BIDEN'S 14 LIES

JOE BIDEN’S 14 LIES LAST NIGHT

1. TAX VOTE: Biden said McCain voted “the exact same way” as Obama to increase taxes on Americans earning just $42,000, but McCain DID NOT VOTE THAT WAY.

2. AHMEDINIJAD MEETING: Joe Biden lied when he said that Barack Obama never said that he would sit down unconditionally with Mahmoud Ahmedinijad of Iran. Barack Obama did say specifically, and Joe Biden attacked him for it.

3. OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING: Biden said, “Drill we must.” But Biden has opposed offshore drilling and even compared offshore drilling to “raping” the Outer Continental Shelf.”

4. TROOP FUNDING: Joe Biden lied when he indicated that John McCain and Barack Obama voted the same way against funding the troops in the field. John McCain opposed a bill that included a timeline, that the President of the United States had already said he would veto regardless of it’s passage.

5. OPPOSING CLEAN COAL: Biden says he’s always been for clean coal, but he just told a voter that he is against clean coal and any new coal plants in America and has a record of voting against clean coal and coal in the U.S. Senate.

6. ALERNATIVE ENERGY VOTES: According to FactCheck.org, Biden is exaggerating and overstating John McCain’s record voting for alternative energy when he says he voted against it 23 times.

7. HEALTH INSURANCE: Biden falsely said McCain will raise taxes on people's health insurance coverage -- they get a tax credit to offset any tax hike. Independent fact checkers have confirmed this attack is false

8. OIL TAXES: Biden falsely said Palin supported a windfall profits tax in Alaska -- she reformed the state tax and revenue system, it's not a windfall profits tax.

9. AFGHANISTAN / GEN. MCKIERNAN COMMENTS: Biden said that top military commander in Iraq said the principles of the surge could not be applied to Afghanistan, but the commander of NATO's International Security Assistance Force Gen. David D. McKiernan said that there were principles of the surge strategy, including working with tribes, that could be applied in Afghanistan.

10. REGULATION: Biden falsely said McCain weakened regulation -- he actually called for more regulation on Fannie and Freddie.

11. IRAQ: When Joe Biden lied when he said that John McCain was “dead wrong on Iraq”, because Joe Biden shared the same vote to authorize the war and differed on the surge strategy where they John McCain has been proven right.

12. TAX INCREASES: Biden said Americans earning less than $250,000 wouldn’t see higher taxes, but the Obama-Biden tax plan would raise taxes on individuals making $200,000 or more.

13. BAILOUT: Biden said the economic rescue legislation matches the four principles that Obama laid out, but in reality it doesn’t meet two of the four principles that Obama outlined on Sept. 19, which were that it include an emergency economic stimulus package, and that it be part of “part of a globally coordinated effort with our partners in the G-20.”

14. REAGAN TAX RATES: Biden is wrong in saying that under Obama, Americans won't pay any more in taxes then they did under Reagan.

VICE PRESIDENT DEBATE MODERATOR RELEASING PRO OBAMA BOOK

Nothing shocks me anymore. Absolutely nothing.

The moderator of Thursday's vice presidential debate between Democrat Sen. Joe Biden and GOP Gov. Sarah Palin is writing a book, to come out about the time the next president takes the oath of office, to "shed new light" on Democratic candidate Barack Obama and other "emerging young African American politicians" who are "forging a bold new path to political power."

Gwen Ifill, of the Public Broadcasting Service program called "Washington Week," is promoting "The Breakthrough," in which she argues the "Black political structure" of the civil rights movement is giving way to men and women who have benefited from those struggles over racial equality.

Ifill, who also works with PBS' "NewsHour," is making preparations to moderate this week's debate between the two candidates for vice president, and told BlackAmericaWeb.com that she thinks debates "are the best opportunity most voters have to see the candidates speaking to issues."

In an online video promoting her book, she is enthusiastic about "taking the story of Barack Obama and extending it."

