As soon as biden mentioned "vice president cheney has been the most dangerous vice president in american history", his focus group numbers hit the max. my roomie and i cracked up.
He was obviously controlling his rage.Noruas wrote:Did you see Joe Biden's facial expressions, they were hilarious on their own level. He did creepy breathing into the mics while Sarah Palin was talking too.
Supposedly the last question/topic was really damn good, from a person who hadn't voted in awhile due to being disenchanted with canadian politics.Pxtl wrote:Yeah, I only watched the first few questions. Elizabeth May made an impressive showing, talking issues and discussing platform rather than just attacking. Harper has a creepy smirking stare.
Wait, you mean the American VP debates? Nm.
Claim: Joe Biden said that the US "commanding general in Afghanistan said the surge principle in Iraq will not work in Afghanistan". Sarah Palin responded by saying that "McClellan did not say definitively the surge principles would not work in Afghanistan".
Fact: On 2 October, the Washington Post quoted the head of the Nato-led coalition in Afghanistan, Gen David McKiernan, as saying: "The word I don't use for Afghanistan is 'surge'."
Verdict: Mrs Palin not only got the name of the US commander in Afghanistan wrong, but it would seem she also distorted his position.
Mrs Palin lies q.qClaim: Sarah Palin said that Joe Biden "had supported John McCain's military strategies [in Iraq] pretty adamantly until this race".
Fact: Jonathan Weisman of the Washington Post characterises Mr Biden as "an outspoken opponent of... troop increases in Iraq as soon as Bush announced them after the 2006 elections". As Foreign Relations Committee Chairman, he led the most heated hearings before the troops were actually deployed.
Verdict: Mrs Palin's claim is untrue. Mr Biden opposed the surge - of which Mr McCain was a prominent proponent - long before the beginning of the presidential campaign, and maintained this position throughout the race.
Fuggin Harper. He's the creepiest prime minister we've ever had, and that's saying alot compared to ole' deadface.Pxtl wrote:Yeah, I only watched the first few questions.

At least all 3 secondary parties need to gang up to defeat/create legislation now. Before the liberals and the bloq could do it alone. And frankly, the bloq should never be involved with anything ever resembling power. My enn dee pees did well, so I'm happy.Peet wrote:grumble grumble another 'tory minority
