If Obama really picks kaine then he has handed Virginia to McCain. kaine has been nothing but a screw up since he took office and Virginia voters realize this. Between his failings with creating a transportation plan for Hampton Roads to the state deficit, he has failed to plan accordingly and this is known by all Virginians who actually understand politics. The uber liberal areas to our north cannot carry the Virginia vote alone.

Barak, please pick Timmy for your running mate!!!!!!

When Timmy gets back to Richmond after they are thoroughly trounced by McCain and his running mate most of the hot air should be knocked out of his sails.

Oh, the thought of it. Two empty suits running on the Donkey ticket. If Barak picks Timmy then this will be an affirmation that he is still smoking something.

Tim is not the best choice due to the fact that he will be viewed as having too little experience. I think the verdict is still out on his total impact on Virginia as Governor.

FYI :

Bayh's wife has told her neighbors to prapare for a media storm. She explained that she was sorry for any inconvenience they may be caused in the next few weeks. Bayh WILL be the choice.

Obama is coming to Chesapeake tomorrow. They just said on GMA that within 48 hours Obama would announce his running mate. Now if he's in Chesapeake, Virginia within that 48 hour period, who do you think he's picking?

OBAMA ON GUNS

Just how does The Chosen One feel about the 2nd Amendment? After the Supreme Court ruled on the DC gun ban Obama was somewhat trapped. His previous position in favor of the ban was inoperative, so he had to come up with a new position. So ... what would that be? The Big BO's position on guns is that nobody in this country should be allowed to carry a concealed weapon unless they are retired law enforcement officers or members of the U.S. military. We could phrase this another way: Nobody can carry a concealed weapon unless they work for the government as a member of the U.S. military or civilian law enforcement, or used to work for the government as a police officer. This is Obama, folks. Privileges for government and those who work for government ... but for the common man, not so much.

Ahhhhh .... But he's so suave, so debonair, and he speaks so well! It doesn't really matter what he says, but he sure says it good!

SADDLEBACK AFTERMATH CONTINUES

What's amazing to me is that talk of this Saddleback forum has yet to subside. People are still talking about it, and the Obama campaign is still grumbling about John McCain cheating. What's funny is that a majority of Americans wouldn't have even heard about Saddleback, much less cared, if it wasn't for the Barack Obama campaign. If the Obama coneheads had just left it alone and stopped its whining about John McCain cheating because he wasn't in this "cone of silence," Obama could have slipped this one under the radar. Instead, many are now realizing that their chosen one may not be a stud without his teleprompter.

This point came from a listener ... and I'll repeat it below:

When anyone who is not a Democrat or a liberal succeeds at anything .. a liberal will tell you it is because they cheated.

Your name has me intrigued. I saw it and thought, "Wow! At last, here comes the truth." How disappointing. I keep waiting for the part of your posts that is "The Truth". When are you going to get around to it? Is that just a name to make you look somehow more intelligent?

IS JOE BIDEN REALLY THE MESSIAH'S CHOICE?

There has been so much speculation about the Vice Presidential choices for Obama and McCain. As close as we are to finding out Obama's chosen one – we have to wait until August 29th for McCain's – much speculation has landed on Delaware's Joe Biden.

We won't get into too much detail because we don't know for sure whether Biden would be Obama's choice, but just to give you an idea of who is at the top of Obama's list ... here are a few things to remember about Joseph Biden.

Let's start with a few classic Biden moments:

--"In Delaware, the largest growth in population is Indian Americans, moving from India. You cannot go to a 7/11 or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I'm not joking." - July 2006

--Barack Obama is a "clean" black person.– February 2007

--One reason that so many District of Columbia schools fail is the city's high minority population.– October 2007 (Now that may be true, but a liberal can't say it.)

Ok so let's be honest ... these aren't the real reasons that Joe Biden would be a lousy (or good, depending on your politics) choice for a Vice President. So the guy says what's on his mind, politically correct or not. The real reasons that you don't want people like Joe Biden in the White House is because he has three priorities as a politician: Ending the war in Iraq, universal healthcare, and building up government schools. Not to mention that he also believes in this global warming scam.

What Biden ads to Obama's ticket is experience, particularly on foreign policy. He is, after all, the head of the Foreign Relations Committee. But what Obama doesn't need is someone that emphasizes his own inexperience. Biden himself has said that the White House isn't the place where you learn on the job ... the very criticism that many have of Barack Obama. Take a look at a Biden campaign commercial from 1988.

Or maybe this is all just a distraction to keep us occupied. Frankly, I'm still occupied quite enough, than you, thinking about The Chosen One's affinity for Marxism.

I guess the campaign slogan for the Democrats in '08 will be:

"Experience, who needs experience?"

Or maybe:

"Hey, you gotta start somewhere, might as well be on top!"

What must the unions think about these newbies being promoted right to upper management???

Obama calls on McCain to acknowledge his m
Obama tries to push back McCain's shots at his character, without impugning McCain's, in a speech to veterans today. In particular, he's demanding that McCain call him a patriot -- forcing the direct question to a candidate who, at times, shies away from his own harsh attacks; and pressing a storyline Obama likes: That McCain is Mr. Negative.
Call Obama patriot no way in H E L L is this man a patriot. He goes out in the world and give his speeches. What is he saying is the he has a problem with this country. I call his speeches “ GOD HOW I HATE AMERICA “ Just listen to him and how he talks about his country and is the talk of a patriot.

It is really hard to believe that O will choose Kaine regardless of their friendship because I saw Kaine on Meet the Press and didn't think he was all that and a bag of chips. Biden would be better but he may overshadow O. You know how many times we have all said, I wish the vice presidential candidate was the one running for president? That's happened a lot. Evan Bayr?? Don't even know if I spelled his name correctly. He sounds like one big yawn when he talks. Ugh. Oh, and by the Mr. "The Truth", you need to take some nice medicine. You sound like a hater. You need to calm down, man.

Somehow nutjobs like yourself have convinced themselves (probably through Rove talking points) that Obama is going to hand the country over to the terrorists while we're asleep at night.

TRUTH: Republicans like H.W. Bush Sr. & Bush Jr. as well as James Baker are invested w/ the Carlyle Group which does business w/ Middle Eastern companies (including the Bin Laden family) and awards them contracts that are involved w/ our nat'l security. Republicans don't care whom thay hand the reins to (Saudis for instance) as long as their wallet gets fatter.

But I guess we should all be scared b/c we have a black candidate w/ "Hussein" as his middle name. I have a friend who's middle name is "Francis". By Conservative logic, he must be out stealing Pee-Wees bike right now.

What a nightmare thinking about a novice senator and an even more novice governor running our country. Kaine has been an absolute joke for Virginia. A shoot from the hip kind of governor.