It focuses on four people, "one of them Barack Obama of course," she said.

"They are changing our politics and changing our nation," she said.

On Amazon.com, Ifill is praised for her "incisive, detailed profiles of such prominent leaders as Newark Mayor Cory booker, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, and U.S. Congressman Artur Davis of Alabama."

"Ifill shows why this is a pivotal moment in American history," the review says.

Here's a video of the pro Obama moderator discussing her book:



Well, she seems clean and articulate. Heh. It's great I can say that sort of thing now. Thanks Joe Biden.

FAMILY OF FALLEN SOLDIER TOLD OBAMA NOT TO WEAR THE BRACELET HE SHOWED OFF DURING THE DEBATE

This is from an interview of six months ago. It says what it says. 10 bucks says the Obama "truth squad" gets to this family and makes them change their story.

Barack Obama played the "me too" game during the Friday debates on September 26 after Senator John McCain mentioned that he was wearing a bracelet with the name of Cpl. Matthew Stanley, a resident of New Hampshire and a soldier that lost his life in Iraq in 2006. Obama said that he too had a bracelet. After fumbling and straining to remember the name, he revealed that his had the name of Sergeant Ryan David Jopek of Merrill, Wisconsin.

Shockingly, however, Madison resident Brian Jopek, the father of Ryan Jopek, the young soldier who tragically lost his life to a roadside bomb in 2006, recently said on a Wisconsin Public Radio show that his family had asked Barack Obama to stop wearing the bracelet with his son's name on it. Yet Obama continues to do so despite the wishes of the family.

Radio host Glenn Moberg of the show "Route 51" asked Mr. Jopek, a man who believes in the efforts in Iraq and is not in favor of Obama's positions on the war, what he and his ex-wife think of Obama continually using their son's name on the campaign trail.

Jopek began by saying that his ex-wife was taken aback, even upset, that Obama has made the death of her son a campaign issue. Jopek says his wife gave Obama the bracelet because "she just wanted Mr. Obama to know Ryan's name." Jopek went on to say that "she wasn't looking to turn it into a big media event" and "just wanted it to be something between Barack Obama and herself." Apparently, they were all shocked it became such a big deal.

But, he also said that his ex-wife has refused further interviews on the matter and that she wanted Obama to stop wearing the reminder of her son's sacrifice that he keeps turning into a campaign soundbyte. This begins at about 10 minutes into the radio program. (Download radio show HERE)

TRANSCRIPT

Brian Jopek: Because of some of the negative feedback she's gotten on the Internet, you know Internet blogs, you know people accusing her of... or accusing Obama of trying to get votes doing it... and that sort of thing.

Radio Host Moberg: Yeah

Jopek: She has turned down any subsequent interviews with the media because she just didn't want it to get turned into something that it wasn't. She had told me in an email that she had asked, actually asked Mr. Obama to not wear the bracelet any more at any of his public appearances. Which I don't think he's...

Moberg: It has been a while since he's brought it up.

Jopek: Right. But, the other night I was watching the news and he was on, uh, speaking somewhere and he was still wearing it on his right wrist. I could see it on his right wrist. So, that's his own choice. I mean that's something Barack Obama, that's a choice that he continues to wear it despite Tracy asking him not to... Because she is a Barack Obama supporter and she didn't want to do anything to sabotage his campaign, so, if he's still wearing the bracelet then, uh, that of course is entirely up to him.

Moberg: Maybe there's a difference between wearing it and making a point to bring it up in your speeches?

Even the snow job that the radio host tried to pull off to cover for Barack's refusing the wishes of the family of the KIA soldier who's bracelet he wears doesn't pass the smell test. After all, now that Obama has made it a big point in the debates, I guess the silent observance of Sgt. Jopek is no longer so silent and Obama is back to exploiting the death of a soldier even when he was asked NOT to do so by that soldier's parents.

