[spidey07]

Bah.....thanks to you guys all I'm hearing is talking points on both sides. But I guess the platforms are what they are.

I don't think she got the point of the "Vice President is/is not part of the Executive Branch" question.

She avoids most direct answers.

Biden now referencing Darth Cheney, and quoting Constitution.

That was great; slammed Cheney out of the gate. Scored big points there Joe! :thumbsup:

Though the interesting thing is that I firmly believe if Cheney were debating Biden he would kick the shit out of him, and quite handily.

 

[newb111]

Executive experience as a mayor of 8,000

 

[dbk]

She just answered this question with her answer from the last one...

 

[Baked]

My state makes a lot of energy! Yay!

 

[Perknose]

NO, you stupid, clueless bitch, she asked you what your ACHILLES HEEL really was.

 

[GroundedSailor]

Good thrust into Cheney by Biden. Worst VP!! Yes.

 

[Robor]

Ah, she's trying to identify with joe sixpack again. You're still a friggin' liar!!!!!!!

 

[alm4rr]

she has a world view!!

 

[CanOWorms]

Did I hear the question right? Did the moderator ask what her weakness was and she answered with a strength? WTF

The way she looks down when she talks - is she reading from a blackberry?

According to participants in the Alaska governor debates, she uses color-coded flash cards behind the podium.

 

[Capt Caveman]

I'm dumber after watching this.

 

[Willy Duet]

Doesn't she realize a state of 600,000 is different from a county of 300 million

 

[TraumaRN]

Answer the question about your fraking lack of experience...jesus...

A force for good in this world. That's because John McCain knows what evil is, you know.

 

[nageov3t]

LoL Bozniacs?

I thought misheard him. wtf are Bosniacs? lol

Ummm... Muslim people from Bosnia. Are you stupid/simple?

Edited for clarity

I know what Bosnia is, I just found it strange that someone who is the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee would refer to Bosnians as "Bosniacs."

Apparently Bosniaks werks ...

Yeah, apparently. You know, I was a sentient, politically aware adult throughout all the years of the Bosnian crisis, and I NEVER heard ONE talking head or newscaster or politico from any country use that term . . . not once.

Sometimes we Amurikans ain't as smart as we think we be 😀

 

[Ninepepper]

think she practiced that one a bit?

Its like the old interview trick, you never truthfully answer that question, instead you lay on some bullshit like "my weakness is that I am too much of a perfectionist" or some other crap like that

 

[sdifox]

Quick, someone hack into blackberry server!

 

[The Boston Dangler]

almost some modesty from joe. he spoiled it with "others would say it's my excessive passion"
