Bizeebutt Posted October 3, 2008 #26 Share Posted October 3, 2008 OMG. the NUCULAR thing is driving me NUTS!!! How is it that these supposedly "intelligent" people trying to run our country cannot say that ONE SIMPLE WORD??? I noticed Biden purposely pronounced it "New-Cle-Ar" not only correctly, but SLOWLY as if emphasizing the stupidity of his oponant. ROFL Des she have a prompter in her podoium? She keeps looking down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vampwitchenstein Posted October 3, 2008 #27 Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) I know I didn't think conservatism could be beautiful until Palin. LOL. Absolutely nothing personal, but this statement and ALL those like it... I am so damned sick of them. She's JUST a Woman. I acknowledge beautiful Women when I see them (let's not get into my sexuality unless you really want to) and Palin looks as crappy as the most of us her age do in the morning without all her tanning beds and gym's and hair highlights & blonde streaks & push-up bra & moisturizer, etc. Edit: Don't forget designed dress suits, eyeglasses & high heels. And maybe even mustache waxing and nose wart (with hair growth) removal. Edited October 3, 2008 by Blondigeist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vampwitchenstein Posted October 3, 2008 #28 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Hillary would destroy any of the four in a debate. I don't like her political positions, but I'd much rather have her running the country than the four we got handed too us. I think Obama made a near-fatal mistake (Palin may have saved that with her silliness) not picking her as his VP. That he didn't I'm certain is McCain's reason for picking Palin. As I'm watching this, tho- I am impressed with BOTH of them. Altho, that in no way changes my vote. I'm not impressed with certain answers, just the way they're both handling themselves and articulating their reply's. One last poke... now if only McCain had been as polite and interactive with Obama as Palin is being with Biden and as Obama WAS (and kept trying to be!) with McCain.

__Kratos__ Posted October 3, 2008 #29 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I was moving furniture so I only tuned in at around the 40 minute mark, so I'm not sure how it was up until then.. But Sarah... its time for a reality check.. They DONT hate you because of your FREEDOMS and "TOLERANCE"... They do actually. They constantly witch and moan about gays, sex and other stuff in our culture and our tolerance. Many muslims countries are even against barbie because it's unislamic for a woman to be free thinking.

Vampwitchenstein Posted October 3, 2008 #31 Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) Put your "special" helmet on, she's going to wipe the floor with Biden. Not so far...80 min in. "I may not answer the questions as you or the moderator may like but I'm talking to the American people!" -Palin, 30 seconds ago What? lol I expected something like this, her 'escape clause'. Okay; words, phrases I NEVER want to hear again!!!; Maverick. Dang it. Doggone it. Maverick. Darn it. Gosh. Change is coming. Did I say Maverick? Now lets all go out and bring in some wolf legs!

I know, not sure if you caught it but he kept taking in deep breaths that were kind of loud as if he was upset and didn't do anything about it. I suspect he wanted to throw a pie or something at smug Palin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishAidan07 Posted October 3, 2008 Author #35 Share Posted October 3, 2008 My opinion. I give a slight edge to Joe biden. My father, who watched the debate with me, gives a slight edge to Palin. I was really surprised at how well they both did. I didn't hear any gaffes at all. Also, I like Joe Biden now. Before, and many of you know this, I despised him. I guess I can't stay true to my convictions. But tonight he was honest and just sincere, I felt. And when he started talking about his family, saying "I know what it's like not to know if your......son....is going to make it." He had tears in his eyes. That was 100% real. That wasn't fake at all. It honestly teared me up to hear him struggle through that. I still don't like his flip-flopping and the plagiarisms, but overall I've gained a lot more respect for him. I sorta like him now. Palin? She just surprised the hell out of me. She did really, really well. Nobody gave her enough credit. Gwen Iffle? I don't want to hear a single Right Winger say she wasn't fair. She was a great moderator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(this angers me beyond belief). She was nothing but catch phrases. And omfGODS why did she constently go to this energy thing over and over? I mean they were talking about subprime mortgages.. and she's like "First of all.. let me talk about this energy crisis..." . . . That's ... NOT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT!

IrishAidan07 Posted October 3, 2008 Author #41 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Watching FOX News most of the people sided with Palin. And they will. MSNBC, most of those guys, will side with Biden. Again, I'm giving an edge to Biden. My dad told me he thinks its 'cause of emotion, when I teared up when he spoke of his family. But I really don't think so. I just thought he was more clear and concise. But Palin did well. You gotta give her that. Anyone who says Palin didn't do well is being 100% partisan.

Kissmet Posted October 3, 2008 #42 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I liked what she said about taking personal responsibility, that America would not take this anymore and that America has a heck of a lot to learn about what is happening with the financial crisis. She sounded very patriotic, sincere. Truly there is no dispute that they both did well but based on what I saw and how the people reacted, she connected more with the people.

I just also think Biden did better. And that's the way I've always been going and don't intend to change, but I'm kind of glad she didn't crash and burn (like with Katie Couric) because, well, I'm a Woman and that's all we need added to the 'Women driver' jokes, is Women VP jokes.

Because I have two kids and couldn't even imagine going through what Biden went through, he connected with me in that respect - of a concerned and caring parent. I think they both connected with people tonight. And while it shouldn't be forgotten that they are, in fact, politicians, they were sincere tonight.

I think in the end this is the most important thing that came out of the debate, America saw that they were both sincere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
