Republicans had 8 years for change. Why now?

And the Dems have run both houses of Congress for 2 years. What change?

Around that time, Biden in an interview with the Huffington Post, he assessed Obama and Hillary Clinton:“The more people learn about them (Obama and Hillary) and how they handle the pressure, the more their support will evaporate.�

December 11, 2007:“If Iowans believe campaign funds and celebrity will fix the debacle in Iraq, put the economy on track, and provide health care and education for America’s children, they should support another candidate,� said Biden for President Campaign Manager Luis Navarro.“But I’m confident that Iowans know what I know: our problems will require experience and leadership from Day One. Empty slogans will be no match for proven action on caucus night.�

Also that night, Biden said in a campaign ad,“When this campaign is over, political slogans like ‘experience’ and ‘change’ will mean absolutely nothing. The next president has to act.�

September 26, 2007: Biden for President Campaign Manager Luis Navarro said,“Sen. Obama said he would do everything possible to end the war in Iraq and emphasized the need for a political solution yet he failed to show up to vote for Sen. Biden’s critical amendment to provide a political solution in Iraq.

Biden, on Obama’s Iraq plan in August 2007:“I don’t want [my son] going [to Iraq],” Delaware Sen. Joe Biden said from the campaign trail Wednesday, according to a report on Radio Iowa.“But I tell you what, I don’t want my grandson or my granddaughters going back in 15 years and so how we leave makes a big difference.” Biden criticized Democratic rivals such as Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama who have voted against Iraq funding bills to try to pressure President Bush to end the war.“There’s no political point worth my son’s life,” Biden said, according to Radio Iowa.“There’s no political point worth anybody’s life out there. None.”

Biden on Meet the Press, April 29, 2007:“The threat [Saddam Hussein] presented was that, if Saddam was left unfettered, which I said during that period, for the next five years with sanctions lifted and billions of dollars into his coffers, then I believed he had the ability to acquire a tactical nuclear weapon — not by building it, by purchasing it. I also believed he was a threat in that he was — every single solitary U.N. resolution which he agreed to abide by, which was the equivalent of a peace agreement at the United Nations, after he got out of — after we kicked him out of Kuwait, he was violating. Now, the rules of the road either mean something or they don’t. The international community says “We’re going to enforce the sanctions we placed” or not. And what was the international community doing? The international community was weakening. They were pulling away.”

Biden to the Brookings Institution in 2005:“We can call it quits and withdraw from Iraq. I think that would be a gigantic mistake. Or we can set a deadline for pulling out, which I fear will only encourage our enemies to wait us out — equally a mistake.”

Analyzing the surge on Meet the Press, September 9, 2007:“I mean, the truth of the matter is that, that the — America’s — this administration’s policy and the surge are a failure, and that the surge, which was supposed to stop sectarian violence and — long enough to give political reconciliation, there’s been no political reconciliation... The reality is that, although there has been some mild progress on the security front, there is, in fact, no, no real security in Baghdad and/or in Anbar province, where I was, dealing with the most serious problem, sectarian violence. Sectarian violence is as strong and as solid and as serious a problem as it was before the surge started.”

Biden in October of 2002:“We must be clear with the American people that we are committing to Iraq for the long haul; not just the day after, but the decade after.”

Things will be much better when McCain is elected President.

Republicans had 6 years of unprecedented control of the house, senate and administration, and ran this country into the ground, and you want to place the blame on a congress that has a razor edge majority with the President that can veto. You are too funny.

Analysis of his tax plan by the Tax Policy Institute suggests he will increase the deficit by $1 trillion dollars, whereas Obama's plan will raise $300 billion. And Obama's plan gives greater tax cuts to average Americans.(http://www.washingt onpost.com/wp-dyn/content/stor y/2008/06/09/ST2008060900950.h tml)

OMG, McShame is a friggen retard! ta ta day jr. My 5 year old reads better.
He's way to old for todays world. If he wins, we all lose! I thought king george was bad but this guy should spend his days taking naps and playing bingo.

Didn't he do like 30 propaganda films for the VC? He just said he was broken. I really worry that after all that torture the guy's not right in the head.

Every 4 years the hippies, freaks of nature and cowards of the Dem party try to force their will on the American people at these conventions and every single time they get their A-$-$-E-S- handed to them by the police. Hahhahahahahahaha. Go home losers, take a bath and get a job....

I do think the military draft may have to be considered in the near term with President McCain. Many adventures around the world, Iran, Russia, Georgia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa and more. In some ways it won't be bad. There are Americans that profit from WAR. Welcome to our next administration.

Go home emo's. You lost again. Get a hair cut, take a bath and get a job... Worthless freaking generation of cowards ever.

I hope he's wearing his LifeAlert walking around that stage.

Let me ask you righty twits something; McCane has been a Senator for 26 years, Who's he going to be changing from? Himself?

I don't get it...what are they trying to change? What's this about his fellow republicans suffering "hard times."

They're the ones in power! They've run the war and they had a majority in Congress and the House for most of Bush's term. They're reaping huge profits with oil and mercenary money.

Why would they want to change that?

What the hell has he been doing for the last 22 years?
Why wait until now to bring change to Washington.

Hey man, he and Palin are "Washinton outsiders"! They're going to shake things up!
