Comments on: McCain Campaign Lists Joe Biden’s 14 Lies http://getdrunkandhope4thebest.com/archive/mccain-camp-lists-joe-bidens-14-lies Sat, 21 Feb 2009 20:30:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9-RC1 hourly 1 By: Latinos4JohnnyMac http://getdrunkandhope4thebest.com/archive/mccain-camp-lists-joe-bidens-14-lies#comment-1720 Latinos4JohnnyMac Sat, 04 Oct 2008 06:29:41 +0000 http://getdrunkandvote4mccain.com/archive/mccain-camp-lists-joe-bidens-14-lies#comment-1720 I saw another link that had the gaffes listed at 22. The worst of all time, though, had to be the ones on foreign policy. He twisted himself in knots on Pakistan. On Lebanon, he entered the world of Dada nihilism, claiming that Barack Obama drove the Hezbollah out of Lebanon hand in hand with France!?!?!?!? And then somehow Bush didn't listen to Obama, so the Hezbollah became a party. Okay, there are so many problems with these claims, I can't even begin. I know more about Lebanon just from reading Google News and watching CNN for 35 minutes a day on the stairmaster during the summer of 2006 when that war happened. It was so painful to watch (Biden, not the war). Oh wait, and then Biden said that Obama warned Bush not to hold elections in the Palestinian territories, and Hamas winning proved Obama right? Where the Hell did he get this from? Why would Bush listen to an Illinois state senator at that point? I am sure this warning never happened. And why is Obama now acting like a get-tough, Zionist Palestinian-crusher? I thought Obama was a citizen of the world and didn't want any walls, as he said in Berlin (except the wall between the US and Mexico which he voted for but won't mention when speaking before Latino audiences.) And wait -- about Iran. That was awful too. First off he lied about what Obama said. And then he and Obama keep pointing out that Ahmadinejad is not the most powerful man in Iran. So does that mean they WILL meet with Ahmadinejad, on the grounds that the meeting wouldn't count? If so, how is Obama the man of diplomacy? The foreign policy stuff went on and on with these splendiferous contradictions cloaked as "nuance" (another word like "narrative" that must be expunged from the English language after this election). None of Biden's lines made sense. And yet the Huffington Post and the New York Times rave about Biden's international acumen (even faker than his working class ties to restaurants like "Katie's" that apparently haven't existed since over a decade before Bush became President, making it strange that Biden claims he talked to Katie's patrons about Bush's economic policies.) So the big question -- why are all the polls showing that Biden won? I thought he was painful to watch. I saw another link that had the gaffes listed at 22.

Their longest range missile, the Shaheen II (named after New Hampshire's former governor?), can fly about 1,200 miles, with minimal accuracy at that range. so, I used Karachi and Tel Aviv for my distance example, and geobytes said the "crow (missile) flies distance was 2,016 miles. So is this a misstatement, or another example that Democrats can't do math? Next, we expect a lawyer to know something about the US Constitution. While you could confuse Articles I and II, most high school student can manage to explain the difference. My personal favorite:

Roosevelt went on TV to talk to the American people. I'll give him a pass on TV in 1929 since those born in 1942 wouldn't be likely to remember a time when there wasn't TV, but surely a Democrat would know FDR was sworn in as PUS for the first time in 1933.