To pile insult onto injury here, the Mother doesn't even want to force the issue of telling Obama to stop exploiting her son because she wants to see him win the election. Obama is not only taking advantage of this brave soldier's death, he is taking advantage of the good wishes of the man's Mother who doesn't want to hurt the campaign.

And, why is the media not playing this story? The radio show on which this interview is heard happened all the way back in March. How is it the media missed this? Is it because they are also don't want to hurt Obama's campaign?

I can only say that if the parents of the soldier whose bracelet John McCain is wearing had said in public that they want him to stop wearing their son's bracelet the news would have been coast to coast, and wall to wall, not just ignored in Madison, Wisconsin.

Obama's use of this soldier that fell in the line of duty is tainted by his ambition and callousness. And the media is letting him get away with it.

Democrats are some sick sumbitches! This is another story the mainstream media is not going to touch. So email it to everyone you know!

MSNBC DEBATE POLL BUSTED: FOREIGNERS CAST 79.4% OF THE POLL VOTES

Frankly, with all the foreign votes that made up the MSNBC poll, I'm surprised their results were so close.

From Deaf Republicans:

MSNBC's results? Impressive responses, eh? Here comes the part that MSNBC missed about the validity of online poll votes. Using Alexa.org I can check out the traffic details for both DrudgeReport.com and MSNBC.com to see where readers are coming from who may have likely participated in these online poll votes.

Here's what they found:

The MSNBC poll results were as follows:



Contrast that poll with the make up of those who voted in the Drudge Report's poll:

ANOTHER OBAMA GAFFE THE MAINSTREAM PRESS WON'T TOUCH

Another gaffe you'll only read about on conservative blogs. Strange times we live in when 95% of the mainstream media spends all its time covering for a friggin' retard.

From the transcript of the first presidential debate:

Obama: There's no doubt it will affect our budgets. There is no doubt about it. Not only -- Even if we get all $700 billion back, let's assume the markets recover, we' holding assets long enough that eventually taxpayers get it back and that happened during the Great Depression when Roosevelt purchased a whole bunch of homes, over time, home values went back up and in fact government made a profit. If we're lucky and do it right, that could potentially happen but in the short term there's an outlay and we may not see that money for a while.

Obama is talking about the present bailout that will return a profit - only problem is that FDR never did such a thing. And don't even get me started on the "we' holding" ghetto speak.

DEBATE: QUESTION BY QUESTION

The debate begins...

QUESTION: Where do you stand on the bailout plan?

Obama: Fails to answer the question. Fails to mention any specifics of his plan. Instead gives Democrat talking points and blames Bush.

McCain: Gives a shout out to Teddy Kennedy. Talks about Bi-partisanship. Fails to answer the question.

On Follow up:

Obama: Still fails to answer the question. Claims he warned everyone it was going to happen. Blames Bush.

McCain: Says he'll vote for the plan. References Eisenhower and speaks to accountability being non-existent in Washington.

At this point, in my opinion, both of these guys, seem clueless on the financial crisis. Obama, never answered the question.

McCain: Hammers Obama on his nearly billion dollars in earmarks. Obama responds with the standby McCain wants to cut taxes for corporations and blames Bush.

Question: What do you intend to give up in your administration due to the lost revenue from the bailout costs?

Obama: Totally dodges question. Offers a bunch of platitudes about energy independence and education that had nothing to do with the question.

McCain: Do away with wasteful spending, cost plus contracts. Examine every agency of government and eliminate those that suck.

Follow up: Dude's, what are you going to do in a major way? What are you going to give up if you're President?

Obama: Again doesn't answer question, says we need energy independence, and then adopts McCain's answer regarding cutting spending as his own.

McCain: Proffers spending freeze.

Obama: Get out of Iraq.

McCain: Go with nuclear power.

Follow up: How is the financial crisis going to effect your presidency? Answer the damn question!

Obama: There's going to be less tax revenue, and I'm going to have make tough decisions. But doesn't say what they're going to be.

