a slap on the wrist for a crime without precedent in U.S. history. He will never learn, and he’s an unpopular lame duck at this point anyway.

“The next day, a man and a woman in suits showed up at the door of her home, identifying themselves as members of the Secret Service.”

I had pinged people to that recently. It’s an outrage. Glad to see it’s still circulating. Darn straight. It might as well be Alinski himself running.

Excuse me but why is asking questions about someone an attack? I have never understood this. If you point something out about a person, like asking about their associations with people, it automatically becomes an “attack” according to the msm. Of course that’s only if the person doing the asking is a conservative or a Republican.
If BHO should win and our economy gets worse and worse like with Jimmy Carter, the press is going to have to pay for their lies and deceit to the American people so their “guy” could get elected!

I am tired of hearing this BS

If the MSM was not as blatantly in the tank for Obama this election would be a complete rout

It is worse than I have ever seen it and I am 72

The left wing is scared too death

WE are on the cusp

McCain wins the MSM is finished as a force

McCain loses Pravda(MSM) wins and conservative talk radio and the internet are GONE

We are a nation on the verge

Mumbles Biden.

Hey, Joe - wanna buy a TeeVee from 1929?

It plays a continuous loop of "President" Franklin Roosevelt standing up to address the nation right after the twin national disasters - the October 1929 stock market crash and the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor...

I was thinking the other day that if McCain loses, he’ll go back to the Senate and this will be his statement:

BO is a good and decent man and I will help rally all of the other Senators and help him in every way possible. We’ll work across the aisle for the American people every step of the way. The American people have spoken and we’ve heard them.

I hardly think so. In fact, he should continue to go after Obama. Especially with Ayers. Thanks to the MSM, people don’t know all of the facts about Ayers. He wasn’t just some 60s anti-war protester. I heard this on Bill Bennett’s radio show this morning:

Ayers plotted to set bombs at Fort Dix where young soldiers were attending a dance with their “civilian” girlfriends from New Jersey and the only reason they weren’t blown to pieces is because the bomb went off prematurely.

All of Obama’s relationships while he was climbing the ranks in Chicago were radicals. What a track record. People are really stupid. McCain should go for broke, put it all out there and let the chips fall where they may.

I read it last night and could hardly sleep. There was a guy on Youtube - don’t remember his name, watched at someone else’s house because we are on dial-up - but he was from a Communist country and was talking about the tactics they (the Commies) used when they got into power. They KNEW who the opposition was, it was all documented by their agents who lived in the community. So, all they had to do was go get the people and shoot them. Round up all the guns because they were registered and they knew where they were.

Then I read about thug tactics like this - it might have been Secret Service agents or might not, we will never know. I already know that government agents can be real jerks. I already know that when you try to buy a gun your name and address goes into a database kept by the government - that they “say” is not used for anything other than a background check. I already know that Obama is good buddies with his cousin Odinga who did all kinds of rioting in Kenya when he didn’t win an election.

This is scary stuff.

Where is the Republican surrogate with the onions to respond by asking how Biden doesn't regret ruining an innocent truck driver's life with the lie that he drank his lunch before the accident that killed Biden's first wife?

Here’s a tip for you all -

any fed agent, and LEO outside of your county jurisdiction,

MUST have the local sheriff present with them before they may lawfully enter your home (unless you give permission).

REQUIRE IT.
