Vice Presidential Debate- Palin vs. Biden: The Thread

reply to post by Bunch


well, I am a firm believer that one is innocent until proven guilty.

But I am sure some people will see otherwise.


Good point.

Okay I was apparently paying attention the ATS posts and not to the debate. Biden brought up losing a wife and child in a horrid accident? Seriously?

Who with a soul would bring up something so intimate during a political debate? Something of that nature is PERSONAL and no one that felt it deeply and had an ounce of common sense would EVER choose to bring it up in such a forum.

Apparently I was busy reading posts and I missed what had to be one of the most offensive plays during this entire election.

Am I confused or did Biden mention the death of his wife and child during this debate?

How much more expanding of the VP's power would Sarah want? Cheney is the master of power expansion and fortune making and she will have a hard time beating him on assumption of power. She probably has no clue at this point but wants her comment as a placeholder for possible future considerations.

OFF TOPIC,

I just had a thread about Palin and her lack of knowledge on the issues closed today by the mods.

Just so ya know!

First of all, I am a moderate independant. I would agree with you about MSNBC, but not about CNN. This is the only network I can watch without throwing up a little in my mouth when it comes to politics. Apparently you have never seen Lou Dobbs tear both parties a new one.

This ticket that the Republicans have put forth is only marginally better than the Bush/Cheney ticket of the last two elections, and Palin hurts this ticket. She dodged way too many questions tonight, and I didn't notice Biden dodge any. The Republicans haven't had a decent ticket since Reagan/Bush and McCain is no Ronald Reagan!

biden was responding to the notion that he doesnt know what its like to be a single parent worrying about their kids health

Last time...

On topic, no polls unless they are scientific (meaning if you can click on a candidate and vote on it, it isn't).

If the quality of discussion doesn't improve, the thread will be closed.

Did he say more than "I know what it is like, I have personal knowledge of that situation"? Or did he actually mention his wife and child died in an accident?
