REPORT: Palin To attack Biden on....Foreign Policy?

[MadBadger]

"Sarah Palin plans to go on the attack in tonight's debate, hitting Joe Biden for what she will call his foreign policy blunders and penchant for adopting liberal positions on taxes and other issues, according to campaign officials involved in prepping her for tonight's showdown."

[MadrasT]

4. Joe has foreign policy 'blunders'?

Such as....the plan for Iraq? That's what they will try to get people to believe, when in fact, that is what Iraq is moving towards...

5. It's a TRAP!

:rofl:

[wileedog]

6. So if she attacks him on Iraq, can he say

"I'm sorry, I didn't realize you could see Iraq from Alaska."

[Cha]

7. Why leak it? Doesn't that give your

opponent a heads up?

[grasswire]

9. shock and awe, baby

That won't be the only leak about strategy this afternoon.

10. To throw them off maybe?

Maybe think they should prepare for being attacked by her and then throw something else out at him to catch Biden off guard?

[Cha]

13. That would make sense..Biden will

be prepared for every contingency just like when he's VP.

She better not be wearing any wires in her ear and if she is she better get Busted.

[Drunken Irishman]

16. Wow, I just re-read my post and it's barely readable.

I apologize, I did not proof read it before posting.

I really am not that incoherent, I swear!

[Cha]

18. Want to read an intelligent report on what Biden has done to prepare?

OCTOBER 2, 2008 Biden Prepares for Palin

"With Eye on Gender Pitfalls"
By AMY CHOZICK



<snip>

"Sen. Biden also has received advice from Democratic primary opponent Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York, California Sens. Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein, and a number of top campaign aides.

Aides say Sen. Biden will emphasize issues rather than attacks, and debate preparations have centered on making the case for Sen. Obama rather than tearing down Gov. Palin. "I think this will come down to bigger questions than who can throw a sharp elbow. This is a much bigger election" than that, says Patti Solis Doyle, Sen. Biden's campaign chief of staff."

8. Oh NO!

This is SERIES!!! :rofl:

[louis-t]

11. Ohhh, that'll work. Shhheeeeessh!

Little shit is gonna scold Uncle Joe 'bout his 'blunders'. And I still say, Biden should smile broadly and say "Thank you Mrs. Palin" when she starts with the "He's sooooo Liberal" stuff. Maybe he should refer to her as 'Mrs. Palin' the whole time.

12. Mitt Romney has been critical of Joe's Foreign Policy credentials

I also saw someone on tv repeating the exact points. This is what they said:
************
Romney detailed Biden’s foreign policy mistakes: He opposed Ronald Reagan’s arms build up in the ’80s and was against forcibly evicting Saddam Hussein’s forces from Kuwait in the first Gulf War, Romney said. “He opposed the surge, which has led to our success in Iraq. He was wrong on that. His record of being wrong on foreign policy is as long as his years in foreign policy.”

14. it's gonna be a "why did you vote for the war," kind of attack...

since he's apologized for voting for it. She's going to try to make it a game changer by trying to go on the offense. Iraq--what a fucking mistake:banghead:

[TexasObserver]

15. If he answers her, he'll be called a "bully," and if he doesn't, he'll be called a "wimp"

That's the RW gameplan.

But it is a bad plan, because no amount of her attacks on Biden will help her with undecided voters. She has to prove she's worthy, and attacking Biden will not do that. She will be judged on how well she answers the questions put to her about her knowledge and judgment.

17. Well Joe will have to answer her charges and counter punch.
