Why Biden Was Picked
8/24/08 | zeebee

We all know Biden is a joke as a VP selection. But there must be a reason he was selected. Here's my take on it. Hold on to your tin-foil hats for just a little longer:

Al-quaida is very much into symbolism. They picked September 11 to symbolize 9-1-1, the national emergency phone number.

The symbolism of an Obama-Biden ticket being so close in spelling to o-b-l would have Al-quaida fans jumping in the streets should bho win this election. They are probably already convinced that o-b-l is running for POTUS in spirit.

There are some moles in the Obama camp that are snickering wickedly.

Biden was picked because everyone else under consideration knew Obama is a lost cause and they refused the job Exactly! That was obvious last week when it took so long to decide.

Relatively young, up-and-comers like Bayh or Tim Kaine were not about to throw away promising political careers to go down to defeat with Obama.

Threads such as this should be saved as an example of why vanities are generally to be discouraged at FR.

Some folks just don’t understand sarcasm without the tag.

Don't over look the Kennedys.

Joe calls Uncle Ted says he wants the VP.

Uncle Ted calls sweet Caroline and says "Joe is it."

Sweet Caroline tells Milsap "Joe is it."

Voila you have the Obama/Biden ticket.

Not true. As one possible example, having Sarah Palin as VP can truly succeed in making any attacks upon her look very bad for the Democrats. This would be a missed opportunity for a major overall boost for McCain, if he does decide to not pick Sarah Palin as his VP, IMHO. The VP debate would certainly be interesting with her in it. I still see McCain picking a non-conservative as his VP and upsetting the majority of conservatives by doing so.

Biden was picked - in part - to get to the 69,000,000 Catholics in America. Bad choice bambi.

Is this satire? If it is, it just isn't any good, sorry.

If it isn't, please attempt to let us know how this idea of yours makes any sense at all...JFK

Oh! you are badly misjudging Biden. He has no scruples when it comes to mean and dirty attacks.

"Biden was picked to be the attack dog."

Exactly. He needed a replacement for his wife Michelle, who his campaign has muzzled except for the scripts they give her. They jumped out of the frying pan into the fire, though. Biden's mouth is going to be just as big a problem as Michelle's was but they won't be able to muzzle him. LOL

In the comment section of this February 2008 thread: Obama Mama vs. Big Daddy 'Cain, someone named "Lisa" nails it:

"Notice how Omama's wife, Michelle, really wears the pants in that family. She is going to be the one that sinks him in the end. He always says nothing charmingly, she on the other hand, lays it all out in black and white saying everything we need to know about those people. If he were smart, he would duct tape her mouth shut until the election is over. ..." ~ Lisa 2/20/2008 09:03:00 AM

More like pandaering to the Archie Bunker Democrats.

Catholics are p*ssed off that their gal Hildabeast lost the nomination. Joe Biden is a Catholic in name ONLY. That is, he's an abortion facilitator too.

Thousands of Catholics... Obamassiah hoping for appeasement.

But the maggot may have made a mistake: Leaked that Hildabeast wasn't vetted... Drudge called the episode d.i.s.s.e.d.

So, we'll just have to stand by to see if the psuedo Catholics who believe in abortion and vote Democrat vote for this ticket.

Did I fail to mention that most Catholics especially the Irish are famous racists...

Here in TX, Chet Edwards is saying he wasn’t chosen because of his name.

What the hell do you mean? The Catholic church opposes abortion and the death penalty. Hitlery favors both I believe.

Biden was picked because he’s the chair of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.

He’s an attack dog.

In that sense, he’s good for Obama. Biden can attack McCain directly on foreign policy gaffes and get under his skin.

In a different sense, it prevents McCain from picking several people for Vice President. McCain will have to pick someone with heavy experience on policy issues, and that counts out many of the “attractive” choices.

This was a terrible choice for the dims. No one voting for this ticket wouldn’t also have voted for obamahitlery.
Many would have supported him and increased his buzz if he had picked her.

And exactly how would this truly help Obama win on November 4? Negative attacks often turn off voters, especially too many negative attacks. Also, Joe Biden truly doesn’t equal “change in Washington D.C.” among a finite number of other problems with Joe Biden!

If he were smart, he would duct tape her (Michelle Obama's) mouth shut until the election is over....

If WE are lucky, he will NOT tape her mouth shut.
