Wow, Republicans must be SCARED SHITLESS about an Obama-Biden ticket...

[polichick]

They're on the air all over the place saying what a horrible choice it is! LOL

[Triana]

1. The McInsane camp are already playing clips of Biden trashing Obama in the primaries...

...PREDICTABLE.

[MiniMe]

26. McCain forgets it works both ways. Roll the tape of Romney criticizing McSame

:rofl:

[writes3000]

2. Yep, they're scared. Their change argument is beyond weak. nt

[rucky]

that's a sure sign we're doing something right. n/t

[Muttocracy]

3. spin, spin - Chuck Todd on it:

On the GOP side, the sound you heard was disappointed silence. Of everyone on the short list, the candidate many Republicans least wanted to see Obama pick was Biden. Sure, they've already trotted out their talking points. And the McCain camp even produced a rapid-response TV ad highlighting some unkind words Biden said about Obama during the primaries. (We assume this now means McCain won’t be picking Romney, right? And doesn't the McCain ad actually send the message to swing voters that Obama's willing to surround himself with critics?) But there are too many intellectual conservatives (see David Brooks) who believe Biden's the most qualified guy Obama could have realistically picked.

5. Great b&w signature pic of Biden!

[Muttocracy]

9. I wish I had download the rest of the set before Biden's site switched!

I need to get a joint one though, instead of my split avatar/sig

[flpoljunkie]

12. Well, you picked a good one!

[ErinBerin84]

4. who is the cross eyed Repuke who was just on MSNBC?

I always forget his name. Haha, the Dem said that George Bush had a bunch of "yes men and flunkies" working for him, and the repuke said "I am NOT going to sit here and let you say that!"

[polichick]

6. I think his last name is Christie - he was practically crying!

[opihimoimoi]

7. Prolly a Pub Wuss

[lib2DaBone]

19. Way to go.....

That's exactly what we have to do. Throw back every little dirty piece of dung that comes out of their mouths.

[VolcanoJen]

8. The GOP didn't think Obama had the guts to pick Biden.

They were banking on an unknown like Kaine... they're well aware that Biden is an excellent choice and that this is a formidable ticket.

[Heather MC]

10. I image they have list of all the possible picks on the Veeps stakes

and at the bottom of the list a quote
"What a horrible choice _______________ is!

At time of announcement insert picks name in the blank
Biden
Clinton
Bayh
Richardson
Sebilous (sp)
the family dog
1st grade teacher
pastor Wright
Ayers
Rezko
:rofl:

[DailyGrind51]

11. Watch Biden mop the floor with Romney's well-coifed hair!

[polichick]

14. Can't wait for that debate!

[highplainsdem]

13. I don't think they're happy about the ticket, but they'd have been more afraid of Obama/Clinton.

They can read polls, too. And the polls showed that although Biden was definitely more favored by Democrats than potential veeps like Bayh and Kaine, the majority of Democrats wanted Clinton as VP. The polls show our party isn't united. And if you think the fact this ISN'T the unity ticket they feared isn't at least some consolation to the Republicans, even with Biden a pretty good choice for VP, you're kidding yourself.

I hope Biden can help Obama unite the party. But only the polls will tell us if he's doing that. GDPers are so unrepresentative of Democrats in general that most of them never understood how much support Clinton had, and still has.

Republicans did...and they did not want to run against her, whether she was at the top of the ticket or VP.

[polichick]

15. I disagree - Pat Buchanan's been praying for that ticket.

[Colobo]

17. Obama/Biden rocks, high. It's an excellent ticket.

[chascarrillo]

27. The primaries are over. Get over it.

[rasputin1952]

16. They've known they were going down hard for quite some time...

they are merely screaming into a moonless night. They have nothing, we know it, they know it, and they can scream all they want. They are going lose not just the WH, but Congress will gain D's as well...hopefully a LOT of D's.

The GOP is a complete disaster, one they created on their own. The neo-cons have destroyed whatever dignity the GOP had and I am looking forward the burial of the neo-con movement once and for all.

[polichick]

18. What a great day that will be!!!

[lib2DaBone]

20. They are scared shitless.. that's why they are dangerous....

The Dems CAN NOT afford to take the attacks unanswered this time. When Kerry let the attackers go unanswered in '04.. not only did he loose ground.. he gained the "contempt" of the voters for being such a wimp. (Thus, we got the storyline of 'the guy you'd like to have a beer with vs the windsurfing wimp'). Sorry to say that the Republicans have turned the Presidential election into a World Wrestling Federation match or a high school cheer-leading contest, but they have. Think back to 8th grade.. when the bully kept taking your lunch money. When you finally picked up a baseball bat and cracked him over the head.. it stopped. Karl Rove and the Swift boaters are in meetings at this very minute. They are faxing their talking points to the media whores at CNN and Faux as we speak. Obama and Biden have got to be ready for the: underhanded-unbelievable-lies-smears-strawman-sick-despicable attacks that are going to come from the right.

[polichick]

21. Yep, the next round starts today. It'll be a fight that we'll win!

[AnotherMother4Peace]

22. You are correct - RW radio is getting increasingly racist, hateful, & inflammatory,

The RW radio "personalties" are getting real close to inciting violence against anyone & thing they deem "the terror within" and "dangerous". I don't know where the FCC is, but some of the crap coming from RW radio / television should be getting them in trouble.

[polichick]

23. It's a disgrace that these haters have been given air time in the U.S.

[rasputin1952]

24. Go here and register your complaint...but you have to have specifics

you just can't say, "Limbaugh sucks", you need to have dates and times when they do this stuff.

Every time I have made a complaint, they've followed up, even if they didn't act. Action depends on the # of complaints per item.

28. Thank you - I will add to favorites, & make notes of some of the crap I hear. n/t

25. They should be scared we are going to kick some serious Ass
