I know Rush was sure pulling for him. Get the Popcorn!
Did he ask how you like your Communism served?
I know that Monday, there will be stories all over the “media” how Obama made a “courageous and gutsy move” by selecting the most arrogant and obnoxious buffoon on Capitol Hill to be his “partner” for the rest of the campaign.
Most Republicans think he made the right choice—particularly McCain!
Water always seeks its own level.
You have to admire his gumption in stepping right out in front of a McCain freight train like that.
By the way, how do you feel about kites and monofilament fishing line?
Sorry, Hillary and company.
I wanted to see Kerry loose again.
I hadn't realized he was locked away in chains.
Well now, isn't this an interesting factoid.
I will have plenty of coke and popcorn on convention night!
The PUMA group hates Obama.
They worship Hillary!! PUMA= Party Unity My A**
Women will like Sarah Palin - McCain’s natural pick.
Wait just until men find out about the man hating VAWA bill he authored. He’s screwed.
Yep.
Most people on the right are pretty happy with this.
Biden just will not help Obama at all.
And looks like it might even hurt him if this poll is right.
Biden is what Obama says he is against.
“Biden is what Obama says he is against.”
No kidding!!!
Just imagine a time framed image collage with Biden next to all the looser democRATS since 1972.
Tip O’neil, Carter, Kennedy, Jim Wright, etc. barf barf.
Biden is the poster boy (grandpa) for democRAT continuity.
He has alway been there, always involved in every tax increase, oil/gas restricting, abortion supporting bill since 1972.
Biden is the poster geezer that screamed for term limits.
Please, someone put that old steer out to pasture.....
You don't disappoint Mrs. Heinz-Kerry and walk around free, you know!
I am baffled by this choice. Biden’s a pro-abort Catholic and (although the MSM won’t mention this) is known around Washington as a very vile, little man. Either o>bama’s really stupid or he has a lot of money bet on his side losing.
