Here comes Joey Boo Boo

POSTED: Thursday, October 11, 2012, 10:51 AM

Keep your shirt on, Democrats. They've called in their clean-up hitter:

SO WHICH Vice President Joe Biden will show up in Kentucky for Thursday night's critical debate?

Will it be . . . a) the shirtless "Joe Biden" who washes his Trans Am in the White House driveway, who offers guitar lessons on fliers outside the Oval Office, who wore a ponytail to the 2008 inauguration and once headed off to Mexico to cool his heels for a while?

Or will it be . . . b) the vice president who dropped an F-bomb on his boss the day that health-care reform passed, who said the middle class has been "buried" during President Obama's years in office, who once claimed that Franklin Roosevelt addressed the nation on television after the 1929 Wall Street crash (four years before FDR's presidency and a decade before TV) and who posed with that biker lady on his lap?

Or . . . c) the Joe Biden that can fire up a union hall with talk of his Irish-American roots in blue-collar Scranton, a happy warrior who blasts the Republican ticket for wanting to replace Medicare with "Vouchercare" and defends the Obama administration with the line that "Bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is alive"?

Look, I'm sure if FDR was able to go on TV and calm a jittery nation in 1929 that Biden can have the same impact on President Obama's re-election.

I'll be talking the debate on the Twitter machine tonight and then writing about it on the bark of trees that are right now being crushed into pulp in order to bring the news to people without electricity. See you then!

    Hillary lied; people died. bin Laden dead;Al-Qaeda alive; GM on taxpayer-funded life support.
    P.S. Biden is an idiot. He is dumber than Al Gore.

    RG doesn't seem to know how to answer a question without filibustering. Typical.

    "MSLs strategy: ignore what has actually happened and focus on an alternate reality to convince yourself its ok to vote for people whose actions clearly violate your so called principles." . . . . . LOL, the problem RG is that you've offered nothing to persuade me otherwise. Instead you pretend the GOP is a figment of my alternate reality? Jeez, what lengths you have to go to evade any criticism of the GOP. It's fun to watch.

    You can't be persuaded, you are a partisan lemming. You support a party and candidates that are opposed to principles you claim to hold dear. The evidence is overwhelming. You toss principles for party.

    "You support a party and candidates that are opposed to principles you claim to hold dear." . . . . So what? If you can't persuade me that Romney and the GOP is any more favorable to my principles, then you have no point to make. You're like a child who knows he can't win that argument, so is reduced to name calling.

    Calling me a child while accusing me of name calling. Awesome.

    "So what?" So, when push comes to shove, you'll pick party over principle, even if said party does nothing to represent your principles. Unless of course your key principle is redistribution

    "Ryan is going to stick to numbers and figures, which might be accurate but that doesn't matter because numbers and figures don't stir emotion".

    That would be a first and something many people would like to hear directly and without spin the Lib press gives them, my guess is knowledge will be more important than emotion because we can actually hear someone without emotion..just the facts!!!!!!

    "Hillary lied; people died. bin Laden dead;Al-Qaeda alive; GM on taxpayer-funded life support"

    Ford alive; took nothing!!!

    "At the end of the day, the requests that were made were fulfilled, and the additional security that could have been provided wouldn't have prevented the attack".

    WHAT???...typical Lib mumbo-jumbo..ok, then what does that say about the knowledge Barry has of the situation over there, doesn't even know what it takes and obviously has the wrong folks running things. Preventing the attack isn't the issue, making sure the attackers die first while attacking and before killing people while defending and protecting the innocent folks at any cost is. Counting on that country to protect our people is just wrong! Don't even need to see the hearing to understand that basic principle!! We should move "Forward" with that??? Don't think so!! LOL!!!

    Not sure which is more pathetic: (1) That Dems are reduced to relying on Biden to turn the election back around again or, (2) That the Repubs are so pathetic that they've been losing to an incumbent in this economy.

    ===]]] So, RG, oh principled one, [[[===

    Kind of funny how RG's logic dictates that only he and a small amount of other Americans who share his political ideology are "principled."

    Must be a coincidence.
