- friscos, on 09/06/2008, -25/+356Preach it, Joe! The RNC was a classic scene of willful ignorance - ignore something hoping it will just "go away". McCain and the GOP just. don't. get. it. GIVE 'EM HELL JOE (partial transcript courtesy of Al Rodgers' at Daily Kos):
"They announced the unemployment figures nationwide. For the eighth month in a row, Americans have lost jobs. We have lost 604,000 jobs in a America, just this calendar year. We're in a position where we had 84,000 lost jobs, shattered dreams, broken homes that occurred as a consequence of this loss of work just in the month of August. We now have 6.1 percent of the American work force idle. And you know what that means.
"When a man or woman loses their job, they not only lose their income, they lose their sense of dignity, they lose who their identity, who they are. That's how we identify ourselves. That's how we're brought up. That's how in my neighborhood and yours, you're identified. You're identified by your willingness to work hard, your willingness to do the right thing, your willingness to show up every day and provide for your family. And so it's not merely a lost job. It's a lost sense of identity that occurs.
"This ain't your father's Republican Party, by the way. This is a different Republican Party.
"But, I'll tell you, it's not so much of what I heard in the Republican convention. When you heard John speak last night. It's not so much what I heard, when I heard part of what the Governor had to say, the vice presidential candidate. It's what I didn't hear.
The silence - the silence of the Republican Party was deafening. It was deafening on jobs, on health care, on the environment, on all the things that matter to the people in the neighborhoods I grew up in. Deafening!
"Ladies and gentlemen, their America is not the America I live in. They see something different than I see." - tcbishop12, on 09/06/2008, -19/+286Wow!
Let me say that again: WOW!
Give 'em hell, Joe! - Axlor, on 09/06/2008, -15/+265Pretty much spot on. The speeches given during the RNC had no substance. They either attacked the dems or played on Americans' emotions of fear and apathy. At some points their speeches were even demeaning to the American people.
I'm not a huge fan of either party but I do hope the dems win in november simply because I honestly John McCain is not intelligent enough to be our president. I don't want an average joe president who is just like me...I want a hard working genius who holds him/herself to a much higher standard. A leader smart enough to lead in the right direction. - Muzikal203, on 09/06/2008, -17/+197I love this guy, he rocks! You can tell he's sincere in his anger over the Republicans ignoring the issues, and he really CARES about the people he's talking to.
Best VP ever! - JenniferInMO, on 09/06/2008, -16/+167I have always thought highly of Joe Biden, but WOW he is so on point with what we need and what we want there should be no contest. Thank you, Joe. Thank you expressing our indignation about the past 8 years! And thank you for working so hard to change the way we govern so that we can shine again.
Barack and Joe are giving it all they have people. They need our help. Please go to the action center on www.barackobama.com and do something. You can canvass, make phone calls, blog, donate money, volunteer at a local campaign office, but most important we must remain on point with the forward movement for change. I need help on my grassroots fundraising page on Obama's site, so feel free to help pass my link around or to contribute on my page. http://my.barackobama.com/page/outreach/view/main/ ... - forthewin11, on 09/06/2008, -10/+157I feel really bad for Palin... she has to debate him.
Way to go Joe! - danceyoumonster, on 09/06/2008, -15/+148I'm gonna enjoy THIS GUY booting Darth Vader out of the Naval Observatory.
- indybend, on 09/06/2008, -17/+141I love this man!
- keigwyn, on 09/06/2008, -11/+126His ending with the Truman quote: "I'm not going to give 'em hell, I'm gonna tell them the truth, and they're gonna think it's hell!"

Flawless Victory
Fatality - WafflesID, on 09/06/2008, -5/+111God DAMN.
I actually watched this twice because it was so full of EPIC WIN that my brain just couldn't process it all in one viewing. - kaoru777, on 09/06/2008, -12/+107Biden says it like it is!!!!!! He is the real America not like those Republicans pretend to be.
- inactive, on 09/06/2008, -11/+94Obama / Biden is CLEARLY the better choice for America.
- lolupissed, on 09/06/2008, -8/+87I'm voting for Obama just because I am tired of George ***** Bush and his pawn John "I'm a POW you mother *****" McCain
- seiha, on 09/06/2008, -7/+77POW! Right in the kisser
- arielh85, on 09/06/2008, -13/+80I LOVE this man.

Totally spot on, told it like it is, what else can I say?
Oh yeah, I thought of another one.
He would make a terrific vice president. - inactive, on 09/06/2008, -7/+58Dude is fired up. Can't wait for the VP debate, I hope he comes out swinging and doesn't hold back just because his opponent is a woman.