McCain: Cancel Obama's spending programs. Grow the economy, with lower taxes.

Obama: Blames Bush.

McCain: Speaks to his record of bi-partisanship. I'm a maverick.

Question: What are the lessons are Iraq?

McCain: You cannot have a failed strategy that will lead to defeat. Takes credit for the surge. We will come home with honor and victory. We now have an ally in the Middle East.

Obama: I opposed this war. Should have finished the job in Afghanistan. I was right and everyone else was wrong. Says Al Qaeda stronger now than ever. We should take Iraq's money. Use military wisely.

Follow Up: What about what Obama said McCain?

McCain: Hammers Obama for being wrong on the surge. Just hammers him.

Obama: The surge was nothing but a tactic to hide failure.

McCain: Obama refuses to acknowledge that we are winning on Iraq. Calls out Obama for voting to cut troop funding.

Question: Do we need more troops in Afghanistan?

Obama: Yes. As quickly as possible. Talks about poppy trade. Have to deal with Pakistan. Says we need to strike Pakistan.

McCain: We won't abandon Afghanistan as we did after Russia was forced out. I'm not going to threaten Pakistan. Says Obama is a fool for saying out loud that he will attack Pakistan.

Obama: We will take out Al Qeada in Pakistan if they don't. Willing to risk a war with Pakistan.

Question: What is your reading of the threat from Iran to the United States?

McCain: We cannot allow Iran to have nukes. Sanctions need to be stepped up. Make no doubt that Iran is a threat to the world.

Obama: Thinks Iran's Republican Guard is a terrorist organization. Iraq strengthened Iran. Israel is our ally. We need tougher sanctions.

McCain: Hammers Obama for wanting to talk to dictators without preconditions.

Obama: I would sit down with Iran's mullahs cause they have all the powers. I never meant preconditions, I meant we would have preparations before talks.

McCain: Calls Obama on lies about meeting without preconditions. Trust but verify.

Obama: Says he never said with preconditions without preparations. This is not true. We've reported on this before here at The Big Feed.

Question: How do see relationship with Russia?

Obama: Russian approach needs to be re-evaluated. Georgia actions unacceptable. Must adhere to ceasefire. Can't return to Cold War posture. Goes into no detail about the region.

McCain: Hammers Obama for saying both sides need to show restraint. Russia is nothing but a KGB state. Georgia conflict about energy. Obama didn't know that. He's naive. Russia has to understand the inclusion of Georgia and Ukraine is American policy. I've been to Georgia. Obama hasn't. We will work with Russia but they have to respect international values. Goes into great detail about the situation in the Caucuses.

Obama: Agrees with everything McCain said. Claims he warned administration about Russian peace keepers in Georgian territory. Must increase domestic energy independence. Says he has a plan. Doesn't say what it is.

McCain: Democrats have blocked off shore drilling for years.

Question: What is possibility of another 9-11 attack in the US.

McCain: Less likely. Human intelligence needs to be sharpened. Work closer with allies. Safer, but we have a long way to go. Increase border security.

Obama: Safer in some ways. Guard chemical sites and ports. Suitcase bombs a threat. Need missile defense. Have to be perceived in the world better. Credits McCain on torture issue.

McCain: We don't need a president getting on the job training in office.

Obama: My father was from Kenya, in the 60s he thought America was great, it's not so great anymore. Americans suck. I can make it great. (Asshole!).

END OF DEBATE

McCain showed superior command of the details on all issues. Details Obama seemed incapable of speaking to. McCain gets the importance of energy security, Obama seems to not think it's even an issue. Obama spent most of the night speaking in broad platitudes. McCain impressed me a great deal by calling Russia exactly what it is, a KGB apparatus. That was a real blockbuster regarding the most central foreign policy issue in play. No doubt he carried this debate. Made Obama look like the foreign policy neophyte he is.

