    Early on Biden say some about "now talk about a bridge to nowhere"

    not bad...
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    I don't know about it being a "zinger", but one thing Palin hit on the head was Biden constantley pointing to the current administration. He focused too much on the past and not enough on the future.

    When you're running on change, you have to point out what you're gonna change.

    I think the best zinger was from the moderator. After the first question she said to both Palin and biden, "None of you answered the question" zinnnng!

    And that was the last time Ifill made any reference to the fact that no one answered. I don't know if she was gun-shy because of the book "controversy", but I thought that she did a poor job between the softball questions and no follow-ups when they didn't answer.

    This was one of the best lines of the debate IMO...

    Palin: Now, you said regarding Sen. McCain's military policies there, Sen. Biden, that you supported a lot of these things. In fact, you said in fact that you wanted to run, you'd be honored to run with him on the ticket. That's an indication I think of some of the support that you had at least until you became the VP pick here.

    ...what were your favorite lines?


    Your quote of Palin's is proof enough that she is a complete moron. Let me fix it so she sounds like she has a grasp of the English language.

    Now, you said regarding Sen. McCain's military policies Sen. Biden, that you supported him a lot. In fact you said that you'd be honored to run with him on a ticket. I think that's an indication of your support before you became a VP candidate.

    paraphrasing GOV Palin, I respected you SEN Biden when you said that SEN Obama was not ready to be Commander-in-Chief

    on the constitution and the founding fathers and what the VP does.

    He's a constitutional scholar. She shouldn't have gone there with him.

    Well, it points out that the Democratic nominee for VP thought so much of the Republican nominee for President that he said he would consider him for his running mate.

    Personally, I did not know that.... and I'm betting a large amount of people watching did not as well. Therefore, I thought it was a good line. It was timed well and made a good point.

    McCain has changed. He used to be thoughtful, logical, and respected. He has trashed his own image during the campaign because he realized that he can't appeal to the idiots who vote for Bush by being thoughtful. Look at 2000 McCain vs. 2008 McCain. Totally different. Thats why the conservative base was so afraid when it looked like he was going to get the nomination. Now they don't mind him because he has shifted to the dark side rather than being a liason between the two.

    Plus, Biden says all sorts of crap. It is just who he is, people don't mind because he knows what he is talking about so it is easy to laugh it off. Palin has been saying crap but people know that she has no freaking clue about what she is talking about so it is scary not funny at all.

    Yeah he knows a lot. Tv in 1929, being shot at in Afghanistan when it was weather that brought him down. Even saying his wife died from a driver under the influence was a lie. She did die but it was a horrible accident.

    The difference at least to me, is that it's clear Biden knows what he is talking about, but Palin really doesn't have a clue. She is being so pumped full of talking points and ideology in such a short time, it's almost puppet like,

    Most of Biden's gaffs are in anecdotal stories, where he is exaggerating to make a point. While yes, he needs to be more disciplined, but his exaggerations are basically harmless (unlike our current vice president).

    What are you talking about? Biden? I was talking about how McCain has changed and why people from both sides of the asile liked him. Thus that is why Biden said he would be McCain's running mate at one point. He would have with the old McCain. Not the new McCain.

    I thought it was best said by Biden when he spoke of Cheney being the worst VP ever was the best comment and the most honest one. Scary that Palin wants more powers to the VP position and with those powers "to do what exactly?"

    Peace

    Cheney the most dangerous VP in all history? Gimme a break.

    Aaron Burr actually shot a guy.

    Biden really is almost pathological. He lies, even when he doesn't need to.

    I mean, if the other driver is drunk, does it make his wife's death MORE tragic? Seems tragic enough without embellishing the details and smearing a poor guy whose life is already ruined from killing a lady.

    I guess it doesn't matter if your VP lies about things in his personal life ... but stuff like this (and this isn't even the only example) makes me wonder if he's just unstable.

    murderer, check. Liar, check. Thief, check. War Profiteer, check. Puppet Master, check. Yep, seems pretty dangerous. I'm sure Gore's theory of Climate Change is more threatening to you.

    Yes. if you are killed in a car crash, it's an accident. If you are killed in a car crash by a drunk driver, it's 1st degree murder.

    AMY GOODMAN: Talk about the internal struggle within the Bush administration that almost ended Bush’s presidency.


    BARTON GELLMAN: It starts just a few days after 9/11, in one sense, because it turns out the Vice President is truly the father of the warrantless domestic surveillance program. He called in Mike Hayden, who was the head of the National Security Agency, and he said, “Tell me what you’re not doing against al-Qaeda that you could be doing.”


    And Hayden has this sort of famous, or famous in Washington, briefing device. He draws a Venn diagram with three overlapping ovals: one of them is what they would love to be able to do, one is what they’re technically capable of doing, and one is what’s legal. And what he says is, you know, “Where we work is right in the space where those three ovals intersect.”


    And Cheney tells him, “Suppose that third oval wasn’t there. Suppose you were not constrained by the law.” And he is not saying, “Let’s break the law.” He’s saying, “Let’s suppose there were no legal restriction. Then what would you do?” And he does not go in the direction of asking for a change in the law. He presses the interpretation that, as commander-in-chief in wartime and because intelligence gathering is inherent in war, Bush doesn’t have to follow the explicit prohibitions in two felony statutes on warrantless surveillance, that Bush, as commander-in-chief, can simply override those and override them secretly.


    And so, fast-forward now something around a little over two years later. December of 2003, the Justice Department starts to become very doubtful that parts of this program are legal. There’s a new guy heading the Office of Legal Counsel, which is sort of like the internal Supreme Court of the executive branch. And he says, “I just can’t back this thing.” And it needs to be certified as legal by the Justice Department every forty-five days. So it’s—there’s a deadline coming up in March of ’04, March 11th. And for three months, Dick Cheney and David Addington are trying to squelch a legal insurgency at Justice, where they’re saying, with increasing intensity, “We can’t go along with this.”




    No problem just please take the time and watch this video stream about Dick Cheney and how he almost did to his President George W. Bush.

    Click on the link Who Has Been THE Scariest Vice President? then click on the video stream, go to the 13:50 mark which ties in the quote I posted above.

    Watch it to the end and you MAY get an idea how terrible of a VP this man has been. That's the break I can give you, hollar back after you've watched it.

    terrible source, but after further investigation, yes I am mistaken

    that said, why is it okay for Palin to speak of family loss but criticize Biden for doing the same?

    It can be understood a bit more why she seeks executive power for the VP position.
