Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden was at a campaign event and asked a state senator to stand up and take a bow before the crowd. Too bad the senator is paralyzed and can't stand up.

Also this week, Biden made a comment that during the stock market crash of 1929, President Roosevelt went on TV to address the nation. Too bad Herbert Hoover was really president and television didn't come along for another 20 some years.

I seriously pray that John McCain is elected because of anything were to happen to Obama there is no way I would want this idiot to be president.

Yeah, yeah, what about when McCain called Putin the President of Germany. Everyone makes mistakes, everyone mixes up names and dates. These people give hundreds of speeches a year, a slip up once and awhile is understandable. Romney called Obama, Osama a few times. Not a big deal. And it's pretty sad you judge a persons character by a slip up during a campaign.
Read Biden's biography, his life has been much harder then most people. His wife and son were killed in a car accident, and yet he's still a Senator. Both McCain and Biden are very admirable people. He's a very humble and down to earth person, who can relate to the everyday person. How much money is Biden worth? How much money is McCain worth? A difference of 100 million dollars? Biden and Obama are more like the everyday people then McCain. Palin on the other hand isn't just slipping up, her opinions often make no logical sense (see her comments on Russia).
You'll have to do better then this man.

Real American, when you're grandfather stumbles and says something wrong mistakenly, do you stand up and say "You're FUCKING CLUELESS."
Biden and McCain are old men. Their allowed to slip up once and a while. You hold these people way too highly. Their not super humans. A factual mistake isn't a big deal. Obama does it. Palin does it. Little mistakes. You can start worrying when Biden says the same mistake over and over. Then you know he's either a liar, or an idiot. Like when McCain said Palin never accepted earmarks. You need to distinguish between a factual mistake, and a purposeful lie. It's actually not very hard. It just takes a little common sense.

I agree 100%. I just wish people would apply the same standard to Sarah Palin.
That was my whole point in making this post.

No. Sarah Palin flat out doesn't have a huge amount of facts straight, facts that apply to situations someone planning on becoming number 2 in charge of one of Earth's most influential societies should maybe know. Biden and McCains slip ups are a different issue, you're a real scumbag for even trying to put logical and speaking errors on the same plane.

Palin is a different issue. It's obvious Biden, McCain know the facts, for the most part. But Palin seems to fumble her way through her own opinion. She doesn't make factual errors, people don't blame her for that. They blame her for a lack of knowledge, and making illogical statements, like Russia, for example. It's not her fault at all. She isn't a national politician, she didn't spend the last year on debates and interviews. She simply isn't knowledgeable enough yet, or have the confidence. She doesn't have her own opinion. McCain's campaign tells her what to say in interviews, and she stumbles. If she gave, her honest own opinion, it would be less of an issue. Does she really think Putin flying over Alaska gives her foreign policy experience? Of course not, that's fucking insane. She simply hasn't been around nation politics long enough, to be able to have a valid opinion. She says stupid things, not necessarily factual mistakes. Although it is true when Putin flys to the US, he doesn't fly over Alaska at all.
Biden and McCain have been around for years, when they make a mistake, like the two above, we all give them the benefit of a doubt. We don't know Palin, no one does, we don't know what she knows, how she thinks. So when she gives 3 interviews in 3 weeks, we have to take whatever she says, as the truth. She hasn't been talking about this stuff for decades, so when she says something stupid, doesn't correct it, what other conclusion is their?
No one can honestly say Palin would make a better President then Biden. You need to admit that McCain choose the wrong person for the job. He choose someone exciting, new. But he didn't choose what America needs. Romney would've been a way better choice.

Those are dismissible. They're not ridiculous and embellished claims like my baby mama Palin.

You guys know damn well if that had been Sarah Palin in those videos they would have been posted up here weeks ago.

You're clueless.

Come on people, at least admit the first video is hilarious.

Yep, it is. It's just that there is a huge difference between laughing at a fuck up vs laughing at someone who IS a fuck up.

Sarah Palin isn't a fuck up. She is the governor of Alaska and has the highest approval rating of any governor in the country.

Governor Arnold was also well liked when he first got into office. Now, both Republicans and Democrats hate her. The fact is that people from her own party are starting to dislike her a lot. The initial excitement of her being on the ticket is now gone, why? Because she started to talk.

sad attempt to draw attention away from the redneck hockey bitch.