McCain got under Obama's skin and got him flustered several times. Obama seemed to agree with McCain an awful lot (8 times officially). Obama looked like an idiot with all the smirking and huffing and puffing and interrupting of McCain.

UPDATE:

Here's the truth about what Obama said about meeting with Iranian president without preconditions. Obama lied several times. Read.

CAUSE WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH...

the tough roll up their sleeves and help with a solution...and the man who took more than a $100,000 from the primary culprits stays on the campaign trail...and blames other people

McCain suspends campaign to help solve financial crisis...Obama?...Well, he's spending his time trying to come up with an excuse as to why he took so much money from the institution that ruined America...Just as well...Does anyone really think he has any ideas that would help in this situation?

UPDATE: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid refuses help.

A Democrat tells ABC News that, in a phone call late this afternoon, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., that it would NOT be helpful for him to come back to Washington, D.C., to work on the Wall Street bailout bill.

McCain this afternoon suspended his campaign and said he would skip the first presidential debate in order to return to Capitol Hill to work on the log-jammed Bush administration legislation, which, as of Wednesday afternoon, was in peril.

McCain had phoned Reid to ask about the prospects of him, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and others to sit down and work together on hammering out a bipartisan proposal.

"Sorry," Reid said to him, a Democrat close to Reid says.

Reports are speaking of a joint statement to be issued by the candidates said to be forthcoming. Here's a crazy idea. How about a joint solution from the candidates? McCain has expressed his willingness. All I see from Obama is the desire to stay in front of his teleprompter.

Wait a second. I thought Obama already had plans in place? What gives?

UPDATE: Obama says he'll return to Washington if he can be "helpful". Does anyone hear anyone calling for Obama's help? Anyone? Crickets...

GREAT MOMENTS IN CONSERVATIVE HISTORY: WILIAM F. BUCKLEY VS. GORE VIDAL

William F. Buckley appeared in a series of televised debates with Gore Vidal during the 1968 Democratic Party convention. In their penultimate debate on August 28 of that year, the two disagreed over the actions of the Chicago police and the protesters at the ongoing Democratic Convention in Chicago. After Buckley responded to Vidal's argument by stating that Vidal's position was "so naive" and saying of the protesters "some people were pro-Nazi," Vidal called Buckley a "Crypto-Nazi", to which Buckley replied, "Now listen, you queer, stop calling me a crypto-Nazi or I will sock you in your goddamn face, and you will stay plastered."

DEMOCRAT GETS OWNED DURING COLORADO SENATE DEBATE

A scene from the recent Colorado senate debate. The man reading from the resolution is Republican Bob Schaffer, the man standing to his left and looking uncomfortable is Democrat Mark Udall.

CZECH PRESIDENT CALLS GLOBAL WARMING "CLIMATE ALARMISM"

This guy has been spot on for some time now...

Czech President Vaclav Klaus said Tuesday he is ready to debate Al Gore about global warming, as he presented the English version of his latest book that argues environmentalism poses a threat to basic human freedoms.

'I many times tried to talk to have a public exchange of views with him, and he's not too much willing to make such a conversation,' Klaus said. 'So I'm ready to do it.'

Klaus was speaking a the National Press Building in Washington to present his new book, Blue Planet in Green Shackles - What Is Endangered: Climate or Freedom?, before meeting with Vice President Dick Cheney Wednesday.

'My answer is it is our freedom and, I might add, and our prosperity,' he said.

Klaus, an economist, said he opposed the 'climate alarmism' perpetuated by environmentalism trying to impose their ideals, comparing it to the decades of communist rule he experienced growing up in Soviet-dominated Czechoslovakia.

'Like their (communist) predecessors, they will be certain that they have the right to sacrifice man and his freedom to make their idea reality,' he said.

'In the past, it was in the name of the Marxists or of the proletariat - this time, in the name of the planet,' he added.

Why won't Gore debate him? What's he afraid of?