- sugarazor, on 09/06/2008, -5/+53Joey the Shark is going to eat the barracuda for breakfast come Oct. 2
- WDCBoomer, on 09/06/2008, -9/+57THANK YOU JOE!! I am so glad that you are here for the Country! You are a great American.
- perple, on 09/06/2008, -8/+51Biden > Palin + McLame
- Someguy101, on 02/19/2009, -2/+42Damn it feels good to know there's going to be someone in the White House that understands what really matters.
- Yosef52, on 09/06/2008, -18/+54I saw this really good e-mail about John McCain's history of corruption:
http://jamillerrampant.blogspot.com/2008/09/anti-m ... - xrisnothing, on 09/06/2008, -2/+38I don't feel bad for Frau Palin at all.
- dagnabbit, on 09/06/2008, -7/+42Where was this guy during the primaries? Damn he's awesome.
- PW840, on 09/06/2008, -7/+41The attack dogs are loose and its only going to get better.
sic'em JOE!!! - GumGuts, on 09/06/2008, -7/+39Holy ***** dude
Whoopin' some ass yo - themonkman, on 09/06/2008, -4/+34I, for one, cannot wait for Biden to rip Palin to shreds in the debate. I've only seen her for a week, and I can already see that all she has is snide remarks, and utter disrespect for those in communities who work so hard to make their neighborhoods better. All I see is a person who might as well be a recording of whatever her speechwriters program her to say. All I hear is nothing. Absolutely nothing. It's saddening. I consider myself a very fiscally conservative Republican. I've served my country with all I had in the Army. I've written my congressmen and congresswomen pleading that they fix the corrupted politics of Washington and regain our respect in the international community. I see nothing in McCain and Palin that connects to my values. I see people who harp at those who waste money, while they waste it themselves. I see those Republicans who talk about smaller government, but do all in their power to make it bigger and more obtrusive. I see the tactics of fear mongering. I see the lack of respect for our Constitution. When I look at the McCain/Palin ticket, I see nothing but a big and black void of nothingness. No real message. No real solutions. For the first time in my adult life, I can honestly say that there are two Democrats that get it fairly right. Those are Obama and Biden. They aren't perfect, and I don't agree with everything they say, but they at least say and promote plans that would actually work. I think this year, I'll drop my big red R. I don't know if I can hang the D on my shoulder, but right now I think I know who's going to get my vote this year.
- Lula87, on 09/06/2008, -7/+35This video rocks! Obama/Biden 08
- TheKarmaPolice, on 09/06/2008, -9/+37if you don't vote for him then you're sexist. how dare you vote to put palin in office, do you hate men or something?
- Akbad, on 09/06/2008, -4/+30Great job Joe! "The TRUTH shall set you free!"
- Rikkochet, on 09/06/2008, -2/+27Dear god. After 8 years of listening to American politicians make "statements" I'd completely forgotten that you do actually have some eloquent, powerful speakers in the ranks.
That was a hell of a speech and he's a hell of a speaker. - JohnnyMarr, on 09/06/2008, -2/+27I take it you missed the DNC convention.
- roxgod666, on 09/06/2008, -0/+25wow this week has been hell for the republicans. Their getting owned from everywhere
- Rikkochet, on 09/06/2008, -0/+23Hey buddy, your rabbit ate your comment and then pooped all over the place. Pick those up.
- sullivanst, on 09/06/2008, -1/+24He was pwning then too, but his fundraising sucked so the mass media buried him.
- sullivanst, on 09/06/2008, -3/+25He already established the issues at convention.
And besides, that was merely a small exerpt from the speech you *****. - JohnnyMarr, on 09/06/2008, -3/+25Buried for:
1. Bad decision
2. Misspelling of "Palin" - Rikkochet, on 09/06/2008, -0/+21It's a battle of wits, not a cage match. I hope there's no code of honour saying you can't smash a woman's arguments using superior logic. He's not going to be grabbing a chair and smashing it over her head, is he?
Is he? *****, I better tune in just in case. - FRodriguez719, on 09/06/2008, -0/+21Kind of nice to have someone like Biden who is intelligent, articulate, tough, truthful and who can think on his feet for a change, isn't it?
As opposed to the Republicans who have to have every lie scripted for them just so that they can flub and deliver them poorly.
Biden is known to be a "quick-draw". - inactive, on 09/06/2008, -3/+21Assuming you actually have a mind
- 0xABADC0DA, on 09/06/2008, -0/+18malignorance, noun: willful ignorance; stupidity so profound that it infects those that witness it; malignant cancerous tumor of stupid; cf. Republican party.
- ProfessorFoo, on 09/06/2008, -1/+19It isn't even close.
- JohnnyMarr, on 09/06/2008, -0/+17I'm going to be listening for the epic "FINISH HER" on 2 October.
