Team McCain Responds to Biden

Team McCain Responds to Biden [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

Ben Porritt, McCain Spokesman:

Joe Biden is right: We need more than a good soldier, we need a leader with the experience and judgment to serve as commander in chief from day one. That leader is John McCain. We need a leader who understands that you don’t vote against funding for troops in harms way. We need a leader who supports victory in Iraq, and doesn’t try to legislate failure. We need a leader who understands that when a democracy is invaded, the response is to stand by their side, not call on them to show restraint. On all these issues during this campaign Americans have seen with their own eyes what Joe Biden has repeatedly made clear – Barack Obama does not have the judgment or experience to be President of the United States.

At least they are on the ball with a response, and a true one at that!

For being such a military expert - Biden does not know the difference between a soldier and a sailor.

John McCain is a Sailor (Navy), not a Soldier (Army).

I'd also play on the fact the Biden himself said that OBama did not have the experience and that he (Biden) would be proud to serve with Mccain on a ticket just a few months ago. mcCain's positions have not changed since then, and yet now Biden says McCain lacks judgement.

It is clear that Biden himself is a pure political hack in this and will just say whatever he has to to try and get elected.

It's Biden's judgement that is also suspect now by his own words.

The McCain List.

Team McCain came out with this effective release within moments of the conclusion of Joe Biden's hamhanded speech.

Good to hear the McCain people being ready to respond quickly. The lies were flowing so freely from the convention tonight I could hardly keep track. Among other things, one that galls me so much is this “100,000 cops” thanks to the crime bill nonsense. That is one thing where the facts can easily be checked to show 100K were never hired.

Then Clinton talks about how successful his presidency was. Un huh. Made us so safe that we ignored bin laden and his ilk for 8 years until we suffered a horrendous attack. I would stand up and cheer if McCain mentioned these things in his speech next week. But then, if he and his running mate were to go after the Dems point by point on every single issue, their speeches would last all night.

If I can repeat from another post.....

Stop please with funny comeback videos...it worked for awhile, but now we need to get serious.........

They put out some strong accusations without substance or merit.....McCain needs to come out strong and hard

Biden said a lot about family and their sayings...He forgot this one...YOU ARE KNOWN BY THE COMPANY YOU KEEP...
can we go through and mention Obamas mentors of the past?

Obama is a player, Jesse Jackson knew what he was saying was true, a con knows a con.. but it bothers bro.Jesse because its not just the white people Obama is taking for a ride it is also the black......

Obama is dangerous...and his wife too. Boy is she an actress.

Voice? (I know:-)))))))))

Seriously, though, he’s looking incredibly great lately, younger, energized, all that and more. Especially since Saddleback, where he kicked BHO’s butt - don’t know if you saw him on Leno monday night, but WOW. And finally, it appears his staff really IS competent, more so than we’d thought.

I think this dog CAN hunt.

“John McCain is a Sailor (Navy), not a Soldier (Army).”

The Dems never want to be confused or distracted by the facts.

Not only were many never hired but many of those that were had to be laid off when the funding ran out in 3 years...

Rapid response - short, sweet and to the point. Good going!

Its about bloody time Republicans found their jewels. George Bush’s politeness is all well and good, but some times you really do need to hit back.

I can see where Jesse doesn't like Obambi taking black people for a ride - that's been his private domain for quite some time.

Has Joe ever been anything other than a Back Bencher for 35 yrs? Guess that qualifies you for the official Funeral Attendie?
